4.1 Customer will pay Company the applicable fees for the Services as set forth at the time of purchase on the Company's website or checkout page (the "Fees"). Subscriptions are available on a monthly or annual basis as selected by Customer at checkout. Fees are payable in advance for each billing period. If Customer's use of the Services exceeds the service capacity included in Customer's subscription or otherwise requires the payment of additional fees (per the terms of this Agreement), Customer shall be billed for such usage and Customer agrees to pay the additional fees in the manner provided herein. Company reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of the then-current subscription term, upon thirty (30) days' prior notice to Customer (which may be sent by email).

Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection and may result in immediate termination of Service. Customer shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Services other than U.S. taxes based on Company's net income.
5. Term and Termination
5.1 This Agreement is effective on the date Customer first creates an account or uses the Services. The initial subscription term shall be the period selected by Customer at checkout (monthly or annual). Annual subscriptions renew automatically unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current term. Monthly subscriptions renew automatically each month and may be cancelled at any time before the end of the current monthly period, with cancellation taking effect at the end of that period. Free accounts continue until closed by Customer or terminated by Company under Section 5.4.
5.2 In addition to any other remedies it may have, either party may also terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' notice (or without notice in the case of nonpayment), if the other party materially breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement. Customer will pay in full for the Services up to and including the last day on which the Services are provided.
5.3 Customer may request deletion of Customer Data at any time, or delete its account within the Services where that option is available.

5.4 Notwithstanding Section 5.2, Company may, with or without notice: (a) immediately suspend Customer's access to the Services, or terminate this Agreement, if Customer breaches this Agreement or the Policy, fails to pay Fees when due, or if required by law; and (b) terminate this Agreement for any free account at any time, for any reason. Upon termination under this Section, all Fees accrued up to the termination date remain due, recurring billing stops, and Section 5.3 applies to Customer Data. If termination under this Section is caused by Customer's breach or non-payment, prepaid Fees are non-refundable, except as required by law. If Company terminates this Agreement because the law requires it and Customer is not in breach, Company will refund unused prepaid Fees. If Company suspends Customer's access or terminates this Agreement, Customer may not create a new account, whether under its own name, a different email address, or on behalf of or through any third party, without Company's prior written consent.

If, due to a claim of infringement, the Services are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be or are believed by Company to be infringing, Company may, at its option and expense (a) replace or modify the Service to be non-infringing provided that such modification or replacement contains substantially similar features and functionality, (b) obtain for Customer a license to continue using the Service, or (c) if neither of the foregoing is commercially practicable, terminate this Agreement and Customer's rights hereunder and provide Customer a refund of any prepaid, unused fees for the Service.
