4. Billing, Fees and Payment Terms

4.1 Payment Obligation: The Customer is committed to fulfilling all payment obligations for fees associated with the Subscription Service, as detailed in the Subscription Agreement. These fees are payable in advance, underscoring the Customer’s responsibility to ensure timely payment as part of their agreement with Holistics.

4.2 Non-Refundable Fees: Fees for the Subscription Service, as outlined in the Subscription Agreement, are non-refundable and non-cancelable, except where specifically stated in this Agreement. This clause affirms the binding nature of the payment commitment by the Customer for the agreed Subscription Term.

4.3 Obligation to Maintain Current Billing Information: Customers are required to keep their billing information up to date and accurate, including their credit card information for the payment of fees. This responsibility extends to all information necessary for the processing of payments, such as legal company name, address (especially state and country), and the primary contact.

4.4 Credit Card Information Security: Holistics does not store credit card details on our servers, ensuring customer payment information is secure. Billing is conducted through reputable third-party billing agents employing industry-standard security measures.

4.5 Secure Transaction Processing: Customers authorize Holistics to charge their credit card for all subscription fees during the Subscription Term. This process is securely managed through trusted third-party processors, with whom customers agree to share their payment information.

4.6 Standard Payment Terms: Payments are billed in advance via credit card and are due immediately upon billing. In the event of a failed credit card payment, Holistics reserves the right to retry billing the customer's credit card. This includes instances where the credit card has expired or is no longer valid. Holistics may automatically resume billing upon the customer updating their credit card information.

4.7 Custom Payment Terms: For eligible customers on annual billing plans that exceed a minimum subscription amount, Holistics offers custom payment terms including the option to pay via bank transfer. A deposit may be required, and administrative fees apply if conditions are not met.

4.8 Responsibility for Bank Transfer Fees: Customers opting for bank transfer payments must ensure that the net amount received by Holistics equals the invoiced amount, accounting for any fees charged by their bank for the international transfer. Holistics will cover any fees charged by its bank for receiving the funds.

4.9 Customer Tax Responsibility: All Subscription fees quoted or charged by Holistics are exclusive of government-imposed sales taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes. Customers are responsible for paying all such taxes associated with their purchases under this agreement. If Holistics has the legal obligation to pay or collect any of these taxes for which the Customer is responsible, Holistics will invoice these to the Customer, and the Customer will pay that amount unless they provide Holistics with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, Holistics is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property, and employees.

4.10 Renewal Fee Adjustments. Upon renewal, Holistics reserves the right to adjust the Subscription Fees payable by the Customer up to the then-current list price as detailed on the public pricing page of our Individual Products. Holistics will provide the Customer with a notice of any such fee adjustments at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Customer's then-current Subscription Term. These adjusted fees shall be effective commencing from the first day of the subsequent renewal term.

4.11 Overdue Charges: Late payments are subject to a monthly penalty of 1.5% of the overdue amount, calculated using the prevailing exchange rate from the date of default.

4.12 Suspension for Non-Payment: If the Customer's payment is overdue, Holistics will issue up to three reminders to the billing contact(s) specified in the applicable Individual Product Terms. These reminders may consist of notifications for pending bank transfer payments or failed payment retry attempts for other automated payment methods (credit card payments) as detailed in Section 4.6. If the overdue payment is not resolved following these reminders, Holistics reserves the right to suspend access to the Subscription Services. The specific timeline for initiating suspension due to non-payment, and the process for lifting such suspensions, is detailed in the Individual Product Terms in Section 6 and Section 7 of this TOS.

4.13 Payment Disputes: Holistics will not exercise its rights under the “Overdue Charges” or “Suspension for Non-Payment” of this section if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.

Unless otherwise agreed in the said Subscription Agreement, the subscription shall automatically renew for the same term length or one year, whichever is shorter.

5.2 Non-Renewal. To prevent automatic renewal, the Customer must either cancel the subscription via the in-app billing page on their Holistics Individual Product’s application anytime before the renewal deadline or email a written notice of their intention not to renew at least three working days before the current subscription term ends. Detailed instructions for submitting a non-renewal notice or for early termination are available in the Individual Product Terms and the Holistics online documentation. It is the responsibility of the Customer to follow these procedures to ensure proper processing of their request

5.3 Early Termination by Customer. The Customer may terminate the subscription prior to the end of the term by providing thirty (30) days written notice. Upon such early termination, Holistics will not refund any prepaid fees or unused subscription fees. However, the Customer retains the right to continue using the Subscription Services until the end of the originally agreed term. The Customer remains obligated to settle any outstanding fees for the remaining subscription term.

5.4 Termination for Cause: This clause applies to any or all Subscription Services of the Individual Products under this TOS (including all related Subscription Agreements). Either party may terminate this Agreement for cause under the following conditions:

• 5.5.1 Material Breach: Upon thirty (30) days' notice to the other party of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period.
• 5.5.2 Insolvency and Bankruptcy: Immediately, if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any proceeding relating to insolvency, cessation of business, liquidation, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if any such proceeding is instituted against such party (and not dismissed within sixty (60) days).

• 5.6.2 Non-Payment: For conditions leading to suspension due to non-payment, refer to the specific terms set out in Section 4.12. Suspension for non-payment will not apply if the Customer is disputing the overdue charges reasonably and in good faith. Upon resolution of the conditions leading to the suspension, Holistics will promptly restore the Customer's access to the services.

5.7 Termination Beyond Suspension: The right to suspend service does not limit Holistics' right to terminate the Agreement for cause as outlined in this section, particularly if the Customer's actions have, or may negatively reflect on or affect Holistics, its prospects, or its customers.

5.8 Support Conduct Policy: In the event of customer misuse or abuse of support services, or disrespectful conduct towards Holistics staff, Holistics reserves the right to limit or suspend support services to the offending customer. This policy is essential to maintaining a respectful and effective support environment and ensures that our support resources are used appropriately.

5.9 Non-Exclusivity of Termination Remedies: Termination is not an exclusive remedy, and the exercise by either party of any remedy under this TOS will be without prejudice to any other remedies it may have under this TOS, by law, or otherwise.
