If Your Subscription Plan has the same renewal period (e.g., month-to-month or annual renewal), We will charge You for the prorated difference between Your current subscription and the upgraded one based on the number of days left in Your current Subscription Period so that Your Subscription Plan renewal date remains the same. If Your Subscription Plan is changing from month-to-month to annual, We will charge You immediately for the full annual Subscription Fee and reset Your renewal date for one year thereafter.

1.6 Downgrades

You can downgrade Your Subscription Plan or reduce Your Add-Ons during a Subscription Period in Your account, but such downgrades will not become effective until the end of Your current Subscription Period, and You will not receive a refund or credit for such downgrade or reduction of features. You must remove Team Members before the downgraded renewal Subscription Period begins. Downgrading Your SubscriptIon Plan may cause loss of content, features, or functionality of the Service available to You, and StreamYard accepts no liability for such loss.

StreamYard provides 24/7 remote monitoring of the Platform and Services, and the global help desk available 24/7 by visiting https://streamyard.com/contact.

StreamYard may increase or decrease the Subscription Fees in its sole discretion. Any change to the Subscription Fees will only become effective upon renewal of Your Subscription Plan. We will give you reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription Fees to give you an opportunity to terminate Your Subscription Plan before such change becomes effective.

2.3 Non-Renewal

2.5 Payment Upon Termination

If We terminate this Agreement or an individual Order due to Your uncured breach under Section 2.4, You must immediately pay any undisputed and unpaid fees for the remainder of such Subscription Period, in addition to any other undisputed amounts You may owe StreamYard. If You terminate this Agreement due to StreamYard’s uncured and uncontested breach under this Section, StreamYard will refund You a prorated portion of the prepaid Subscription Fees and Add-On Fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Period.

3. FEES AND PAYMENTS

3.1 Fees

The Order will specify the applicable fees for all Services and Non-StreamYard Products (if applicable), exclusive of sales, value-added, use, or withholding taxes assessable by any local, state, provincial or foreign jurisdiction, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments (“Taxes”). Applicable Taxes will be reflected in Your invoice. Except for the portion of fees subject to a good faith dispute, all fees and Taxes set forth in the invoice are due within 14 days of invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in the Order. You may not withhold any Taxes or charges or set-off any amounts due to StreamYard.

3.3 Credit Extension

We may, in our sole discretion, extend credit to You. The amount and terms of credit are subject to our periodic review.

All credit card transactions will include a credit card processing fee equal to 3.0% of the outstanding balance paid by credit card.

Therefore, in consideration for StreamYard agreeing to rely on Your Credit Card Authorization as a means of payment, You irrevocably authorize StreamYard to charge Your credit card for any Overage Fees during Your Subscription Period. If You take any action to frustrate a transaction authorized by this Agreement, then StreamYard, automatically and without further notice, revokes any credit terms or other payment accommodation which it might have previously afforded to You, accelerates Your entire account balance, and Your entire balance is immediately due and payable.

3.5 Late Fees

In addition to any applicable late fees or charges, any unpaid principal balance shall accrue interest at the rate of 2% per month, or the highest rate of interest permitted by law, whichever is lower, starting fourteen (14) days after notice to You that payment is delinquent, until the balance is paid. We may initiate a collection process or legal action to collect any money owed to us. You agree to pay all our costs for such action, including any reasonable attorneys’ fees.

3.6 Currency; No Refunds

All fees are due and payable in the currency specified by StreamYard, unless otherwise agreed. All fees are non-refundable and Your payment obligations are non-cancelable.

11. INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 In this Section 11, the following definitions apply:

“Claim” means any judicial, administrative, or arbitration action, suit, claim, investigation, or proceeding. “Expenses” means any reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred in defending a Claim or in any related investigation or negotiation, including court filing fees, court costs, arbitration fees, witness fees, and attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and disbursements. “Indemnitee” means a Party and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, employees, agents, consultants, advisors, and other representatives. “Indemnitor” means the Party providing the indemnity under this Agreement to the other Party. “Losses” means any amount awarded in, or paid in settlement of, any Claim, and expressly excludes any consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive, special damages, service replacement costs, cover damages or similar liabilities that are payable to third parties who use the Services.

If Your use of a Service has become or is likely to become, the subject of any such IP Claim, We may, at Our option and expense, (i) procure for You the right to continue using the Services; (ii) replace or modify a Service to make it non-infringing; or (iii) if options (i) or (ii) are not commercially reasonable or practicable as determined by StreamYard, terminate Your Service and refund You a prorated portion of any Subscription Fees previously paid to StreamYard for the unused portion of Your Subscription Period. We will have no liability or obligation regarding any IP Claim if it is caused in whole or in part by (x) compliance with designs, data, instructions, or specifications provided by You; (y) modification of the Services, unless performed or authorized by StreamYard; or (z) the combination, operation or use of the Services with other hardware or software where a Service would not by itself be infringing.

11.3 Customer Indemnification

You will indemnify StreamYard Indemnitees against all Losses arising out of a Claim brought by a third party against StreamYard Indemnitees: (a) alleging that Your Content infringes or misappropriates a third party’s IP Rights; (b) arising from Your breach of this Agreement, or (c) arising from or related to Your violation of the Community Guidelines or Law in connection with Your use of the Services.

The indemnity obligations in this Agreement do not apply unless: (a) Indemnitee promptly notifies the Indemnitor of the threat or notice of a Claim; (b) Indemnitor has the sole and exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, and defend or settle any such Claim; provided that Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise any claim that results in liability or admission of any liability by Indemnitee without its prior written consent; and (c) Indemnitee cooperates with Indemnitor. An Indemnitee is entitled to participate in the defense of a Claim at its own expense.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

12.1 DAMAGES EXCLUDED

Neither Party nor their respective Affiliates will be liable to the other under this Agreement, under any legal theory (whether in contract, tort, negligence or otherwise) for any incidental, consequential, indirect, special, exemplary, or punitive loss or damages; or for lost profits, lost sales or business, lost data (through no fault of StreamYard), business interruption, loss of goodwill, costs of cover or replacement, whether or not such Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

12.4 Risk Allocation

The Sections on limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, and warranties allocate the risks of the Agreement between the Parties. This allocation is reflected in the pricing of the Services and is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the Parties. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages or personal injury or death, so some of the above limitations may not apply to You. In these jurisdictions, such Party’s liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by Law.

13. GENERAL

Each Party agrees to abide by all Laws to the extent applicable to its performance or exercise of its rights under this Agreement.
