Accordingly, unless Customer cancels its Subscription before its expiration, which in the case of an annual Subscription, such cancellation notice shall be no less than 30 days before its expiration (unless otherwise permitted by lutinx.com), the Subscription to the underlying Services will automatically renew upon the end of the then applicable Subscription Term, for a renewal period equal in time to the original Subscription Term and, unless otherwise notified to Customer, at the same price (subject to applicable Tax changes and excluding any discount or other promotional offer provided for the first Subscription Term). Accordingly, unless either Customer or us cancel the Subscription before its expiration, we will attempt to automatically charge Customer the applicable Fees upon or immediately before the expiration of the then applicable Subscription Term. If Customer wishes to avoid such auto-renewal, Customer shall cancel its Subscription, before its expiration, at any time through the Account settings or by contacting our Customer Success team. Except as expressly outlined in these Terms, in case a Customer cancels its Subscription, during a Subscription Term, the Subscription will not renew for an additional period, but the Customer will not be refunded or credited for any unused period within the Subscription Term.
8.10. Discounts and Promotions. Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate legally binding agreement, if Customer received a special discount or other promotional offer, Customer acknowledges that upon renewal of the Subscription to the Services, lutinx.com will renew such Subscription to the Services, at the full applicable Fee at the time of renewal.
8.11. Credits. Any credits that may accrue to Customerโs Account for the respective Services, for any reason (โCreditsโ), will expire and be of no further force and effect, upon the earlier of: (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable Subscription under the Account for which such Credits were given; or (ii) in case such Credits accrued for an Account with Trial Services (as defined below) that was not upgraded to a Subscription Plan, then upon the lapse of 90 days of such Creditsโ accrual. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, Credits may be used to pay for the respective Services only and not for any Third Party Services or other payment of whatsoever kind. Whenever fees are due for any Services, accrued Credits will be first reduced against the Fees and the remainder will be charged from the Customerโs respective payment method. Credits shall have no monetary value (except for the purchase of Services under the limited terms specified herein) nor exchange value, and will not be transferable or refundable.
8.12. Payment through Partner. If Customer purchased Services from a lutinx.com authorized reseller, distributor or engages with an intermediary to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder to us which is approved by us (โPartnerโ), then to the extent there is any conflict between these Terms and the agreement entered between Customer and the respective Partner, including any purchase order (โPartner Agreementโ), then, as between Customer and lutinx.com, these Terms shall prevail. Any rights granted to Customer and/or any of the other Users in such Partner Agreement which are not contained in these Terms, apply only as between Customer and the respective Partner. In that case, the Customer must seek redress or realization or enforcement of such rights solely with the Partner and not lutinx.com. For clarity, the Customerโs and its Usersโ access to the Services is subject to our receipt from the Partner of the payment of the applicable Fees paid by the Customer to the Partner. Customer hereby acknowledges that at any time, at our discretion, the billing of the Fees may be assigned to us, such that Customer shall pay us directly the respective Fees.
9. Refund Policy; Chargeback.
9.1. Refund Policy. If Customer is not satisfied with its first purchase of the Services and solely with respect thereto (โInitial Purchaseโ), then Customer may terminate such Initial Purchase of the Services by providing us a written notice, within 30 days of such Initial Purchase (โRefund Periodโ). If Customer terminates such Initial Purchase, within the Refund Period, we will refund Customer the pro-rata portion of any unused and unexpired Fees pre-paid by Customer in respect of such terminated Services, unless such other sum is required by applicable law, in the same currency we were originally paid (โRefundโ). The Refund applies only to the Initial Purchase and does not apply to any additional or subsequent purchases, upgrades, modifications, or renewals of the Services (even if such were performed during the Refund Period). Please note that we shall not be responsible for refunding any differences caused by the change of currency exchange rates or fees that the Customer was charged by third parties, such as wire transfer fees. After the Refund Period, the Fees are non-refundable and non-cancellable. To the extent permitted by law, if we find that a notice of cancellation has been given in bad faith or in an illegitimate attempt to avoid payment for Services received and enjoyed, we reserve our right to reject the Customerโs Refund request. Subject to the foregoing, upon termination by Customer under this Section 9.1 all outstanding payment obligations shall immediately become due for the used Services and Customer will promptly remit to lutinx.com any fees due to lutinx.com under these Terms.
