6.Third-Party Products. The Software may incorporate, be distributed with, or depend upon certain software or other intellectual property that may be considered “open source” or “public use,” or otherwise subject to an open-source license (“Open-Source Components”). Any use of the Open-Source Components by You shall be governed by and subject to the terms and conditions applicable to the Open-Source Components. In addition, the Software may incorporate, be distributed with, or depend upon, certain software or other intellectual property that is commercially licensed (“Third-Party Software”). Third-Party Software is licensed for use solely with the Software and may not be used on a stand-alone basis or with any other third-party products. If Third-Party Software is identified as a line item in the Order Form, use of that Third-Party Software is governed by a separate third-party license agreement (“Third-Party License”), and nothing in this Agreement limits or expands Your rights under such Third-Party License vis-à-vis the provider thereof. If You do not agree to the Third-Party License, then You shall not use the associated Third-Party Software.
7.Fees and Payment. Fees shall be due and payable as set forth on the Order Form and as otherwise required under this Agreement. All Fees shall be paid without setoff, counterclaim, deduction, or withholding, including for any bank fees, wire transfer charges, intermediary bank fees, or other charges imposed by Your financial institution or payment provider, and BCAppCo shall receive the full amount invoiced. Failure to pay Fees on time may result in the termination of this Agreement and/or the suspension of Your and the Users’ or Clients’ access to and use of the Software as described in Subsection 8(b). In addition, for any past-due amount, BCAppCo may charge interest at 1.0% per month or at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Order Form, all Fees paid or payable are non-cancellable and non-refundable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
a.Disputed Fees. If You believe that any invoice for Fees is in error, You must notify BCAppCo in writing of such error within 25 days of Your receipt of such invoice. Failure to provide such notice shall constitute the waiver of Your right to dispute the invoice, unless the error would not have been discoverable upon reasonable inspection. If appropriate, BCAppCo shall rectify the error by reducing the amount of the next invoice following the parties’ resolution of such error, or by any other means agreed between the parties.

Prices are exclusive of any taxes and withholding requirements, including sales and use taxes, value-added taxes, export and import fees, customs, duties, tariffs, and similar charges arising out of this Agreement or applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are imposed by any government or other authority (“Taxes”). You shall pay or reimburse BCAppCo for all Taxes, if and as applicable. If You are required to pay or withhold any Taxes in respect of any payments due to BCAppCo hereunder, You shall gross up payments actually made to BCAppCo such that BCAppCo shall receive the sums due hereunder in full and free of any deduction for any such Taxes or withholdings.
c.Fee Changes. BCAppCo may change Fees for the Software from time to time, in its sole discretion. Any Fee changes will be effective upon the commencement of Your next renewal term, provided that BCAppCo shall inform You of any such Fee change at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.

This Agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration or termination of the subscription only in accordance with the terms of the remainder of this Section 8. The termination of this Agreement shall operate to immediately terminate the subscription set forth in the Order Form (if not already expired).
b.Termination or Suspension for Cause. BCAppCo may suspend Your access to the Saas Service and/or terminate this Agreement for the following causes:

iv.You become insolvent, or bankruptcy or receivership proceedings are initiated by or against You.
BCAppCo’s rights under this Subsection 8(b) are cumulative, and BCAppCo’s suspension of Your access to the Saas Service is without prejudice to its right to terminate this Agreement for the same cause(s) underlying the suspension.
c.Effects of Termination.
