7. FEES
7.1 Fees. You will pay the fees for the APIs (the “API Fees”) in the amounts set forth in and in accordance with the applicable Order.
7.2 Minimum Usage Commitment. You agree that the API Fees will include a minimum monthly payment obligation as set forth in the applicable Order and may be characterized by a fixed fee number or the number of hours being purchased (the “Minimum Usage Commitment”). The Minimum Usage Commitment is required to be paid by you regardless of the amount of hours of actual usage. You agree the API Fees will include the amount per hour of your use of the APIs to stream your Application in excess of the Minimum Usage Commitment as set forth in and in accordance with the applicable Order.
7.3 Usage Records. You agree our system records related to the usage of the APIs and/or associated Services and Systems will be the final measurement with respect to any disputes regarding the usage volume and related fees.
7.4 Payment Terms. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order, applicable fees will be due and payable on the first of each month; provided, however, if you exceed your Monthly Usage Commitment by greater than 100%, we may invoice you immediately with payment due upon invoicing. API Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable. All API Fees paid and expenses reimbursed under this Agreement will be in United States currency.
7.5 Overdue Payments. If any charges are not received from you by the due date (except charges then under reasonable and good faith dispute), then at our discretion, such charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid. If any payment owed by you under this or any other agreement for APIs is 15 days or more overdue, we may, without limiting our other rights and remedies, accelerate your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend our performance (including use of the APIs) until such amounts are paid in full.
7.6 Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, API 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 (collectively, “Taxes”). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with your purchases hereunder.

8.5 Waiver; Severability. The failure to enforce at any time the provisions of this Agreement or to require at any time performance by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or to affect either the validity of this Agreement, or our or your right thereafter to enforce provisions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a judicial or regulatory authority, the meaning of such provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render the provision enforceable.

8.6 Governing Law; Arbitration. This Agreement shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Florida U.S.A., without giving effect to: (i) the principles of conflicts of law and that body of law applicable to the choice of law; and/or (ii) the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, and/or its implementing and/or successor legislation and/or its regulations. Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be submitted exclusively to binding arbitration in Orlando, Florida U.S.A. in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and each party consents to such exclusive forum; provided that nothing herein shall prevent either party from seeking a preliminary injunction or other equitable relief in a judicial proceeding to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration.

You agree and consent that in the event of such breach, we shall be entitled, without posting bond, in addition to all other rights and remedies to which we may be entitled, to have a decree of specific performance or an injunction issued requiring any such violation to be cured and enjoining all persons involved from continuing the violation. The existence of any claim or cause of action that you or any other Person may have against us shall not constitute a defense or bar the enforcement of this Section 8.9. You acknowledge and agree that the restrictions in this Section 8.9 are reasonable and necessary to protect our legitimate business interests.
