7. Fees and Payment. Fees shall be due and payable as set forth on the Order Form and as otherwise required under this Agreement. Failure to pay Fees on time may result in the termination of this Agreement and/or the suspension of Your and the Users’ or Clients’ access to and use of the Software as described in Section 8. In addition, for any past due amount, NinjaOne may charge interest at 1.0% per month or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower. Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Order Form, all Fees paid or payable are non-cancellable and non-refundable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
7.1 Disputed Fees. If You believe that any invoice for Fees is in error, You must notify NinjaOne in writing of such error within 25 days of Your receipt of such invoice. Failure to provide such notice shall constitute Your waiver of Your right to dispute the invoice. If appropriate, NinjaOne shall rectify the error by reducing the amount of the next invoice following the parties’ resolution of such error, or by any other means agreed between the parties.

8.3 Termination or Suspension for Cause. NinjaOne may suspend access to the SaaS Service or terminate this Agreement with 30 days’ written notice to You if You, the Users or Clients breach this Agreement, unless the breach is cured within the 30-day notice period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if You fail to pay any amount due under this Agreement on the due date and remain in default for more than 10 days after NinjaOne gives written notice to You to make payment, NinjaOne may immediately suspend access to the SaaS Service or terminate this Agreement. In addition, NinjaOne may terminate this Agreement immediately if (i) You, the Users or Clients breach this Agreement, and the breach is egregious, uncurable, and/or would damage the Software or NinjaOne’s reputation; or (ii) if You become insolvent or if bankruptcy or receivership proceedings are initiated by or against You. NinjaOne’s decision to suspend access to the SaaS Service is without prejudice to its right to terminate this Agreement for the same cause(s) underlying the suspension.
