You must register and accept the terms of this Agreement and the AUP in order to use the Services. BY CLICKING ON THE “I ACCEPT” BUTTON BELOW, AND/OR REGISTERING FOR AND USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THE AUP, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AS WELL AS ALL POLICIES AND GUIDELINES OF THE AUP, WHICH ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. SolidSpace may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the AUP, at any time, in its sole discretion. Any modifications are effective upon posting of the revisions on the SolidSpace web site (the “Site”) at the respective locations shown in Section II and incorporated herein by reference. Your continued use of the Services following SolidSpace posting of any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the modifications. If you do not agree to the terms of any modification, do not continue to use the services and immediately notify SolidSpace of your termination of this Agreement in the manner described in the section below. All termination provisions agreed to in this agreement will still be in effect regardless of any service or policy changes made by SolidSpace. It is advised that you visit the SolidSpace website frequently for updates.

SolidSpace agrees to furnish services to the Subscriber, subject to the following TOS (Terms of Service)

Term and Payment for Services

Term: This Agreement will be for an initial “Term” of one (1) month from the date the Services are first provided by SolidSpace. This Agreement will be automatically renewed (the “Renewal Term”) at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term for a period of one (1) month unless you provide SolidSpace with written notice of termination at least thirty days (30) before the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term (also referred to interchangeably and collectively as “Term”), whichever is then applicable. To provide your notice of termination, you must submit a billing request at https://my.solidspace.com and fill out the corresponding cancellation form to initiate the cancellation of your service. In the event of a service failure within the my.caro.net system, you may also submit your cancellation via facsimile to the number shown for SolidSpace below under “Notices”.

Termination

This Agreement may be terminated: (i) by you or SolidSpace during any Renewal Term, without cause, by giving the other party no less than 30 days prior written notice; (ii) by SolidSpace in the event of nonpayment by you as provided in the section below or (iii) by SolidSpace, at any time, without notice, if, in SolidSpace sole judgment, you are in violation of any terms or conditions of the AUP. If you terminate this Agreement, or if SolidSpace terminates this Agreement for your breach, before the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable, you will be required to pay immediately all fees and costs accrued before the termination date, all monthly recurring fees for each month remaining in the Term and any other amounts you owe to SolidSpace under this Agreement. In no event will SolidSpace be liable for any damages resulting from termination or suspension of your services, with or without notice.

Charges

You will pay all charges for your use of the Services at the then current SolidSpace prices for that category of service or any special offer applicable to your account as determined by SolidSpace. You are responsible for paying all federal, state, and local sales, use, value added, import/export, excise duty and any other taxes assessed with respect to the Services, other than taxes based on SolidSpace net income. You are responsible for all costs of collection of all amounts owed under this Agreement, including reasonable attorney’s fees of SolidSpace. SolidSpace DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY ANALOG PAYMENTS. ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE MADE VIA ELECTRONIC MEANS AND AS PREAPPROVED BY SolidSpace.

Payment and Fees

You will pay all charges for the first month of service in advance on the first day of the Initial Term. Establishment of this service is contingent upon receipt of payment from you to SolidSpace. You will pay all subsequent charges for Services in advance on the anniversary day of each month. You authorize SolidSpace to charge your credit or debit card, paypal account, or other electronic draft mechanism as approved by SolidSpace, to pay for any charges that may apply to your account. You must notify SolidSpace of any changes to your card account including applicable account number, billing address, registered phone number, or cancellation or expiration of the account. Your failure to fully pay any fees and taxes within 72 hours from the applicable due date is a material breach of this Agreement, justifying SolidSpace to suspend its performance and terminate this Agreement. If SolidSpace terminates for your material breach, you will be required to pay immediately all fees and costs accrued before the termination date, all monthly recurring fees for each month remaining in the term, if any, and any other amounts you owe to SolidSpace under this Agreement. You are responsible for any costs that SolidSpace incurs in enforcing collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and collection agency fees.

Refund and Disputes

ALL PAYMENTS TO SolidSpace ARE NONREFUNDABLE. This includes any applicable setup fees and subsequent charges regardless of usage. All overcharges or billing disputes must be reported within 60 days of the time that the dispute occurred. If you dispute a charge to your credit card SolidSpace may, at it’s sole discretion, terminate all services associated with your account, however, this will not relieve you of your obligations under this agreement.

Failure to Pay

The Company may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement upon the failure of Subscriber to pay charges when due. Such termination or denial will not relieve the Subscriber of responsibility for the payment of all accrued charges, plus reasonable interest and any collection fees. In the event of a material breach of this agreement due to non or late payment of your services, all data, files, logs, and other information on or associated with your service will be, at SolidSpace’s sole discretion, deleted or otherwise destroyed. In no event will SolidSpace be liable for preservation of data subsequent to you breaching this agreement.

Payment is due on the defined monthly recurring billing date of each month. Credit cards that are declined for any reason are subject to a $10.00 declination fee. Service will be interrupted on accounts that reach 10 days past due. Service interrupted for nonpayment is subject to a $200.00 reconnect charge. Accounts not paid by due date are subject to a $7.95 late fee. Accounts that are not collectable by SolidSpace will be turned over to an outside agency for collection. If your account is turned over for collection, you agree to pay the company a “Processing and Collection” Fee of not less than Fifty ($50.00) nor more than One Hundred, Fifty ($150.00)

Delinquent Reseller Accounts

Should your reseller account become delinquent, and payment not made to SolidSpace, within 10 days of the due date, service is subject to termination as outlined above. Once a reseller account is terminated or suspended for non-payment SolidSpace may, at SolidSpace’s sole discretion, allow your customers to purchase the service previously bought from you directly from SolidSpace, and assume financial responsibility for the service from that point forward. Under no circumstances will SolidSpace be liable for continuing service relationships with your customers subsequent to your termination or suspension for non-payment.
