(d) Section 7 (Confidentiality),
(e) Section 8 (Licenses and Proprietary Rights),
(f) Section 10 (Limitation of Liability),
(g) Section 13 (Indemnification).
6. Fees and Payment
6.1 Fees
Subscriber will pay all fees specified in "Service Order and/or Contract", and provide accurate and updated billing contact information.
All fees payable shall be made in Danish Krones, Euros, US Dollars, or other currencies, depending on the circumstances as set forth in the "Service Order and/or Contract".
Payments by the Subscriber will be made either through a credit card or through an invoice issued by Valuer. Valuer does not accept payments through any type of checks or in cash.
Minimum commitments in "Service Order and/or Contract" is:
(a) based on Services purchased and not actual usage;
(b) paid in advance;
(c) non-cancelable;
(d) non-refundable;
(c) cannot be decreased during the specified term.
Fees paid for minimum commitments are not refundable.
Subscriber’s payments of fees are neither
(a) contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features nor
(b) dependent on statements not set forth in the Agreement or any "Service Order and/or Contract".
6.2 Invoicing Terms
If the "Service Order and/or Contract" specifies that payment will occur by invoice, Subscriber shall be invoiced and the Effective Date of the start of the use of the Services begins with the confirmation of the Bank stated in the invoice of the payment of the invoiced amount.
Subsequently, Valuer will invoice Subscriber according to the billing frequency stated in the "Service Order and/or Contract.
Invoices to be paid by credit card are due on the invoice date or the first business day of the month, whichever comes first.
All other invoices are due net 14 days from the invoice date or the first business day of the month, whichever comes first.
If Subscriber is paying for Services by invoice, the claim by Subscriber that the lack of payment or late payment was due to the fact that the invoice was not received, in any way precludes Subscriber from payment of the agreed-upon amount to the agreed-upon Valuer bank account before the end of the last billing cycle.
It is, therefore, the responsibility of the Subscriber to take into account the delays of the inter-bank transaction system that applies to Subscriber when paying the due amount on the due date, as set in these Terms and the “Service Order and/or Contract”. Any payments that are not concluded due to the delays of the inter-bank transaction system will be considered as late payments by Valuer.
If any invoiced amount is not received by Valuer by the due date, then without limiting Valuer’s rights or remedies:
(a) those charges may accrue late interest to be charged according to Danish regulation;
(b) Valuer may condition future subscription renewals and "Service Order and/or Contract"s on shorter payment terms.
If Subscriber is paying for Services by credit card, Subscriber will provide Valuer’s authorized payment processor with valid credit card information and promptly notify Valuer’s authorized payment processor of any changes necessary to charge the credit card.
The provision of credit card information to Valuer’s authorized payment processor authorizes Valuer, through its authorized payment processor, to charge the credit card for all Services specified in a "Service Order and/or Contract", and any renewal subscription.
Subscriber acknowledges that Valuer will not have access to Subscriber’s credit card information.
6.3 Suspension of Service and Acceleration
If any amount owed by Subscriber is 30 or more days overdue (or 15 or more days overdue in the case of invoices to be paid by credit card), Valuer may, without limiting any rights and remedies, accelerate Subscriber’s unpaid fee obligations to become immediately due and payable, and block the provision of Services to Subscriber until the overdue amounts are paid in full.
Valuer will give Subscriber at least 10 days prior notice that its account is overdue, in accordance with Section 18 (Manner of Giving Notice), before blocking Services to Subscriber.
6.4 Payment Disputes
Valuer will have discretion whether to exercise any rights to block Services, accelerate payments, impose late charges or change payment terms under Section 6.2 (Invoicing Terms) and Section 6.3 (Suspension of Service and Acceleration) with respect to an overdue amount for so long as Subscriber is disputing the overdue amount in good faith.
The parties shall cooperate diligently to resolve the dispute.
6.5 Refund or Payment upon Termination
If Subscriber terminates the Agreement in accordance with Section 5.2 (Termination for Cause), Valuer will not refund any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all "Service Order and/or Contract"s after the effective date of termination.
If the Agreement is terminated by Valuer in accordance with Section 5.2 (Termination for Cause), Subscriber will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all "Service Order and/or Contract"s. In no event will termination relieve Subscriber of its obligation to pay any fees payable for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
If Subscriber terminates without cause prior to the end of the then-current term, Subscriber shall be immediately liable for the balance of the fees for the remainder of the term, in case of a tiered payment, or shall not be able to claim a refund for the balance of the fees for the remainder of the term, in case of a flat payment.
6.6 Taxes and Payment Processing Fees
Fees for Services do not include any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, "Taxes").
Fees for Services also do not include any “Payment Processing Fees” (e.g. from the use of third-party payment services or any other type of transfer fees).
Subscriber is responsible for paying all “Taxes” and any “Payment Processing Fee” associated with the use of the Valuer Services required by Subscriber, as determined in the “Service Order and/or Contract” between Valuer and Subscriber.
If Valuer is obligated by law to pay or collect Taxes for which the Subscriber is responsible, Valuer will invoice the Subscriber and the Subscriber will pay that amount unless the Subscriber can provide a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Subscriber will provide Valuer any information Valuer reasonably requests to determine whether Valuer is obligated to collect Taxes. Valuer is solely responsible for taxes assessable against its income, property, and employees.

22. Entire Agreement
The Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, contracts, proposals, or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following, the order of precedence shall be:
(i) the Agreement, including "Service Order and/or Contract"
(ii) the DPA,
(iii) the Documentation,
(iv) the Acceptable Use Policy and
(v) the Privacy Notice.
Valuer and Subscriber each represent that it has validly entered into or accepted the Agreement and has the legal power to do so.
Valuer may modify these Terms from time to time. Any and all changes to these Terms will be posted at terms of service and the Terms will indicate the date they were last updated and their effective date.
Subscriber is deemed to accept and agree to be bound by any changes to the Agreement when Subscriber uses the Service after the effective date of those changes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the parties enter into, or have entered into a separate formal written subscript agreement, the terms of that agreement shall control over the terms of the Agreement unless the parties expressly agree to supersede such agreement with this Agreement.
Any term or condition stated in a Subscriber purchase order or other Subscriber order documents (excluding "Service Order and/or Contract") is void.
No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under the Agreement will constitute a waiver of that right. If any provision of the Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be deemed null and void, and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in effect.
All references in the Agreement to “including” not specifically mentioned as such are to mean “including but not limited to”.
