the fees paid by you under these terms in respect of the Services in question in the month prior to the month in which the event (or, in the case of multiple events, the first event) which gave rise to a claim occurred. If you pay on a basis other than monthly, the relevant sum shall be the pro-rated amount for the month in question; and
£90.
You agree that the provisions of this clause 15 are fair and reasonable.
You can upgrade your account to a more expensive package at any time. We will charge you a pro-rated sum for the upgrade, and payment is due immediately. Your upgrade will take effect on receipt of payment.
You can downgrade your account to a less expensive package at any time, provided that your current usage is not higher than the usage permitted by your intended new package. If you downgrade, you are not entitled to a refund. Your downgrade will take effect immediately.
You must pay the fees for the Services, and all other sums due under these terms.
All the prices and charges that we quote are exclusive of VAT and we charge this in addition where it applies at the prevailing rate.
You may choose to have a valid payment mechanism set up with us. This can be either a debit or credit card. You can amend your stored debit or credit card details at any time via your account on our website. You must only store a card which is registered in your name and in respect of which you have the right to make charges. You must ensure that your stored card is valid, has not expired, and has sufficient funds available.
You must pay in advance. Your first payment is due on the first day you move to the paid version of the Services, and each subsequent payment is due on the appropriate anniversary of that day. This depends on the Services period which you have selected. We will attempt to notify you in advance of this date, but our failure to do so, or your failure to receive such a notice, does not affect your obligation to pay.
We will attempt to charge your debit or credit card on the due date. You are responsible for ensuring that payment is made.
If, for any reason (including our failure to charge your card), we do not receive your payment in full within two days of the due date, we may do any or all of the following:
Suspend the Services;
Charge you interest on the overdue amount at the Interest Rate from the due date up to the date of actual payment (whether before or after any court judgement); and
Charge you our reasonable costs and expenses (including legal costs) for seeking payment of the overdue amount.
In the event of a card chargeback, we may do any or all of the following:
Suspend or terminate the Services; and
Charge you a fee of £25 per instance.
If, for any reason (including our failure to charge your card), we do not receive your payment in full within 90 days of the due date, we may do any or all of the following:
Terminate this agreement; and
Delete your data.
If we suspend or terminate the Services in accordance with clause 17.6, 17.7 or 17.8:
We shall not be liable for any losses to you arising from this suspension or termination; and
We are not obliged to reactivate those Services; reactivation shall be at our sole discretion. If you wish us to reactivate the Services, we will notify you of the costs associated with doing so, and you can decide at that point whether you wish to proceed.
Neither of us will be liable to the other for any delay or failure in the performance of our contractual obligations caused by events outside our reasonable control. However, for either of us to rely on this clause, we must promptly notify the other of the circumstances of the event. This clause 18.1 does not apply to your obligation to pay any sums due under these terms.
If the event persists for 28 days or more, the party not effected by the event may give notice to the other to terminate these terms with effect from a date specified in the notice without penalty or other liability (except for any liability on your part to pay).
Any notice (except for the service of court proceedings) shall be sent to the other party’s nominated email address for service. In our case, this will be support@deployhq.com.
If either of us wants to change our email address for service, we must notify the other party of the change of email address in accordance with clause 19.1. You may also change your email address via your account on our website or phoning us. In the case of you notifying us, the change will take effect from the date on which we email you to confirm that we have changed your email address.
We both consider that notice has been given
In the case of us notifying you, one clear day after the time of sending the email;
In the case of you notifying us, one clear day after you receive by email a helpdesk ticket ID code for such notification.
Notice for the service of court proceedings shall be by a signed-for postal service which provides proof of delivery, or by courier, and such notice shall be addressed:
To us, to the Managing Director, saas.group Inc, 1700 Westlake Ave N, #200, Seattle, WA 98109; and
To you, to the most recent address which we have on file for you or, where no such address exists, to an address which we reasonably believe is linked with you.
We both agree that we shall deal with any disputes or claims arising out of or in connection with these terms or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) as follows:
The issue in dispute shall be referred for discussion to, in your case, the name of the main account holder, and in our case, the customer services manager that we notify to you. You should email us at support@deployhq.com;
If the dispute is not resolved, the managing directors (or equivalent) of each of us shall discuss the issue;
If the issue is not resolved then we shall refer it to a mediator that we jointly appoint. If we cannot agree on the mediator, we shall ask the President of the Law Society of England and Wales to appoint a mediator;
If the dispute is still not resolved, then, unless you are a Consumer, we both agree that the English courts have exclusive jurisdiction to settle the dispute. If you are a Consumer domiciled in a member state of the European Union, we will only bring a claim against you in the courts of that member state, and you can choose to bring a claim against us either in those courts or in the courts of England.
We shall both bear our own costs for elements of the dispute resolution procedure up to the involvement of the courts under clause 20.1.4.
We offer a free account, so that you can trial our Services before committing to buy. We strongly encourage you to try our Services using this free account before you buy from us.
Subject to clause 21.3, if you are a Consumer, you have a cooling-off period in which you can cancel certain Services. The cooling-off period begins on the first day you move to a paid version of the Services and lasts for 14 days.
The cooling-off period does not apply:
If you are not a Consumer; or
If you are a Consumer, and you have made an express request for us to provide the Services immediately.
If you wish to exercise your rights under this clause 21, you must inform us of your decision by sending an email to support@deployhq.com. You must send this email before the end of the period set out in clause 21.2.
We will reimburse all payments received from you within 14 days of receiving your email.

Have your general authorisation to obtain other Processors and shall respect the conditions referred to in paragraphs 2 and 4 of Article 28 for any such engagement.

Unless termination is for your breach of an obligation under these terms, we will refund you a proportion of the fees representing the number of paid-for days of Services that you will not be receiving due to termination.
Termination of these terms (or of any element of them) shall not affect any rights, obligations or liabilities of either party that have accrued before termination or that are intended to continue to have effect beyond termination.
On termination, we will delete your data.
