12. PAYMENT PLAN AND TERMS
a. Your subscription to the Service renews automatically for the same term selected upon initial payment (e.g., month-to-month, annual, etc.). You may change your subscription term at any time by contacting PE using one of the methods set forth in below. The subscription fee will be charged to the credit card last used by you, and your credit card will be charged once a month for monthly subscriptions and annually for annual subscriptions (the “Subscription Fees”). If your credit card cannot be charged, PE will notify You and You will need to update your payment information. In the event You do not update your payment information within three (3) days of PE’s notice, your access to the Service may be suspended and You will need to update your card information in order to resume use of the Service.
b. If You would like the payment for the renewal to be made through a different credit card or alternative payment process or if You do not wish to renew the subscription, You agree to inform PE at least seven (7) days prior to the renewal date.
c. All Subscription Fees are nonrefundable. Without limiting the foregoing, no refunds or credits will be issued for partial periods of Service or refunds for periods unused with an active subscription.
d. The Subscription Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and Subscriber shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties. Subscriber will be billed, and payments will be made, in U.S. dollars. If Subscriber believes the bill is incorrect, the Subscriber must contact PE in writing within fifteen (15) days of the date of the invoice containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit.
e. In addition to any other rights granted to PE herein, PE reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and Subscriber’s access to the Service if Subscriber’s account becomes delinquent and is uncured for a period of fifteen (15) days. Delinquent invoices are subject to interest of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on any outstanding balance or the maximum permitted by Law, whichever is less, from the date due, plus all expenses of collection. Subscriber will continue to be charged for Subscription Fees during any period of Service suspension.
f. PE may increase the Subscription Fees from time to time, and any increase during the term of your subscription will be applicable at the time of renewal of your subscription to the Service. In addition, PE reserves the right to charge for use of Services that are currently available free of charge. You will not be charged for using any Service unless You have opted for a paid subscription plan.
13. TERM AND TERMINATION
a. This Agreement will remain in effect until (i) PE terminates your rights under this Agreement, which it may do immediately, without notice or liability, if You fail to comply with any term(s) of this Agreement, or (ii) the Subscriber cancels the subscription, whichever occurs first. Subscriber may terminate the subscription through the cancellation button on the user profile web page.
b. You acknowledge that if You breach this Agreement, PE may have no adequate remedy at law, will suffer irreparable harm as a result of such a breach, and therefore will be entitled to injunctive relief without the obligation of posting a bond. Upon any termination of this Agreement, (i) You agree to immediately cease using the Service, and (ii) your access to the Service will be automatically terminated and your user name and password will be removed. Upon cancellation or termination of this Agreement, PE may immediately delete or destroy all Registration Data that You have uploaded, submitted or entered into the Service, subject to requirements of Law. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, each party will be released from all obligations to the other arising after the date of expiration or termination, except that provisions which by their nature should survive termination will survive, including use restrictions, indemnity obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
14. INACTIVE SUBSCRIBER ACCOUNTS POLICY
PE reserves the right to terminate unpaid accounts that are inactive for a continuous period of thirty (30) days. In the event of such termination, all data associated with such account will be deleted. PE will provide You prior notice of such termination and backup of your data by email. The data deletion policy may be implemented with respect to any or all of the Services. Each Service will be considered an independent and separate service for the purpose of calculating the period of inactivity. In other words, activity in one of the Services is not sufficient to keep your account in another Service active. In case of accounts with more than one user, if at least one of the users is active, the account will not be considered inactive.
