In no event will Customer or anyone else be entitled to any compensation or acknowledgement for SYVO’s use of any Customer Voluntary Suggestions. Customer’s provision of Customer Voluntary Suggestions is entirely voluntary and will not create any confidentiality obligation for SYVO. By submitting Customer Voluntary Suggestions, Customer hereby grants SYVO an irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, non-exclusive, fully-paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide license (sub-licensable through multiple tiers) to: (a) use, copy, distribute, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform, and publicly display Customer Voluntary Suggestions (or any modification thereto), in whole or in part, in any format, medium or application now known or later developed, and (b) use (and permit others to use) Customer Voluntary Suggestions in any manner and for any purpose (including, but not limited to, commercial purposes) that SYVO deems appropriate in its sole discretion (including, but not limited to, to incorporating Customer Voluntary Suggestions (or any modification thereto), in whole or in part, into any technology, product or service.

6. Export of Services or Technical Data

Customer may not remove or export from Australia or the United States or allow the export or re-export of the Services, or any direct product thereof, including technical data, in violation of any restrictions, laws, or regulations of Australia, the United States or any other applicable country.

7. Fees and Payment; Upgrade, Downgrade and Cancellation of Services
8. In consideration of the Services provided, Customer will pay SYVO all fees due according to the prices and terms listed on this website. SYVO reserves the right to modify its pricing and terms at any time, and such changes or modifications will be posted on this website and effective immediately upon the next renewal, billing period, upgrade or downgrade of the Services with and/or without notice to Customer. All payments are NON-REFUNDABLE.
9. All fees are exclusive of all federal, state, and/or other governmental sales, goods and services, value-added, harmonized or other taxes, fees or charges. Customer shall be responsible for all sales, goods and services, value-added, harmonized or other taxes, fees or charges.
10. Billing Policies and Cycles. All billing invoices and payment notifications will be maintained directly in Customer’s Account Portal. The billing cycle begins on the day Customer converts to a paid store (the “Billing Date”) and is due on that day each month, partial year or year thereafter, depending on the Service plan selected and billing terms for individual Services. Billing related to the purchase of SSLs or Domains are billed once these products/services have been purchased by Customer.
11. A valid credit card or ACH authorization form is required for accounts to process payment. SYVO will automatically charge Customers billing information on file on a monthly basis until Customer validly terminates the Services. Fees for prepaid Services are based on Services purchased, regardless of actual usage and payments made for such Services are NON-REFUNDABLE. SYVO DOES NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL DAYS, MONTHS OR YEARS AND DOES NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS TO CUSTOMERS WHO DO NOT USE THEIR ACCOUNTS OR LOG IN.
12. Unpaid Accounts. Unpaid amounts are subject to a late payment charge of 1.5% per month, or the maximum legal rate allowed by law, whichever is less. If payment is not received within 30 calendar days of the billing date, SYVO will automatically revoke access to Customer’s account. SYVO may or may not contact Customer directly to notify Customer of its unpaid account. Accounts past due over 90 days will automatically be deactivated.
13. Disputed Charges/Billing Inquiries. It is Customer’s obligation to review all charges for accuracy. Customer has 30 days from the date of billing to contact SYVO and/or dispute the charge. Failure to do so within the specified time frame will constitute Customer’s agreement that all charges are valid and Customer thereby waives any claims it may have had regarding such charge.
14. Should Customer elect to upgrade its prepaid Services or if such Services are automatically upgraded pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 7.7, the Billing Date of the next renewal period will remain the same; however, Customer will be billed immediately for the pro-rata portion of the upgraded Services fee for the remainder of the current billing period. For example, if a month-to-month customer is billed on October 9th for monthly prepaid Services from October 9th to November 8th, and such Customer’s account is upgraded effective on October 30th, then such Customer will be charged immediately for the pro-rata usage of the upgraded plan from October 30th to November 8th. On November 9th such Customer will be charged for the full monthly fee amount of the upgraded plan.
15. Should Customer elect to downgrade its prepaid Services, the downgrade will take effect on the commencement of the next renewal period. In other words, SYVO DOES NOT provide credits or refunds on downgrades that are effective during the applicable billing period (whether such period is a month, quarter or year). For example, if a month-to-month customer is billed on October 9th for prepaid Services from October 9th to November 8th and such customer downgrades the prepaid Services effective on October 30th, then the downgrade will take effect on the next billing date, i.e. November 9th.
16. SYVO Services will continue in effect until Customer validly terminates the Services.

Customer must notify SYVO in writing of its intent to terminate prepaid Services at least 5 calendar days before the billing renewal date. If notice is not received before such date, such Services will automatically renew for the subsequent renewal period. For example, if a month-to-month customer is billed on October 9th for monthly prepaid Services from October 9th to November 8th and such customer provides a valid notice to terminate its account on November 6th, Customer will automatically be charged for prepaid Services from November 9th to December 8th and the prepaid Services will terminate on December 8th. If the same customer provides notice to terminate its account on November 4th, then the account will terminate on November 8th and such customer will not be charged for any further prepaid Services on such account.

Customer may not utilize the Services to provide, sell or offer to sell the following: replicas; controlled substances; illegal drugs and drug contraband; weapons; pirated materials; instructions on making, assembling or obtaining illegal goods or weapons to attack others; information used to violate the copyright(s) of, violate the trademark(s) of or to destroy others’ intellectual property or information; information used to illegally harm any people or animals; pornography, nudity, sexual products, programs or services; escort services or other content deemed adult related.

For clarity, the foregoing license only allows Customer to use each licensed Design Theme for a single SYVO store/website per license purchased. If Customer desires to use a Design Theme for more than one SYVO store owned or operated by Customer, a new Design Theme license must be purchased for each such store using the Design Theme. Design Themes may only be used by a Customer and may not be transferred by Customer to any unaffiliated third party without the prior written consent of SYVO.

SYVO supports most standard shopping cart database schemes by default. Our Migration Services do not guarantee proper migration of the custom data, fields or information handled by third-party modules and/or contributions.
36. We recommend that data is migrated into a store which is not live (visible to the public and/or transacting). If for any reason you require Migration Services to transfer data into a live store we recommend that your store is placed in “maintenance mode” during the data transfer as importing large amounts of data can disrupt business flow within a live store site.
37. Our onboarding services (“Onboarding Services”) include configuration of basic SYVO store settings and is available to Customers purchasing select Service plans as described on our website or for an additional fee.
38. Unless included in a select Service plan, Migration Services and Onboarding Services are Services for which we charge a one-time, upfront fee.
