# User Management
## Administrators
Through the **Cloud Services**, **Customer** should specify certain **User/s** as **Administrators**, who will have important rights and controls over the use of **Cloud Services** and **User** Accounts. This may include submitting **Order Forms** or enabling **Third-party Application**, creating, de-provisioning, monitoring or modifying **User** Accounts, and setting **User** usage permissions; and managing access to Data by **Users** or others. Without limiting Section 5.3 (Responsibility for **Users**), you are responsible for whom you allow to become **Administrators** and any actions they take, including as described above. You agree that **ERP.net** responsibilities do not extend to the internal management or administration of the **Cloud Services** for you.
The appointment of an **Administrator** does not in any way limit the liability of the **Customer**. In case of violation of this **Agreement**, the **Administrator/s** and the **Customer** are jointly and severally liable.
## Resellers
For buying and upgrading the **Services**, as also bug fixes and support, the **Customer** may either work with an **ERP.net Resellers** as the main point of contact, or work with **ERP.net** directly.
If the **Customer** decides to work with an **ERP.net Resellers**, **ERP.net** will subcontract services to the **Reseller**, who becomes the main point of contact of the **Customer**. The **Reseller** may contact **ERP.net** on behalf of the **Customer** for assistance regarding standard features of the **Cloud Services**.
### Acceptance of Terms
**Resellers** will perform certain functions associated with the purchase, activation, support and management of **Cloud Services**. Each **Customer** must accept this **Agreement** to order **Cloud Services** from **Resellers**. If **ERP.net** updates the **Cloud Services,** then **Customer** must accept the new **Cloud Services** at or before renewal of their **Agreement Term**. If **Customer** does not accept the terms of the **Cloud Services**, **Resellers** shall be liable to **ERP.net** for any costs and damages incurred by **ERP.net** as a result of such failure.
### Buying thru a Reseller
Every **Customer** who buys a **Cloud Service** through **Resellers** should verify whether they are part of the official lists of licensed **Resellers** located on the [Reseller web page](#Hyperlinks). **ERP.net** is not liable for any damages caused to the **Customer** by unregistered **Reseller**.
### Liability
Any additional **Services**, including support, account management, **Bundles** and special offers are provided according to the additional rules for **Resellers** located on the **ERP.net** [Reseller web page](#Hyperlinks). The **ERP.net** limits its liability for any actions and omissions of a **Reseller**, subject to the limitations in section 12, and may, at their discretion, assist a **Customer** in resolving the issue.
### Resellers as Administrators
If **Customer** order **Cloud Services** through a **Reseller**, then the **Customer** is responsible for determining whether the **Reseller** may serve as an **Administrator** and for any related rights or obligations in the applicable agreement with the **Reseller**. As between **Customer** and **ERP.net**, you are solely responsible for any access by **Reseller** to your accounts or your other User Accounts.
## Responsibility for Users
Some **Cloud Services** require **Users** to be designated by **Administrators** and some may allow **Users** to invite other **Users**. The appointed **Administrator** is responsible for understanding the settings and controls for each **Cloud Service** you use and for controlling whom you allow to become a **User**. If payment is required for **Users** to use or access a **Cloud Services**, then we are only required to provide the **Cloud Services** to those **Users** for whom you have paid the applicable fees, and only such **Users** are permitted to access and use the **Cloud Services**. Some **Cloud Services** may allow you to designate different types of **Users**, in which case pricing and functionality may vary according to the type of **User**. You are responsible for compliance with this **Agreement** by all **Users**, including for any payment obligations. You are responsible for the activities of all **Users**, including **Order Forms** they may place and how **Users** use Your Data, even if those **Users** are not from your organization or domain. The **Administrator** and the **Customer** are directly responsible for any damages resulting from **User** activity.
# Platform rights and responsibilities
## System Availability
### Service Level Commitment
**ERP.net** commits to provide 99.5% uptime with respect to the **Customer**’s **Service** during each calendar month of the **Agreement Term**, excluding regular maintenance times and **Unforeseen events or actions**.