9.2. Non-Refundable Services. Certain Services may be non-refundable. In such event, we will identify such Services as non-refundable, and Customer shall not be entitled, and we shall not be under any obligation, to terminate the Services and give a Refund.
9.3. Chargeback. If, at any time, we record a decline, chargeback, or other rejection of a charge of any due and payable Fees (โChargebackโ), this will be considered as a breach of Customerโs payment obligations hereunder, and Customerโs use of the Services may be suspended, disabled or terminated at lutinx.comโs discretion. Customer may not have any further access to the Services in the event of such suspension, disablement, or termination, unless lutinx.com otherwise enables Customer to resume its access to the Services, at its sole discretion, subject to Customerโs payment of any applicable Fees in full, including any fees and expenses incurred by us and/or any Third Party Services for each Chargeback received (including handling and processing charges incurred by the payment processor), without derogating from any other remedy that may apply to us under these Terms or applicable law.
10. Trial Services; Pre-Released Services.
10.1. Trial Services and Free Versions. We may offer, from time to time, part or all of our Services on a free, no-obligation trial and/or in connection with a free Subscription Plan to the Services for a limited duration and with limited functionality (โTrial Servicesโ). The term of the Trial Services shall be as communicated to you within the Services, in an Order Form, or separately in writing by lutinx.com, unless terminated earlier by either Customer or us, for any reason or no reason. We reserve the right to modify, cancel, and/or limit the Trial Services at any time, with or without notice, and without liability or explanation to you. In respect of the Trial Services, upon termination, we may change the Account web address at any time without any prior written notice.
10.2. Pre-Released Services. Note that we may offer, from time to time, certain Services or parts thereof as Alpha or Beta versions (โPre-Released Servicesโ) and we use best endeavors to identify such Pre-Released Services as such. Pre-released services are Services that are still under development, and as such they may be inoperable or incomplete and may contain bugs, suffer disruptions, and/or not operate as intended and designated, more than usual.
10.3. Governing Terms of Trial Services and Pre-Released Services. The Trial Services and Pre-Released Services are governed by these Terms, including relevant Specific Services Terms, provided that notwithstanding anything in these Terms or elsewhere to the contrary, in respect of Trial Services and Pre-Released Services (i) such services are licensed hereunder on an โAs-Isโ, โWith All Faultsโ โAs Availableโ basis, with no representations and/or warranties, express or implied, of any kind; (ii) the indemnity undertaking by us outlined in Section 16.2 herein shall not apply; and (iii) IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF LUTINX.COM, ITS AFFILIATES OR ITS THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, UNDER, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH, THESE TERMS (INCLUDING THE SITES, THE SERVICES, AND THE THIRD PARTY SERVICES), EXCEED EUR 100. We make no promises that any Trial Services and/or Pre-Released Services will be made available to you and/or generally available.
11. Term and Termination; Suspension.
11.1. Term. These Terms are in full force and effect, commencing upon the Effective Date, until the end of all Subscriptions to the Services underlying the Account, either paid or unpaid unless terminated otherwise in accordance with these Terms.
11.2. Termination for Cause. Either Customer or us may terminate the respective Services and these Terms, as applicable, upon written notice, in case the other party (a) is in material breach of these Terms and to the extent, curable, fails to cure such breach, within a reasonable cure period, which shall not be less than 10 days following written notice from by the non-breaching party; provided, however, that termination by Customer shall apply only for those components of the Services for which the breach has occurred; or (b) ceases its business operations or becomes subject to insolvency proceedings and the proceedings are not dismissed within 45 days.
11.3. Termination by Customer. Customer may terminate its Subscription to the Services by canceling the Services and/or deleting the Account, whereby such termination shall not derogate from Customerโs obligation to pay applicable Fees except where such termination is made within the Refund Period. In accordance with Section 9 above, unless mutually agreed otherwise by Customer and us in a written instrument, the effective date of such termination will take effect at the end of the then-current Subscription Term, and Customerโs obligation to pay the Fees throughout the end of such Subscription Term shall remain in full force and effect, and Customer shall not be entitled to a refund for any pre-paid Fees.
