The terms set forth in the Order Form or Registration Process, as applicable, together with the terms of this Agreement, collectively referred to herein as the “Service Terms.”

As of the date Company has completed the Registration Process and clicked the "I Agree" button, as applicable, ("Effective Date"), in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, Company and LivePerson agree as follows:

1. Services. LivePerson will provide to Company the hosted services (“Hosted Services”) and/or professional services (“Professional Services”) as set forth in the Registration Process (Hosted Services and Professional Services collectively referred to this Agreement as the "Services").

2. Fees and Payments. Company agrees to pay the fees set forth in the Order Form or Registration Process, or as otherwise communicated to Company in advance in writing. Your then current fees are detailed in your billing portal (unless otherwise specified in the Registration Process). Invoices are to be paid within 30 days of the invoice date. If Company is paying by credit card, payment for the Services is on a pre-paid basis and Company is charged once every three months (unless otherwise specified in the Registration Process), for the Services and Company is responsible for maintaining accurate and current credit card information. If credit card charges for the Services are denied for any reason, use of the Services will be terminated. A one and a half percent (1.5%) monthly service charge or the highest amount permissible by law if less is payable on all overdue balances that are outstanding more than thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. The service charge is in addition to the overdue balance. LivePerson shall be entitled to any costs of collecting any amount past due hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and collection agency fees. LivePerson reserves the right to increase fees each Renewal Term (as defined below) or modify fees for the Services. All fees are exclusive of, and Company is responsible for, applicable federal, state, or local sales, use, excise or other applicable taxes other than taxes on the net income of LivePerson. Company shall pay or reimburse LivePerson for any such taxes and LivePerson may add any such taxes to invoices submitted to Company by LivePerson.

3. Term. This Agreement will commence upon the Effective Date and continue for the term set forth in the Registration Process (the “Initial Term”) unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 4. If no Initial Term is presented during the Registration Process, the Initial Term shall be deemed to commence on the Effective Date and end on the last day of the third full month thereafter (For example, if the Effective Date is April 10, the end of the Initial Term shall be July 31. But if the Effective Date is April 1, the end of the Initial Term shall be June 30). Following the Initial Term, this Agreement shall renew for consecutive terms of thirty (30) days (each a “Renewal Term”, and each Renewal Term together with the Initial Term, the “Term”)) unless either party provides written notice to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term (or if another notice period is set forth in the Registration Process such other notice period shall apply). Upon request, Company shall acknowledge the commencement of each Renewal Term in writing; provided, that failure to acknowledge shall not affect the existence of the Renewal Term.

4. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other party in the event such other party has committed a material breach of this Agreement that remains uncured thirty (30) days after initial written notice of such breach. Immediately, but in any event within twenty-four (24) hours upon expiration or any termination, Company shall remove all materials, tags and code placed on Company's website as part of the Services.