If in any calendar month this uptime commitment is not met by **ERP.net** and **Customer** was negatively impacted (i.e., attempted to log into or access the **Service** and failed due to the unscheduled downtime of the **Service**), **ERP.net** shall provide, as the sole and exclusive remedy, a credit note equal to 50% of a monthly fee for the use of the **Service**.
### Scheduled and Unscheduled Maintenance
**Scheduled maintenance** times does not count as downtime. **Unscheduled Maintenance** will be counted against the uptime guarantee unless such maintenance is preformed when it’s necessary to ensure a higher level of security and stability of the **Services**.
#### *Scheduled Maintenance*
Maintenance time is scheduled if it is communicated with an **Administrator** at least two full business days in advance of the maintenance time. Scheduled maintenance time typically is communicated at least 3 to 4 days in advance, scheduled to occur at night on the weekend. Scheduled maintenance is performed once or twice a year.
#### *Unscheduled Maintenance*
**ERP.net** in its sole discretion may take the **Service** down for Unscheduled maintenance and in that event will attempt to notify **Customer** and/or **Administrator** in advance. Unscheduled Maintenance, which is performed when it’s necessary to ensure a higher level of security and stability of the **Services** will be typically scheduled to occur at night - 10:00 pm - 12:30 am, based on the time zone of the **Cloud Server** location, chosen by **Administrator** or **Customer** in the **Order Form**, and should not exceed one hour.
### Postponement of an update
Depending on the **Support Services** and **Usage Limits**, specified in the **Order Forms** by the **Customer**, **ERP.net** offers shared or private servers to its **Customers**.
**Customers** who use shared servers do not have the opportunity to postpone scheduled upgrades and such are done according to the information on the official site and by the terms in Section 6.1.2.
**Customer** with private servers have the option to postpone the update. The updates can be postponed only once and for maximum 1 (one) month. **Customer** should open a support ticket, based on the procedure in Section 6.2., indicating the period for which the update should be postponed.
Non-updated servers pose security and maintenance risks, therefore **ERP.net** cannot guarantee the normal operation or full functionality of the system during this time. **ERP.net** will not be responsible, during this period, for any data leaks, security problems, system malfunction or difficulties accessing the **Cloud Services**.
### Credit note request
In order to receive a credit note under this service level commitment, **Customer** must request it simply by emailing [**ERP.net** **billing e-mail**](#Hyperlinks), no later than five days after the end of the applicable month. If **Customer** submits a credit request and does not receive a prompt automated response indicating that the request was received, **Customer** must resubmit the request because the submission was not properly received and will not result in a credit. The issued credit note is automatically deducted from the next monthly invoice. **ERP.net** shall calculate any service level downtime using **ERP.net**’s system logs and other records.
### Refusal of credit
**ERP.net** reserves the right to refuse to issue a credit note in case any of the following conditions are not met:
- At the time of the system unavailability, the **Customer** should not be in default or past due any of the payments to **ERP.net** or their **Affiliates**.
- Customer should not have breached any of the contractual obligation before or after the system unavailability.
## Support.
### Bugs and problems
For the duration of this **Agreement**, **ERP.net** commits to making all reasonable efforts to remedy any **Bug** of the **Cloud Services** submitted by the **Customer** through the appropriate channel (typically, the web form or phone numbers listed on the [Help page](#Hyperlinks), or when working with a **Reseller**, the channel provided by them), and to start handling such **Customer** submissions within 2 business days.
The period of 2 business days starts from the moment when a complete and detailed report about the **Bug/s** is provided, which should have a minimum information about: (a) what functionality was used, (b) what was the intended result, (c) what are the steps that were taken before the problem occurred, (d) what was the status of the user who tried to perform the action.
