Where the Parties have agreed to Altis’ provision of Professional Services, the details of such Professional Services will be set out in an Order.  The Order Form will include: (a) a description of the Professional Services; (b) the schedule for the performance of the Professional Services; and (c) the Professional Services Fees applicable for the performance of the Professional Services. Each Order Form will incorporate the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  To the extent that a conflict arises between the terms and conditions of an Order and the terms of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will govern, except to the extent that the Order Form expressly states that it supersedes specific language in the Agreement.  
  2. PAYMENTS

5.1           Fees. In consideration of the access rights to the Platform granted under this Agreement, Client agrees to pay Altis the fees specified in the applicable Order Form (“Subscription Fees”). Subscription Fees are based on usage volume and are billed annually in advance, as set out in the Order Form. If the Client attempts to exceed their purchased usage volume, they will be automatically blocked from doing so or immediately invoiced for the overage (“Additional Fees”). To continue using the Services, the Client can purchase additional credits. By default, purchasing additional credits will result in a higher subscription rate upon renewal, applying any early adopter discount or volume-based discount applicable to the new package. Alternatively, the Client can opt to purchase a one-off booster pack at a rate higher than the subscription rate, without any discounts. Client agrees to automatic charging of Subscription Fees and Additional Fees to the payment method specified in the Order Form (“Payment Method”). Fees for Professional Services (“Professional Services Fees”) and Non-Subscription Services (“Non-Subscription Services Fees”) are billed at the end of the month in arrears and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. All fees, including Subscription Fees, Additional Fees, Professional Services Fees, and Non-Subscription Services Fees, are collectively referred to as “Fees”. Altis will be reimbursed only for expenses explicitly provided in an Order Form or approved in advance in writing by Client, given that Altis provides documentation for authorized expenses as reasonably requested by Client. If Altis cannot process any payment due to the Payment Method, or if Client has not paid outstanding Fees for over thirty (30) days from the due date, Altis reserves the right to discontinue the Platform and Services and suspend all access until payment is made in full. Client shall maintain accurate and up-to-date billing and contact information. Altis may increase Fees in an Order Form no more than once per consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Order Term.

5.2          Third Party Provider. Altis uses Stripe, Inc. as the third party service provider for payment services (e.g., card acceptance and related services).  By selecting a credit card as the Payment Method for paying Fees, Client agrees to be bound by Stripe’s Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/privacy and hereby consents and authorizes Altis to share any information and payment instructions provided herein with Stripe to the minimum extent required to complete Client’s transactions hereunder.

5.3           Late Payments. Payments by Client that are past due will be subject to interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1½%) per month (or, if less, the maximum allowed by applicable law) on that overdue balance. Client will be responsible for any costs resulting from collection by Altis of any such overdue balance, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.  

5.4          Taxes. The Fees do not include taxes, duties or charges of any kind.  If Altis is required to pay or collect any local, value added, goods and services taxes or any other similar taxes or duties arising out of or related to this Agreement (not including taxes based on Altis’s income), then such taxes and/or duties shall be billed to and paid by Client.


5.5           Withholding Payments.  If any applicable law requires Client to withhold amounts from any payments to Altis hereunder, then Client will perform such obligations consistent with the provisions of this section.  Client will effect such withholding, remit such amounts to the appropriate taxing authorities and promptly furnish Altis with tax receipts evidencing the payments of such amounts. The sum payable by Client upon which the deduction or withholding is based will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after such deduction or withholding, Altis receives and retains, free from liability for such deduction or withholding, a net amount equal to the amount Altis would have received and retained in the absence of such required deduction or withholding.

5.6            Suspension. In the event that Client’s account is more than thirty (30) days overdue on any payment for any reason, Altis shall have the right, in addition to its remedies under this Agreement or pursuant to applicable law, to suspend Client’s use of the Proprietary Items, without further notice to Client, until Client has paid the full balance owed, plus any interest due.

  1. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER.   

6.1             Warranty. The Services shall be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with industry standards.

6.2            DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 6, ALL SERVICES, PROPRIETARY ITEMS, AND REPORTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ALTIS MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INTERFERENCE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Client hereby assigns to Altis any rights, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights in any Feedback, derivative works, modifications, enhancements, or improvements related to the Proprietary Items that Client or any of its Authorized Users or representatives provide, propose, create, conceive, author or develop relating to this Agreement or their use of the Proprietary Items.

  1. INDEMNIFICATION 

10.1           By Altis. Altis shall defend at its own expense any action against Client brought by a third party to the extent that the action is based upon a claim that the Services infringe any U.S. copyrights or misappropriates any trade secrets recognized as such under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, and Altis will pay those costs and damages finally awarded against Client in any such action that are specifically attributable to such claim or those costs and damages agreed to in a monetary settlement of such action. Client agrees to give Altis: (a) prompt written notice of such claim (except that delayed notification will not negate Altis’s obligations if such delay did not materially prejudice Altis’s ability to defend the claim); (b) authority to control and direct the defense and/or settlement of such claim; and (c) such information and assistance as Altis may reasonably request, at Altis’s expense, in connection with such defense and/or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Altis shall have no obligation or liability to the extent that the alleged infringement or misappropriation arises from (1) Client Content or the combination, operation, or use of the Services with products, services, deliverables, materials, technologies, business methods or processes not furnished by Altis; (2) modifications which were not made by Altis; or (3) Client’s breach of this Agreement or use of the Services other than in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, “IP Exclusions”). Upon the occurrence of any claim for which indemnification is or may be due under this Section, or in the event that Altis believes that such a claim is likely, Altis may, at its option (i) modify or replace the Services so that they become non-infringing; (ii) obtain a license to the applicable third-party intellectual property; or (iii) terminate this Agreement (or the applicable Orders) on written notice to Client and refund to Client any pre-paid fees for Services not provided based on the remainder of the then current Term. The obligations set forth in this Section shall constitute Altis’s entire liability and Client’s sole remedy for any infringement or misappropriation.

10.2           By Client. Client shall indemnify, hold harmless, and, at Altis’s option, defend Altis from and against all costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, losses, and liabilities for any actions arising out of any (a) IP Exclusions, or (b) Client Content (including without limitation any third party claim that any Client Content is false, misleading, disparaging, infringing or a misappropriation, as applicable, of any intellectual property rights of a third party). Altis agrees to give Client: (i) prompt written notice of such claim (except that delayed notification will not negate Client’s obligations if such delay did not materially prejudice Client’s ability to defend the claim); (ii) authority to control and direct the defense and/or settlement of such claim; and (iii) such information and assistance as Client may reasonably request, at Client’s expense, in connection with such defense and/or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client shall not settle any third-party claim, unless such settlement completely and forever releases Altis with respect thereto or unless Altis provides its prior written consent to such settlement. In any action for which Client provides defense on behalf of Altis, Altis may participate in such defense at its own expense by counsel of its choice.
