6. PAYMENT DETAILS
Fees associated with the use of Buzzly services are of two types: per generated content and a monthly subscription fee. The content fee is calculated based on the specific piece of content produced by our content creators. The monthly subscription fee is a flat fee that provides access to our platform and its features. Detailed breakdowns of these costs will be provided at the time of billing. Customers are responsible for the timely payment of these fees. Both the content and subscription fees are entirely dependent on the type of plan chosen by the customer. Basic, Growth, or Enterprise plans. Enterprise plans may not charge content fees but may add integration and management fees.
The Company may choose to invoice through an invoice, in which case, full payment of invoices issued in any given month must be received by the Company thirty (30) days after the invoice date. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection and may result in the immediate termination of the Service. The Customer shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services other than U.S. income-based taxes of the Company.
7. TERM AND TERMINATION
Upon the expiration of your subscription with Buzzly, access to the platform and all associated features will cease. Any remaining Customer data on the platform will be handled according to our Data Retention Policy. Final payments will be settled according to our Billing Policy and refunds will be processed when applicable. Subject to early termination as set forth below, this Agreement is for the Initial Service Term specified in the Order Form and will automatically renew for additional periods of the same duration as the Initial Service Term (collectively, the "Term"), unless either party requests termination at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current term. In addition to any other remedies it may have, either party may also terminate this Agreement with thirty (30) days notice (or without notice in the case of non-payment), if the other party materially breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement. The Customer shall pay in full for the Services up to and including the last day on which the Services are provided. All sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, among others, accrued rights to payment, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
8. LOCK-IN CLAUSE:
8.1. Minimum 90-Day Commitment:
The Customer acknowledges and agrees that, to promote the effectiveness and success of collaborations between brands and content creators through Buzzly services, a minimum commitment to continuous platform usage is required.

8.4. Importance of the Lock-In Period:
This 90-Day Lock-In Clause is established in recognition of the importance of recurrence in the use of the Buzzly platform to achieve desired results and the mutual benefit of all parties involved.

9. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER
The Company will use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to maintain the Services in a manner that minimizes errors and interruptions in the Services and will perform the Implementation Services in a professional and workmanlike manner. Services may be temporarily unavailable due to scheduled maintenance or unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by the Company or by third-party providers, or due to other causes beyond the Company's reasonable control, but the Company will use reasonable efforts to provide advance written or email notice of any scheduled service disruption.
