12.3 Unused Allowances. Unused update requests, support hours, or other allowances do not roll over to subsequent billing periods and have no cash value.

13. Suspension & Termination

13.1 Immediate Termination by WebEaze. WebEaze may, in its sole discretion, immediately suspend or terminate Client's access to the Services and/or this Agreement, without prior notice, for any of the following reasons:

• Client's material breach of any provision of these Terms (other than non-payment, which is governed by Section 13.2)
• Initiation of a chargeback, payment dispute, or fraud claim against WebEaze
• Fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal activity by Client or through Client's website
• Abusive, threatening, or harassing behavior toward WebEaze staff, contractors, or representatives
• Violation of the Acceptable Use Policy set forth in Section 10
• Client's insolvency, bankruptcy filing, or assignment for the benefit of creditors
• Any other conduct that WebEaze reasonably determines poses an immediate risk to WebEaze, its systems, other clients, or third parties

13.2 Non-Payment: Cure Period. If WebEaze seeks to suspend or terminate Services solely due to non-payment of fees (and not due to any of the other causes listed in Section 13.1), WebEaze will first provide Client with written notice of the outstanding amount and a cure period of five (5) business days from the date of notice to bring the account current. If the overdue amount is not received in full within that period, WebEaze may immediately suspend or terminate Services without further notice. The cure period does not apply to: (a) chargebacks or payment disputes; (b) accounts that have previously received a cure notice within the same twelve (12) month period; or (c) circumstances where WebEaze reasonably believes further delay would result in material harm.

13.3 Effect of Termination for Cause. Upon termination for cause: (a) all outstanding balances shall become immediately due and payable; (b) all licenses granted hereunder shall automatically terminate; (c) Client shall immediately cease all use of the Services and Deliverables; and (d) WebEaze may delete Client data without further notice or liability.

13.4 No Refund Upon Termination. Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not entitle Client to any refund of fees paid, and Client shall remain liable for all fees accrued prior to termination.

14. Governing Law, Disputes & Arbitration

14.1 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its subject matter, or its formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provisions that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

14.2 Informal Dispute Resolution. Prior to initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good faith negotiation. The aggrieved party shall provide written notice describing the dispute and proposed resolution. The parties shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

14.3 Binding Arbitration. IF THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE THROUGH INFORMAL NEGOTIATION, ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE BREACH THEREOF, SHALL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA") IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with AAA rules. The seat of arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

14.4 Class Action Waiver. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, MULTIPLE PLAINTIFF, OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING ("CLASS ACTION"). THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CLASS ACTION. CLIENT EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST WEBEAZE.

14.5 Jurisdiction and Venue. For any disputes not subject to arbitration, or where arbitration is found to be unenforceable, Client consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Kent County, Delaware, and waives any objection based on inconvenient forum.

Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary.

14.7 Attorneys' Fees. In any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from the non-prevailing party.

15. Changes to Terms

15.1 Right to Modify. WebEaze reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify, amend, or update these Terms at any time.

If Client does not agree to any modified terms, Client's sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Services and cancel the subscription in accordance with Section 6 before the effective date.

15.4 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, shall be severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

15.5 Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Refund Policy, Fee Schedule, Privacy Policy, and any signed SOW, constitute the entire agreement between Client and WebEaze with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, or agreements, whether oral or written.

15.6 Waiver. No waiver of any term or condition of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and WebEaze's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

15.7 Assignment. Client may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without WebEaze's prior written consent. WebEaze may freely assign this Agreement without restriction. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall be null and void.

16. Force Majeure

16.1 Definition. "Force Majeure Event" means any event or circumstance beyond a party's reasonable control that prevents or materially delays that party's performance of its obligations under these Terms, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, floods, fires, earthquakes, epidemics or pandemics, government actions or orders, civil unrest, war, terrorism, widespread internet or telecommunications infrastructure failures, cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, power grid failures, or outages of third-party hosting platforms and services on which the delivery of the Services materially depends.

16.2 Effect. Neither party shall be in breach of these Terms or liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations to the extent that such delay or failure is directly caused by a Force Majeure Event, provided that: (a) the affected party provides written notice to the other party as promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of the event; (b) the affected party uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of and overcome the Force Majeure Event; and (c) performance is resumed as soon as reasonably practicable after the Force Majeure Event ceases.

16.3 Extended Force Majeure. If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than sixty (60) consecutive days and materially prevents either party from fulfilling its core obligations, either party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' written notice without further liability. Any subscription fees paid for periods during which no Services were delivered due to a Force Majeure Event may be credited at WebEaze's reasonable discretion. All other fees paid prior to the Force Majeure Event are governed by the Refund Policy.

