(“Faro Aviation”) to the customer executing this online transaction (“Customer”), of the products and services described in (i) the Order Form submitted in connection with this online transaction (the “Order Form”), (ii) the Service Level Agreement (as in effect from time to time and set forth on Faro Aviation’s website, the “SLA”) governing the Customer’s limited right to recover certain service credits and (iii) Faro Aviation’s technical support descriptions (collectively clauses (i) through (iii), the “Products and Services”). These Terms of Service shall be effective as of the date that Customer executes its online transaction and thereby accepts these Terms of Services (the “Effective Date”). These Terms of Service hereby incorporate by reference the SLA, Faro Aviation’s Acceptable Usage Policy (as in effect from time to time as set forth on Faro Aviation’s website, the “AUP”) and the Order Form each of which is made a part of these Terms of Service and collectively referred to herein as the “Agreement.” Capitalized terms used herein without being defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such capitalized term in the SLA or AUP, as applicable. Customer’s use of Faro Aviation’s website, Faro Aviation Network, and the Products and Services is also subject to Customer’s acceptance and compliance with Faro Aviation’s Privacy Policy which Faro Aviation hereby reserves the right to amend, alter, modify, replace or suspend, from time to time in its sole discretion. Current copies of Faro Aviation’s SLA, AUP and Privacy Policy may be reviewed or printed by Customer at the Legal section of Faro Aviation’s website. CUSTOMER HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS READ, UNDERSTOOD AND ACCEPTED THE TERMS OF THE SLA, AUP AND PRIVACY POLICY.
By submitting an Order Form online or by using Faro Aviation’s website, Faro Aviation Network (as defined in the SLA), products or services, Customer hereby agrees to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
1. Services and Monthly Commitments. Faro Aviation agrees to provide the Products and Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement beginning on the Effective Date. Faro Aviation may perform additional technical, supplemental, or professional services (other than the Products and Services) for Customer at either Faro Aviation’s published pricing rates or at rates mutually agreed to in writing between Customer and Faro Aviation. Also, Faro Aviation may perform remedial services as provided for in the AUP at the pricing set forth therein and without obtaining Customer’s consent in advance. If a Customer subscribes for any Product and Service for a term other than on a month-to-month basis, then each month of such term Customer shall pay Faro Aviation the greater of (i) the actual fees and expenses payable by Customer for the Products and Services for which Customer has subscribed for such term (based on all actual licensing and usage of such Products and Services on a monthly basis) and (ii) the Minimum Monthly Commitment. For purposes of this Agreement, “Minimum Monthly Commitment” shall be determined each month and shall mean with respect to each Product and Service subscribed for by Customer other than on a month-to-month basis, the greater of (A) the amount specified as the “Minimum Monthly Commitment” in the Order Form associated with the subscription for such Products and Services and (B) the highest aggregate monthly amount paid or payable by Customer with respect to all Products and Services subscribed to for a term other than on a month-to-month basis, during the current term for which Customer subscribed for such Products and Services. If for any month Customer’s aggregate monthly fees and expenses actually paid or payable by Customer for the Products and Services for which Customer has subscribed for such term (based on all actual licensing and usage of such Products and Services on a monthly basis) does not exceed the Minimum Monthly Commitment, then Customer shall pay the Minimum Monthly Commitment in lieu of the charges that would otherwise be due with respect to such Products and Services. All payments made by Customer with respect to such Products and Services shall be credited first towards the Minimum Monthly Commitment.
2. Term and Renewal. Unless Customer agrees to a one-year term or unless otherwise stated in an Order Form or any service description, the initial term (“Initial Term”) of this Agreement shall be month-to-month, commencing on the Effective Date and shall automatically renew (A) in the case of a month-to-month term, the first day of each month for successive one-month periods unless cancelled or terminated earlier pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement or (B) in the case of a one-year term, each yearly anniversary of the Effective Date for successive one-year periods unless cancelled or terminated earlier pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement (in each case, a “Renewal Period”). Customer agrees to be bound by the service term selected on the Order Form or via applicable promotional codes. Faro Aviation may cancel or elect not to renew the Products and Services for any reason or no reason at all by delivering to Customer a written notice of non-renewal at least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Period, as applicable.
3. Customer Cancellation or Non-Renewal. In order to cancel or elect not to renew any Product or Service, Customer must (i) submit an online service cancellation request (a “Cancellation Notice”) by completing the cancellation form provided at least two (2) days prior to expiration of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term and (ii) upon submission of the Cancellation Notice, contact via telephone a Faro Aviation customer service representative to confirm the information set forth on the Cancellation Notice, unless otherwise instructed in writing by Faro Aviation to do so otherwise. Difference Services may have a different cancellation policy. It is responsibility of the customer to properly notify Faro Aviation of their cancellation request, otherwise the service will not be cancelled and customer is liable for the charges.
CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NO PRODUCT OR SERVICE WILL BE CANCELLED, ALL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES SHALL CONTINUE TO RENEW AND CUSTOMER WILL CONTINUE TO BE BILLED FOR ALL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES UNLESS CUSTOMER CONFIRMS VIA TELEPHONE THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE CANCELLATION NOTICE AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 3 CLAUSE (ii) ABOVE.

