With prior written notice, accounts may be suspended in BayIQ’s sole discretion for non-payment without any delinquency notice if Customer has previously had an account suspended for non-payment.

Either party may immediately terminate this Agreement and all Order Forms and Statements of Work issued hereunder in the event the other party commits a material breach of any provision of this Agreement which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days (“Cure Period”) of the receipt of written notice from the non-breaching party. BayIQ may immediately terminate this Agreement and all Order Forms hereunder if Customer commits a material breach of any provision of this Agreement that BayIQ decides in its sole discretion would create a material and ongoing harm to BayIQ or others if such Cure Period was granted. Such notice by the complaining party shall expressly state all of the reasons for the claimed breach in sufficient detail so as to provide the alleged breaching party a meaningful opportunity to cure such alleged breach, if applicable, and shall be sent in compliance with the Notice provision set forth below.

BayIQ will automatically renew and bill Customer’s credit card or issue an invoice to Customer every month for all Fees, unless otherwise mutually agreed. BayIQ’s failure to invoice Customer on a timely basis does not relieve Customer of responsibility to pay the Fees. Customer expressly agrees that BayIQ is authorized to charge Customer (a) a recurring monthly fee for any applicable Services billed on a monthly basis automatically, (b) any other Fees for the Services Customer may purchase, and (c) any applicable taxes in connection with Customer’s use of the Services to the Bank Card (defined below); (d) to reimburse BayIQ for all collection costs and interest for any overdue amounts. If Customer’s Bank Card declines or BayIQ cannot collect the fees for any reason, Customer will have thirty (30) days to make the payment of all overdue Fees. If such overdue Fees are not paid within such 30 days, such overdue Fees will accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month and BayIQ will suspend all Services until all overdue Fees and any applicable interest are paid in full.

12.4.       Bank Card Authorization

By providing credit/debit card information (“Bank Card”) to BayIQ, Customer authorizes BayIQ to automatically charge the designated Bank Card for the Fees as set forth herein and as selected in the Order Form without any further authorization. Customer acknowledges that the foregoing registration will remain in effect until the termination of this Agreement or until Customer provides notice of automatic payment cancellation fifteen (15) days prior to the next billing cycle.

12.5.       Invoice Disputes

If Customer thinks that there is an error on its account, including an incorrect amount or unauthorized transaction, Customer may contact BayIQ at: accounting@bayiq.com or BayIQ Inc, 7135 East Camelback Road, Suite 360, Scottsdale, AZ 85251, or at (480) 752-0310 prior to the next billing cycle. In the event an error has occurred on Customer’s account, BayIQ will issue a credit to Customer’s account in the amount of the error.

12.6.       Taxes

All Fees and other any other fees charged hereunder are exclusive of all taxes or duties imposed by governing authorities, including without limitation sales, use, excise, gross receipts and other taxes and fees (“Taxes”). Customer agrees to be responsible for payment of such Taxes arising from the use of the Services or payment of any Fees hereunder. If BayIQ has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which it is responsible under this Section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced and paid by Customer unless it provides BayIQ with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

14.7.       Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect their original intent as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
