(b) Customer will (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the HYCU Service and notify HYCU promptly of any such unauthorized access or use or any other known or suspected breach of security or misuse of the HYCU Service; and (ii) be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment, software, and ancillary services needed to connect to, access or otherwise use the HYCU Service, including as set forth in the Documentation.

With respect to any such Subscription Form, such Affiliate becomes a party to this Agreement and references to Customer in this Agreement are deemed to be references to such Affiliate. Each Subscription Form is a separate obligation of the Customer entity that enters into such Subscription Form, and no other Customer entity has any liability or obligation under such Subscription Form.
3. Fees
3.1 Fees. HYCU offers both free and paid HYCU Services. If Customer chooses to subscribe to a paid HYCU Service, Customer will pay HYCU the fees set forth in the applicable Subscription Form. Unless otherwise set forth in such Subscription Form, Customer shall pay those amounts due and not disputed
in good faith within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt of the applicable invoice (the “Payment Period”); provided that unless a specific date for payment is set forth in such Subscription Form, payment will be due on the date specified. Except as otherwise specified herein or in such Subscription Form, payment obligations are non-cancelable and non-pro-ratable for partial months, and fees paid are non-refundable. If Customer elects to pay via credit card, then Customer is responsible for either (a) enabling auto-recharge on Customer’s payment instrument; or (b) ensuring that Customer’s payment instrument has a sufficient positive balance to cover all fees due. If, for any reason, Customer has a negative balance on its payment account, then HYCU reserves the right to suspend access to the paid version until all fees are paid in full. If Customer disputes an invoice in good faith, it will notify HYCU within the Payment Period and the parties will seek to resolve the dispute as soon as reasonably practicable. HYCU may provide Customer with written notice of a change or increase in pricing for such Subscription Form at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current subscription term, and such modified pricing will become effective thereafter at the time of the renewal. To the extent Customer subscribes to the HYCU Service via a Third Party Marketplace, Customer will comply with the terms and conditions of such Third Party Marketplace in addition to this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the terms and conditions of a Third Party Marketplace with respect to Customer’s payment of fees, the terms and conditions of such Third Party Marketplace with respect to Customer’s payment of fees will control.
3.2 Late Payment. HYCU may suspend access to the HYCU Service immediately upon notice if Customer fails to pay any amounts hereunder at least five (5) days past the applicable due date. If HYCU has not received payment within five (5) days after the applicable due date, interest will accrue on past due amounts at the rate of one percent (1.5%) per month, but in no event greater than the highest rate of interest allowed by law, calculated from the date such amount was due until the date that payment is received by HYCU.
3.3 Taxes. All amounts payable hereunder are exclusive of any sales, use, and other taxes or duties, however designated (collectively “Taxes”). Customer will be solely responsible for payment of all Taxes, except for those taxes based on the income of HYCU. Customer will not withhold any taxes from any amounts due to HYCU.
4. Proprietary Rights

4.2 Feedback. Customer may from time to time provide HYCU suggestions or comments for enhancements or improvements, new features or functionality or other feedback (“Feedback”) with respect to the HYCU Service. HYCU will have full discretion to determine whether or not to proceed with the development of any requested enhancements, new features, or functionality. HYCU will have the full, unencumbered right, without any obligation to compensate or reimburse Customer, to use, incorporate, and otherwise fully exercise and exploit any such Feedback in connection with its products and services. All Feedback is provided “AS IS” and HYCU will not publicly identify Customer as the source of Feedback without Customer’s permission.
4.3 Product Improvement and Aggregated Statistics. Customer further agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein, HYCU has the right to collect, create, retain, and analyze aggregate and/or anonymized data that does not identify any Customer or other identifiable individual from the Customer Data and other information relating to the performance of the HYCU Service (“Aggregated Data”) and shall be free (during and after the term hereof) to use and disclose Aggregated Data to improve HYCU’s products and services or for any lawful business purpose.
5. Confidentiality Restrictions
5.1 Confidentiality. Each party agrees that it will use the Confidential Information of the other party solely in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and it will not disclose the same directly or indirectly, to any third party without the other party’s prior written consent, except as otherwise permitted hereunder. However, either party may disclose Confidential Information (a) to its employees and other representatives who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such information confidential by confidentiality obligations consistent with those of this Agreement; and (b) as required by law (in which case the receiving party will provide the disclosing party with prior written notification thereof, will provide the disclosing party with the opportunity to contest such disclosure, and will use its reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law). Each party agrees to exercise due care in protecting the Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure. In the event of actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 5, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without waiving any other rights or remedies available to it.

HYCU will use reasonable efforts to correct a verified breach of the Performance Warranty reported by Customer. If HYCU fails to do so within 30 days after Customer's report, then either party may terminate the applicable Subscription Form as it relates to the non-conforming HYCU Service, in which case HYCU will refund to Customer any prepaid subscription fees for the terminated portion of the applicable subscription term (for the Performance Warranty). To receive these remedies, Customer must report a breach of the Performance Warranty in
reasonable detail within 30 days after discovering the issue in the HYCU Service. These procedures are Customer’s exclusive remedies and HYCU’s sole liability for breach of the Performance Warranty. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 6.2 will not apply to the Free Services (as defined below).

Failure or delay by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.
10.5 Relationship. Nothing contained herein will in any way constitute any association, partnership, agency, employment, or joint venture between the parties hereto, or be construed to evidence the intention of the parties to establish any such relationship.
