We use industry standard security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information, data, and/or content handled by our Products. However, you acknowledge and agree that we cannot guarantee complete security of such information, data, and/or content or that our security measures will prevent hacks, worms, bugs, trojans or such other similar devices that may allow access to or unauthorised viewing of such information, data, and/or content.
We reserve the right to charge for additional storage or fees at the rates specified on our Websites if applicable to your Order and as identified in your Scope of Use. We may impose new, or may modify existing, storage limits for the Products at any time in our discretion, with or without notice to you.
We reserve the right to make changes to the Products or part thereof, from time to time at our sole discretion, and we may from time-to-time update, add, remove, modify and/or vary any features or functionalities of the Products. Such changes shall not however, remove any material element of functionality previously available as part of the Products (insofar as such functionality relates to the intended use of the Product).
FEES AND PAYMENT
All Fees are payable in advance and are non-refundable, save as expressly stated in this Agreement.
You shall notify us immediately in the event you cease to comply with any of the restrictions applicable to any of your then current Orders. In the event we receive your notice, or we deem acting reasonably that you have exceeded the restrictions of an Order (including the number of Users permitted), we reserve the right to change your Order in accordance with Section 2, which may result in additional Fees being payable by you. We reserve the right to deduct such Fees from your original method of payment or invoice you for the additional amount.
If you made a payment for your Subscription(s) using an online payment processing service (operated by us or by one of our payment processing partners such as Stripe) you hereby authorise us to use the payment credentials provided by you for any Fees due for any Subscription Terms which are renewed in accordance with Section 2.3. Any invoices are payable within fifteen (15) days of the invoice date. If we do not receive your payment by the applicable due date, we reserve the right (a) to charge interest on all invoices presented to you which are not paid by the applicable due date at the annual rate of 10%, such interest to accrue on a daily basis from the date on which payment became overdue up to the date on which SIS receives the full outstanding amount together with all accrued interest, whether before or after judgement; and (b) to withhold or suspend your access to the Product(s) and/or terminate your Order(s) or this Agreement.

If at any time any Applicable Law requires you to make any deduction or withholding from payment of the Fees, the sum due from you with respect to such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, SIS receives a net sum equal to the sum which SIS would have received had no deduction or withholding been required.
All amounts payable to SIS under this Agreement shall be paid by you to SIS in full without any setoff, recoupment, counterclaim, deduction, debit, or withhold for any reason.
You are responsible for your own electronic funds transfers, transfer or other related service fees or charges related to payment to SIS.