11.4. Effect of Termination of Services. Upon termination or expiration of these Terms, Customerโs Subscription and all rights granted to you hereunder shall terminate, and we may change the Accountโs web address. It is the Customerโs sole liability to export the Customer’s Data before such termination or expiration. If Customer did not delete the Customer Data from the Account, we may continue to store and host it until either Customer or we, at our sole discretion, delete such Customer Data, and during such period, Customer may still be able to make limited use of the Services to export the Customer Data ( โRead-Only Modeโ), but note that we are not under any obligation to maintain the Read-Only Mode period, hence such period may be terminated by us, at any time, with or without notice to Customer, and subsequently, the Customer Data will be deleted. Customer acknowledges the foregoing and its sole responsibility to export and/or delete the Customer Data before the termination or expiration of these Terms, and therefore we shall not have any liability either to Customer, nor to any User or third party, in connection thereto. Unless expressly indicated herein otherwise, the termination or expiration of these Terms shall not relieve Customer from its obligation to pay due Fees.
11.5. Survival. Section 2.6 (Customer Responsibility for Users), 3 (Customer Data), 6 (Privacy and Security), 7 (Third Party Services; Links), 8 (Subscription, Fees, Upgrades and Renewal) in respect of unpaid Subscription Fees, 10.3 (Governing Terms of Trial Services and Pre-Released Services), 11 (Term and Termination; Suspension), 12 (Confidentiality), 13 (Warranty Disclaimer), 14 (Limitations of Liability), 16 (Indemnification), 21 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction; Class Action Waiver and Arbitration) and 22 (General Provisions), and such other sections of these Terms which by their nature are intended to survive, shall survive the termination or expiration of these Terms, and continue to be in force and effect in accordance with their applicable terms.
11.6. Suspension. Without derogating from our termination rights above, we may decide to temporarily suspend the Account and/or a User Profile (including any access thereto) and/or our Services, in the following events: (i) we believe, at our sole discretion, that you or any third party, are using the Services in a manner that may impose a security risk, may cause harm to us or any third party, and/or may raise any liability for us or any third party; (ii) we believe, at our sole discretion, that you or any third party, are using the Services in breach of these Terms or applicable Law; (iii) Customerโs payment obligations, in accordance with these Terms, are or are likely to become, overdue; or (iv) Customerโs or any of its Usersโ breach of the Acceptable Use Policy. The aforementioned suspension rights are in addition to any remedies that may be available to us by these Terms and/or applicable Law.
12. Confidentiality.
12.1. Confidential Information. In connection with these Terms and the Services (including the evaluation thereof), each party (โDisclosing Partyโ) may disclose to the other party (โReceiving Partyโ), non-public business, product, technology, and marketing information, including without limitation, customers lists and information, know-how, software and any other non-public information that is either identified as such or should reasonably be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, whether disclosed before or after the Effective Date (โConfidential Informationโ). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Customer Data is regarded as Customerโs Confidential Information, and (ii) our Site, Services, Trial Services, and/or Pre-Released Services, inclusive of their underlying technology, and their respective performance information, as well as any data, reports, and materials we provided to you in connection with your evaluation or use of the Services, are regarded as our Confidential Information. Confidential Information does not include information that (a) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (b) was known to the Receiving Party before its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (c) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without any use or reference to the Confidential Information.
12.2. Confidentiality Undertakings by the Receiving Party. The Receiving Party will (i) take at least reasonable measures to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information, and limit access to those employees, affiliates, service providers, and agents, on a need-to-know basis and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained herein; and (ii) not use or disclose any Confidential Information to any third party, except as part of its performance under these Terms and as required to be disclosed to legal or financial advisors to the Receiving Party or in connection with a due diligence process that the Receiving Party is undergoing, provided that any such disclosure shall be governed by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained herein.
12.3. Compelled Disclosure. Notwithstanding the above, Confidential Information may be disclosed according to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body; provided, however, that to the extent legally permissible, the Receiving Party shall make best efforts to provide prompt written notice of such court order or requirement to the Disclosing Party to enable the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict such disclosure.

16. Indemnification.
16.1. By Customer. Customer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless lutinx.com and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, liabilities, losses, reasonable expenses or costs (collectively, โLossesโ) incurred as a result of any third party claim arising from (i) Customerโs and/or any of its Usersโ, violation of these Terms or applicable Law; and/or (ii) Customer Data, including the use of Customer Data by lutinx.com and/or any of its subcontractors, infringes or violates, any third partyโs rights, including, without limitation, intellectual property, privacy and/or publicity rights.
