  5. SUPPORT AND SERVICE LEVELS

    1. Brokrete shall provide Support to Supplier in accordance with its Support Terms and shall use commercially reasonably efforts to main the service levels as provided for in its Service Level Agreement which is available below

  6. PAYMENT OF FEES AND TAXES

    1. Fees. Supplier will pay the Fees (as defined in this Section 5.1) applicable indicated in the Storefront Subscription Form including but not limited to applicable fees relating to the value of sales made through his Storefront when using all payment providers other than Brokrete (“Transaction Fees” for credit card processing), and any fees relating to Supplier’s purchase or use of any additional services such as shipping, third party party apps, API integration, implementation services, “buy now pay late” and custom feature or development services (“Additional Fees”). Together, the Subscription Fees, Transaction Fees and the Additional Fees are referred to as the “Fees”.

    2. Payment and Suspension for Non-Payment.

      1. Fees are paid in advance and will be billed monthly in thirty (30) day intervals (each such date, a “Billing Date”). Supplier will be charged on each Billing Date for all outstanding Fees that have not previously been charged. Fees will appear on an invoice, which will be sent to Supplier via the Primary Email Address provided. Payment obligations are non-cancellable and non-refundable.

      2. Supplier must keep a valid payment method on file with Brokrete to pay for all incurred and recurring Fees. Brokrete will charge the applicable Fees to any valid payment method that the Supplier authorizes (“Authorized Payment Method”), and Brokrete will continue to charge the Authorized Payment Method for applicable Fees until this Agreement is terminated and any and all outstanding Fees have been paid in full.

      3. If Brokrete is not able to process payment of the Fees using the provided Authorized Payment Method, we will contact Supplier in writing and make a second attempt to process payment using another Authorized Payment Method. If the second attempt is not successful, we will make a final attempt within twenty (20) days following the second attempt. If our final attempt is not successful, Brokrete may immediately suspend and revoke access to the Supplier’s Account and use of the Brokrete Storefront Platform. Supplier’s Account will be reactivated upon his payment of any outstanding Fees, plus the Fees applicable to his next billing cycle. If Supplier is unable to cure such non-payment within sixty (60) days following the date of suspension, Brokrete reserves the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 14. Brokrete will not be liable to Supplier or to any third party for any claims or arising from or related to suspension of the Brokrete Storefront Platform resulting from Supplier’s non-payment. Any suspension of the rights hereunder by Company under the preceding sentence shall not excuse Customer from its obligation to make all payment(s) under the Agreement.

    3. Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.3, the Fees payable by Supplier to Brokrete do not include any taxes and fees (including, but not limited to, any applicable withholding taxes and VAT or any other tax or fee) levied by any duly constituted taxing authority against the fees payable by Supplier to Brokrete (“Taxes”). Supplier shall be solely responsible for the calculation and payment of any such taxes to the relevant taxing authority, and shall not reduce the amount of the fees payable for such tax payment. It is specifically understood and agreed that Supplier shall to the full extent allowed by applicable law self-assess any required Taxes, but if under applicable law any sum cannot be paid to Brokrete without a deduction or withholding, then Brokrete may in its discretion upon written notice to Supplier require Supplier to increase such payments due to Brokrete such that the net amounts received by Brokrete after such deduction or withholding (and the payment of any other amount that must be deducted or withheld as a result of such increase) shall be equivalent to the full amount that Brokrete would have received had such payments not been subject to any deduction or withholding. Supplier shall promptly provide to Brokrete full written documentation acceptable to Brokrete showing proof of payment of such withholding taxes together with Reseller’s calculation of such Taxes. For clarity, Brokrete is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.

    4. Overdue Charges. Any payment not received from Supplier by the due date may accrue (except with respect to charges then subject to a reasonable and good faith dispute), at Brokrete’s discretion, late charges at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month (19.57% per annum), or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid.

    5. Payment Disputes. Supplier shall have two (2) weeks from the Billing Date to provide notice to Brokrete in regards to any payment dispute. Brokrete will not exercise its rights under Section 5.2 hereof if Supplier is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.

    6. Bookkeeping. Supplier agrees to maintain complete and accurate records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles during the Term and for a period of one (1) year after the termination or expiration of the Supplier Terms and Conditions with respect to matters necessary for accurately determining amounts due hereunder.
