14. Paying Users.
Certain users of the Restricted Areas (referred to herein as “Paying Users”) will be charged for certain SagoTec Services, as fully set forth in the relevant portions of the Web Site. The provisions of this Paragraph 14 shall apply solely to those Paying Users.

SagoTec grants you a non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use, for personal and internal business purposes only, the web-accessible GUI interface version of the Services. We reserve the right to terminate this license grant and/or discontinue Services at any time for any reason, including for non-payment of the Services.

Fees shall be paid by credit card.

In certain limited circumstances, SagoTec may approve of alternate forms of payment in its sole discretion. Any approved payment in a form other than credit card must be received by SagoTec within ten (10) days of receipt of applicable invoice.

Unless another form of payment has been approved by SagoTec, you must provide us with valid credit card information, and must promptly update the Account Information page with any changes in credit card validity or expiration date. We may work with you and our credit card processing vendors to keep your credit card information up to date. SagoTec will keep your credit card information confidential. If payment cannot be charged to the credit card you have on file with us, SagoTec reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Services.

In the event of non-payment for any reason, SagoTec may assess and collect interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (18% per annum) on any amounts owing and unpaid ten (10) days after demand. If further collection attempts are required, all of SagoTec’s collection costs, including any costs associated with termination of this Agreement including but not limited to, attorney fees, where permitted by law, will be charged to you. This section shall, to the extent applicable, survive the termination of this Terms of Use.

You acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any breach of these Terms of Use by you, SagoTec would be irreparably and immediately harmed and could not be made whole by monetary damages alone. Without prejudice to any rights and remedies otherwise available, SagoTec shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunction in the event of a breach of any provision of these Terms of Use.

If any provision of this agreement is unlawful, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the agreement will remain in place. This is the entire agreement between you and SagoTec regarding all aspects of your use of this Web Site.

The provisions of these Terms of Use that, by their nature and content, must survive the completion, rescission, termination or expiration of these Terms of Use in order to achieve the fundamental purposes of these Terms of Use (including but not limited to the provisions entitled “Proprietary Rights,” “Material You Submit,” “Disclaimer,” “Limitation of Liability,” “Indemnification,” “Jurisdiction,” and “Termination” and “Paying Users”) shall so survive and continue to bind the parties.
