12. Charges and Payment of Fees

You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. Implementation charges and Service Fees during the Initial Term will be as specified on the Service Order Form.  Service Fees may be made annually, or quarterly, as mutually agreed upon and specified on the Service Order Form.  You are responsible for paying for all Service Fees ordered for the entire Term, whether or not accounts for individual Users are actively used.  Service Fees will apply from the Service Commencement Date, irrespective of when you actually begin using the Service, provided that on the Service Commencement Date you have been provided with a valid URL to access the Service and an active administrator User ID and password.

13. Billing and Renewal

Youmanage charges and collects in advance for use of the Service.  Unless otherwise stated on the Service Order Form, Youmanage will invoice you for the first period’s Service Fees on the Service Commencement Date and then will automatically renew and issue invoices to you a) on each subsequent Quarterly Anniversary of the Service Commencement Date for quarterly-paid Service Fees, or b) on each yearly anniversary of the Service Commencement Date for annually-paid Service Fees.  The charge will be equal to the Service Fee as specified on the Service Order Form, unless Youmanage at least 45 days prior to the renewal of the term has given written notice of a fee increase, which shall be effective upon renewal and thereafter. Youmanage may increase the charge for periods subsequent to the first anniversary of the Service Commencement Date by giving not less than 45 days prior written notice but any increase shall not exceed the percentage increase in the Retail Price Index published by the Office for National Statistics for the preceding 12 months (or any replacement or successor index).  If the number of Active Employees on any Anniversary of the Service Commencement Date exceeds the maximum number stated on the Service Order Form, Youmanage will be entitled to increase the Service Fees for the subsequent term to reflect the then current Service Fees for that number of Active Employees.  The Implementation Charges specified on the Service Order Form will be billed on the Date of Order and are payable either within 14 days or prior to the Service Commencement Date, whichever is the earlier.  Fees for any other Service supplied by Youmanage will be charged on an as-quoted basis. Youmanage’s fees are exclusive of VAT which will be added to invoices as appropriate at the prevailing rate.

You agree to provide Youmanage with complete and accurate billing and contact information. This information includes your legal company name, address, e-mail address, and name and telephone number of an authorised billing contact and Client Administrator. You agree to update this information within 30 days of any change to it.  If the contact information you have provided is false or fraudulent, Youmanage reserves the right to terminate your access to the Service in addition to any other legal remedies.  If you believe your bill is incorrect, you must contact us in writing within 14 days of receipt of the invoice containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit.

14. Non-Payment and Suspension

In addition to any other rights granted to Youmanage by this Agreement, Youmanage reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and your access to the Service if your account falls into arrears.  Accounts in arrears are subject to interest of 2.0% per annum on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all reasonable expenses of collection.  You will continue to be charged Service Fees during any period of suspension.  If you or Youmanage initiates termination of this Agreement, you will be obliged to pay the balance due on your account computed in accordance with the Charges and Payment of Fees section above.  You agree that Youmanage may charge and invoice you for such unpaid fees.  Youmanage reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee if you are suspended and thereafter request access to the Service.  You agree and acknowledge that Youmanage has no obligation to retain Customer Data except as expressly stated in this Agreement.  Your Customer Data may be irretrievably deleted in accordance with Clause 17 (Consequences of termination) if this Agreement is terminated because your account is 30 days or more overdue provided that Youmanage will give you 30 days after the date of termination to retrieve your Customer Data using the reporting exporting tools available.

15. Termination/ Reduction upon Expiration

This Agreement commences on the Date of Order. The Initial Term of this Agreement will commence on the Service Commencement Date and will be as specified on the Service Order Form. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive terms of one year from the end of the Initial Term.  After the Initial Term either party may terminate this Agreement by notifying the other party in writing at least thirty business days prior to the commencement of the following term, such notice to take effect on the appropriate anniversary of the Service Commencement Date.  You may reduce the number of Active Employees or Modules that the Service Fee covers, effective only upon the expiration of the then current term, by notifying Youmanage in writing at least thirty days prior to the commencement of the following term and Youmanage will reduce the Service Fees accordingly.

16. Termination for Cause

Any breach of your payment obligations or unauthorised use of the Youmanage Technology, Service or Content will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.  Youmanage, in its sole discretion, may terminate any or all of your User accounts immediately if you breach or otherwise fail to comply with this Agreement or become insolvent.  Any actual or proposed change in control of you that results or would result in a direct competitor of Youmanage directly or indirectly owning or controlling 50% or more of you shall entitle Youmanage to terminate this Agreement for reasonable cause immediately upon written notice (provided that you shall have ten (10) days in which to retrieve your Customer Data from the Service using the reporting exporting tools available).

You may terminate this Agreement if Youmanage is in material breach of its terms or becomes insolvent.

You agree and acknowledge that Youmanage has no obligation to retain your Customer Data, and may delete such Customer Data upon written notice to you, if you have materially breached this Agreement, including but not limited to failure to pay outstanding fees, and such breach has not been cured within 30 days of Youmanage giving you notice of such breach.

17. Consequences of Termination

Termination of this Agreement, however arising, shall not affect or prejudice the accrued rights of the parties as at termination or the continuation of any provision expressly stated to survive, or implicitly surviving, termination.  Without prejudice to the foregoing generality, Clauses 9 (Intellectual Property Ownership), 10 (Confidentiality), 12 (Charges and Payment of Fees), 17 (Consequences of termination), 19 (Indemnification), 20 (Limitation of Liability), 27 (General) and 28 (Definitions) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

On termination of this Agreement all licences granted under this Agreement shall immediately terminate and you shall return and make no further use of any equipment, property, documentation and other items (and all copies of them) belonging to Youmanage.  On termination of this Agreement, and at your discretion, Youmanage shall provide you with a complete backup of your Customer data in a reusable format or securely destroy or otherwise dispose of any of the Customer Data in its possession in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.  Alternatively, if you prefer Youmanage will make the Service accessible to you for 30 days after the date of termination to enable you to retrieve your Customer Data using the exporting tools available.  You agree and acknowledge that Youmanage has no obligation to retain your Customer Data after such 30 day period, and shall delete such Customer Data, up to 60 days after termination of this Agreement.

Youmanage shall retain copies of the Service Order Form, this Agreement and the associated financial records (including invoices) for seven (7) years following termination of this Agreement.