16.2. By lutinx.com. lutinx.com hereby agrees to defend Customer, its affiliates, officers, directors, and employees, in and against any third party claim or demand against Customer, alleging that Customerโs authorized use of the Services infringes or constitutes misappropriation of any third partyโs copyright, trademark or registered US patent (โIP Claimโ), and we will indemnify Customer and hold Customer harmless against any damages and costs finally awarded on such IP Claim by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to via settlement we agreed upon, including reasonable attorneyโs fees. lutinx.comโs indemnity obligations under this Section 16 shall not apply if: (i) the Services (or any portion thereof) was modified by Customer or any of its Users or any third party, but solely to the extent the IP Claim would have been avoided by not doing such modification; (ii) if the Services is used in combination with any other service, device, software or products, including, without limitation, Third Party Services, but solely to the extent that such IP Claim would have been avoided without such combination; and/or (iii) any IP Claim arising or related to, the Customer Data or to any events giving rise to Customerโs indemnity obligations under Section 16.1 above. Without derogating from the foregoing defense and indemnification obligation, if lutinx.com believes that the Services, or any part thereof, may so infringe, then lutinx.com may in its sole discretion: (a) obtain (at no additional cost to you) the right to continue to use the Services; (b) replace or modify the allegedly infringing part of the Services so that it becomes non-infringing while giving substantially equivalent performance; or (c) if lutinx.com determines that the foregoing remedies are not reasonably available, then lutinx.com may require that use of the (allegedly) infringing Services (or part thereof) shall cease and in such an event, Customer shall receive a prorated refund of any Fees paid for the unused portion of the Subscription Term. THIS SECTION 16.2 STATES lutinx.comโS SOLE AND ENTIRE LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, FOR ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION BY lutinx.com AND/OR ITS SERVICES AND UNDERLYING TECHNOLOGY.

17. Third-Party Components within Our Services
Our Services include third-party codes and libraries that are subject to third-party open source license terms (โOpen Source Codeโ and โOpen Source Termsโ, respectively). Some of such Open Source Terms determine that to the extent applicable to the respective Open Source Code licensed thereunder, such terms prevail over any conflicting license terms, including these Terms. We use our best endeavors to identify such Open Source Code, within our Services, hence we encourage Customers to familiarize themselves with such Open Source Terms. Note that we use best efforts to use only Open Source Codes that do not impose any obligation or affect the Customer Data or related intellectual property (beyond what is stated in the Open Source Terms and herein), on an ordinary use of our Services that does not involve any modification, distribution or independent use of such Open Source Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we make no warranty or indemnity hereunder for any Open Source Codes. The following copyright statements and licenses apply to discrete Services components that are distributed with various versions of the lutinx.com products: Open Source List.
18. Export Controls; Sanctions.
The Services may be subject to Switzerland or foreign export controls, Laws and regulations (โExport Controlsโ), and you acknowledge and confirm that: (i) you are not located or use, export, re-export or import the Services (or any portion thereof) in or to, any person, entity, organization, jurisdiction or otherwise, in violation of the Export Controls; (ii) you are not: (a) organized under the laws of, operating from, or otherwise ordinarily resident in a country or territory that is the target or comprehensive Switzerland economic or trade sanctions, (b) identified on a list of prohibited or restricted persons, such as the Switzerland Treasury Departmentโs List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, or (c) otherwise the target of Switzerland sanctions; and Customer is solely responsible for complying with applicable Export Controls and sanctions which may impose additional restrictions, prohibitions or requirements on the use, export, re-export or import of the Services and/or the Customer Data; and (iii) Customer Data is not controlled under the Switzerland International Traffic in Arms Regulations or similar Laws in other jurisdictions, or otherwise requires any special permission or license, in respect of its use, import, export or re-export hereunder.
19. Modifications.
Occasionally, we may make changes to these Terms for valid reasons, such as adding new functions or features to the Services, technical adjustments, typos or error fixing, for legal or regulatory reasons or for any other reasons as we deem necessary, at our sole discretion. When we make material changes to these Terms, weโll provide Customer with notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by displaying a prominent notice within the Services or by sending Customer an email. Your continued use of the Services after the changes have been implemented will constitute your acceptance of the changes.
