Nothing in these Terms shall require that Vengreso take any action against Customer or any other customer for violating the Acceptable Use Policy, but Vengreso is free to take any such action it sees fit.
  1. Fees and Payment. 
  1. Fees. Customer shall pay Vengreso the fees (the “Fees”) set forth on the Website, or in any applicable Vengreso-provided quotes, SOW, and/or invoices without offset or deduction. Customer shall pay all amounts due upon acceptance of these Terms. All Fees for Renewal Terms (whether paid monthly, or based on an annual commitment) will be automatically charged on the first day of any applicable Renewal Term. Although Vengreso may provide some Customers with discounts on particular Services, unless set forth otherwise in an appliable quote, SOW, and/or invoice, any subsequent annual renewal Fees will not be discounted and will be billed at the full rate. If Customer fails to pay the Fee (whether do to invalid credit card, failure of an ACH payment, or otherwise) all Services will be immediately suspended until paid.  
  2. Subscription Plans. Vengreso currently offers paid-subscription offerings (“Subscription(s)”), on a monthly or annual basis, (each, a “Subscription Plan”) granting access to the Customer to use the Services. Vengreso may, in its sole discretion, add, adjust, or remove all or a portion of its Subscription Plans, or permit the Customer to use the Services on a free basis, subject to these Terms. Customer hereby authorizes Vengreso to charge either the Customer’s credit card or use ACH for the payment of Subscription Fees upon the renewal of an applicable Subscription Plan period (“Recurring Charges”). In case of ACH, payments will be processed using a third-party merchant services provider. Each Subscription Plan includes restrictions and requirements that outline the features of the Services the Customer may access, as well as the applicable Subscription Fees, and termination policies (the “Subscription Terms”). Any violation by the Customer of the Subscription Terms may result in the immediate termination of the Subscription Plan and use of the Services.  Subscription Plans shall automatically renew upon the conclusion of a Subscription period unless the Customer provides Vengreso with appropriate Notice of cancellation. If Vengreso does not receive the Fees from the Customer when due, then Vengreso may consider the Subscription Plan terminated by the Customer for the Customer’s convenience. Vengreso may charge other expenses and/or fees upon Notice to the Customer if and when such additional fees and expenses become applicable. Vengreso may, in its sole discretion change applicable fees for its Subscription Plans from time to time; provided, however, that any such changes to the Fees shall not take effect until the start of the next subscription period for the Customer’s applicable Subscription Plan.
  1. Changes or Cancellation of Subscription Plan.  Customer may switch to a different Subscription Plan at any time. The effective date of the new Subscription Plan will commence on the day immediately following the final day of the preceding subscription period. If the Customer wishes to cancel an existing Subscription Plan in its entirety, the Customer may do so upon providing Vengreso with written Notice of the cancellation or if available shall do so within the Website by logging into the Application. The cancelled Subscription Plan shall terminate as of the final day of the subscription period in effect on the date of Customer’s Notice of cancellation. For clarity, if Customer voluntarily cancels its Subscription prior to the end of a current subscription period, the Customer shall owe the full amount of the current Subscription Plan’s Fees through the completion of the current subscription period. Upon the effective date of a cancelled Subscription, the Customer shall have no further access to the Services, and these Terms shall be deemed terminated as of the effective date of the cancellation.
  2. Taxes.  All Fees and other amounts payable by Customer under these Terms are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder.
  1. Confidential Information.
  1.

Confidential Information shall include all Program content, data, materials, products, technology, computer programs, specifications, manuals, business plans, software, marketing plans, business plans, financial information, and other information disclosed or submitted, orally, in writing, or by any other media, to Customer by Vengreso.

  2. The Customer shall not disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the Customer’s employees who have a need to know the Confidential Information for the Customer to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder.
  3. On the expiration or termination of these Terms, or within 10 days of request of Vengreso, the Customer shall return to the disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been returned or destroyed.
  4. The Customer’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will expire five (5) years from the date last discloses Confidential Information to Customer; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of these Terms for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.
  5. Vengreso agrees not to disclose or communicate, in any manner, either during or after the Term of these Terms, confidential information about Customer, its operations, clientele, or any other aspects of the business of Customer including, but not limited to, the names of its customers, its marketing strategies, operations, or any other information of any kind which would be deemed confidential, a trade secret, a customer list, or other form of proprietary information of Customer.

The remainder of the NPI Data includes metadata about how the Services are used and other non-personal information. Vengreso shall keep and maintain Customer Data in strict confidence, using such degree of care as is appropriate and consistent with its obligations as further described in these Terms and applicable law to avoid unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or loss, and in no event less than a reasonable standard of care.

  5. Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties hereby waive any provision of law that would render any clause of these Terms invalid or otherwise unenforceable in any respect.