As soon as the **Bug** is fixed an appropriate remedy will be communicated to the **Customer**. Both parties acknowledge that as specified in the license of the **Cloud Services** and in Section 12 of this **Agreement**, **ERP.net** cannot be held liable for **Bugs** in the **Cloud Services**.
### Scope
For the duration of this **Agreement**, the **Customer** may open up to 10 (ten) support tickets per month for each **instance of Cloud Platform** they have**,** free of charge. The support tickets should cover questions regarding **Bugs** or Performance and Connectivity issues.
Other assistance requests, such as questions related to development or customizations may be covered through the purchase of a separate **Support services** **Agreement**. In case it’s not clear, if a request is covered by this **Agreement**, the decision is at the discretion of **ERP.net**.
### Availability
Tickets can be submitted via the web form or phone numbers listed on [Help page](#Hyperlinks). If a **Customer** is working with a **Reseller**, they can also send tickets thru the channel provided by the **Reseller**, subject to their working hours.
## Third-Party developers
### Third-party’s** products and services
**ERP.net** or **Third-party** may make available (for example, through the **Marketplace** or otherwise) **Third-party** products or services, including, for example, **Third-party Applications** and implementation and other **Consulting services**. Any acquisition by **Customer** of such products or services, and any exchange of data between **Customer** and any **Third-party’s** product or service is solely between **Customer** and the applicable **Third-party**. **ERP.net** does not warrant or support **Third-party Applications** or other **Third-party** products or services, whether or not they are designated by **ERP.net** as “certified” or otherwise, unless expressly provided otherwise in an **Order Form**. **ERP.net** is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of **Customer Data** resulting from access by such **Third-party Application** or its provider.
### Integration with Third-party Applications.
The **Services** may contain features designed to interoperate with **Third-party Applications**. **ERP.net** cannot guarantee the continued availability of such **Service** features and may cease providing them without entitling **Customer** to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if for example and without limitation, the provider of a **Third-party Application** ceases to make the **Third-party Application** available for interoperation with the corresponding **Service** features in a manner acceptable to **ERP.net**.
### Removal of Content and Third-party Applications.
If **Customer** receives notice that **Third-party Application** must be removed, modified and/or disabled to avoid violating applicable law, third-party rights, **Customer** will promptly do so. If **Customer** does not take required action in accordance with the above, or if in **ERP.net’s** judgment continued violation is likely to reoccur, **ERP.net** may disable the applicable **Service** and/or **Third-party Application**. If requested by **ERP.net**, **Customer** shall confirm such deletion and discontinuance of use in writing and **ERP.net** shall be authorized to provide a copy of such confirmation to any such third-party claimant or governmental authority, as applicable. In addition, if **ERP.net** is required by any third-party rights holder to remove content or receives information that content provided to **Customer** may violate applicable law or third-party rights, **ERP.net** may discontinue **Customer’s** access to content through the **Services**.
### Marketplace apps and tools
**ERP.net** offers applications developed by them or by third-parties through its **official Marketplace**, which are certified and have met the minimum requirements for working with **Cloud services** and software. However, each **Customer** has the right to use applications in conjunction with **Cloud services** that are not downloaded from the **Marketplace**, and **Customer** guarantees that they and their work with them will not violate the rules of this **Agreement**.
**ERP.net** certifies the various applications so that the **Customer** can choose safe and reliable applications for their work process. **ERP.net** ensures that the applications uploaded to the **Marketplace** (class A) meet the minimum requirements for security and reliability, and that they do not collect unnecessary information about the **Customer**. All applications that are not in class A are uncertified and **ERP.net** does not give any guarantees or warranties if the **Customer** chooses to integrate such applications in its work.
# Use and restriction of the platform
## Usage Limits
**Services** are subject to usage limits specified in **Order Forms** and **Documentation**. If **Customer** exceeds a contractual usage limit, **ERP.net** may work with **Customer** to seek to reduce **Customer’s** usage so that it conforms to that limit. If, notwithstanding **ERP.net’s** efforts, **Customer** is unable or unwilling to abide by a contractual usage limit, **Customer** will execute an **Order Form** for additional quantities of the applicable **Services** promptly upon **ERP.net’s** request, and/or pay any invoice for excess usage in accordance with the “**Invoicing and Payment**” section below.