In the event of a Customer Termination, Customer shall pay (1) all outstanding amounts payable through the effective date of such termination and (2) if the Products and Services include software for which Faro Aviation does not then provide general customer support, Customer shall pay to Faro Aviation an amount equal to Faro Aviation’s cost of such software for the entire Initial Term and any applicable Renewal Periods. If Customer terminates this Agreement for any reason other than a Customer Termination, Customer shall pay to Faro Aviation an amount equal to all unpaid Charges through the effective date of such termination and (A) in the case of any Product and Service subscribed for on a month-to-month basis, all Charges for the Products and Services through the remainder of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term, as applicable and (B) in the case of any Product and Service subscribed for other than on a month-to-month basis, all Charges for the Products and Services through the remainder of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term, as applicable, calculated based upon the then-current Minimum Monthly Commitment payable by Customer upon the date of termination.

CUSTOMER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO ANY SUCH REFUND OR CREDIT.
Upon termination of this Agreement, Faro Aviation and Customer shall have no obligations to each other, except as provided for in this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, Customer shall (i) pay all Charges and other amounts due and owing to Faro Aviation under these Terms of Service, (ii) immediately remove from Faro Aviation’s premises all property owned by Customer, including, but not limited to, immediately removing all of Customer’s data from Faro Aviation Network (including all servers owned or operated by Faro Aviation), and (iii) return to Faro Aviation all software, access keys, and any other property provided to Customer by Faro Aviation under this Agreement.

If Customer fails to pay any past due amount within five (5) days after written notice by Faro Aviation is given to Customer, Faro Aviation may suspend performance under this Agreement and if such past due amounts remain unpaid within five (5) days thereafter, Faro Aviation may terminate this Agreement. Faro Aviation may charge interest on any invoice amounts that are overdue by more than ten (10) days at the lesser of (a) 1.5% per month or (b) the maximum non-usurious rate under applicable law. Customer shall be deemed to have accepted as conclusively accurate any invoice that it has not disputed in a writing delivered to Faro Aviation within sixty (60) days of the invoice date. Customer may withhold the disputed portions of payments that are properly and timely disputed hereunder as long as it timely pays all undisputed charges that are outstanding. The parties shall work together in good faith to resolve any such disputed charge. In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Faro Aviation for any reason constituting “Faro Aviation Termination” (as defined above) or by Customer for any reason other than “Customer Termination” (as defined above), all Charges under the Agreement, including all remaining monthly or yearly fees due for the remaining portion of the Initial Term and each applicable Renewal Period, shall accelerate and are immediately due and payable.
