6. Third Party Interactions
During use of the Service, you may enter into correspondence with, purchase goods and/or services from, or participate in promotions of advertisers, sponsors, or partners. Any such activity, and any terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such activity, is solely between you and the applicable third-party. Mercury Grove and its licensors shall have no liability, obligation or responsibility for any such correspondence, purchase or promotion between you and any such third-party. Mercury Grove does not endorse any sites on the Internet that are linked through the Service. Mercury Grove provides the Service to you pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You recognize, however, that certain third-party providers of ancillary software, hardware or services may require your agreement to additional or different license or other terms prior to your use of or access to such software, hardware or services.

7. 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 as may be set out on an Order Form. The initial charges will be equal to the service fee associated with the Service edition that you have ordered and have been provisioned. Payments may be made annually, or monthly, consistent with the Initial Term, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon. You are responsible for paying for the Service ordered for the entire License Term, whether or not such Service is actively used. You must provide Mercury Grove, or a third-party merchant entity contracted by Mercury Grove, with valid credit card, bank account, or approved purchase order information as a condition to signing up for the paid Service. Mercury Grove reserves the right to modify its fees and charges and to introduce new charges at any time, upon at least thirty (30) days prior notice to you, which notice may be provided by e-mail. The Primary Licensing Contact or Secondary Licensing Contact may upgrade the Service of your environment. Changes to the Service will be subject to the following: (i) selected edition will assume preexisting License Term (either Initial Term or renewal term); (ii) the fee for the selected edition will be the then current, generally applicable Service fee; and (iii) Service upgrades performed in the middle of a billing month will be charged in full for that billing month. Mercury Grove reserves the right to modify its fees and charges and to introduce new charges at any time, upon at least thirty (30) days prior notice to you, which notice may be provided by e-mail. All pricing terms are confidential, and you agree not to disclose them to any third party.
As described on our website, each Service edition provides a maximum storage space for file storage. Mercury Grove reserves the right to modify the limits applicable to various Service editions from time to time, effective upon posting at www.mercurygrove.com. If you exceed the limits applicable to the Service edition you order, Mercury Grove reserves the right to charge you the full Service rate for the next larger edition (or even larger editions, should your usage exceed other thresholds). Mercury Grove will use reasonable efforts to notify you when your usage reaches approximately 90% of the maximum for the Service edition you ordered; however, any failure by Mercury Grove to so notify you shall not affect your responsibility for such additional charges.

8. Billing and Renewal
Mercury Grove charges and collects in advance for use of the Service. Mercury Grove, or a third-party merchant entity contracted by Mercury Grove will automatically renew and debit your credit card or bank account or issue an invoice to you (a) every month for monthly licenses, (b) each year on the subsequent anniversary for annual licenses, or (c) as otherwise mutually agreed upon. The renewal charge will be equal to the recurring service fee associated with the licenses you have ordered and have been provisioned, unless Mercury Grove has given you at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of a fee increase, which shall be effective upon renewal and thereafter. Fees for other services will be charged on an as-quoted basis. Mercury Grove's fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only taxes based solely on Mercury Grove's income.
You agree to provide Mercury Grove or its third-party merchant entity with complete and accurate billing and contact information. This information includes your legal company name, street address, e-mail address, and name and telephone number of an authorized billing contact, Primary Licensing Contact, and Secondary Licensing Contact. You agree to update this information within thirty (30) days of any change to it. If the contact information you have provided is false or fraudulent, Mercury Grove reserves the right to terminate your access to the Service in addition to any other legal remedies.
Unless Mercury Grove in its discretion determines otherwise, entities will be billed in U.S. dollars and subject to U.S. payment terms and pricing schemes. If you believe your bill is incorrect, you must contact us in writing within thirty (30) days of the billing date of the bill containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit.

9. Non-Payment and Suspension
In addition to any other rights granted to Mercury Grove herein, Mercury Grove reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and your access to the Service if your account becomes delinquent (falls into arrears). Delinquent invoices (accounts in arrears) are subject to interest of one percent (1.0%) per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. You will continue to be charged for licenses during any period of suspension. If you or Mercury Grove initiates termination of this Agreement, you will be obligated to pay the balance due on your account computed in accordance with the Charges and Payment of Fees section above. You agree that Mercury Grove may charge such unpaid fees to your credit card or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees.
Mercury Grove reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee in the event your Agreement is suspended and you thereafter request access to the Service. You agree and acknowledge that Mercury Grove has no obligation to retain your Data and that such Data may be irretrievably deleted if your account is thirty (30) days or more delinquent.

10. Termination upon Expiration/Reduction in Number of Licenses/Bankruptcy
This Agreement commences on the Effective Date. The Initial Term will be as you elect during the online subscription process or as otherwise mutually agreed upon, commencing on the date you agree to pay for the Service by completing the online subscription form or otherwise. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive renewal terms equal in duration to the Initial Term (or one year, if the Initial Term is greater than one year) at Mercury Grove's then current fees. This Agreement will terminate upon, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, written notice of termination by one party to the other party if such other party: (i) commits an act of bankruptcy; (ii) seeks an arrangement or compromise with its creditors under any statute or otherwise; (iii) is subject to proceedings in bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation or insolvency and same is not dismissed within ninety (90) days; (iv) makes an assignment for the benefit of the creditors; (v) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature; or (vi) ceases to function as a going concern or to conduct its operations in the normal course of business. Either party may terminate this Agreement or downgrade the Service edition, effective only upon the expiration of the then current License Term, by notifying the other party in writing at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the date of the invoice for the following term. In the event this Agreement is terminated (other than by reason of your breach), Mercury Grove will make available to you a file of your Data within thirty (30) days of termination if you so request at the time of termination. You agree and acknowledge that Mercury Grove has no obligation to retain your Data, and may delete such Data, more than thirty (30) days after termination.

In addition, Mercury Grove may terminate a trial account at any time in its sole discretion.
