Either party may terminate the Agreement in its entirety (terminating all Order Forms and connected SOWs then in effect) immediately upon written notice, if the other party: (a) becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any proceeding related to its insolvency, receivership, or liquidation in any jurisdiction that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of its commencement; or (b) materially breaches the Agreement and does not cure the breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of the breach from the other party.
9.2 Termination of an SOW. You acknowledge that Professional Services are ordered separately from the Subscription Services. A breach by a party of its obligations with respect to Professional Services shall not by itself constitute a material breach by that party of the Agreement or its obligations with respect to the Subscription Services.

9.3 Suspension of Services. Except with respect to any Fees you have disputed in good faith in a timely manner, if your Fees are more than thirty (30) days past due and not paid within seven (7) days from the receipt of notice of non-payment, we may suspend the Services without any liability to you, and the suspended Services will only be resumed when you pay the full amount of the past due Fees. If you are in material breach of the Agreement, we may suspend the Services, if the breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of the breach is received by you, or immediately if the breach poses an imminent risk of harm to us or other customers, in which case written notice shall be given to you as soon as reasonably possible. Any suspension shall be without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to us (including termination rights). The Subscription Term will remain unchanged notwithstanding any suspension of Services. Timelines applicable to our performance of Professional Services shall be adjusted for any period of inactivity resulting from suspension under this Section 9.3.
9.4 Effect of Early Termination on Fees. If you terminate the Agreement for cause, in part or in whole, any pre-paid fees for the unused portion of the terminated Services will be refunded to you. If we terminate the Agreement for cause, in part or in whole, all Fees and Taxes then due or that would become due during the remainder of the Term for the terminated Services shall become immediately due and payable to us.
9.5 Other Effects of Expiration or Termination. Effective immediately upon expiration or termination of the Agreement or any Services: (a) our obligation to provide and support the Services will immediately cease; (b) you shall cease use of the Services; and (c) neither party will have continuing rights to use any Confidential Information of the other or to exercise any Intellectual Property Rights of the other, save to the extent required to discharge any and all obligations arising under the Agreement.

Customer Data in our systems will in any event be deleted automatically after thirty (30) days of expiration or termination of the Agreement. If we terminate the Agreement due to your failure to pay Fees, we may require payment of all outstanding Fees prior to commencement of any retrieval of Customer Data.
10. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
The parties agree that their respective representatives shall work in good faith to resolve all disputes arising under the Agreement. If the parties cannot settle a dispute within a reasonable timeframe, which should be no more than thirty (30) days after starting the dispute resolution process in this Section 10, they will involve their senior corporate executives. If the parties still cannot resolve the dispute within an additional fifteen (15) days, each party shall have the right to pursue remedies in accordance with Section 12 (Governing Law). Nothing shall preclude either party from seeking equitable relief at any time if a risk of irreparable harm to that party exists and no appropriate remedy for such harm exists at law. While the parties are trying to resolve a dispute, they promise to keep up with their obligations under the Agreement unless doing so would harm the other party. All the discussions and agreements made during the dispute resolution process will be kept confidential, meaning that they will not be shared publicly or used in court proceedings.

The party affected by the Force Majeure Event will promptly inform the other party about it in writing and describe the nature of the event and how long it is expected to last. The party affected should also do its best to limit the impact of the event and keep the other party updated on its progress and when it can start performing its obligations again.

13.9 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. The Agreement may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument and, notwithstanding their date of execution, shall be deemed to be effective as of the Effective Date. Any documents that are signed and/or delivered electronically and accepted are deemed to be “in writing” to the same extent and with the same effect as if the document had been signed in ink.
13.10 Entire Agreement. The Agreement is the entire agreement between you and us and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, understandings, promises, and agreements whether written or oral.

If the parties still cannot resolve the dispute within an additional fifteen (15) days, each party shall have the right to pursue remedies in accordance with Section 13 (Governing Law). Nothing shall preclude either party from seeking equitable relief at any time if a risk of irreparable harm to that party exists and no appropriate remedy for such harm exists at law. While the parties are trying to resolve a dispute, they promise to keep up with their obligations under the Agreement unless doing so would harm the other party. All the discussions and agreements made during the dispute resolution process will be kept confidential, meaning that they will not be shared publicly or used in court proceedings.

If you are in material breach of the Agreement, we may suspend the Services, if the breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of the breach is received by you, or immediately if the breach poses an imminent risk of harm to us or other customers, in which case written notice shall be given to you as soon as reasonably possible. Any suspension shall be without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to us (including termination rights). The Subscription Term will remain unchanged notwithstanding any suspension of Services.

If the parties still cannot resolve the dispute within an additional fifteen (15) days, each party shall have the right to pursue alternative remedies available in accordance with Section 12 (Governing Law). Nothing shall preclude either party from seeking equitable relief at any time if a risk of irreparable harm to that party exists and no appropriate remedy for such harm exists at law.
