5.5 Infringement. If the delivery of the Services infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party and Sinch Email determines that it is not reasonably or commercially practicable to obtain the right to use the infringing element, or modify the Services or Deliverable such that they do not infringe, then Sinch Email may terminate the Service Order on ninety days’ notice and will not have any liability on account of such termination except to refund amounts paid for unused Services (prorated as to portions of Deliverables deemed infringing).
6. FEES
6.1 Fees. You agree to pay the fees for the Services based on the rates and charges set forth in your Control Panel or Service Order, as applicable. Fees are due within thirty (30) days from the invoice date. If you have arranged for payment by credit card, Sinch Email may charge your card or account on or after the invoice date. If your undisputed payment is overdue for more than thirty (30) days, Sinch Email may suspend the Services and any other services you receive from Sinch Email on written notice. Sinch Email shall undertake collection efforts prior to any suspension. Invoices that are not disputed within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the invoice date are conclusively deemed accurate. Fees must be paid in the currency identified in your Control Panel or Service Order, as applicable. You are solely responsible for all wire transfer and other bank fees associated with the delivery of payments to Sinch Email. Sinch Email may charge interest on overdue amounts at the greater of 1.5% per month or the maximum legal rate, and may charge you for any cost or expense arising out of our collection efforts. To the extent Customer does not pay in full its outstanding invoices within thirty (30) days after an invoice is due in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the applicable Service Order, Sinch Email reserves the right to offset any such amounts due against any amounts due by any Sinch group company.
6.2 Fee Increases. Sinch Email may revise the pricing terms that apply to your use of the Services at any time by providing you with notice pursuant to Section 11 of these Terms of Service. With respect to Customers that are not party to a then-effective Service Order (i.e. self-service Customers), such rate changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of an update to your Control Panel. With respect to Customers that are party to a then-effective Service Order (i.e. contract Customers), Sinch Email reserves the right to increase rates or charges for the Services, provided, however, that any such revised rates or charges assessed to you for Services under such Service Order will not become effective until the commencement of the next renewal term of such Service Order (and the Service Order will be deemed amended to reflect such increased rates or charges). If at any time a third party license or service provider directly or indirectly increases the fee they charge Sinch Email for your use of Third Party Software or services, Sinch Email may increase your fees by the same percentage amount on thirty(30) days’ advance written notice (for either self-service or contract Customers). Self-service customers may be able to upgrade or downgrade Customer’s plan through Customer’s online account on Sinch Email’s website at any time; provided, however, that upgrade to the Customer’s plan will take effect immediately, while downgrades will take effect at the end of the then-current term.
6.3 Taxes. All amounts due to Sinch Email under the Agreement are exclusive of any value added, goods and services, sales, use, and like taxes, (collectively, “Tax"). You must pay Sinch Email the Tax that is due or provide Sinch Email with satisfactory evidence of your exemption from the Tax in advance of invoicing. You must provide Sinch Email with accurate and adequate documentation sufficient to permit Sinch Email to determine if any Tax is due. All payments to Sinch Email shall be made without any withholding or deduction for any taxes except for withholding (or similar) taxes imposed on income that may be attributable to Sinch Email in connection with its provision of the Services that you are legally required to withhold and remit to the applicable governmental or taxing authority (“Local Withholding Taxes"). You agree to timely provide Sinch Email with accurate factual information and documentation of your payment of any such Local Withholding Taxes. Sinch Email shall remit such cost to you in the form of a credit on your outstanding account balance following receipt of sufficient evidence of payment of any such Local Withholding Taxes.
6.4 Reimbursement for Expenses. Unless otherwise agreed in the Service Order or otherwise provided for in the Control Panel, if any of the Services are performed at your premises, you agree to reimburse Sinch Email for the actual substantiated out-of-pocket expenses of its Representatives.

Unless otherwise expressly stated in the applicable Service Order, the term for self-service customers has an initial one month term and will automatically renew at the end of the billing period unless either party provides the other with written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current term.
Unless otherwise expressly stated in the applicable Service Order, the term for contract customers will be as set forth in the applicable Service Order and will automatically renew upon the expiration of the applicable term unless either party provides the other with written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.

7.2.2 Either party may terminate the Agreement and the Service Order(s) on written notice if the other enters into compulsory or voluntary liquidation, or ceases for any reason to carry on business, or takes or suffers any similar action which the other party reasonably believes means that it may be unable to pay its debts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the fees for the Services shall become due immediately on such an occurrence.
8. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
8.1 Generally. Each party agrees not to use the other’s Confidential Information except in connection with the performance or use of the Services, the exercise of its legal rights under the Agreement, or as required by law, and will use reasonable care to protect Confidential Information from unauthorized disclosure.

Neither party (nor any of our Affiliates or Representatives) is liable to the other for any indirect, special, incidental, exemplary or consequential loss or damages of any kind.

