For clarity, this includes that, even where Customer has elected to make monthly payments under an Annual Subscription, following such a default, the remainder of the fees for the Annual Subscription period will become due in full immediately. If any amount owing under the Agreement is five (5) or more days past due, RevenueBase, Inc. may, without limiting RevenueBase, Inc.’s other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer’s unpaid fee obligations under this Agreement and the other agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Customer’s access to the Licensed Materials until such amounts are paid in full. Where Customer provides a credit card for payment of applicable fees, Customer authorizes RevenueBase to charge to such card all fees that are due by virtue of this paragraph 8.1.
8.2. Taxes. Unless otherwise expressly stated, RevenueBase, Inc.’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value- added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Customer’s purchases in connection with the Agreement. If RevenueBase, Inc. has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer are responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount will be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provides RevenueBase, Inc. with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, RevenueBase, Inc. is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on RevenueBase, Inc.’s income, property, and employees.
