9. Fees and Payments


9.1 Payment of Service Fees. Some of the Service Offerings require payment of fees. All fees are stated in U.S. dollars. Subscriber shall pay all applicable fees, as described on the Web Site in connection with such Service Offerings selected by Subscriber, and any related taxes or additional charges. All fees are non-refundable unless expressly stated otherwise on the Web Site. Subscriber represents to ArpatechOps that Subscriber is the authorized account holder or an authorized user of the chosen method of payment used to pay for the paid aspects of the Service Offerings. ArpatechOps may modify and/or eliminate such fee-based Service Offerings at its discretion. Subscriber understands and agrees that the payment for virtual goods grants Subscriber a limited license to use the virtual goods as specified on the UI. All payments are made without the right of setoff or chargeback. Subscriber will pay interest, at a rate equal to one percent (1%) per month on any undisputed amount that remains unpaid after it is due. If Subscriber fails to pay fees in accordance with this Section, ArpatechOps may suspend fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement until such payment is received by ArpatechOps. Subscriber will pay directly any taxes arising out of this Agreement or ArpatechOps’s performance under this Agreement, including applicable local, state, federal and international sales taxes, value added taxes, withholding taxes, and any other taxes or duties of any kind, but excluding taxes on ArpatechOps’s net income and all employer reporting and payment obligations with respect to ArpatechOps’s personnel. If any applicable law requires Subscriber to withhold amounts from any payments to ArpatechOps under this Agreement, (a) Subscriber will effect such withholding, remit such amounts to the appropriate taxing authorities and promptly furnish ArpatechOps with tax receipts evidencing the payments of such amounts and (b) the sum payable by Subscriber upon which the deduction or withholding is based will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after such deduction or withholding, ArpatechOps receives and retains, free from liability for such deduction or withholding, a net amount equal to the amount ArpatechOps would have received and retained absent the required deduction or withholding. ArpatechOps reserves the right to contract with a third party for the purpose of processing payments. Such third party may impose additional terms and conditions governing payment processing.

9.2 Modification of Service Fees. ArpatechOps may change its prices at any time but will provide you reasonable notice of any such changes by posting the new prices on the UI with or without notice.
