Customer shall be liable to pay such additional charges as may be specified by FWS prior to providing such personalized support, customized tools, or other custom/non-standard work.

3.2. Changes in Fees. FWS may change the fees charged for the Services at any time, provided that, for Services billed on a subscription basis, the change will become effective only at the end of the then-current billing cycle of Customer's subscription. FWS will provide Customer with reasonable prior written notice of any change in fees to give Customer an opportunity to cancel Customer's subscription before the price change becomes effective.

3.3. Invoicing and Payment. Unless explicitly specified otherwise in an Order Form or unless the subscription is cancelled by the Customer, subscriptions will be renewed automatically, and all fees will be deducted from the specified payment method automatically. Customer agrees to provide FWS with valid and updated credit card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to FWS. If Customer provides credit card information to FWS, unless specified otherwise in an Order Form, Customer authorizes FWS to charge such credit card for all Services listed in the Order Form for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth in Section 9.2 below. Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, FWS will invoice Customer in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced fees must be paid by Customer to FWS within fifteen (15) days of the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to FWS and notifying FWS of any changes to such information.

3.4. Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is not received by FWS by the due date, then without limiting FWS's rights or remedies, (a) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) FWS may condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified in the "Invoicing and Payment" section above.

3.5. Chargeback. Initiating a chargeback for any fees or payment made to or deducted by FWS shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. FWS reserves the right to: (a) disable or delete Customer's account(s) and all associated data, (b) revoke Customer's licenses, (c) refuse to provide Services in future, (d) charge late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the amount per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, (e) condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified in Section 3.3 above, and/or (f) initiate appropriate legal action against Customer for violation of this Section 3.5.

3.6. Suspension of Service. If any charge owing by Customer under this Agreement for Services is 10 days or more overdue, FWS may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend Services until such amounts are paid in full, provided that, other than for customers paying by credit card or direct debit whose payment has been declined, FWS will give Customer at least 10 days' prior notice that its account is overdue, in accordance with Section 11.13 below for billing notices, before suspending services to Customer.

3.7. Reactivation Charges. Any account that has been terminated, suspended or any subscription that has been cancelled under the terms of this Agreement, may be reactivated by the Customer and FWS on mutually agreeable terms upon payment of such charges and fees as may be determined by FWS in its sole discretion.

3.8. Payment Disputes. If Customer disputes the applicable charges in good faith on a reasonable ground, and cooperates diligently to resolve the dispute, FWS will not exercise its rights under Sections 3.4, 3.5, or 3.6 for up to 30 days or such additional period as agreed by FWS in writing.

3.9. Taxes. FWS's fees do not include any Taxes. Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If FWS has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible, FWS will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides FWS with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
