Services

Subscription and Fees

3.1

The Company and Hootly agree that the Subscription, price, payment method and any usage limits set out in the applicable Order Form form part of and are governed by this Agreement.

3.2

Each Subscription renews automatically for successive periods equal to the initial term unless cancelled through the Platform before the renewal date.

Term and Termination

Either party may terminate for convenience at any time with effect from the end of the current Subscription period. Hootly may suspend or terminate immediately if the Company materially breaches this Agreement. Upon termination all licences end and outstanding fees become due immediately.