Credits that would be available but for this limitation will not be carried forward to future months. You are not entitled to a credit if you are in breach of the Agreement (including violation of the AUP) at the time of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the credit until you have remedied the breach. No credit will be due if the credit would not have accrued but for your action or omission, nor for downtime or outages resulting from denial of service attacks, virus activity, hacking attempts, or any other circumstances that are not within our control.
9.4 Failure of Essential Purpose. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 9 SHALL APPLY EVEN IF THE AGREEMENT OR ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
10. INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 If Sinch Email, its Affiliates, or any of its or their Representatives (the “Indemnitees") is faced with a legal claim by a third party arising out of your actual or alleged: willful misconduct, breach of applicable law, failure to meet the security obligations required by the Agreement, breach of your agreement with your customers or end users, violation of the AUP, or your breach of Section 5 (Intellectual Property) then you will pay the cost of defending the claim (including reasonable legal fees) and any damages award, fine or other penalty that is imposed on the Indemnitees as a result of the claim. Your obligations under this Section include claims arising out of the acts or omissions of your employees or agents, any other person to whom you have given access to the Customer Configuration, and any person who gains access to the Customer Configuration as a result of your failure to use reasonable security precautions, even if the acts or omissions of such persons were not authorized by you.
10.2 Sinch Email will choose legal counsel to defend the claim, provided that the choice is reasonable and is communicated to you. You must comply with our reasonable requests for assistance and cooperation in the defense of the claim. Sinch Email may not settle the claim without your consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. You must pay costs and expenses due under this Section as Sinch Email incurs them.
10.3 Sinch Email agrees to indemnify the Customer for any damages resulting from any claim initiated by a third party and asserted against the Customer on the grounds that the Service, when used in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, infringes any Intellectual Property right, provided that the Customer: (a) promptly notifies Sinch Email, in writing, and no later than within ten (10) days following receipt of any claim; (b) allows Sinch Email to control and direct the investigation, preparation, and defense; and (c) fully collaborates in defense and resolution of the claim. Sinch Email is not responsible for any settlement that it does not approve in writing in advance.
In the event a notice of an Intellectual Property infringement claim is received from a third party, Sinch Email may, in its sole discretion, (a) procure for Customer the right to continue to use the Service, or (b) replace or modify the Service to make it non-infringing. If Sinch Email determines that it is not commercially reasonable to perform either of these alternatives, Customer shall cease to access and use the Service upon written request and a refund of the non used pro-rata.
Sinch Email will have no liability under this indemnification paragraph with respect to any Intellectual Property infringement claim (a) arising out of Customer’s use of the Services in breach of these Terms of Service; (b) arising out of the combination, operation, or use of the Services with other applications, portions of applications, products, or services where the Services would not by themselves be infringing; or (c) arising from Services for which there is no charge or a trial, evaluation or beta version of the Services.
This states Sinch Email's entire liability and Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for Intellectual Property infringement or allegations thereof by a third party.

14. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither party will be in violation of the Agreement if the failure to perform the obligation is due to an extraordinary event beyond its control, such as significant failure of a part of the power grid, Internet failure, natural disaster, war, riot, epidemic, strikes or labor action, terrorism (“Force Majeure”).
If a Force Majeure event occurs, the Agreement shall be automatically suspended during the time the Force Majeure event continues, and neither Party shall be liable to the other for non-performance or delay in the performance of required obligation(s) due to the Force Majeure event, provided the non-performing Party gives prompt written notice of its inability to perform specified obligation(s) due to the event and uses reasonable efforts to resume its performance of its obligation(s) as soon as possible.

16. MISCELLANEOUS
16.1 Some terms are incorporated into the Agreement by reference to pages on the Mailgun website and Mailgun may revise those terms from time to time (including these Terms of Service). Such revisions will be effective and supersede and form part of the Agreement as of the time (i) you enter into a new Service Order referencing the terms subject to the revisions or (ii) a Service Order automatically renews pursuant to the Agreement in which case you acknowledge that you have reviewed and accept the then-current version of the terms as of the date of the renewal. If there is a conflict between the terms of the Agreement, the documents will govern in the following order: the Service Order, then these Terms of Service. The headings or captions in the Agreement are for convenience only. If over time you enter into multiple Agreements for a given Customer Configuration (for example to add additional components or services) then the most recent terms referenced in the Service Order(s) will govern the entirety of the Services for the given Customer Configuration.
16.2 Unless otherwise expressly permitted in the Agreement the terms of the Agreement may be varied only by a written agreement signed by both parties that expressly refers to the Agreement. A Service Order may be amended to modify, add, or remove services by a formal written agreement signed by both parties, or by an exchange of correspondence (including via the Sinch Email ticketing system) that includes the express consent of an authorized individual for each of us. The pre-printed terms of your purchase order or other business form or terms that you provide shall be void and of no effect.
16.3 If any part of the Agreement is found unenforceable, the rest of the Agreement will continue in effect, and the unenforceable part shall be reformed to the extent possible to make it enforceable and give business efficacy to the Agreement. Each party may enforce its respective rights under the Agreement even if it has waived the right or failed to enforce the same or other rights in the past. The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors and not business partners. Neither party is the agent for the other and neither party has the right to bind the other on any agreement with a third party.
16.4 The following provisions in these Terms of Service shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement: Intellectual Property, Confidential Information, Indemnification, Limitation on Damages, Governing Law, Notices, Miscellaneous, all terms of the Agreement requiring you to pay any fees for Services provided prior to the time of expiration or termination, or requiring you to pay an early termination fee, and any other provisions that by their nature are intended to survive expiration or termination of the Agreement.
16.5 The Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive understanding between the parties regarding its subject matter and supersedes and replaces any prior or contemporaneous representation(s), agreement(s) or understanding(s), written or oral.
