4. FEES AND PAYMENT.
4.1 Fees Payable. In consideration of the obligations undertaken by Actimize hereunder, Client shall pay to Actimize the Fees set out in the applicable Exhibit. Client’s failure to use a Service or to fully utilize a Scope of Use shall not release Client of any payment obligations. To the extent travel is required by Client, Client agrees to pay all pre-approved travel, subsistence and other related expenses in respect of Actimize staff who perform the Services at a Client-designated location.
4.2 Payment Terms. Unless otherwise agreed in an applicable Exhibit, (i) Fees are annual, (ii) Fees for the initial annual period of the Initial Term will be invoiced 100% on the Effective Date, and (iii) Fees for the subsequent annual periods of the Initial Term and for each Renewal Term are payable annually in advance on the anniversary of the Effective Date. If travel is requested by Client, Actimize will submit invoices on a monthly basis for all travel-related expenses. Client shall pay the amount specified in each invoice within 30 days Client’s receipt. In the event Client disputes an invoiced amount in good faith, Client shall notify Actimize of such dispute in writing, providing sufficient detail of the basis of the dispute, within 20 days of the date of invoice, and the parties shall work together promptly and in good faith to resolve such dispute. All outstanding amounts shall accrue interest at the lower of the highest rate available under applicable law or 1.5% per month. Actimize may suspend access to the Software Services without liability or waiver of Actimize’s rights until any overdue amounts which are not subject to a good faith payment dispute are paid in full. Client shall be liable for any reasonable costs associated with the collection of any late payments by Actimize including, without limitation, legal costs, expert fees, court costs and collection agency fees.
4.3 Taxes. Client shall, in addition to the other amounts payable under this Agreement, bear and pay all applicable taxes, including but not limited to sales, use, digital, excise, VAT or similar taxes and all other charges such as duties, levies, tariffs, imposts, and government-imposed surcharges, however designated, that are levied or imposed by reason of the transactions contemplated, other than taxes based on net income, property, or employees of Actimize. If Actimize is legally obliged to pay or collect taxes for which Client is responsible under this Section, Actimize will invoice Client and Client will pay that amount unless Client provides Actimize with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Without limiting the foregoing, if any such taxes are imposed upon and paid by Actimize, Client shall reimburse Actimize within 30 days of receipt of an invoice from Actimize for such amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Client is required by law to deduct or withhold tax at source from any amounts payable under this Agreement, Client shall increase the amount payable as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings, Actimize receives and retains (free from any liability for taxes) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Payment shall be made without any deductions, offset or deferment for whatever reason. Client shall remit amounts withheld to the respective tax authority and provide Actimize with certificates evidencing payments of such amounts, within the period specified by the relevant legislation or standard practice of the relevant tax authority, and when no period is specified by legislation, no later than 60 days from the date of withholding. In the absence of the receipt of such withholding tax certificate, the amount shall remain due and payable to Actimize. In the event a future tax legislation would assess any additional taxes, charges, levies, duties or surcharges on Actimize, Client shall bear and be responsible for the assessment and payment of such taxes and related additional costs, so that after payment, amounts payable to Actimize will not be reduced. If permitted by law, Client will be obligated to self-assess for any taxes, charges, levies, duties or surcharges (excluding taxes based on income, property, or employees of Actimize). If Client is prohibited by law to self-assess, so that Actimize will be obligated to assess and pay such taxes, Actimize reserves the right to charge Client for, and Client shall reimburse Actimize within 30 days of receipt of an invoice from Actimize for such taxes, charges, levies, duties or surcharges and any additional related costs.
