Reddie does not warrant or support Non- Reddie Applications or other Non- Reddie products or services, whether or not they are designated by Reddie as “certified” or otherwise, except as specified in the Documentation.
4.2 Non-Reddie Applications and Your Data. If You install or enable a Non-v Application for use with a Service, You grant Reddie permission to allow the provider of that Non- Reddie Application to access Your Data as required for the interoperation of that Non- Reddie Application with the Service.

4.3 Integration with Non-Reddie Applications. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Non- Reddie Applications. To use such features, You may be required to obtain access to Non- Reddie Applications from their providers, and may be required to grant Reddie access to Your account(s) on the Non- Reddie Applications. If the provider of a Non- Reddie Application ceases to make the Non- Reddie Application available for interoperation with the corresponding Service features on reasonable terms, Reddie may cease providing those Service features without entitling You to any refund, credit, or other compensation.
ARTICLE 5 – FEES AND PAYMENT FOR PURCHASED SERVICES
5.1 Fees. You shall pay all fees specified in the Order Form. Except as otherwise specified herein or the Order Form, (i) fees are based on Software and Content purchased and not actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable, (iii) fees paid are non-refundable, and (iv) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant Subscription Term.
Reddie reserves the right to: (a) change its prices and/or fees; and (b) add or remove any products, included in Your Order Form and/or its website, at any time and for whatever reason by providing You with thirty (30) days’ advanced notice. In the event You fail to object in writing to Your new prices and/or fees, and terminate Your services within five (5) business days from the date on which Reddie publishes the notice, You will have been deemed to have accepted and agreed to pay the updated fees and/or prices. Notice may be given by a general notice on www.reddiegroup.com
5.2 Invoicing and Payment. Payment will be via credit card or electronic fund withdrawal. You will provide Reddie valid and updated credit card information, or valid and updated electronic funds information. If You provide credit card information to Reddie, You authorize Reddie to charge such credit card for the Software selected by You on the Order Form for the initial Subscription Term and all Subscription Terms thereafter, unless you provide forty-eight (48) hour notice of cancellation before the next Subscription Term. Unless Reddie agrees to otherwise, Your first payment will occur within forty-eight (48) hours of execution of this Agreement (or applicable Order Form) (the “Payment Date”) and on the Payment Date for each Subscription Term thereafter. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Reddie and notifying Reddie of any changes to such information.
5.3 Overdue Charges. If any amount is not received by Reddie by the Payment Date, or by a date otherwise agreed to by Reddie, due to no fault by Reddie, without limiting Reddie’s rights or remedies as permitted pursuant to this Agreement and relevant law, such amount may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per Subscription Term, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.
5.4 Suspension of Software and Acceleration. If any amounts owed by You to Reddie for Services under the Documentation, or amounts owed pursuant to another agreement with Reddie due to a business relationship with Reddie, are more than thirty (30) days overdue, Reddie may, without limiting Reddie’s other rights and remedies as permitted pursuant to the Documentation and relevant law, accelerate Your unpaid fee obligations under all such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, as well as suspend the Software to You until such amounts are paid in full. Reddie shall provide at least five (5) days’ notice that Your account is overdue before suspending Your Software and twenty (20) days’ notice before terminating Your Software, in addition to pursuing all rights and remedies as permitted pursuant to this Agreement and relevant law.
5.5 Hardware Responsibilities. Your responsibilities and obligations for the Hardware if leased, are between You and the leasing company, independent of Reddie, and are declared in the 1) Equipment Lease Agreement and 2) Delivery and Acceptance Forms (together, the “Lease Documents”) provided to You. Actions taken pursuant to this Agreement are independent of the Lease Documents, and therefore, a breach of this Agreement does not release You from any obligations pursuant to the Lease Documents and vice versa.
5.6 Payment Disputes. Reddie shall not exercise Reddie’s rights under Section 5.3 (Overdue Charges) or 5.4 (Suspension of Service and Acceleration) if You are disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and are cooperating diligently with Reddie to resolve such dispute.
5.7 Taxes. Reddie’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (“Taxes”). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Your purchases hereunder. If Reddie has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are responsible under this Section, Reddie will inform You of such charge, and You will pay that amount, within thirty (30) days of being informed. Failure to pay may lead to suspension of Services and possible acceleration of amounts owed, as provided in Section 5.4, unless You provide Reddie with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Reddie is solely responsible for taxes assessable against Reddie based on Reddie’s income, property, and employees.
5.8 Future Functionality. You agree that Your purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Reddie regarding future functionality or features.

The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act does not apply to this Agreement or orders placed under it. You understand that Reddie’s business partners, including any third-party firms retained by You to provide computer consulting services, are independent of Reddie and are not Reddie’s agents.
