3. FREE TRIALS, ORDERS, FEES, PAYMENT, AND FREE CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS
3.1. Free Trials. New Adaven customers are eligible to participate in a free trial. The free trial starts when a Customer creates a Customer Account and ends upon the later of (i) fourteen (14) days from the free trial start date, or (ii) a date agreed upon by Adaven in its sole discretion. During the free trial, certain Service and features may not be available. At any time during the free trial, a Customer may convert its free trial Customer Account into a paid Subscription by clicking the “Subscription” button within the Adaven console. Customer’s continued use of the Service after upgrading to a paid Subscription is subject to its ongoing compliance with this Agreement, and any free trial terms and conditions shall no longer apply. Customer can view the specific details of its Service plan by referencing the "Account Management - Subscription" page, available after logging into the Service. Customer may not receive notice or confirmation from Adaven that the free trial has ended or that the paid Subscription has begun.
3.2. General Terms and Billing. Adaven will bill and Customer agrees to pay Fees at the beginning and upon renewal of its Subscription, plus any applicable Taxes, unless and until Customer timely cancels its Subscription or Adaven terminates it. The Subscription will automatically renew for successive Subscription Terms unless either Party provides written notice of its intent not to renew prior to the expiration of the then-current Subscription Term. Adaven may increase the Fees due under the applicable Order or Order Form for the applicable renewal term (if any) by providing notice to Customer of such increase at least sixty (60) days before the commencement of the upcoming renewal term, provided that the per-unit Fees shall be increased by no more than the greater of (i) the then-current publicly available list price on Adaven’s website or (ii) five percent (5%) of the Fees from the prior Subscription Term, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Adaven will ensure that any fee adjustments comply with applicable Canadian laws and provide transparency to the Customer. Customer must cancel its Subscription before the Subscription renews to avoid incurring the next Subscription Term’s Fees. Fees may include Service-level changes as requested by Customer. Adaven will automatically bill Customer for each renewal period on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of its Subscription. If Customer elects to upgrade its Service level or otherwise add any paid component or feature, Adaven will prorate the amount due based on the number of days remaining in Customer’s billing cycle; provided, however, that any such proration shall be based on Customer’s Service level or paid components or features in existence immediately prior to Customer’s election to upgrade or add paid components or features. If Customer downgrades its Service level, Customer may cause the loss of Customer Data or features for its Customer Account; Customer agrees Adaven shall not be liable for any such losses. Except to the extent required by applicable law (including, without limitation, Australian law), all purchases are final and ADAVEN DOES NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL OR UNUSED SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS, OR WHERE CUSTOMER HAS ELECTED TO DOWNGRADE ITS SERVICE LEVEL OR OTHERWISE REMOVED ANY PAID COMPONENT OR FEATURE, OR FOR ANY FEATURE OR COMPONENT THAT CUSTOMER HAS PAID FOR BUT NOT USED.
3.3. Fee Increase Grace Period. Adaven may, in its sole discretion, offer a grace period during which Customer’s Fees will not increase for a certain period of time. If Customer does not accept the increase or addition to the existing Fees, Customer may elect to terminate its Subscription during the then-current billing period and Customer shall not be liable for such Fee increase after the applicable billing period; however, any later renewal of the Subscription will be subject to the increased Fees. If Customer’s credit or debit card used to pay the Fees reaches its expiration date, Customer’s continued use of the Service constitutes its authorization for Adaven to continue billing Customer, and Customer remains responsible for any uncollected amounts.
3.4. Taxes. In connection with the purchase and/or use of the Service, Customer may be subject to Taxes, by any authority which has jurisdiction to impose such Taxes. Customer agrees that Customer is solely responsible for its obligation and payment of any such Taxes, and Customer agrees, unless otherwise required by applicable law, to indemnify Adaven to the extent that Adaven incurs any obligations or other liabilities in connection with such Taxes. Adaven’s failure to charge appropriate Taxes due to incomplete or incorrect information provided by Customer will not relieve Customer of its obligations under this Section 3.5.
