AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES; SUPPORT.

Availability. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and any scheduled maintenance and unavailability caused by: (a) actions or omissions of Client; (b) failures, errors or defects in the facilities, hardware, software or network of Client; or (c) circumstances that constitute a force majeure event or that are beyond 5starsreputation’s reasonable control, 5starsreputation will make available access to the Services during the Term of this Agreement.

FEES AND PAYMENT.

Fees. Unless otherwise specified on the applicable Subscription Documentation, the Services are provided on an ongoing, per license subscription-basis including automatically recurring payments for periodic charges, according to the terms and conditions referenced in the Subscription Documentation (“Subscription”). Client agrees to pay to 5starsreputation the fees for the Subscription to the Services or any Bundle (“Subscription Fees”) and any additional fees, if applicable, all as set forth in the applicable Subscription Documentation (collectively, the “Fees”). Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Subscription documentation, unless Client terminates a Free Access Subscription prior to the lapse of the Free Access Subscription term (7 days – based on the package), such Services will convert to a paid Subscription and Client agrees to pay 5starsreputation the applicable Subscription Fees according to the terms of this Agreement. Third-party applications like Stripe, Paypal, and Thrivecart shopping cart platform may be used to collect payment. We are not responsible or liable for payment fees charged by third-party applications, including credit card fees, different value conversion fees, or any type of fee-related due to the payment.

Payment of Fees. All Fees will be paid monthly. Fees are non-refundable, non-creditable and payment obligations non-cancellable. Client acknowledges and authorises 5starsreputation to charge Fees and other amounts automatically, on an auto-renew basis of your Subscription Start Date (as defined below) for each subsequent Subscription Term. For the avoidance of doubt, all additional Subscription Fees for additional Services accessed by Client will be billed when the Service is first accessed by Client and automatically, on an auto-review basis on Client’s existing Subscription Start Date. 5starsreputation may from time to time provide notice to Client regarding any Renewal Term(s) and the auto-renew processes including an opportunity to renew or opt out of the automatic renewal. Should 5starsreputation be unable to process/receive the Fees when due and owing, payment will be considered overdue. Client must pay interest to 5starsreputation on any amount that is due and payable but unpaid to 5starsreputation under this Agreement, calculated daily at the Interest Rate from the due date until the date on which it is paid. If 5starsreputation sends the account for collection and/or initiates legal action to collect overdue amounts, Client will be liable for all cost and expenses of such action, including all legal or attorney’s fees, court costs, and expenses. Additionally, after payment becomes overdue for five (5) days, 5starsreputation may suspend Client’s access to the Services until any overdue payment is paid in full by Client to 5starsreputation.

Taxes. 5starsreputation’s Fees are exclusive of all taxes, and Client must pay any applicable taxes or levies (including any applicable goods and services taxes as set out in A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth)), whether domestic or foreign, other than taxes based on the income of 5starsreputation.

Fee Increase. 5starsreputation reserves the right to increase Fees for any Services, without any written notice, effective on the start date of each Renewal Term.

Subscription Payment
Subscribers must agree to the payment terms presented at the time they sign up for the product. The Client is responsible for acting prior to renewal if you do not want to renew automatically. The Client may not receive notice of your renewal after subscribing, and you must visit your chose method of payment to find out when your subscription renews. We have provided a basic Plan page inside 5StarsReputation to make thing easier. Subscriptions recur either monthly or annually, depending on the renewal term you choose on signup. You must ensure that the credit card information used for your account or subscription is current and accurate and that you are authorized to use that credit card.

Subscription Cancellation
You may cancel at any time by sending an email to [email protected] or via our support ticket platform and choosing to cancel the subscription. Cancellation does not entitle you to any refund whatsoever. You will lose access if the subscription is not in good standing.

No Refunds
5starsreputation will not provide you with any refunds at any time. If you cancel your subscription, 5starsreputation is not obligated to refund fees for any portion of your subscription term. If you choose to downgrade your subscription during your subscription term, you may be entitled to pay a lower, prorated amount as of the date of renewal, but you are not entitled to any refund at any time.

TERM AND TERMINATION.

The initial Subscription Term for any Services is 1 calendar month – ongoing until client terminate the agreement.

By agreeing to any Subscription Documentation, the Client is agreeing to pay applicable fees for the entire Subscription Term.

Suspension of Services. 5starsreputation may suspend Client’s access to the Services if: (a) Client’s account is overdue; or (b) Client has exceeded its Scope of Use limits. 5starsreputation may also suspend Client’s access to the Services, remove Client Data or disable Third-Party Products if it determines that: Client has breached Sections (Use Rights; Restrictions) or (Client Obligations); or suspension is necessary to prevent harm or liability to other Clients or third parties or to preserve the security, stability, availability or integrity of the Services. 5starsreputation will have no liability for taking action as permitted above. For avoidance of doubt, Client will remain responsible for payment of Fees during any suspension period. Unless this Agreement has been terminated, 5starsreputation will cooperate with Client to restore access to the Services once it verifies that Client has resolved the condition requiring suspension.

Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement, including any related Subscription Documentation, if the other party: (a) fails to cure any material breach of this Agreement (including a failure to pay fees) within thirty (30) days after written notice detailing the breach; (b) ceases operation without a successor; or (c) seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors’ arrangement, composition or comparable proceeding. If Client terminates during the Subscription Term for any reason, Client will be responsible for the Fees due for the entire Subscription Term. 5starsreputation may also terminate this Agreement or any related Subscription Documentation immediately if Client breaches Sections (Use Rights; Restrictions) or (Client Obligations), or for repeated violations of other Sections of this Agreement.

Except where this Agreement specifies an exclusive remedy, all remedies under this Agreement, including termination or suspension, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that may be available to a party.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

Obligation of Confidentiality. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, each party (as the receiving party) must: (a) hold in confidence and not disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to third parties; and (b) use the other party’s Confidential Information only as necessary to fulfil its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement. Each party may share the other party’s Confidential Information with its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors having a legitimate need to know, provided that such party remains responsible for any recipient’s and these recipients are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Section.

Exclusions.

Remedies. The parties acknowledge that disclosure of Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which damages alone may be an insufficient remedy, and so upon breach of this Section each party is entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to any other remedies it may have at law. 5starsreputation is never, in any circumstance, responsible for breach of confidential information and the client is the sole responsible for any breach of confidential information.
