All payments shall be received by us within thirty (30) days after the mailing date of the invoice.

TERM AND TERMINATION

The term of the Software Services shall be as set forth in the applicable Sales Order and shall continue while any subscriptions are in effect, subject to earlier termination in accordance with this section (as extended by any renewal, the “Software Services Term”). Support Services are included in subscription-based Software Services. The term for which we will provide Support Services for any non-subscription based Software Services shall be as specified in the Sales Order, subject to earlier termination in accordance with this section (as extended by any renewal, the “Support Services Term”). The term for which we will provide Hosting Services shall be as specified in the Sales Order, unless terminated sooner in accordance with this section (as extended by any renewal, “Hosting Services Term”).

Either party may terminate this Agreement (a) upon thirty (30) days’ (or, with respect to your failure to pay any Fees, five (5) days') prior written notice if the other party materially breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement and such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period; or (b) immediately if the other party (i) becomes insolvent or is generally unable to pay, or fails to pay, its debts as they become due; (ii) files or has filed against it a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law (which proceeding, if involuntary, is not dismissed within thirty (30) days); (iii) makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (iv) applies for or has appointed a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar agent appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take change of or sell any material portion of its property or business. Upon your written request made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, we will make your data available for export or download in the commercially reasonable manner specified by us; provided, however, that after such thirty (30) day period, we will have no obligation to maintain or provide any of your data, and we will thereafter, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the applicable Sales Order, delete or destroy all copies of your data in our systems or otherwise in our possession or control, except for data (w) contained in an archived computer system back-up in accordance with security and/or disaster recovery procedures and applicable law; (x) to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, contained in latent data, including deleted files and other non-logical data types such as memory dumps, swap files, temporary files, printer spool files and metadata that are not generally retrievable or accessible without the use of specialized tools and techniques; (y) to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, included in materials prepared for regulatory compliance, archival or record retention purposes; or (z) for which destruction is legally prohibited. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be read to imply any obligation of us to maintain data in compliance with your recordkeeping obligations under applicable law.

In the event of any expiration or termination of the Software Services Term or the Support Services Term (for any non-subscription Software Services), effective as of such expiration or termination: (a) you shall immediately cease Use of any EGT Materials and return or destroy (and certify such destruction of) all EGT Confidential Information and any installed Software, if applicable, including removal of such installed Software from all computerized data storage devices or components (including any hard-drive or database); (b) all Authorized User access to the Software Services, including any portal, reporting or other functionality, will be disabled; and (c) our obligations set forth under SUPPORT SERVICES shall immediately cease to apply and you shall no longer be able to make, receive or access releases, additions or updates to any non-subscription Software Services. In the event of any expiration or termination of the Hosting Services Term, as applicable, effective as of such expiration or termination, (a) our license to host shall terminate and our obligations with respect to Hosting Services shall immediately cease and (b) we shall make a single object code version of any installed Software, as applicable, available to you at all times during the Software Services Term (with releases, additions or updates provided at all times during the Support Services Term). All sections of these Service Terms which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including provisions regarding accrued rights to payment, appropriation of funds for Fees, ownership, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

All Fees are non-cancellable and all amounts paid are non-refundable; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by you in accordance with the second paragraph of TERM AND TERMINATION, we will refund to you any prepaid Fees under the Sales Order on a pro-rated basis covering the remainder of the Sales Order after the effective date of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by us in accordance with the second paragraph of TERM AND TERMINATION, you will pay to us any unpaid Fees covering the remainder of all Sales Orders. In the event of any expiration or termination of the Support Services Term (other than by you in accordance with the second paragraph of TERM AND TERMINATION) or you otherwise allow the Support Services Term to lapse, we may require you to make payments for all lapsed periods as a condition of resuming Support Services. In no event will termination or expiration relieve you of your obligation to pay any Fees payable to us for periods prior to the effective date of termination or expiration. Any services provided by or on behalf of us in connection with the expiration or termination of this Agreement that are not included in the Software Services or Support Services or Hosting Services, as applicable, including the export or download of your data (or any services provided in connection therewith), shall be pursuant to a Sales Order at then-current rates for such Services.
