Unless otherwise specified on the applicable Order Form or SOW, each Subscription Term will automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless either party gives the other written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the then-current Subscription Term.
6.2. Fees and Payment
All fees are as set forth in the applicable Order Form or SOW and will be paid by Customer within thirty (30) days of invoice, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Approved Proposal, Order Form or SOW.

Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes, and all Taxes are excluded from any fees set forth in the applicable Order Form or SOW. If Customer is required by Law to withhold any Taxes from Customer’s payment, the fees payable by Customer will be increased as necessary so that after making any required withholdings, Lumiplan receive and retain (free from any liability for payment of Taxes) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such withholdings been made. Any late payments will be subject to a service charge equal to 1.5% per month of the amount due or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less.
6.3. Suspension of Service
If Customer’s account is thirty (30) days or more overdue, in addition to any of its other rights or remedies (including but not limited to any termination rights set forth herein), Lumiplan reserve the right to suspend Customer’s access to the applicable Service (and any related services) without liability to Customer until such amounts are paid in full.

The limited warranty set forth in this Section 8.1 will not apply: (i) unless Customer makes a claim within thirty (30) days of the date on which Customer first noticed the non-conformity, (ii) if the error was caused by misuse, unauthorized modifications or third-party hardware, software or services, or (iii) to use provided on a no-charge, trial or evaluation basis.
8.2. Warranty Disclaimer
EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY IN SECTION 8.1, ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”.

LUMIPLAN SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE RESULTS OF ANY COMMUNICATIONS SENT OR ANY COMMUNICATIONS THAT WERE FAILED TO BE SENT USING THE SERVICES.

CUSTOMER MAY HAVE OTHER STATUTORY RIGHTS, BUT THE DURATION OF STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE SHORTEST PERIOD PERMITTED BY LAW.
9. Confidential Information
9.1 Confidentiality Obligations
Confidential information shall be held in confidence by the receiving party and, except with the disclosing party’s prior written consent, will only be disclosed to the receiving party’s employees, contractors or representatives who have a need to know such information for the purpose of performing or receiving benefits under the Agreement (“Purpose”) and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality at least as protective as those herein.
9.2 Restrictions on Use of Confidential Information
The receiving party shall: (a) use the disclosing party’s confidential information solely for the Purpose; (b) take all reasonable and necessary steps to ensure that its employees, contractors or representatives comply with the receiving party’s confidentiality obligations; and (c) only disclose the disclosing party’s confidential information in response to a valid court order or other legal process only to the extent required by that order or process and only after the receiving party has given the disclosing party prompt written notice, if permitted, and the opportunity to seek a protective order or confidential treatment of such confidential information (with the reasonable assistance of the receiving party, if the disclosing party so requests). The foregoing confidentiality obligations shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years thereafter, unless such confidential information constitutes a trade secret, and in such event, these obligations shall continue for so long as such confidential information constitutes a trade secret. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may copy, retain and use Lumiplan confidential information on an ongoing basis as reasonably necessary for its ongoing use of any Services.
9.3 Exceptions
The foregoing obligations apply to all confidential information, unless and until such time as the receiving party can demonstrate with competent evidence that such confidential information: (a) is or became generally available to the public, through no fault of the receiving party and without breach of this Agreement; (b) is or was already in receiving party’s possession without restriction prior to any disclosure by the disclosing party; (c) is or has been lawfully disclosed to the receiving party by a third party without an obligation of confidentiality; or (d) was developed independently by the receiving party without access to, use of or reference to the disclosing party’s confidential information.
10. Indemnification
Lumiplan shall hold Customer harmless from liability to third parties resulting from infringement by the Service Software of any United States patent, or any copyright, provided Lumiplan is promptly notified of any and all threats, claims and proceedings related thereto, Customer provides reasonable assistance to Lumiplan in defending any such claims, and Customer provides Lumiplan with sole control over defense and settlement. Lumiplan will not be responsible for any settlement it does not approve in writing. The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to portions or components of the Service Software (i) not supplied by Lumiplan, (ii) made in whole or in part in accordance with Customer specifications, (iii) that are modified after delivery without Lumiplan’s authorization, (iv) combined with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such combination, (v) where Customer continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, (vi) where Customer failed to upgrade the Service Software as specified by Lumiplan, and such upgrade would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vii) where Customer’s use of the Service Software is not strictly in accordance with this Agreement. If, due to a claim of infringement, the Service Software is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be or are believed by Lumiplan to be infringing, Lumiplan may, at its option and expense and as Customer’s sole remedy (a) replace or modify the Service Software 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 Software, 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 Software. Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lumiplan and its officers, employees, contractors, agents, and advisors against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, charges or expenses raised against or incurred by Lumiplan as a result of a third-party claim arising out of: (a) Customer’s breach of any representation or warranty under this Agreement; or (b) Customer’s breach of this Agreement
11. Limitation of Liability
