    2. All ongoing Service(s) are invoiced in advance and due on the first day of the Payment Period.

    6. If the Customer does not pay an invoice in full within the time period specified in this Agreement, without prejudice to any other remedy available to it, the Service Provider may (at its sole discretion): i) charge interest on outstanding amounts at a rate of 4% per month and ii) suspend the Customer’s use of any Service(s) provided by the Service Provider.

Unless instructed otherwise, payments will be allocated chronologically to outstanding invoices.
    7. During the Term the Service Provider may increase the Fees on an annual basis with effect from each anniversary of the Commencement Date.

  5. Service Level Agreement
    1. Subject to the exceptions contained in Schedule 2 Clauses 2, 4 and Schedule 1 Clause 10, the Service Provider shall provide at least a 99.9% uptime service availability level (“Uptime Service Level”). Downtime in this context refers to an unplanned Critical Defect or a Maintenance Event that was not notified to the Customer in accordance Schedule 2, Clause 4.
    2. The availability measurement is based on the monthly average percentage availability, calculated at the end of each calendar month as the total actual uptime minutes divided by total possible uptime minutes in the month. The Service Provider shall keep and shall send to the Customer, on request, full records of its availability measurement activities under this Agreement.
    3. If availability falls below the Uptime Service Level in a given calendar month (“Service Delivery Failure”), the Service Provider shall credit the Customer's account by an amount calculated as the product of the total cumulative downtime (expressed as a percentage of the total possible uptime minutes in the month concerned) and the total Fee for that month (“Service Credit”).
    4. The maximum Service Credit allowable in a given month is limited to an amount equal to 50% of the total Fee for that month.
    5. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Service Credits constitute a genuine pre-estimate of the loss or damage that the Customer would suffer as a result of the Service Provider’s Service Delivery Failure and are not intended to operate as a penalty for the Service Provider’s non-performance. The Customer further acknowledges and agrees that payment of Service Credits constitutes the Customer’s exclusive remedy in respect of the Service Provider’s Service Delivery Failure.
    6. Sums paid as Service Credits to the Customer shall count towards the Service Provider’s cap on its liability in Schedule 1, Clause 7.4.2.
  6. Software Licences & Application Terms of Use

    2.

      3. store, distribute or transmit any material through the Service that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, infringing, harassing or racially or ethnically offensive; facilitates illegal activity; depicts sexually explicit images; or promotes unlawful violence, discrimination based on race, gender, colour, religious belief, sexual orientation, disability, or any other illegal activities;

    6. The Service Provider shall monitor the Customer’s, User(s)’ and Non-Customer User(s)’ use of the Application from time to time to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
  7. Custom Development
    1. Customer may request the Service Provider to develop additional functionality, modifications, enhancements, integrations or other such developments to the application (“Custom Development”).

Once completed, an annual maintenance fee of 20% of the Development Fee will be charged for maintenance (“Maintenance Fee”).
    3. Custom Development work will be completed based on availability of Service Provider’s resource at the time of request.

For the avoidance of doubt, all intellectual property created as part of Custom Development is property of the Service Provider, and the Service Provider provides a non-exclusive licence to the Customer for the Term of the Agreement, provided all Development and Maintenance Fees are paid.
