All payment obligations are non-cancelable and all amounts paid are non-refundable, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement. All fees are payable in advance throughout the Contract Term.

All quoted prices and fees are exclusive of sales, value added and similar taxes, which Transition Development will charge or invoice as applicable, and Customer agrees to pay any such taxes applicable to its use of the Service.

5. Contract Term and Renewal

The “Initial Contract Term” shall begin on the effective date of Customer’s subscription and expire at the end of the period selected during the subscription process, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement.

Each Contract Term, unless renewed, shall end on the earlier of the applicable expiration date or its earlier termination as provided in this Agreement. Except as provided herein, a Contract Term cannot be canceled before its expiration.
