You will not, and you will ensure that Users will not: reverse engineer or decompile the Software; translate, modify, rent, lease, sub-license, adapt, or create derived works based on the Software or Materials; nor use the Software or Materials for any use which is not purely to receive a Service. This is without prejudice to your right to distribute Software to Users in accordance with this Agreement nor any right you may have which, under any applicable law, may not be excluded by contract provided that you satisfy all conditions prior to exercising such rights, including payment of any reasonable fee.
8.1 At any time, and free-of-charge, you and Users may access the help pages on our website and contact Support.

PART 3 – CHARGES & PAYMENT
9.1 We will invoice the Charges to you monthly in arrears or as otherwise set out in the applicable Rate Sheet. We will deliver invoices by way of email, and reserve the right to issue invoices by post or in such other manner as may be agreed by the parties, to the person identified in the Order Form or otherwise notified by you to us. We may change the Charges on 30 days’ notice. The new Charges will take effect on the date set out in the relevant notice. All Charges are stated exclusive of and subject to any applicable tax (including sales tax or value added tax), duty, regulatory fee or surcharge or government levy, which will be invoiced by us and paid by you at the prevailing rate. Unless otherwise stated in the Rate Sheet(s), our invoices are due and payable thirty (30) days from receipt. You will pay invoices without any set-off or counterclaim and without any withholding or deduction unless required by law, in which case you will provide us with any document necessary to enable us to recover or obtain a credit for the amount withheld or deducted. All time-based use of the services is calculated (and charged where chargeable) at 1-minute increments.
9.2 If you have reasonable grounds to dispute any portion of an invoice, you must pay the undisputed portion, and notify us of the grounds for disputing the remainder. Our records of your usage will be presumed accurate unless proved otherwise. If such a dispute is resolved against you, you will pay the relevant portion of the invoice and interest according to clause 9.3. You waive any right to challenge invoices not disputed within one (1) year of the date of the relevant invoice, in accordance with this clause 9.2. We will issue you a credit note if we over-charge you in any invoice. Conversely, we reserve the right to issue you an invoice correcting any under- or mis-billing in an invoice dated in the preceding six (6) months, unless the under- or mis-billing was due to your breach or fraud, in which case we will invoice for the full period allowable by law.
9.3Interest will accrue and be paid by you on any sum invoiced but not paid in accordance with this Agreement from the date it is payable until payment (whether before or after any judgement) at the lower rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by law.

Each party acknowledges that it has not been induced to enter into this Agreement by any representation or warranty other than those contained in this Agreement and agrees that it has no remedy in respect of any other such representation or warranty except in the case of fraud. For the avoidance of doubt, this is an agreement for services and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is hereby expressly excluded. Each party acknowledges that its legal advisers have explained to it the effect of this clause. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, which will together constitute one agreement. A copy of this Agreement that is executed by a party and transmitted by that party to the other party by facsimile or email will be binding upon the signatory to the same extent as a copy hereof containing the signatory’s original signature.

If you do not wish to accept an Amended Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement on at least seven (7) days’ notice to us, to expire on or before the effective date of the Amended Agreement. Your continued use of a Service beyond any Amended Agreement’s effective date is your agreement to such Amended Agreement.
22. Export & Government Use
22.1 You acknowledge that some or all of the Software and Services are subject to the Export Laws, which may restrict the export and re-export of the Software and Services. You therefore warrant that: (i) our supply of Services or Software to you will not be a breach of any Export Laws; and (ii) you will not use, export or re-export the Software or Services in breach of any Export Law.
