If specified in Client’s Plan, upon expiration of the Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for additional periods set forth in Client’s Plan (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless either party provides written notice to the other party of its intent not to renew this Agreement at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Term.
5.2 Suspension for Ongoing Harm. Lumi may on reasonable notice to Client suspend access to the Service if Lumi reasonably concludes that Client’s account is being used to engage in denial of service attacks, spamming, or illegal activity, and/or Client’s use of the Service is causing immediate, material and/or ongoing harm to Lumi or others. In the event that Lumi suspends access to the Service, Lumi will use commercially reasonable efforts to limit the suspension to (and only for the duration of) the offending portion of the Service and work with Client to resolve the issues causing the suspension of Service. Lumi reserves the right to charge Client for resolving such issues. Client agrees that Lumi shall not be liable to Client nor to any third party for any suspension of the Service under such circumstances.

5.3 Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement or a Statement of Work upon written notice if the other party fails to cure a material breach of this Agreement within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice from the non-breaching party describing the breach in reasonable detail. Additionally, Lumi may terminate this Agreement or a Statement of Work for any reason upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Client.
5.4 Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Client shall have no rights to continue use of the Service. If this Agreement is terminated by Client for any reason other than a termination expressly permitted by this Agreement, then Lumi shall be entitled to all of the fees due under this Agreement for the entire Term. If this Agreement is terminated as a result of Lumi’s breach of this Agreement, then Client shall be entitled to a refund of the pro rata portion of any fees paid by Client to Lumi for the base Service under this Agreement for the terminated portion of the Term. Professional Services fees will only be eligible for a refund in circumstances where Lumi terminates this Agreement for convenience under Section 5.3 and the Professional Services have not been completed at the date of termination. In such circumstances, Lumi shall refund to the Client the proportion of the fees paid for the Professional Services which were not completed at the date of termination (such proportion to be determined by Lumi, acting reasonably). Lumi shall not be required to delete or expunge data or documents that Lumi is required to retain pursuant to applicable laws or for purposes of current or anticipated litigation, audit or government investigation.
6. Fee, Payment & Taxes.
6.1 Service Fees. Client shall pay Lumi the fees set forth in Client’s Plan (the “Service Fees”) in accordance with this Section 6. The term of use for additional Users procured during an existing term will co-terminate with the end of the term for the applicable Service. Pricing for the first Renewal Term shall be at the rate set forth in Client’s Plan. If a price increase for subsequent Renewal Terms (which shall be notified to Client at least forty-five
(45) days in advance of the relevant renewal) is unacceptable to Client, Client may provide notice of its intent not to renew this Agreement for the upcoming Renewal Term in accordance with Section 5.1.
6.2 Professional Fees. Client shall pay Lumi the fees for Professional Services in accordance with this Section 6. Client shall reimburse Lumi for all reasonable, non-incidental out-of-pocket expenses that are pre-approved in writing by Client and directly incurred in connection with the Professional Services. Lumi agrees to maintain appropriate records and to submit copies of all receipts necessary to verify such expenses.
6.3 Subscriptions Fees. If Client’s Plan specifies that Client is to receive services on a subscription basis then Client agrees to pay Lumi the recurring fees on the cadence specified and shall authorize Lumi to automatically charge Client’s credit card for such subscription fees.
6.4 Prepayment. If Client’s Plan specifies that Client is required to prepay for gifts in accordance with the terms
thereof then Client agrees to pay Lumi the specified amount upfront on the Effective Date, which prepayment shall be non-refundable. For the avoidance of doubt, no refunds will be issued for gifts that are not accepted by intended recipients, however, such funds will be credited to Client’s account for future use as a prepayment. In the case of an “Organization Balance”, any unused funds will be automatically forfeited if such funds are not used within one (1) year of purchase. Prepaid funds can only be spent at GiveLumi.com, cannot be exchanged for cash, may not be used for purchasing alcohol, and may be used at the discretion of Client for gifting purposes only.
6.5 Invoices; Payment. All invoices shall be sent by Lumi to the email address associated with Client’s account or as otherwise specified by Client to Lumi in writing. All fees payable are due within thirty (30) days from the invoice date unless specified otherwise in Client’s Plan. If specified in Client’s Plan, Client may pay all fees by credit card and hereby authorizes Lumi to charge Client’s credit card according to the balance of the applicable invoice. Client acknowledges that it may receive multiple invoices depending on the nature of the services purchased from Lumi. All fees are non-refundable, except as otherwise explicitly stated in this Agreement.
6.6 Late Payment. Lumi reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the Service upon seven (7) days’ written notice to Client in the event of late or non-payment of Lumi’s invoices. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection.
6.7 Taxes. Lumi fees do not include any local, state, federal or foreign taxes, levies or duties of any nature, including value-added, sales use or withholding taxes (“Taxes”). Client is responsible for paying all Taxes, excluding only taxes based on Lumi’s net income. If Lumi has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Client is responsible under this Section 6.6, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Client unless Client provides Lumi with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

12.1 Infringement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 11, Lumi shall, at its own expense, defend Client from and against any and all allegations, threats, claims, suits, and proceedings brought by third parties (collectively “Claims”) alleging that the Service, as used in accordance with this Agreement, infringes such third party’s valid patents, copyrights or trademarks, or misappropriates such third party’s trade secrets, and shall indemnify Client from and against liability, damages, and costs finally awarded or entered into in settlement (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) to the extent based upon such Claim(s). Lumi will have no liability for Claims or Losses to the extent arising from (i) use of the Service in violation of this Agreement or applicable law, (ii) use of the Service after Lumi notifies Client to discontinue use because of an infringement claim, (iii) modifications to the Service not made by Lumi, or made by Lumi based on Client specifications or requirements, (iv) use of the Service in combination with any non-Lumi software, application or service including, without limitation, the integration or interface of the Service with any third party software or API, or (v) services offered by Client or revenue earned by Client for such services.

A party’s indemnification obligations are expressly conditioned upon the indemnified party’s compliance with this Section 12.3, except that failure to notify the indemnifying party of such Claim shall not relieve that party of its obligations, but such obligations shall be reduced to the extent of any damages attributable to such failure.