The use of one **User** account by several different **Users** is expressly prohibited and will be considered a gross violation of this **Agreement**, which may result in termination of all **Services** without notice. This limit doesn’t apply for **Business Partners** accounts. If a **Business Partner** should access the system, a request for this is submitted through the platform and a **Business Partner** account of the given legal entity is created, which can be accessed by several **Users**.
Additionally, the **ERP.net** may, at its discretion, provide **Free services** under section 4.1.5. to **Customer** who they consider that is classified for them according to the internal **ERP.net** rules (universities, non-governmental organizations, churches). In such cases, the usage is limited to the resources that the **ERP.net** has decided to provide free of charge and according to the constraints it deems appropriate for the need of the **Customer,** stated in the **Order Form**.
### Different type of usage limits
**Session Based** – this is a type of limitation that entitles the **Customer** to use the **Cloud Service** by **User** sessions, regardless of who the individual **User** is. In this case the number of licenses is equal to the number of **User** sessions, which can be performed simultaneously by **Users** of the **Customer,** which means there are no restriction on the number of registered **Users**.
**User Based** – this is a type of limitation that entitles 1 /one/ individual **User**, identified in an **Order Form**, or in another appropriate way, to use the **Cloud Services**. In this case, the number of licenses is equal to the number of individual **Users** who can use the **Cloud Services**, which means there are restriction on the number of registered **Users.**
**Resource Based** – this is a type of limitation that gives the **Customer** the right to use a certain capacity of the **Cloud Services** – until a certain load of resources or monthly quota is reached. After the threshold is reached, all usage shall be billed based on average standard prices (Pay-as-you-go). There may be a hard limit on usage even in the case of Pay-as-you-go usage, stated in the **Order form**, after which the **Cloud Services** will be unavailable.
**Purpose Based** – this is a type of limitation that limits the number of records in one instance of the **Cloud Services** to a certain number or a type (e.g., number of invoices for a month, number of cars, specific type of records etc.)
**Functionality Based** – defines the functional modules or specific functions of the **Cloud Services**, which are subject to the license.
Multiple usage limits may be applied to **Customer**, based on their **Order Form** and personal and business needs.
## Bundles
**Customer** or **Developer,** who has developed an application that integrates and requires a license for the **ERP.net Cloud Platform,** is not allowed to purchase licenses or act as an intermediary or **reseller** of such in order to sell them in a **Bundle**.
In case a **Customer** or a **Developer** wants to make their application available to other **Customers** and **Users**, they can sell it without a license for the **ERP.net Cloud Platform** thru the official **Marketplace** or thru their own channels.
If a **Customer** or a **Developer** wants to offer licenses for the **ERP.net Cloud Platform**, they can sign a **Partnership agreement** and be included in the official **ERP.net** reseller lists. If a **Customer** or a **Developer** wants, independently of the **ERP.net**, to develop apps, and offer them in **Bundles** with **ERP.net Cloud Platform** licenses, they should sign a separate **Developer agreement**.
## Reservation of Rights
Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, **ERP.net**, its **Affiliates** and its licensors reserve all of their right, title and interest in and to the **Services**, including all of their related intellectual property rights. No rights are granted to **Customer** hereunder other than as expressly set forth herein.
## Ownership of Customer Data
As between **ERP.net** and **Customer**, all title and intellectual property rights in and to the **Customer** **Data** is owned exclusively by **Customer**. **Customer** acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the provision of the **Services**, **ERP.net** may store and maintain **Customer Data** for a period of time consistent with **ERP.net’s** standard business processes for the **Services**. Following expiration or termination of the **Agreement** or a **Customer** account, if applicable, **ERP.net** may deactivate the applicable **Customer** and **User** account(s) and delete any data therein. **Customer** grants **ERP.net** the right to host, use, process, display and transmit **Customer Data** to provide the **Services** pursuant to and in accordance with this **Agreement** and the applicable **Order Form**. **Customer** has sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of **Customer Data**, and for obtaining all rights related to **Customer Data** required by **ERP.net** to perform the **Services**.