3.5. Payment Fees. If Customer makes any payment via credit card, foreign currency, or wire transfer, all associated credit card fees, currency exchange fees, and outgoing and incoming bank fees (including, without limitation, Customer’s bank fees and Adaven’s bank fees) (collectively with credit card fees and currency exchange fees, “Payment Fees”) shall be Customer’s responsibility and shall be recoverable by Adaven from Customer. Customer may include such Payment Fees at the time of the payment to Adaven. However, if such Payment Fees are not included by Customer at the time of payment to Adaven, then Adaven shall be entitled to full reimbursement of such Payment Fees from Customer within sixty (60) days of any applicable payment initiated by Customer.
4. TERM AND TERMINATION
Adaven may, with or without prior notice, immediately terminate the Customer’s Account, Subscription, Subscription Term, and/or access to the Service. Such termination may be made in Adaven's sole and absolute discretion, with or without cause. Customer agrees that Adaven shall not be liable to Customer or any third party for any termination of its Customer Account, Subscription, Subscription Term, and/or access to the Service.

8.18. Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence; Modifications. The Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties relating to the Service and Customer Data and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements. For any conflict between these terms and any supplementary BAA terms related to PHI, this Agreement shall control. Nothing contained in any other document submitted by Customer shall in any way add to or otherwise modify the Agreement or any Adaven license program terms under which an Order is submitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and an order form prepared solely by Adaven, referencing this Agreement as governing terms, and signed by the Parties (an “Order Form”), such Order Form shall control. Adaven may update or make changes to the terms of this Agreement from time to time for valid reasons, such as adding new functions or features to the Service, technical adjustments, corrections of typographical or other errors, for legal or regulatory reasons or for any other reasons as Adaven deems necessary, at its sole discretion, without notice (but the modified Agreement may be reviewed at https://aim.link/sys-nd/79.html and will be identified by the last updated date). Customer’s continued access to and use of the Service after the changes have been implemented constitutes acceptance of the changes and the then-current terms. When material changes to the terms of the Agreement are made, Adaven will provide Customer with notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by displaying a prominent notice within the Service or by sending Customer an email. Customer’s continued access to and use of the Service after such notice and implementation of the changes will constitute Customer’s acceptance of the changes and the then-current terms. In the event Customer wishes to add on additional features or components to its Subscription that require additional terms of use, Customer agrees that Customer’s Account Owner has the full legal authority to accept and bind Customer to such additional terms of use in connection with enabling such additional features and components via the Service, e.g., from within Customer’s account management portal.
8.19. Miscellaneous Terms. Captions and headings are used herein for convenience only, are not a part of this Agreement, and shall not be used in interpreting or construing this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement that by its nature is reasonably intended to survive beyond its termination or expiration shall survive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 1 (Definitions), 2.2 (Limitations on Use), 2.3 (Inappropriate Content), 2.4 (Violations of Limitations on Use), 2.5 (Proprietary Rights), 3 (Free Trials, Orders, Fees, Payment, and Free Customer Accounts), 5 (Customer Data and Account), 6 (Warranties, Warranty Disclaimer, and Indemnification), 7 (Limitation of Liability), 8.4 (Copyright), 8.5 (Aggregated Anonymous Data), 8.7 (Suspension of Service), 8.9 (Confidential Information), 8.17 (Notices), 8.19 (Miscellaneous Terms), and 8.20 (Choice of Law and Disputes) shall survive any termination of the Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Adaven’s resellers and distributors do not have the right to make modifications to this Agreement or to make any additional representations, commitments, or warranties binding on Adaven, its Affiliates, or its subcontractors. Adaven’s failure to enforce any term of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of the right to enforce any such terms in the future. Unless otherwise specified, remedies are cumulative. This Agreement is agreed to through purchase (including automatic renewals) and/or use of the Service.
8.20. This Agreement and any disputes arising under it shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, or the laws of the jurisdiction where the Customer is located, excluding its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, the Customer agrees to contact Adaven via ZedHuang@aim.link to provide a written description of the dispute and both Parties agree to engage in good faith negotiations to resolve the matter. If the dispute cannot be resolved amicably, the Parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of Canadian courts or alternative dispute resolution as mutually agreed.
