(c) Renewals. Unless otherwise specified in an Order and subject to the Service, Support or Advisory Services continuing to be generally available, a Subscription Term will automatically renew at ProcessMind’s then current rates for: (i) if Customer’s prior Subscription was for a period less than twelve (12) months, another Subscription Term of a period equal to Customer’s prior Subscription Term, or (ii) if Customer’s prior Subscription Team was for twelve (12) months or more, twelve (12) months. Either party may elect not to renew a Subscription Term by giving notice to the other party before the end of the current Subscription Term.

(d) Increased Scope of Use. Customer may increase its Scope of Use by placing a new Order or modifying (by mutual agreement with ProcessMind) an existing Order. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order, ProcessMind will charge Customer for any increased Scope of Use at ProcessMind’s then-current rates, prorated for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Term.
(e) Refunds. All fees and expenses are non-refundable, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Refund Policy. For any purchases Customer makes through a Reseller, any refunds from ProcessMind payable to Customer relating to that purchase will be remitted by that Reseller, unless ProcessMind specifically notifies Customer otherwise at the time of refund.
(f) Credit Cards. If Customer uses a credit card or similar online payment method for its initial Order, then ProcessMind may bill that payment method for renewals, additional Orders, overages to scopes of use, expenses, and unpaid fees, as applicable.
9.2. Taxes.
(a) Taxes Generally. Fees and expenses are exclusive of any sales, use, GST, value-added, withholding or similar taxes or levies that apply to Customer’s Orders. Other than taxes on ProcessMind’s net income, Customer is responsible for any such taxes or levies and must pay those taxes or levies, which ProcessMind will itemize separately, in accordance with an applicable invoice.
(b) Withholding Taxes. To the extent Customer is required to withhold tax from payment to ProcessMind in certain jurisdictions, Customer must provide valid documentation it receives from the taxing authority in such jurisdictions confirming remittance of withholding. This documentation must be provided at the time of payment of the applicable invoice to ProcessMind or the Payment Provider handling the payment.
(c) Exemptions. If Customer claims exemption from any sales tax, VAT, GST or similar taxes under this Agreement, Customer must provide ProcessMind or the Payment Provider handling the payment a valid tax exemption certificate or tax ID at the time of Order, and after receipt of valid evidence of exemption, ProcessMind will not include applicable taxes on the relevant Customer invoice.
9.3. Return Policy. Within fourteen (14) days of its initial Order for a Service, Customer may terminate the Subscription Term for that Service, for any or no reason, by providing notice to ProcessMind as detailed in the Refund Policy. Following such termination, upon request, ProcessMind will refund Customer the amount paid for that Service and any associated Support under the applicable Order. Unless otherwise specified in the Policies or Service-Specific Terms, this return policy does not apply to Advisory Services.
9.4. Suspension for Non-payment. ProcessMind may suspend Customer’s rights to use Services or receive Support or Advisory Services if payment is overdue, and ProcessMind has given Customer no fewer than ten (10) days’ written notice.
