NobelBiz shall have no liability for any claim of patent, copyright or trade secret infringement based on the use of the Products in any form other than the original, unmodified, uncustomized form provided to Customer or the use of the Products with hardware, software or data not supplied by NobelBiz where the Products alone in their original, unmodified, uncustomized form would not constitute an infringement. The foregoing states NobelBiz’s entire liability for infringement claims or claims of infringement of patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights.

10. Payment

(a) Customer agrees to pay to NobelBiz, on a monthly basis, charges for Services and Products rendered by NobelBiz to Customer. Customer is fully responsible for all applicable usage, recurring and non-recurring charges, plus any applicable taxes and fees, including but not limited to all sales or use taxes, and for all property taxes and other taxes applicable to Customer’s use of the Services and Products.

As a condition of Customer’s obligations under this Agreement, in order to ensure the prompt payment of sums due, Customer agrees to pay all invoiced charges within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice (the 30th day representing the “Due Date”). If payment of charges is not received by Due Date, the delinquent balance will bear interest accumulating at the rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum amount allowed by the law, whichever is less. Nothing herein shall be construed as constituting a waiver of NobelBiz’s right to declare a default by Customer under this Agreement or an applicable Service Order on account of any delinquency.

(b) Errors or disputes (including but not limited to those regarding particular calls) do not constitute grounds for delay in payment of the invoiced amount for Services or Products.

(c) Prepayment. NobelBiz may specify, by any means, including within an invoice provided to Customer pursuant to Section 11 hereof, whether a certain Service or Product must be prepaid. Customer will prepay as set forth herein, in an applicable Service Order, or in an applicable invoice. NobelBiz will provide monthly reconciliation invoices, via electronic mail, acknowledging the prepayment amounts received. If Customer fails to meet its payment obligations, NobelBiz may disconnect service unilaterally with twenty-four (24) hours’ notice.

(d) Customer may incur additional fees for requesting or causing any changes or modifications to an order for Services or Products after NobelBiz has implemented or provided, or initiated the implementation or provision, of such Service or Product. Such fees shall be reasonably determined by NobelBiz based upon the time and cost reasonably expended by NobelBiz to change or modify the order, and the cost of any such fee charged by NobelBiz shall be reflected on the subsequent invoice sent by NobelBiz to Customer, and Customer shall pay such charges within thirty (30) days.

11. Billing

(a) NobelBiz shall provide an invoice once per month for the Services or Products provided hereunder in accordance with the then-current rates set forth in an applicable Service Order, as soon as practicable after the end of each month, or otherwise as soon as practicable after receipt of any applicable Service Order from Customer detailing Services or Products ordered from NobelBiz.

(b) Billing Disputes

Customer will be responsible for full payment of all charges as reflected on any NobelBiz invoice on or before the Due Date. Billing disputes do not constitute grounds for delay in payment. Any request for a billing adjustment must be made in good faith and in writing on or before the Due Date, or such dispute is waived by Customer. Any such request shall include detailed documentation to establish the basis for any adjustment. NobelBiz and Customer will promptly address and attempt to resolve any dispute within one billing cycle. Any amounts that are determined to be in error, or any credits to which NobelBiz agrees, will be credited against invoices following such determination. Such request for adjustment shall not be cause for delay in payment of the balance due.

12. Credit

(a) Customer’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes Customer’s acceptance of NobelBiz’s initial and continuing credit approval procedures and policies. NobelBiz reserves the right to withhold initiation or full implementation of Services and Products described in any service schedule(s) or service order pending NobelBiz’s initial satisfactory credit review and approval thereof, which may be conditioned upon terms specified by NobelBiz, including, but not limited to a fixed credit limit and/or security for payments due hereunder in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit, cash deposit, or other means. Customer agrees to provide to NobelBiz, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice, financial statements and/or other financial documents as NobelBiz may reasonably request. NobelBiz reserves the right to modify its requirements, if any, with respect to any security or other assurance provided by Customer for payments due hereunder in light of any increase in Customer’s usage or for any other reason which NobelBiz, in its sole discretion, believes affects Customer’s credit worthiness. A credit application is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(b) If at any time there is a material adverse change in Customer’s creditworthiness, then in addition to any other remedies available to NobelBiz, NobelBiz may elect, at its sole discretion, to exercise one or more of the following remedies: (i) cause the Service or Product commencement date described in any previously executed Service schedule or Service Order to be withheld; (ii) cease providing Services or Products and/or terminate this Agreement or any related Service Order; or (iii) condition provision of Services or Products on Customer’s assurance of payment within three (3) days of either a cash deposit, irrevocable letter of credit satisfactory to NobelBiz or other means to establish reasonable assurance of payment, each and all in NobelBiz’s sole discretion.

(c) An adverse material change in Customer’s creditworthiness shall include, but not be limited to: (i) Customer’s default of its obligations to NobelBiz under this or any other agreement with NobelBiz; (ii) failure of Customer to make full payment of all charges due hereunder or under any other agreement with NobelBiz on or before the Due Date; (iii) acquisition of Customer (whether in whole or by majority or controlling interest) by an entity which is insolvent, which is subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, which owes past due amounts to NobelBiz or to any entity affiliated with NobelBiz or which, in NobelBiz’s sole discretion, is a materially greater credit risk than Customer; (iv) Customer’s being subject to or having filed for bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or the legal insolvency of Customer; or, (v) increase in Customer’s actual usage compared to any projected usage upon which any security requirements were previously based.

13. Termination/Suspension

(d) NobelBiz reserves the right, at its sole discretion, and without notice of any kind, to suspend or remove access to the Services or Products if not doing so would create a substantial risk to NobelBiz. NobelBiz will have no liability of any kind for suspension or removal of access to the Services or Products.

14. Confidentiality; Restrictions.

(a) In consideration of their respective rights under this Agreement, each party acknowledges that it may provide the other with confidential and proprietary information through the course of this Agreement or otherwise, including, but not limited to: marketing strategy, costs, rates, technical data, Customer information and other information specific to the divulging party (“Confidential Information”).

Further, Customer may disclose the existence of this Agreement with NobelBiz and the general nature of the business relationship.

(b) The parties also agree and stipulate that the potential damage from a breach of this provision would result in irreparable injury and that monetary damages would be difficult or impossible to calculate and would not provide full relief to the aggrieved party.

NobelBiz has the right, but not the obligation, at NobelBiz’s expense, to obtain private counsel for any matter to which the Customer’s indemnification responsibilities pertain.

28. Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Service Order is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to their conflict of law provisions.

31. Injunctive Relief.

32. Forecasting. Customer shall provide NobelBiz with prompt and accurate traffic forecasting information each month in order to allow NobelBiz to provision the Services, including without limitation, regular forecasts, in a mutually approved format, regarding the number of minutes per month expected to be terminated in various countries and or cities, so as to enable NobelBiz to configure optimum network arrangements.
