Terms and Billing Information
This Agreement shall automatically renew for successive renewal terms based on BDS’s then-current fees, unless either party provides written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement.
Should you cancel your service and you are receiving regular billings, your charges and service will stop at the end of the current billing period.
Either party may terminate this Agreement upon prior written notice if the other party materially breaches any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. BDS will have the right to suspend your use of or access to the Service in the event BDS determines in its sole discretion that you have breached this Agreement.
If a payment becomes five (5) days or more overdue, BDS reserves the right to suspend your access to the Service without any liability to you, until payment is made in full. If any payment becomes ten (10) days or more overdue, BDS may terminate this Agreement upon notice to you.
The terms provided in Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement. In addition, upon termination you shall promptly pay BDS all outstanding amounts due to BDS under this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated by BDS due to your breach, which you fail to cure after receipt of written notice, or if you terminate this Agreement without cause prior to the end of the then-current term, then all fees unpaid for the remainder of the current term shall become immediately due and payable by you to BDS as liquidated damages, without any further demand by BDS. The parties acknowledge that BDS’s actual damages arising from such termination would be difficult to determine with accuracy and, accordingly, have agreed to the foregoing liquidated damages, which the parties acknowledge is a reasonable estimate of BDS’s potential losses.
