LENGTH OF SERVICE : Service Term. The “service term” refers to the period of time for which CloudFuze (hereinafter “the Company”) will periodically bill you (hereinafter “the Customer”) in advance of service. The service term is the term selected by the Customer from the available options at the time of signing up for the Company’s service, either one month or one year.

The first service term begins on the date the Customer placed the order for the Company’s application services (hereinafter “Order Date”). The service term does not begin on the day the Customer receives any ordered equipment. The service term does not begin the first time the Customer uses the Company services.

This is an indefinite duration contract with no set end date. Beginning on the Order Date, the Customer’s service will continue indefinitely until cancelled by the Customer or by the Company, as detailed below under “Company Rights.” The Customer assumes all financial responsibilities and obligations for payment of Company services as set forth herein. Automatic Renewal. At the expiration of the Customer’s original service term, the service term agreement shall be automatically renewed by the Company and will continue in full force and effect for the specific term the Customer selected on the original Order Date. Service term renewal is automatically enacted on the first day following the end of the Customer’s current service term. The Customer has the right to terminate services before the last day of the current service term by contacting the Company at payments@cloudfuze.com.

Early Termination Fees : All promotional plans or additional benefits offered to the Customer at the time of the service agreement, such as subscription upgrades, compensated or discounted service pricing, free installations, rebates, or any and all other incentives, are provided to the Customer based on a fixed agreement for a specific duration of Company services. Unless otherwise specified in the offer and noted in the terms of the Customer’s binding service agreement, the service period begins on the Order Date.

If the Customer terminates service before the expiration of the period of time specified in the Customer’s service agreement, whether monthly or yearly, the Customer will be subject to an Early Termination Fee (hereinafter “ETF”). The applicable ETF is assessed based upon the Customer’s specific service subscription plan, and the ETF is calculated based on the terms of the agreement for the
Customer’s selected rate plan.

For monthly subscriptions cancelled by the Customer at any time during the month, the Customer assumes full responsibility for payment of services for the entirety of the final month of service and for the service validity. Likewise, for yearly subscriptions cancelled by the Customer at any time during the year, the Customer assumes full responsibility for payment of services for the entirety of year of the service agreement and for the service validity. The Company does not prorate service fees for cancelled subscriptions, monthly or yearly, and no refunds will be issued.

Company Rights. The Company reserves the right to suspend or discontinue company services at any time. The Company also reserves the right to immediately disconnect the Customer’s individual service or discontinue the Customer’s service agreement at any time without notice.
