No rights or licenses are granted except as expressly set forth herein.
PAYMENT OF FEES
Customer will pay GruupMeet the then applicable fees described in the Order Form for the Services in accordance with the terms therein (the “Fees”). If Customer has an existing account or has previously completed an Order Form within twelve (12) months, Customer will be responsible for any usage agreed to in writing (e.g., email) and Customer agrees to pay the additional fees in the manner provided herein. If Customer’s use of the Services exceeds the Service Capacity set forth in the Order Form or otherwise requires the payment of additional fees (per the terms of this Agreement), Customer shall be billed for such usage and Customer agrees to pay the additional fees in the manner provided herein. GruupMeet reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute additional charges and Fees at the end of the Initial Service Term or then-current renewal term, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer (which may be sent by email). STILL, CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REGULARLY REVIEWING THESE TERMS AND/OR THE SITE FOR TIMELY NOTICE OF AMENDED TERMS OR CHANGES. If Customer believes that GruupMeet has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact GruupMeet via its Knowledge Base/Helpsite no later than sixty (60) days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to GruupMeet’s customer support team through GruupMeet’s Helpsite/Knowledge Base.
GruupMeet may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received by GruupMeet thirty (30) days after the mailing date of the invoice. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection and may result in immediate termination of Service.
TAXES
Customer will be responsible for all Taxes associated with Services (“Services”) other than U.S. taxes based on GruupMeet’s net income. Unless otherwise expressly specified by GruupMeet as required by applicable law, all prices shown by GruupMeet and Fees for Customers’ Use of the Services are exclusive of Taxes and Fees (“Taxes”). Where applicable, Taxes will be charged on the invoices issued by GruupMeet in accordance with applicable laws. GruupMeet, in its sole discretion, will (i) calculate the amount of Taxes due, and (ii) change such amounts without notice to Customer.
If Customer is exempt from any Taxes, Customer will provide GruupMeet with all appropriate tax exemption certificates, and/or other documentation satisfactory to the applicable taxing authorities, to substantiate such exemption status.

GruupMeet will provide Customer with such tax forms as reasonably requested to reduce or eliminate the amount of any withholding or deduction for Taxes in respect of payments made under this Agreement.
Tax Determination (“Tax Location”) is principally based on the location where Customer has established Customer’s business based on Customer Data, or if Customer is an individual, where Customer permanently resides. Tax Location will be defined by GruupMeet as the ‘Sold To’ or ‘Billing’ address provided by Customer. GruupMeet reserves the right to cross reference the Tax Location against other available evidence to validate whether Customer’s Tax Location is accurate. If Customer’s Tax Location is inaccurate, GruupMeet reserves the right to charge Customer any outstanding Taxes.
For Customers that use Services for event registration fees processing, as defined in the subsequent Booking Terms (“Booking Terms”), Customer is solely responsible for its Payment Processing (“Payments”) practices, and Customer indemnifies and holds GruupMeet, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates harmless from any action, responsibility and/or legal fees related to Payments.
RECURRING BILLING AUTHORIZATION
If Customer purchases the Services or Fees via credit card, debit card or other payment card ("Credit Card"), the following will apply:
By selecting or opting to save Credit Card information during the payment, checkout or purchase process, and agreeing to pay for GruupMeet Services and/or Fees, Customer hereby authorizes GruupMeet, to automatically charge Customer's Credit Card on the same date of each calendar year or month (or the closest prior date, if there are fewer days in a particular month) during the Service Term (“Term”) for all Fees accrued as of that date (if any) in accordance with the applicable Order Form, Invoice, Payment, or Agreement.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that the amount billed and charged at the time of the recurring Term may vary based on Customer's use of the Services, but the Fees will not surpass the amount previously paid, authorized and/or agreed to by Customer in completing Customer’s recent or then-current Order Form, Invoice, Payment, or Agreement.
TERM AND TERMINATION
Subject to earlier termination as provided below, this agreement is for Initial Service Term as specified in Order Form, Invoice, Payment, or Agreement and will be automatically renewed for additional periods of the same duration as Initial Service Term (collectively, “Term") unless either party requests termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.
In certain countries, Customer may be able to receive a prorated refund (“Refund”) based on the duration of the Term. To check Refund eligibility for countries other than the United States, contact GruupMeet via its Knowledge Base/Helpsite.
In addition to any other remedies, it may have, either party may also terminate this agreement upon thirty (30) days' notice (or without notice in the case of nonpayment) if the other party materially breaches any of the terms or conditions of this agreement. Customer will pay in full for Services up to and including the last day on which Services are provided. Upon any termination, GruupMeet will make all Customer Data available to Customer for electronic retrieval for a period of thirty (30) days, but thereafter GruupMeet may, but is not obligated to, delete stored Customer Data.

Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by GruupMeet or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond GruupMeet’s reasonable control, but GruupMeet will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption. HOWEVER, GRUUPMEET DOES NOT WARRANT THAT SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; NOR DOES IT MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF SERVICES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, SERVICES AND IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND GRUUPMEET DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
INDEMNITY
GruupMeet will hold Customer harmless from liability to third parties resulting from infringement by Service of any United States patent or any copyright or misappropriation of any trade secret, provided GruupMeet is promptly notified of any and all threats, claims, and proceedings related thereto and given reasonable assistance and the opportunity to assume sole control over defense and settlement; GruupMeet will not be responsible for any settlement it does not approve in writing. The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to portions or components of Service (i) not supplied by GruupMeet, (ii) made in whole or in part in accordance with Customer specifications, (iii) that are modified after delivery by GruupMeet, (iv) combined with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such combination, (v) where Customer continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) where Customer's use of Service is not strictly in accordance with this agreement. If due to a claim of infringement, Services are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be or are believed by GruupMeet to be infringing, GruupMeet may, at its option and expense (a) replace or modify Service to be non-infringing provided that such modification or replacement contains substantially similar features and functionality, (b) obtain for Customer a license to continue using Service, or (c) if neither of the foregoing is commercially practicable, terminate this agreement and Customer’s rights hereunder and provide Customer a refund of any prepaid, unused fees for Service.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, EXCEPT FOR BODILY INJURY OF A PERSON, GRUUPMEET AND ITS SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR TERMS AND CONDITIONS RELATED THERETO UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY: (A) FOR ERROR OR INTERRUPTION OF USE OR FOR LOSS OR INACCURACY OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY OR LOSS OF BUSINESS; (B) FOR ANY INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; (C) FOR ANY MATTER BEYOND GRUUPMEET'S REASONABLE CONTROL; OR (D) FOR ANY AMOUNTS THAT, TOGETHER WITH AMOUNTS ASSOCIATED WITH ALL OTHER CLAIMS, EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO GRUUPMEET FOR THE SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE LIABILITY.
In the event of a verified data breach, defined as the unauthorized access, acquisition, or disclosure of Customer Data due to GruupMeet's gross negligence, GruupMeet's liability may exceed standard limitations and shall include covering documented direct damages incurred by the Customer. Direct damages covered may include: (a) regulatory fines and penalties assessed due to non-compliance with applicable data protection laws, (b) data recovery and remediation costs, including necessary cybersecurity services, (c) customer notification expenses, and (d) operational losses directly resulting from downtime caused by the breach.

HOWEVER, GRUUPMEET SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, including but not limited to loss of revenue, reputational harm, or third-party claims, unless required by law.
