7. Billing and Payment.
7.1 User shall pay all fees set forth in the Subscription. All fees are non-cancelable and nonrefundable, except as expressly specified in Section 9.2. All fees are exclusive of taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and User shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties (excluding taxes based on ZeveraHost’s income), even if such amounts are not listed on the Subscription. User shall pay all fees in U.S. Dollars or in such other currency as agreed to in writing by the parties.

8. Term and Termination.
8.1 This Agreement shall commence as of the date set forth in the first Subscription or the beginning of a free trial, if earlier, and, unless earlier terminated as set forth below, shall remain in effect through the end of the Subscription Term in any current Subscription (or the end of the free trial if no purchased subscription is ordered).

8.2 In the event of a material breach by either party, the non-breaching party shall have the right to terminate the applicable Subscription for cause if such breach has not been cured within 30 days of written notice from the non-breaching party specifying the breach in detail.

8.3 Upon any termination or expiration of a Subscription, User’s right to access and use the Services covered by that Subscription shall terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at User’s request if received within 30 days of termination of the Subscription, ZeveraHost will permit User to access the Services solely to the extent necessary for User to retrieve a file of User Data then in ZeveraHost’s possession. User acknowledges and agrees that ZeveraHost has no obligation to retain User Data and that ZeveraHost will have the right to irretrievably delete and destroy User Data after 30 days following the termination of this Agreement.

9.4 ZeveraHost shall defend at its expense any third party claim, suit or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) brought against User by a third party alleging that the use of the Service as contemplated hereunder infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party, and ZeveraHost shall pay all costs and damages finally awarded against User by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such Claim; provided that User (a) promptly gives written notice of the Claim to ZeveraHost; (b) gives ZeveraHost sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that ZeveraHost may not settle any Claim unless it unconditionally releases User of all liability); and (c) provides to ZeveraHost, at ZeveraHost’s cost, all reasonable assistance. The foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Claim based upon or arising from (i) any use of the Service outside the scope of this Agreement, or (ii) a combination of the Service with any content or other technology not provided by ZeveraHost, to the extent the Claim would not have arisen but for such combination. If the use of the Services by User has become, or in ZEVERAHOST’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of any claim of infringement, ZeveraHost may at its option and expense (i) procure for User the right to continue using and receiving the Services as set forth hereunder, (ii) replace or modify the Services to make them non-infringing with at least equivalent functionality; or (iii) if options (i) and (ii) are not reasonably practicable, terminate this Agreement and refund any prepaid fees for unearned Services.
