1. Privacy & Security; Disclosure

Salesforce.com’s privacy and security policies may be viewed at http://www.salesforce.com or http://www.salesforce.com.ie/ (EMEA). Salesforce.com reserves the right to modify its privacy and security policies in its reasonable discretion from time to time. Individual users (other than Salesforce Personal Edition users), when they initially log in, will be asked whether or not they wish to receive marketing and other non-critical Service-related communications from salesforce.com from time to time. They may opt out of receiving such communications at that time or at any subsequent time by changing their preference under Personal Setup. Salesforce Personal Edition users will not have the option of opting out unless they terminate their Salesforce Personal Edition account with salesforce.com. Note that because the Service is a hosted, online application, salesforce.com occasionally may need to notify all users of the Service (whether or not they have opted out as described above) of important announcements regarding the operation of the Service. If you become a paying customer of the Service, you agree that salesforce.com can disclose the fact that you are a paying customer and the edition of the Service that you are using.

7. Changes and Payment of Fees

You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. The initial charges will be equal to the current number of total User licenses requested times the User license fee currently in effect. Payments must be made annually in advance unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in an Order Form or through the Online Order Center. All payment obligations are noncancelable and all amounts paid are nonrefundable. You are responsible for paying all User licenses ordered for the entire License Term, whether or not such User licenses are actively used. You must provide salesforce.com with valid credit card or approved purchase order information as a condition to signing up for the Service. An authorized License Administrator may add licenses by executing an additional written Order Form or using the Online Order Center. Added licenses will be subject to the following: (i) added licenses will be coterminous with the preexisting License Term (either Initial Term or renewal term); (ii) the license fee for the added licenses will be the then current, generally applicable license fee; and (iii) licenses added in the middle of a billing month will be charged in full for that billing month. Salesforce.com reserves the right to modify its fees and charges and to introduce new charges at any time, upon at least 30 days prior notice to you, which notice may be provided by e-mail. All pricing terms are confidential, and you agree not to disclose them to any third party.

8. Excess Data Storage Fees

The maximum disk storage space provided to you at no additional charge is (i) 5 MB per User license for Salesforce Personal Edition, (ii) 1 GB per 5-User license package for Group Edition Featuring Google AdWords, or (iii) the greater of 1 GB or an aggregate of 20 MB per User license, for Professional and Enterprise Edition. If the amount of disk storage required exceeds these limits, you will be charged the then-current storage fees. Salesforce.com will use reasonable efforts to notify you when the average storage used per license reaches approximately 90% of the maximum; however, any failure by salesforce.com to so notify you shall not affect your responsibility for such additional storage charges. Salesforce.com reserves the right to establish or modify its general practices and limits relating to storage of Customer Data.

9. Billing and Renewal

Salesforce.com charges and collects in advance for use of the Service. Salesforce.com will automatically renew and bill your credit card or issue an invoice to you each year on the subsequent anniversary or as otherwise mutually agreed upon. The renewal charge will be equal to the then-current number of total User licenses times the license fee in effect during the prior term, unless salesforce.com has given you at least 30 days prior written notice of a fee increase, which shall be effective upon renewal and thereafter. Fees for other services will be charged on an as-quoted basis. Salesforce.com’s fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes based solely on salesforce.com’s income.

You agree to provide salesforce.com with complete and accurate billing and contact information. This information includes your legal company name, street address, e-mail address, and name and telephone number of an authorized billing contact and License Administrator. You agree to update this information within 30 days of any change to it. If the contact information you have provided is false or fraudulent, salesforce.com reserves the right to terminate y access to the Service in addition to any other legal remedies.

Unless salesforce.com in its discretion determines otherwise: (i) entities with headquarters and a majority of users resident in the United States will be billed in U.S. dollars and subject to U.S. payment terms and pricing schemes (“U.S. Customers”); (ii) entities with headquarters and a majority of users resident in Japan will be billed in Japanese yen and subject to Japanese payment terms and pricing schemes (“Japanese Customers”); and (iii) all other entities will be billed in U.S. dollars, Euros or local currency and be subject to either U.S. or non-U.S. payment terms and pricing schemes at the discretion of salesforce.com (“Non-U.S./Japan Customers”).

If you believe your bill is incorrect, you must contact us in writing within 60 days of the invoice date of the invoice containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit.

10. Non-Payment and Suspension

In addition to any other rights granted to salesforce.com herein, salesforce.com reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and your access to the Service if your account becomes delinquent (falls into arrears). Delinquent invoices (accounts in arrears) are subject to interest of 1.0% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. You will continue to be charged for User licenses during any period of suspension. If you or salesforce.com initiates termination of this Agreement, you will be obligated to pay the balance due on your account computed in accordance with the Charges and Payment of Fees section above. You agree that salesforce.com may charge such unpaid fees to your credit card or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees.