20. Government Use.
If Customer is part of any Government agency, of any Country, department or otherwise, either federal, state, or local (โGovernment Customerโ), then Government Customer hereby agrees that the Services under these Terms qualify as โCommercial Computer Softwareโ and โCommercial Computer Software Documentationโ, within the meaning of Federal Acquisition Regulation (โFARโ) 2.101, FAR 12.212, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (โDFARSโ) 227.7201, and DFARS 252.227-7014 – U.S. Law. Government Customer further agrees that the terms of this Section 20 shall apply to Customer. Government Customerโs technical data and software rights related to the Services include only those rights customarily provided to the public as specified in these Terms under FAR 12.212, FAR 27.405-3, FAR 52.227-19, DFARS 227.7202-1 and General Services Acquisition Regulation (โGSARโ) 552.212-4(w) (as applicable). In no event shall source code be provided or considered to be a deliverable or a software deliverable under these Terms. We grant no license whatsoever to any Government Customer to any source code contained in any deliverable or a software deliverable. If a Government Customer needs rights not granted under the Terms, it must negotiate with us to determine if there are acceptable terms for granting those rights, and a mutually acceptable written addendum specifically granting those rights must be included in any applicable agreement. Any unpublished rights are reserved under applicable copyright laws. Any provisions contained in these Terms that contradict any Law applicable to a Government Customer shall be limited solely to the extent permitted under such applicable Law.
21. Governing Law and Jurisdiction; Class Action Waiver and Mandatory Arbitration.
21.1. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of Switzerland without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different jurisdiction. Courts of competent jurisdiction located in Lugano, Switzerland, shall have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue over all controversies and claims arising out of, or relating to, these Terms. You and us mutually agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, lutinx.com reserves the right to seek injunctive relief in any court in any jurisdiction.
21.2. Class Action Waiver. WHERE PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND lutinx.com AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and lutinx.com mutually agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one personโs claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
21.3. Arbitration. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, you and lutinx.com hereby irrevocably agree to the following provisions:
21.3.1. Dispute resolution and Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and us arising in connection with, or relating in any way to, these Terms (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination or expiration of these Terms) will be determined solely by mandatory binding arbitration. In arbitration there is no judge or jury and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow the terms of these Terms as a court would.
21.3.2. Exception. Notwithstanding clause 21.3.1 above, you and lutinx.com both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to seek injunctive relief in a court of law. In addition to the above, notwithstanding clause 21.3.1 above, lutinx.com may file a suit in a court of law against you to address intellectual property infringement claims.
21.3.3. Arbitration Process Rules. Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. Any arbitration between you and us will be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (โICCโ) then in force (โICC Rulesโ) by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules. The arbitration will take place in Lugano (Switzerland), and shall be conducted in the English language and unless otherwise required by a mandatory law of any jurisdiction, the law to be applied in any arbitration shall be the law of Switzerland, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted on an expedited basis and shall result in an award within no more than 60 days. The arbitration shall be conducted on a confidential basis. The award of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. The arbitration award shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any motion to enforce or vacate an arbitration award under this agreement shall be kept confidential to the maximum extent possible.
21.3.4. Special Statute of Limitation. Any arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration within 2 years after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should know of the act, omission, or default giving rise to the claim; and there shall be no right to any remedy for any claim not asserted within that time period. If applicable law prohibits such a limitation period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest period permitted by applicable Law.
21.3.5. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or if we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (โDispute Noticeโ). The Dispute Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Dispute Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Without derogating from the generality of the confidentiality protection under clause 21.3.3 above, all documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitratorโs decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable Law. Except as required to enforce the arbitratorโs decision and award, neither you nor us shall make any public announcement or public comment or originate any publicity concerning the arbitration, including, but not limited to, the fact that the parties are in dispute, the existence of the arbitration, or any decision or award of the arbitrator.
22. General Provisions.
22.1. Interpretations. Any heading, caption, or section title contained herein, and/or any explanation or summary columns, is provided only for convenience, and in no way alters and/or amend the provisions within the Terms nor shall it legally bind us in any way. These Terms are written in English, and translated into other languages for your convenience. If a translated (non-English) version of these Terms conflicts in any way with their English version, the provisions of the English version shall prevail.
22.2. Force Majeure.
