Except as otherwise provided, all fees are quoted and payable in United States dollars. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form, fees are based on the Products purchased and not actual usage, payment obligations are non-cancelable, and fees paid are non-refundable. In the event that Customer is purchasing a subscription based on the number of individual Users and/or connections, and Customer’s actual usage exceeds the number of individual Users and/or connections purchased by Customer, overage charges shall apply and Ping Identity shall collect such charges upon expiration of the current term.
4.2 Invoicing & Payment. If available, Customer may elect to pay Fees upfront during the registration process.

Unless otherwise stated in an Order Form, charges are due net thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoice. Customer is responsible for maintaining complete and accurate billing and contact information.

For those payments that are invoiced, any payment not received from Customer by the due date may accrue (except with respect to charges then under reasonable and good faith dispute), at Ping Identity’s discretion, late charges at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid.
4.4 Taxes. Ping Identity’s invoices shall include any applicable direct or indirect local, state, federal or foreign taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including value-added, use or withholding taxes (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder, above and beyond the Fees, excluding taxes based on Ping Identity’s net income or property, unless Customer provides Ping Identity with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Unless otherwise stated, all prices set forth on an Order Form are exclusive of Taxes.
4.5 Suspension of Service. Ping Identity reserves the right to suspend the Service provided to Customer if: (a) Customer is delinquent on any payment obligations for more than thirty (30) days; (b) Ping Identity reasonably believes that suspension of the Service is necessary to comply with the law or requests of governmental entities; (c) Ping Identity determines that Customer’s use of the Service in violation of this Agreement, or the transmission of any Customer Data, poses any security or vulnerability risk to Ping Identity or the Service; or (d) Customer’s use of the Service in violation of this Agreement may subject Ping Identity or any third party to any liability to a third party. If Ping Identity suspends Customer’s right to access or use any portion or all of the Service, Customer remains responsible for all fees and charges Customer has incurred through the date of suspension, and during such suspension if suspended pursuant to clause (a), (c) or (d) above. Ping Identity’s right to suspend Customer’s or any User’s right to access or use the Service is in addition to Ping Identity’s right to terminate this Agreement under Section 10.2.

Any such audit will be conducted during normal business hours in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with Customer’s normal operations. The audit will be conducted at Ping Identity’s expense, unless the audit reveals that Customer has failed to pay Fees consistent with its use of the Software, in which case Customer will reimburse Ping Identity for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Ping Identity in connection with such audit, together with any applicable Fees.