16.4 Exclusions. Economic hardship, change in market conditions, increased operating costs, currency fluctuations, or a Client's inability to pay fees do not constitute a Force Majeure Event. Outages of third-party hosting providers constitute a Force Majeure Event only if WebEaze has no commercially reasonable alternative and provides prompt written notice to Client.

17. Confidentiality

17.1 Definition. "Confidential Information" means any non-public information disclosed by one party ("Disclosing Party") to the other ("Receiving Party") in connection with these Terms or the Services, including but not limited to: business plans, financial information, client lists, pricing structures, proprietary processes and methodologies, software, source code, login credentials, marketing strategies, and technical documentation. Information is considered confidential regardless of whether it is marked as such at the time of disclosure.

17.2 Obligations. The Receiving Party agrees to: (a) hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care; (b) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party without the Disclosing Party's prior written consent; (c) use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under these Terms; and (d) limit access to Confidential Information to those employees, contractors, and agents who have a legitimate need to know and who are bound by confidentiality obligations no less protective than those set forth herein.

17.3 Exclusions. Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the Receiving Party; (b) was already known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure, as evidenced by written records predating disclosure; (c) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to or use of the Confidential Information; or (d) is received from a third party who is not under any obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information.

17.4 Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is required by law, court order, or governmental authority to disclose any Confidential Information, it shall, to the extent legally permitted, provide the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice so the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. The Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed.

17.5 Survival. Confidentiality obligations under this Section 17 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years. Obligations with respect to login credentials, passwords, and access tokens shall survive indefinitely until such credentials are revoked or changed by the Disclosing Party.

18. Cessation of Business Operations

18.1 Planned Cessation Notice. In the event WebEaze makes a definitive business decision to permanently cease offering the Services, WebEaze will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Client with not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice via email to the address on file. During this wind-down period, WebEaze will continue to provide Services through the end of the notice period or the expiration of Client's current billing cycle, whichever is later.

18.2 Asset and Data Delivery. Within the wind-down period described in Section 18.1, WebEaze will make Client's website files, content, images, and all Client Materials (as defined in Section 8.3) available for download or transfer. WebEaze will provide Client with export files in a standard format and reasonable instructions for transitioning to another provider. Client is solely responsible for downloading or arranging transfer of all assets before the Services terminate. WebEaze shall have no liability for any loss of data or disruption resulting from Client's failure to retrieve assets within the wind-down period.

18.3 Domain Transfer. Where WebEaze holds or manages domain registrations on Client's behalf, WebEaze will initiate transfer of such domains to Client or a registrar of Client's choosing within the wind-down period. Client must provide valid transfer authorization and destination registrar details within fourteen (14) days of receiving cessation notice. WebEaze is not responsible for delays caused by Client's failure to respond or provide the necessary transfer information in a timely manner.

18.4 Prorated Refunds Upon Cessation. If Services are terminated due to cessation of business operations prior to the end of Client's prepaid billing period, WebEaze will issue a prorated refund for the unused portion of the subscription, calculated from the effective date of termination to the end of the prepaid period. This prorated refund represents the sole financial remedy available to Client in connection with a planned business cessation under this Section.

18.5 Successor and Acquisition. WebEaze reserves the right to sell, assign, or transfer all or any portion of its business, assets, or client relationships to a successor entity. In such event: (a) Client will receive written notice of the transfer not less than fourteen (14) days in advance; (b) the successor entity will be bound by the obligations owed to Client under these Terms; and (c) Client's subscription will continue uninterrupted under the same terms unless Client elects to cancel in accordance with Section 6.1 within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of the transfer, in which case a prorated refund of any remaining prepaid period will be issued.

18.6 Unplanned Cessation. WebEaze is operated as a sole proprietorship. In the event of an unforeseen cessation of operations due to circumstances beyond WebEaze's reasonable control, including the incapacitation, death, or personal emergency of the principal operator, WebEaze will endeavor through its legal representatives or estate to: (a) notify active Clients as soon as practicable; (b) provide access to Client Materials; and (c) process prorated refunds where administratively feasible. WEBEAZE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY GUARANTEE THAT ADVANCE NOTICE OR FULL REFUNDS WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE EVENT OF AN UNPLANNED OR SUDDEN CESSATION OF OPERATIONS. Client acknowledges that, as a condition of using the Services of a sole proprietorship, this risk is inherent and Client has been given the opportunity to consider it.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF AGREEMENT: BY ACCESSING, SUBSCRIBING TO, PURCHASING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE SERVICES IN ANY MANNER, CLIENT EXPRESSLY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT THEY HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY ALL PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, INCLUDING THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE IN SECTION 14.3, THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 14.4, AND THE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SET FORTH IN SECTION 11. IF CLIENT DOES NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS IN THEIR ENTIRETY, CLIENT MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE ALL USE OF AND ACCESS TO THE SERVICES.
