5.1 Term of this Agreement

This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until all of Customer’s Orders have expired or have been terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Term”). The “Effective Date” of this Agreement shall be the date specified in Customer’s initial Order, or the start date of a trial or, if such Order was submitted online, the date Customer submits the online Order. If Customer is using the Services pursuant to a trial Account and does not submit an Order prior to the conclusion of the trial period, this Agreement will terminate at the end of the trial period or, if later, the date Grabyo closes such trial Account.

5.2 Term of Orders

The initial term of each Order shall commence on the date specified in the Order or, if such Order was submitted online, the date Customer submits the online Order (the “Order Effective Date”). Unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement, each Order shall remain in effect for 1 year from the Order Effective Date (unless a different term is set forth in Customer’s Order) (“Initial Term”), following which the Order shall automatically renew for successive 1-year periods on the first day following the end of the Initial Term (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless either party hereto has provided notice to the other of non-renewal at least 60 days in advance of the end of the Initial Term or, if applicable, the current Renewal Term. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, all Orders for free Accounts, unless earlier terminated by either Customer or Grabyo, shall not automatically renew, but shall remain in effect for the period of time indicated during the Account registration process. Fees for the Services shall automatically increase by 5% each year after the Initial Term unless otherwise specified in the Order.

5.3 Termination

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, either party may terminate this Agreement, including any outstanding Orders, if:

(b) upon the occurrence of a material breach of this Agreement by the other party if such breach is not cured within 30 days after written notice identifying the matter constituting the material breach.

In the event of the termination or expiration of this Agreement, all licenses granted under this Agreement shall terminate automatically. Upon an early termination of this Agreement for any reason, all current Orders shall terminate and, unless such termination resulted from a material, uncured breach of this Agreement by Grabyo, all fees and expenses payable under any such Orders shall become immediately due and payable. The parties agree that, in such a termination, Grabyo’s damages may be difficult to ascertain, therefore the parties agree that Customer shall pay to Grabyo seventy-five percent (75%) of the remaining amounts payable under any terminated Orders as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty.

Customer is solely responsible for creating backup copies of any Content.