## ERP.net Intellectual Property Rights
All rights, title and interest in and to the **Services** (including without limitation all intellectual property rights therein and all modifications, extensions, customizations, scripts or other derivative works of the **Services** provided or developed by **ERP.net**) and anything developed or delivered by or on behalf of **ERP.net** under this **Agreement** are owned exclusively by **ERP.net** or its licensors. Except as provided in this **Agreement**, the rights granted to **Customer** do not convey any rights in the **Services**, express or implied, or ownership in the **Services** or any intellectual property rights thereto. Any rights in the **Services** or **ERP.net’s** intellectual property not expressly granted herein by **ERP.net** are reserved by **ERP.net**.
## Suggestions/Feedback
**Customer** grants **ERP.net** and its **Affiliates** a royalty free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable right to use, modify, distribute and incorporate into the **Services** (without attribution of any kind) any suggestions, enhancement request, recommendations, proposals, correction or other feedback or information provided by **Customer** or any **Users** related to the operation or functionality of the **Services** or its **Affiliates’** services.
## Trademark
Except where noticed otherwise in writing, each party grants the other a non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty free, worldwide license to reproduce and display the other party’s name, logos and trademarks, solely for the purpose of referring to the other party as a customer or supplier, on websites, press releases and other marketing materials.
# Privacy and Information
## Confidentiality
### Definition of Confidential Information
“Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of **Customer** includes **Customer Data**; Confidential Information of **ERP**.**net** includes the **Services** and the terms and conditions of this **Agreement** and all **Order Forms** (including pricing). Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party.
### Exceptions
Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations set forth in this “Confidentiality” section apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties in connection with the evaluation of additional **ERP.net** services.
### Protection of Confidential Information
As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care).
Each party agrees not to disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any third party other than as set forth in the following sentence for a period of five years from the date of the disclosing party’s disclosure of the **Confidential Information** to the receiving party; however, **ERP.net** will protect the confidentiality of **Customer Data** residing in the **Cloud Service** for as long as such information resides in the **Cloud Service**. Each party may disclose **Confidential Information** only to those employees, agents or subcontractors who are required to protect it against unauthorized disclosure in a manner no less protective than required under this **Agreement**, and each party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information in any legal proceeding or to a governmental entity as required by law. **ERP.net** will protect the confidentiality of **Customer Data** residing in the **Services** in accordance with the **ERP.net** security practices applicable to **Customer**’s **Order Form** as described in this **Agreement** or such **Order Form**.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, **ERP.net** may disclose the terms of this **Agreement** and any applicable **Order Form** to a subcontractor or **Third-party Developer** to the extent necessary to perform **ERP.net**’s obligations under this **Agreement**, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.
### Compelled Disclosure
The Receiving Party may disclose **Confidential Information** of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
### Publicity
Neither party will use the name of the other party in publicity activities without the prior written consent of the other, except that **Customer** agrees that **ERP.net** may use **Customer's** name in customer listings or quarterly calls with its investors or, at times mutually agreeable to the parties, as part of **ERP.net's** marketing efforts (including reference calls and stories, press testimonials, site visits). **Customer** agrees that **ERP.net** may share information on **Customer** with its **Affiliates** for marketing and other business purposes and that it has secured appropriate authorizations to share **Customer** employee contact information with **ERP.net**.
### Return of Information
Upon written request, **Customer** will promptly return or destroy (and certify such destruction in writing) all Confidential Information in its possession.
