5. SERVICE SUBSCRIPTION, FEES AND PAYMENT 

• 5.1 SUBSCRIPTION - Services which provide access and use of a software application are billed as a per User subscription. Use of a User subscription is determined by whether a User is enabled within the software application, which the Customer and Orna Administrators control. If a User is enabled within the system then they are considered to be using the subscription, regardless of whether the User even logged into the system. To discontinue a User's subscription, an Orna Administrator should disable the relevant Users within the 'admin' module of the system. To terminate the Customer's collective subscriptions, see the cancellation, suspension, and termination section of these Terms.

• 5.2 PRICE - Unless otherwise agreed by an authorized employee of Kerkton Security Technologies, prices are in US Dollars and are as written on our Website, excluding taxes, fees, and discounts.

• 5.3 BILLING & PAYMENT TERMS - The billing cycle for subscriptions are every calendar month and the Customer will be billed at the beginning and/or end of every billing cycle based on their subscription. Services which are not subscriptions will be billed prior to the delivery of any Services or based on a prior agreement between Kerkton Security Technologies and You. For subscriptions created after September 1, 2021, billing is done per user pro-rata. So, for example, if the month has 30 days and the User was active for 15 days, then that User will be charged for 50% (15 days / 30 days) of the full subscription price. Bills will not pro-rata for hours, so any subscription added or removed will be charged for that entire day. Payment Terms are net thirty (30) days. Interest at the rate of 2% per month will be charged on past due accounts (26.8% per annum).

• 5.4 TAXES - Any and all taxes which Kerkton Security Technologies is required to pay, to collect, or to reimburse to others resulting from this agreement including the use or sale of our subscriptions or Services to You shall be the Customer's responsibility to pay.

During this trial period, You are not required to enter payment information in order to trail Orna for legitimate business purposes. Kerkton Security Technologies may, at its own discretion, reject free trial requests or extend free trial periods. Kerkton Security Technologies recommends You do enter in payment information if you want to continue using Orna past the trial period with interruptions. Payment will begin after the trial period ends and not when payment information is entered.

6. CANCELLATION, SUSPENSION, AND TERMINATION - The Customer may cancel at any time by discontinuing use of our Services by cancelling their subscription. Use of the Service is determined by whether a User is enabled within the system or a subscription is active.

Kerkton Security Technologies may suspend and/or terminate Your account without notice should You violate these Terms or for any other reason deemed appropriate by Kerkton Security Technologies at our sole discretion.
