3. Fees, Duration and Payment
3.1 Fees. Payday’s current fee schedule is set forth on the applicable Order Form signed by the Client. Payday reserves the right to change fees as provided in the Client Services Agreement.
3.2 Duration of User Subscriptions. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Order Form: (a) all initial User subscriptions will begin and continue for the initial Subscription Period set forth in the applicable Order Form or in the Client Services Agreement (the “Initial Subscription Period”); (b) any additional User subscriptions added after the beginning of a Subscription Period, but before commencement of the next Subscription Period, will continue for the duration of that Subscription Period; (c) after the end of the Initial Subscription Period, all current User subscriptions will automatically renew for additional Subscription Period(s) of one fee payment cycle (as specified in the Order Form) at the Payday list price in effect at the date of renewal and subject to the then current version of this Master Subscription Agreement on the date of renewal, unless either party gives the other party notice of non-renewal at least one fee payment cycle prior to the end of the relevant Subscription Period. By way of example, if subscription fee is “per-pay-period”, then the fee payment cycle is one pay period (e.g. weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, etc.); and if the subscription fee is “per month”, then the fee payment cycle is one month.

Subscription fees, whether expressed in the Order Form as Per Employee per Month or otherwise, will be invoiced on the same frequency as the payroll applicable to the covered employees and will be added to the amounts invoiced for payroll services. Fees for services other than payroll will be invoiced on the frequency indicated in the Order Form and may be added to an invoice for payroll services or billed separately. In either case, however, payment of the invoice will be made by direct debit to the Client’s bank account at the time of presentation of the invoice.
3.4 Termination for Non-payment. In the event that funds are unavailable from Client’s account upon presentation of an invoice, and Client fails to make sufficient funds available within 24 hours of notice given by Payday of the insufficiency, in addition to any of its other rights or remedies, Payday reserves the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and Client’s access to the Services and to void the Order Form.
3.5 Late Payments. Any late payments will be subject to the fees and interest specified in the Client Services Agreement.

The fees and expenses payable by Client are net amounts payable per the Order Form or hereunder, exclusive of all sales, use, withholding, excise, value added, and ad valorem taxes incurred by Client or imposed on Payday in the performance of this Agreement or otherwise due as a result of this Agreement or the Client Services Agreement. Client will pay any and all such taxes and duties, customs fees and similar charges, whether directly to the appropriate taxing authority or by reimbursing Payday for payments it makes on Client’s behalf. The foregoing does not apply to taxes based solely on Payday’s income or its license to do business in any state or locality.
3.7 Billing and Contact Information. Client is responsible for providing Payday with complete, current and accurate billing and contact information at all times. Failure to notify Payday of a change in billing or contact information will not excuse Client from any obligations or requirements for timely payment of amounts due to Payday.

Client represents that it holds all intellectual or proprietary rights necessary to grant to Payday and /or its licensors such license, and that the Feedback will not violate the personal, proprietary or Intellectual Property rights of any third party.

5. Confidentiality and Security
5.1 Confidential Information. Each Party hereby agrees that it is bound by and will comply with the Confidentiality provisions of the Client Services Agreement. Client acknowledges that the Documentation and all information relating to the functionality, programming and structure of any programming included in the Services constitute Payday’s Confidential Information, which are also the valuable trade secrets of Payday. Payday acknowledges that the Client Data constitutes Confidential Information of the Client, which is also part of the valuable trade secrets of Company.
5.2 Security. Payday uses commercially reasonable practices, including encryption and firewalls, to ensure that Client Data is disclosed only to Client and Client’s authorized Users. However, Client acknowledges that the Internet is an open system and Payday cannot and does not warrant or guarantee that third parties cannot or will not intercept or modify Client Data. Payday is not responsible for Client’s access to the Internet, for any interception or interruption of any communications through the Internet, or for changes to or losses of data through the Internet. Client acknowledges that Payday does not review the accuracy of completeness of any information submitted by Client or its Users through the Site.

Client is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of User passwords, and Client agrees that Payday has no liability with regard to the use of such passwords by third parties. Client agrees to notify Payday as soon as possible if Client has any reason to believe that the security of Client’s account or any User passwords has been compromised. Client acknowledges, however, that Payday is not liable for the consequences of any such compromise and may not be able to respond to notice of compromise if notice is given at any time other than on a Business Day.
5.6 Client Data. Without limiting the above, Payday will maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Client Data. Payday will not (a) modify Client Data, (b) disclose Client Data except as compelled by law in accordance with Section 5.2 or as expressly permitted in writing by Client, or (c) access Client Data except to provide the Services or prevent or address service or technical problems, or at Client’s request in connection with support matters. The foregoing limitations on disclosure of Client data notwithstanding, Payday may assume Client’s consent to disclose Client data to third parties when such disclosure is necessary to the provision of the Services, such as uploading data to insurers, third party administrators, brokers, accountants and others. Similarly, Payday is not responsible for any unauthorized access to data by parties to whom Client has granted access to the Services, whether or not Client has subsequently withdrawn permission for such parties to access the data.

Payday does not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the System. Normal software or hardware maintenance and upgrades are scheduled for nights and weekends and are designed to cause a minimum amount of interruption to Services and System availability. Client will be notified of scheduled interruptions in advance. In the event that an unscheduled interruption occurs, Payday will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the problem and return the System to availability as soon as practicable. During scheduled and unscheduled interruptions, Client may be unable to transmit and receive data through the System. In the event that assistance from Client is needed to restore the System to working order, Client agrees to not unreasonably refuse such assistance.

6.2 Suspension of Services. From time to time, it may become necessary for Payday to suspend or modify provision of the Services and/or to suspend or limit Client’s access to the System for administrative or other purposes.
