6.1.1 Annual Subscription Basis – to the extent that SQream and Customer agree that Customer will make payments of the License Fee hereunder on an annual subscription basis, as will be set forth in the applicable Order, Customer will pay SQream in advance the annual license fee set forth in the applicable Order, as a condition to any use of the Software.

The actual Monthly Usage Amount of Customer in each calendar month will be determined based on the data extracted from the Software with respect to such calendar month. Thus, the Customer hereby undertakes to provide SQream, on a monthly basis and as a condition for the usage of the Software in accordance with this Agreement, with an access to Customer’s servers on which the Software is installed, in order to extract from the Software the relevant data in order to determine the actual Monthly Usage Amount (the “Monthly Usage Check”).

In consideration for other Services to be provided by SQream hereunder (other than maintenance and support Services), Customer will pay to SQream the fees set forth in the applicable Order. Unless expressly otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, fees for such other Services provided by SQream shall be invoiced and payable in advance.         

Taxes.  All fees payable under this Agreement are net amounts, exclusive of any sales, value added and other similar taxes. Customer shall exclusively bear all federal, state, or local excise, sales, use, withholding, value-added, or other taxes or duties (except for taxes based on SQream’s net income) arising out of this Agreement.

Except where expressly specified otherwise, all fees payable under this Agreement are non-cancellable and non-refundable.
