B. For all other Services:  The reperformance of the Services, provided that Client notifies Proximiti in writing of any defects in the Services within thirty (30) days of their performance.

6. PAYMENT PROVISIONS

6.1. Invoicing and Payment. Invoices for payment of Application Subscription and all Service Fees shall be in accordance with the applicable Order Form(s). In the absence of specific provisions in the applicable Order Form(s), fees that are fixed, such as Application Subscription and Service Fees shall be payable in advance and due in full upon the first day of each billing period and all other Services that are variable and dependent on actual usage are billed in arrears and due upon receipt. An administrative late charge of $35.00 per invoice per month will be charged for any invoice not paid by the due date and which remains unpaid each 30 days thereafter, including any electronic transaction that is declined and any returned checks. Additionally, any amounts payable by Client hereunder which remain unpaid after the due date shall be subject to a finance charge equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, from the due date until such amount is paid.

6.2. Taxes. The fees listed in the Agreement do not include taxes; if Proximiti is required to pay sales, use, property, value-added, withholding, excise or other taxes, duties, or governmental charges based on the Subscription Rights Granted or Services provided under the Agreement or on Client's use of Hosted Programs or Services, then such taxes, duties, or governmental charges shall be billed to and paid by Client. If Proximiti is found to be responsible for the withholding and payment of taxes on behalf of Client, Client agrees to indemnify Proximiti with respect to the full amount of taxes due together with applicable interest and penalties.  If Client is required to withhold any tax from any payment, then the amount of the payment will be automatically increased to totally offset such tax so that the amount remitted to Proximiti, net of all taxes, equals the amount invoiced or otherwise due. This Section shall not apply to taxes based on Proximiti's net income.

7. GENERAL TERMS

7.1. Nondisclosure. By virtue of the Agreement, the parties may have access to information that is confidential to one another ("Confidential Information").

7.2. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. The Agreement, and all matters arising out of or relating to the Agreement, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to principles regarding conflicts of laws. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or breach thereof, shall be submitted to the following procedure: (a) direct negotiation in a settlement conference to be scheduled as soon as possible after the dispute arises; (b) if no resolution is reached within sixty (60) days of the settlement conference, the parties will submit the dispute to non-binding mediation in Hillsborough County, Florida under the mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association; (c) if no settlement is reached within sixty (60) days of the start of mediation, either party may seek legal redress in a forum of competent jurisdiction.

All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing or as specifically set forth in the applicable section of the Agreement. To expedite order processing, Client agrees that Proximiti may treat documents emailed or faxed by Client to Proximiti as original documents; nevertheless, either party may require the other to exchange original signed documents to evidence an order for Hosted Programs or for Services.

7.4. Limitation of Liability. In no event shall either party be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or damages for loss of profits, revenue, data or use, incurred by either party or any third party, whether in an action in contract or tort, even if the other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Proximiti's liability for damages hereunder shall in no event exceed the amount of fees paid by Client under the Agreement for the most recent three (3) month period. The provisions of the Agreement allocate the risks between Proximiti and Client. The parties agree that Proximiti's pricing and other terms and conditions of the Agreement reflect the allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein.

7.6 Compliance with Laws. Use of the Services is subject to all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations (including without limitation those governing account collection, export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination, privacy or false advertising). Each user agrees:

A. Not to use the Services for illegal purposes;

F. Not to interfere with another customer's use and enjoyment of the application.

7.7. Other Terms. In the event any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force. The waiver by either party of any default or breach of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach. Except for actions for nonpayment or breach of Proximiti's proprietary rights in the Hosted Programs, no action, regardless of form, arising out of the Agreement may be brought by either party more than one year after the cause of action has accrued. The Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or representations, written or oral, concerning the subject matter of the Agreement. Client may not assign the Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without prior written consent of Proximiti, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; any such assignment without prior consent shall be void. Proximiti may modify the terms of the Agreement between the parties, including these Terms of Service and any incorporated Order Form(s) upon written notice, e-mail or otherwise, to Client.  Client may notify Proximiti in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of a modification notification that Client does not wish to accept the new terms.  In the absence of such written non-acceptance notification with the thirty (30) day period, Client confirms acceptance of the new terms by continuing to use the Hosted Programs and/or Services.  If Client does not accept the new terms by notifying Proximiti within the thirty (30) day period, then Client may continue to use Proximiti under Client's existing terms until the end of Client's then current term, at which time Client's Agreement will not automatically renew, but will instead terminate. It is expressly agreed that the terms of the Agreement and any Order Form shall supersede the terms in any Client purchase order or other ordering document.
