5. Paid Services

A. Billing Policies. Certain aspects of the Service may be provided for a fee or other charge. If you elect to use paid aspects of the Service, you agree to the pricing and payment terms presented, as we may update them from time to time. AccelaTest may add new services for additional fees and charges, or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in its sole discretion. Any change to our pricing or payment terms shall become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to you as provided in this Agreement.

The Amount of the monthly fee depends on the number of active users (cf. no. 1.C). For the calculation of the number of active users the highest simultaneous number of activated user logins during the previous month is to be taken into account, even if the activated user login has not actually been used or accessed. Deactivated user logins are not taken into account for this calculation.

For the calculation of the monthly fee the local time of Des Moines, Iowa, United States of America is decisive.

If not otherwise agreed the monthly fee for the previous month is due to be paid on the first day of the month and will – if not provided otherwise – be charged to the credit card account of the Customer.

If the Customer chooses to pay for the Service up-front instead of paying for the Service monthly by credit card, AccelaTest deducts the monthly fee for the Service from the Customer’s balance. If the Customer’s balance isn’t sufficient to pay for the previous monthly fee, AccelaTest will invoice the customer for the remaining amount and will contact the customer to arrange for a payment for the continued use of the Service.

B. No Refunds. You may cancel your AccelaTest account at any time; however, there are no refunds for cancellation. In the event that AccelaTest suspends or terminates your account or this Agreement for your breach of this Agreement, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any unused time or data usage on a subscription, any license or subscription fees for any portion of the Service, any content or data associated with your account, or for anything else.

C. Payment Information; Taxes. All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Service must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Service at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You will pay any applicable taxes, if any, relating to any such purchases, transactions or other monetary transaction interactions.

14. Governing Law and Arbitration.

A. Governing Law. You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in Iowa; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over AccelaTest, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Iowa. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Iowa, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Polk County, Iowa for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below.

B. Arbitration. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM ACCELATEST. In the unlikely event that AccelaTest has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after 60 days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any AccelaTest claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms of Service, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by the Judicial Mediation and Arbitration Services (“JAMS”) under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. The arbitration will be conducted in Polk County, Iowa, unless you and AccelaTest agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing AccelaTest from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to protect any of AccelaTest’s proprietary interests. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU AND ACCELATEST ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.

C. Entire Agreement/Severability. This Agreement, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with AccelaTest in connection with the Service, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and AccelaTest concerning the Service. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver, the entire arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable.

D. No Waiver. No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and AccelaTest’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

E. Government Use Rights.
