11. Term and Termination

1. Term.  The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and remain in effect until all Order Forms have terminated or expired, or until earlier termination of this Agreement as provided in this Section 11 (the “Term”). The term for each Order Form shall be as set forth therein, and shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods, unless otherwise set forth in the Order Form.  Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all Order Forms shall immediately terminate.  However, termination or expiration of any Order Form shall not necessarily cause the termination or expiration of this Agreement.  

2. Termination.  
   (a) Any Order Form may be terminated by Customer in accordance with Section 2.4 by providing detailed, written notice to Company within five (5) days after any modification to the Synatic Service that materially and adversely reduces the functionality of the Synatic Service, provided that:
   
   (i)Company shall have an additional ninety (90) day cure period,  or such other period of time as mutually agreed upon by the parties (“Cure Period”), after receipt of Customer’s notice to remedy such reduction in functionality;
   (ii) Customer shall fully cooperate with Company’s reasonable requests for information regarding any such reduction in functionality; and
   (iii) Such termination shall not be effective, if Company substantially remedies such reduction in functionality within the Cure Period.  
   
   (b) This Agreement or any Order Form may be terminated by Company if Customer fails to timely make any payment due hereunder and fails to cure such default within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice in writing from Company of such failure (regardless whether Company avails itself of its right to suspend the Synatic Service pursuant to Section 11.4 hereof).
   
   (c) This Agreement or any Order Form may be terminated by either Party (the “Non-breaching Party”) upon written notice containing an explanation of the alleged breach to the other Party (the “Breaching Party”), if the Breaching Party breaches any provision of this Agreement and does not cure the breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice thereof from the Non-breaching Party.  

3. Termination Upon Bankruptcy or Insolvency.  Either Party may, at its option, terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other, in the event that:  (a) the other Party becomes insolvent or unable to pay its debts when due; (b) the other Party files a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, or, if filed by a third party, such petition is not removed within ninety (90) days after such filing; (c) the other Party discontinues its business; or (d) a receiver is appointed or there is an assignment for the benefit of the other Party’s creditors. Upon termination of the Agreement by Customer due to Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency, Company shall refund to Customer any pre-paid fees previously paid by Customer for services not performed as of the date of termination.

4. Suspension of Services.  At any time during the Term, Company may immediately upon notice to Customer, and in Company’s sole reasonable discretion, suspend Company’s performance under this Agreement and any Order Form or may suspend any and all Users’ access to the Synatic Service for any of the following reasons:  (a) breach or threatened breach of Section 4.1 or Section 4.2; (b) a reasonable threat to the technical security or technical integrity of the Synatic Service exists as determined by Company in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that Company promptly recommences performance upon the cessation of the threat; or (c) if any amount due under any Order Form is not received by Company within fifteen (15) days after it was due, and Company provided written notice of same.  

5. Outstanding Fees. Termination shall not relieve Customer of the obligation to pay any fees accrued or payable to Company prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination by Customer pursuant to Sections 11.2(a), 11.2(c), or 11.3, Company shall refund to Customer on a pro-rata basis any prepaid fees paid by Customer for the remainder of the then current Subscription Term under the terminated Order Forms.  In the event of termination by Company pursuant to Sections 11.2(b) 11.2(c) or 11.3, all amounts payable by Customer under this Agreement and all Order Forms will become immediately due and payable.

6. Rights and Obligations Upon Expiration or Termination.  Upon expiration or termination of an Order Form or this Agreement, Customer’s and its Users’ rights to access and use the Synatic Service will immediately terminate, and Customer and its Users will immediately cease all use of the Synatic Service.  Company may destroy any Customer Content in its possession or control; provided, that Customer shall have at least thirty (30) days following the effective date of the expiration or termination of an Order Form or this Agreement to download its Customer Content from the Synatic Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company will not provide access to the Customer Content from Customer’s account if Company believes that such Customer Content violates the rights of Company or third parties, or if Customer has not paid all undisputed fees owing to Company.  Company shall have no liability to Customer or any third party for any termination or expiration of this Agreement.  

7. Survival.  Sections 1, 3.4, 3.5, 6, 7, 8.3, 9, 10, 11.5, 11.6, and 12 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
