5.2 Price Changes. Resound reserves the right to change the price of your subscription-based Services at any time upon thirty (30) days’ notice to you. If you disagree with the change in price for the subscription-based Services, then you may terminate such subscription-based Services via your account settings at any time prior to the change in price becoming effective. Your continued use of the Services after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. If your subscription is annual, the price change will become effective upon renewal.

5.3 Recurring Subscriptions. All subscription-based Services automatically renew according to the subscription plan (e.g., monthly or annually). You authorize Resound to maintain your account information and charge that account automatically upon the renewal of the Services you choose with no further action required by you.

5.4 No Refunds.  Payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. You may cancel the Services at any time, but if you cancel your Services before the end of your Term, Resound will not refund any fees already paid to Resound for the cancelled Services.

If any deduction or withholding is required by law, you will notify Resound and will pay Resound any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount of payment that Resound receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount of payment Resound would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. In no event shall you be responsible for any state or federal income tax incurred by Resound, due to relationship with you.

6. Term & Termination; Suspension.  

6.1 Term.  You may terminate these Terms of Service at any time by providing at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of termination to Resound.

Resound will endeavor to give you advance notice of pending suspension or termination, unless Resound determines, in Resound's reasonable commercial judgment, that a suspension on no or shorter notice is necessary to protect Resound, its customers, or others.

6.3 Effect of Termination. Termination of these Terms of Service will not relieve a party from any accrued payment obligations. Resound will not be liable to you for any claims or damages of any kind arising out of termination of these Terms of Service or suspension of Services in accordance with this Section 6.

Resound will indemnify, defend and hold you and your Authorized Users harmless against any losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from claims that your use of the Resound Services infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of a third party; provided that, Resound shall not be required to indemnify you to the extent that the claim was caused by or related to Your Content, your use of the Resound Services in violation of these Terms of Service, or due to your unauthorized modifications or combinations of the Resound Services with and into other technologies or services without Resound’s written consent. If Resound is obligated to indemnify you under this Section 11 or if it reasonably believes it may have liability under this Section 11, Resound may, in addition to its other obligations hereunder: (i) obtain for you the right to continue using the Resound Services on a non-infringing basis; or (ii) modify the Resound Services so they are no longer infringing but of equivalent or better functionality, performance and interoperability.

11.2 By You. You will indemnify, defend and hold Resound harmless against any losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from your or your Authorized User’s use of the Resound Services, including without limitation, the violation of these Terms of Service, or Your Content.

11.3 Process. A party seeking indemnity (an indemnified party) must give the indemnifying party prompt written notice of any claim for indemnification under this Section 11; provided that, the failure or delay in doing so will not excuse an indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations except to the extent its ability to defend the claim is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. An indemnified party shall thereafter have the sole right to control the investigation, defense, and settlement of the claim at its sole cost and expense, provided that any settlement unconditionally releases the indemnified party of all liability and does not make any admissions on behalf of the indemnified party or include payment of any amounts by the indemnified party. An indemnified party may retain counsel to represent it on a non-controlling basis at its own cost and expense. An indemnified party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in the investigation, trial and defense of such claim and any appeal arising therefrom at the indemnifying party’s expense.

Continued use of the Services following the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the changes but does not affect the foregoing right of termination.

These Terms of Service shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky without reference to its conflicts of law principles or your state or country of residence. Each party hereby consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in Jefferson County, Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States of America, and you consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum. You agree you may only bring claims against Resound related to your use of the Services on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding.

You agree that any claim arising out of or related to these Terms of Service must be brought within one (1) year after the date it first accrued. If any action, suit, or legal or administrative proceeding is instituted or commenced by either party hereto against the other party arising out of or related to these Terms of Service, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs from the non-prevailing party.

15.4 Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges that a breach by a party of Section 7 (Confidentiality) or Section 8 (Intellectual Property Rights), may cause the non-breaching party irreparable damages, for which an award of damages would not be adequate compensation and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, injunctive relief, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, in addition to any other remedy to which the non-breaching party may be entitled at law or in equity. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, subject to any express exclusions or limitations in these Terms of Service to the contrary.

15.5 Third-Party Software. Portions of the Services may utilize or include third party software, open source software, and other copyrighted material.

Use of such third party or open source software is governed exclusively by their respective terms and not by these Terms of Service.  

15.6 Miscellaneous. The Order together with these Terms of Service and any other terms and conditions incorporated into these Terms of Service by reference constitutes the complete agreement between Resound and you regarding the Resound Services and supersedes all previous communications between the parties relating to the subject matter herein. If any part of these Terms of Service is found unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision(s) will be ineffective to the extent of the court’s ruling and the remainder of these Terms of Service will remain in full force and effect. Resound’s failure to enforce any rights hereunder, irrespective of the length of time for which such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver of those or any other rights.  The waiver by a party of any breach of any provision of these Terms of Service will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. Except for payment obligations, neither party shall be held responsible for any delay or failure in its performance to the extent that such delay or failure is caused by causes beyond its reasonable control. The parties' relationship is that of independent contractors.  Neither party is an agent for the other, nor does either party have the right to bind the other to any agreement with a third party.