## Data protection
### Protection of Customer Data
**ERP.net** will maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of **Customer Data**, as described in the **Documentation**. Those safeguards will include, but will not be limited to, measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of **Customer Data** (other than by **Customer or Users**). Except with respect to a free trial, the terms of the data processing addendum at [**Privacy and DPA page](#Hyperlinks)** are hereby incorporated by reference and shall apply to the extent **Customer Data** includes Personal Data, as defined in the DPA. To the extent **Personal Data** from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland are processed by us, **ERP.net** will not transfer personal data outside of EU, except in cases where that was explicitly demanded by the **Customer** or where it’s strictly necessary for the performance of the **Service**. In case of a data transfer outside of EEA in case there’s no Adequacy decision under art. 45 GDPR for this country/territory, the **Customer** agrees to a Standard Contractual Clauses, where **Customer** and its applicable **Affiliates** are each the data exporter, and **Customer's** acceptance of this **Agreement**, and an applicable **Affiliate's** execution of an **Order Form**, shall be treated as its execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses and Appendices.
### Processing of Personal Data
The parties acknowledge that the **Customer’s** database may contain **Personal Data**, for which the **Customer** is the Controller. This data will be processed by **ERP.net** the **Customer** instructs so, or if the **Customer** transfers their database or a part of their database to **ERP.net** for any reason pertaining to this **Agreement**.
This processing will be performed in conformance with Data Protection Legislation. In particular, **ERP.net** commits to:
- only process the **Personal Data** when and as instructed by the **Customer**, and for the purpose of performing one of the **Services** under this **Agreement**, unless required by law to do so, in which case **ERP.net** will provide prior notice to the **Customer**, unless the law forbids it;
- ensure that all persons within **ERP.net** authorised to process the Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality;
- implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the **Personal Data** against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, theft, alteration or disclosure;

**Customer** agrees to provide **ERP.net** with accurate contact information at all times, as necessary to notify the **Customer’s** Data Protection responsible.
### Subprocessors
The **Customer** acknowledges and agrees that in order to provide the **Services**, **ERP.net** may use third-party service providers (Subprocessors) to process Personal Data. **ERP.net** commits to only use Subprocessors in compliance with Data Protection Legislation. This use will be covered by a contract between **ERP.net** and the Subprocessor that provides guarantees to that effect.
### Transmission of Data
**Customer** understands that the technical processing and transmission of **Customer’s** Electronic Communications is fundamentally necessary to use of the **Cloud Service**. Customer is responsible for cable or another Internet connection and up to date “browser” software in order to utilize the **Cloud Service**. **Customer** expressly consents to **ERP.net**’s interception and storage of Electronic Communications and/or **Customer Data** as needed to provide the **Services** hereunder, and **Customer** acknowledges and understands that **Customer’s** Electronic Communications will involve transmission over the Internet, and over various networks, only part of which may be owned and/or operated by **ERP.net**. **Customer** further acknowledges and understands that Electronic Communications may be accessed by unauthorized parties when communicated across the Internet, network communications facilities, telephone or other electronic means. Without limiting **ERP.net**’s applicable obligations under this **Agreement**, **ERP.net** is not responsible for any Electronic Communications and/or **Customer Data** which are delayed, lost, altered, intercepted or stored during the transmission of any data whatsoever across networks not owned and/or operated by **ERP.net**, including, but not limited to, the Internet and **Customer’s** local network.
### Access to Customer Data
Upon request by **Customer** made within 30 days after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, **ERP.net** will make **Customer Data** available to **Customer** for export or download as provided in the **Documentation**. After such 30-day period, **ERP.net** will have no obligation to maintain or provide any **Customer Data**, and as provided in the **Documentation** will thereafter delete or destroy all copies of **Customer Data** in its systems or otherwise in its possession or control, unless legally prohibited.
