The overage Fees for Additional Seats are charged monthly in arrears, but can be pooled and invoiced at a later date at Happeo’s discretion. After Additional Seats have been created, all invoicing of Seats will be based on the increased number of Seats for the remainder of the ongoing Subscription Term.

If Customer requests paper invoices sent via mail, Happeo has the right to charge a reasonable invoicing surcharge.
9.7. Payment Term. The payment term is 14 days net, unless Customer is paying by credit card, or otherwise is agreed in the applicable Order Form.

b. ceases its business operations or becomes subject to insolvency proceedings; or
c. is repeatedly in material breach of the Agreement notwithstanding any cure of such breaches.
Upon termination, except in case of Happeo’s material breach, all fees payable to Happeo until the end of the Subscription Term, will become immediately due and payable, and Customer’s right to use the Service ceases.

10.3. Suspension. Happeo may immediately suspend Customer’s and/or any Authorized User’s access to the Service if: (a) Customer or any of its Authorized User breaches Section 3.5 (Prohibited Use) or fails to pay any undisputed amount when due; or (b) Happeo determines in good faith that such suspension is reasonably necessary to avoid possible harm to its own, Customer’s, or any third party’s property, systems, or information. Happeo will notify Customer of the suspension and reason thereof as soon as commercially practicable, and restore service as soon as commercially practicable once the underlying issue is resolved.
