The fees for the Developer Tier are waived. If you have elected to purchase the Professional Tier, You agree to provide NodeSource with complete and accurate billing and contact information. Where payment by credit card is indicated in the Order Form, or you otherwise provide NodeSource with credit card information, you authorize NodeSource to bill such credit card (a) at the time that you order the NodeSource Service or other Services set forth in the Order Form, (b) for any billing frequency otherwise established in the Order Form, and (c) at the time of any renewal, for the amount charged plus any applicable sales taxes for any renewed Subscription Term. If NodeSource, in its discretion, permits you to make payment using a method other than a credit card, NodeSource will invoice you at the time of the initial Order Form and thereafter on an annual or monthly basis (as defined by the Order Form) in advance of the relevant billing period, and all such amounts invoiced will be due within ten (10) days of your receipt of NodeSource’s invoice. Late payments shall be subject to a service charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum charge permitted by law, whichever is less.  Any fees from an authorized third party for hosting the NodeSource Service will be invoiced separately by and payable directly to the authorized third party.

3.2 Taxes. You shall pay all personal property, sales, use, value-added, withholding and similar taxes (other than taxes on NodeSource’s net income) arising from the transactions described in this Agreement, even if such amounts are not listed on an Order Form. To the extent you are exempt from sales or other taxes, you agree to provide NodeSource, upon request, with the appropriate exemption certificate.

3.3 Non-Payment; Other Suspension Rights. NodeSource may terminate the NodeSource Service if the billing or contact information provided by you is false or fraudulent. NodeSource also reserves the right, in its discretion, to suspend your access and/or use of the NodeSource Service: (i) where any payment is due but unpaid and you have been requested but failed to promptly cure such payment failure; or (ii) in the event a dispute arises on your NodeSource Account as to who at your business has authority to act or manage it and NodeSource is not promptly provided with written instructions from the interested parties associated with it that fully resolves the dispute. You acknowledge and agree that if a dispute arises as to management of your NodeSource Account, then (i) if the listed owner of the account is a corporation, limited liability company or other registered entity, NodeSource may rely on public records (to the extent available) concerning the appropriate authorized executives or managers of your entity; or (ii) if the listed owner is a dba or sole proprietorship, or any other entity for which public records of control are not readily accessible online, NodeSource may assume that the person or entity that has been making payments on your NodeSource Account has the authority to manage it. You agree that NodeSource shall not be liable to you nor to any third party for any suspension of the NodeSource Service resulting from your non-payment of Fees or from a dispute as to the management rights to your NodeSource Account.

ARTICLE IV. CONFIDENTIALITY; USE OF NAMES
4.1 Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, confidential information shall include the business terms in the Order Form, Your Data, the NodeSource Service and the NodeSource Materials, and any information that is clearly identified in writing at the time of disclosure as confidential or that should be reasonably understood to be confidential by the receiving party given the nature of the information and the circumstances of its disclosure ("Confidential Information"). Each party agrees: (a) to receive and maintain in confidence all Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other party or by a third-party; (b) not to use the Confidential Information of the other party except to the extent necessary to perform its obligations or exercise rights hereunder; (c) to limit the internal dissemination of Confidential Information to those employees and contractors of the recipient who have a need to know and an obligation to protect it; and (d) to protect the confidentiality thereof in the same manner as it protects the confidentiality of similar information and data of its own (at all times exercising at least a reasonable degree of care in the protection of such Confidential Information). NodeSource will restrict its employees’ access to your Confidential Information to only those employees necessary to successfully provide the NodeSource Service. NodeSource may disclose Confidential Information on a need-to-know basis to its contractors and authorized hosts of the NodeSource Service who have executed written agreements requiring them to maintain such information in strict confidence and use it only to facilitate the performance of their services for NodeSource in connection with the performance of this Agreement. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (1) is known publicly; (2) is generally known in the industry before disclosure; (3) has become known publicly, without fault of the recipient, subsequent to disclosure by the disclosing party; or (4) the recipient becomes aware of from a third party not bound by non-disclosure obligations to the disclosing party and with the lawful right to disclose such information to the recipient. This Section will not be construed to prohibit the disclosure of Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or order of a court or other governmental authority. The parties agree to give the other party prompt notice of the receipt of any subpoena or other similar request for such disclosure. You may, from time to time, provide suggestions, enhancement or feature requests, or other feedback to NodeSource with respect to the Software or other NodeSource products, services, or related materials (whether or not such information is disclosed or delivered by NodeSource to you under this Agreement) ("Feedback"). You agree that all Feedback is and shall be given by you entirely voluntarily. NodeSource shall be free to use, disclose, reproduce, license, or otherwise distribute and exploit the Feedback at its discretion, without restriction or obligation of any kind or nature. Feedback, even if designated as confidential by you, shall not create any obligation of confidentiality for NodeSource, unless NodeSource expressly agrees so in writing.

4.2 Credit Card Information. NodeSource uses a third party to process credit card transactions. The use, retention, and storage of any provided credit card information is governed by the terms of service of the third party provider.

4.3 Use of Names in Marketing. NodeSource may use your business name in an appropriate and acceptable manner for standard marketing promotions, provided that NodeSource agrees to cease or alter such use at your request where such use is contrary to your branding policies, could cause any brand confusion in the market or is otherwise objectionable to you. Acceptable and standard marketing promotions include, but are not limited to: client listings, press releases, surveys, interviews, reputable business publications, television, and web site presentation and promotion, etc. You may refuse use of your business name in NodeSource marketing promotions (either in advance or at any time during such use) by sending an email to travis@nodesource.com stating your refusal. You can use the following language in the email (or effectively the same sentiment): "We hereby refuse NodeSource the use of our business name and branding in NodeSource’s marketing promotions. Please remove our company name from any list you may have for such marketing use, and remove our company name and branding from any marketing promotion you may have already in use."