During the **Agreement Term**, **Customer** can access its **Customer Data** at any time. **Customer** may export and retrieve its **Customer Data** in a standard format. Export and retrieval may be subject to technical limitations, in which case **ERP.net** and **Customer** will find a reasonable method to allow **Customer** access to **Customer Data**. Before the **Agreement Term** expires, **Customer** may use **ERP.net**’s API (Application Programming Interface) endpoint to perform a final export of **Customer Data** from the **Cloud Service**.
In the event of third-party legal proceedings relating to the **Customer Data**, **ERP.net** will cooperate with **Customer** and comply with applicable law (both at **Customer’s** expense) with respect to handling of the **Customer Data**.
# Invoices and Payment
## Billing Models
Billing Models are different approaches for pricing and charging a **Customer** based on their needs, use of the **Services**, and purchased licenses. **ERP.net** offers three types of **Billing Models** for their **Customers**. **Billing Models** are applied to the different **Usage limits** (see [**Section 7.1.1**](#_Different_type_of)). Depending on the details specified in the **Order Form** one **Billing Model** can be applied to all **Usage limits** or different **Billing Models** can be chosen for specific **Usage limits**.
### Types of Billing Models
**Subscription Billing Model** – You commit in advance to purchase a specific quantity of **Services** for use during the **Agreement Term** and to pay upfront or on a periodic basis in advance of use. Committed quantities not used during the month will expire at the end of it.
**Usage Billing Models** (Pay-As-You-Go) – You pay based on actual usage in the preceding month with no upfront commitment. Payment is on a periodic basis specified in the **Order Form**.
**Combined billing model** (Pay-As-You-Grow) – This model combines the above two and it’s applies exceptionally to certain usage limits. **Customer** commits to specific quantity, which is paid upfront every month (**Subscription Model**). In case the **Customer**'s needs exceed this quantity, they are charged based on certain unit of cost (**Usage Model**). In the begging of each month **Customer** is billed for all over-usage from the past month and the applicable fee for the next.
### Pre-set restrictions
With respect to **ERP.net Cloud Services**, when **Customer** has chosen the **Subscription Billing Model** for a specific **Usage limit**, all additional or other usage (for example, usage beyond **Customer’s** commitment quantity) may be transformed to a **Combined Billing Model** for that particular period of over usage or for the remaining of the **Agreement Term**.
### Default Billing Model
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable **Order Form** or **Documentation**, the **Subscription Billing Model** should apply to the **Purchased Services** and their **Usage limits** for the **Agreement Term** stated in the applicable **Order Form** or in the applicable online purchasing portal.
**Customer** can make a request for different combinations of **Usage limits** and **Billing Models**, but **ERP.net** reserves the right to prepare a personal offer that may better meet the needs of the **Customer**.

This **Agreement** is valid for the **Order Forms** which this **Agreement** accompanies. The **Agreement Term** term forof alleach **Purchased** **Services** subscription shall be as specified in the applicable **Order Form**.
## Pricing and PaymentRecurring Billing
**Customer** will provide **ERP.net** with valid and updated bank card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to **ERP.net**. If **Customer** provides bank card (credit card, debit card, virtual card etc.) information to **ERP.net**, **Customer** authorizes **ERP.net** to charge such bank card for all **Purchased Services** listed in the **Order Form** for the initial **Agreement Term** and any renewal **Agreement Term**(s).
Such charges shall be made either monthly or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in **Order Form**. In case of monthly billing and based on the **Billing Models** chosen, such charges will be made:

- In case of **Usage Billing Models** – on the 1st for the use generated for the previous month;
- In case of **Combined billing model** – on the 1st for the advanced and used quantities;

We may suspend or terminate your rights to use **Cloud Services** if we do not receive the corresponding payment from the **Reseller**.
Your order details (e.g., the **Cloud Services** you are entitled to use, the number of **Users**, the **Agreement Term**, etc.) will be as stated in the **Order** **Form** placed with us by the **Reseller** on your behalf, and **Reseller** is responsible for the accuracy of any such **Order Form** as communicated to us.