15. CHANGES AND SUSPENSION
a. Changes to the Services. PE reserves the right to make changes to the Services or any portion thereof, for any reason. Subscriber agrees that PE will not be liable to Subscriber or third party for any such change.
b. Suspension of Access. PE may suspend Subscriber’s access to or use of all or any part of the Services, without incurring any resulting obligation or liability, if: (i) PE receives a judicial or other governmental demand or order, subpoena, or law enforcement request that expressly or by reasonable implication requires PE to do so; (ii) PE believes, in its good faith and reasonable discretion, that Subscriber has violated the provisions of this Agreement; or (iii) Subscriber fails to pay any amount when due under the Agreement. Any such suspension shall not excuse Subscriber from its obligation to make the payment(s) contemplated under the Agreement to PE. If PE suspends the Service, PE shall promptly restore Subscriber’s access to and use of the Service after the event giving rise to the suspension has been resolved to PE’s satisfaction. PE may terminate the suspended account after fifteen (15) days from the first day Subscriber’s account was suspended. We will also terminate your suspended account upon your written request by emailing PE at support@populationexplorer.com. Termination of your account in accordance with this Section will include denial of access to all Services, deletion of your account information such as your e-mail ID and Password, and deletion of all Registration Data.

27. ARBITRATION
a. This Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by, and is to be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Colorado, other than such laws, rules, regulations and case law that would result in the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Colorado.
b. In the event of any conflict or claim arising out of or relating to any provision of this Agreement or breach thereof, the parties shall make a good faith effort to settle such conflict amicably between themselves. Any such conflict which the parties are unable to resolve shall be settled in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except as set forth herein. The award or decision shall be rendered by a single arbitrator. A single arbitrator shall be agreed upon by Subscriber and PE (the “Parties”) or, if the Parties cannot agree upon an arbitrator within thirty (30) days, then the Parties agree that a single arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association. Such arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Broomfield, Colorado. The award or decision through arbitration shall be binding upon the Parties and may be incorporated into and thereupon enforced as an order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any and all proceedings to resolve claims or conflicts will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action, and Subscriber agrees to this limitation as a condition of using the Service. If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, Subscriber waives any right to a jury trial. The Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law and the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 apply to this Agreement and any arbitral award granted in connection with a claim. An arbitration decision may be confirmed by any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Subscriber may opt out of the foregoing arbitration provision by notifying PE of Subscriber’s desire to opt out, which writing must be dated, signed and delivered by U.S. Mail or by any nationally recognized delivery service (e.g., UPS, Federal Express, etc.), or by hand delivery to: Population Explorer, Inc., Attn: Legal, 80 Garden Center A-368, Broomfield, CO 80020, United States of America. In order to be effective, the writing must clearly indicate Subscriber’s intention to opt out of the foregoing arbitration provision, and the envelope containing the signed writing must be received (if delivered by hand) or postmarked within thirty (30) days of the date this Agreement is executed by You. Should Subscriber not opt out of the foregoing arbitration provision within such thirty (30) day period, Subscriber shall be bound by the terms of the foregoing arbitration provision. Subscriber has the right to consult with counsel of Subscriber’s choice concerning the foregoing arbitration provision.
28. COMPLETE AGREEMENT
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement binding between You and PE with respect to your use of the Service and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, whether written or oral, regarding such subject matter.
29. MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT
PE reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify this Agreement at any time upon notice to You, including by posting a revised version of this Agreement on the Service. Any such modified Agreement will be effective immediately upon being made available to You, and your continued use of the Service thereafter constitutes your affirmative acceptance of such modified Agreement. Otherwise, the terms of this Agreement may not be modified, in whole or in part, except by written agreement executed by an authorized signatory of PE.

However, You will not be able to opt-out from receiving service announcements and administrative messages.
31. MISCELLANEOUS
Any remedy of PE set forth in this Agreement is in addition to any other remedy afforded to PE under applicable Law or otherwise. PE’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, then that provision is to be construed either by modifying it to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable (if permitted by Law) or by disregarding it (if not). If an unenforceable provision is modified or disregarded in accordance with this Section, the rest of the Agreement is to remain in effect as written, and the unenforceable provision is to remain as written in any circumstances other than those in which the provision is held to be unenforceable. You may not assign or otherwise transfer any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement without PE’s prior written consent. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. PE may freely assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to, and be binding upon, the approved successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the parties. This Agreement does not and is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than You and PE. For all purposes of this Agreement, the words “including” and “includes” mean inclusion without limitation.
