1. Services
1.1 INSTILL SERVICES
During the Term, we will provide you with access to, and use of, the Services as described in your Partner Services Agreement(s).
1.2 CHANGES TO SERVICES
We continually change and improve our Services. Instill may alter the Services at any time without prior notice. We will endeavor to provide you with prior notice if we make a change to the Services resulting in an overall material decrease in functionality of the Services. If we do make a change that results in a material decrease in functionality, you may terminate your Subscription under clause 8.4.
1.3 SUSPENSION OF SERVICES
We may limit or suspend the Services from time to time at our discretion (for example, to perform scheduled maintenance or in the event of a security emergency). If Instill limits or suspends the Services, we will endeavor to give you reasonable advance notice so that you can plan around it. However, there may be some situations, such as security emergencies, where it may not be practicable for us to give you advance notice. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to narrow the scope and duration of the suspension or limitation as is needed to resolve the issue that prompted such action.
We may suspend your access to or use of the Services following thirty (30) days’ written notice if Partner is in material breach of this Agreement or any Partner Service Agreement (including but not limited to Partner’s failure to pay Instill the fees).
1.4 THIRD PARTY SERVICES
If you use any third party service with the Services (for example, BambooHR, Namely, Slack or Workday integrations or a web browser), you acknowledge that third party service may access or use the Partner Data. Instill will not be responsible for any act or omission of the third party, including such third party’s use of Partner Data. Instill does not warrant or support any such third party service, and you should contact that third party for any issues arising from your use of the third party service.
2. Fees and Payments
2.1 FEES FOR SERVICES
Instill Services are billed as a software subscription fee on a per user, or employee, per month basis. You will be invoiced for the initial month upon Agreement execution and then monthly thereafter. Any additional users to the Instill platform, above the initial user count, will be on a prorated, monthly rate. Any decreased users from the initial user count will be credited to your account and, if applicable, refunded at the end of the term. Except as indicated in this Agreement or required by law, fees paid by you are not refundable.
2.2 PRICE CHANGES AND USER INCREASES
Instill may change its fees at any time. Any changes to fees will apply from the start of your next Subscription Term.
2.3 AUTOMATIC RENEWAL
Your Subscription for any Services will automatically renew at the end of each Subscription Term unless you cancel the automatic renewal of that Service by providing us with written notice during the current Subscription Term for that Service. To avoid doubt, automatic renewal does not guarantee that the price for Services paid during the previous Subscription Term will remain the same for the next Subscription Term.
2.4 PAYMENT METHODS
Unless otherwise agreed, payments for invoices are due fifteen (15) days after the invoice date. If you elect to pay by credit card, debit card, or any other billing method that supports automatic recurring payments, we will initially attempt to charge you using that billing method when payment is due, and payments will be considered overdue if payment is not received within fifteen (15) days of that due date. If Instill is required to initiate legal action due to non-payment of fees, Partner shall bear all costs resulting from the collection of such fees. You agree to keep your billing and billing contact information current and accurate.
2.5 INTEREST
Overdue payments may incur interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) on the amount overdue, from the date that the relevant payment was due until that payment has been received. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including lawyers’ fees) incurred by Instill in collecting such overdue amounts, except where:
(a) the overdue amounts are due to Instill’s billing inaccuracies; or
(b) you have sought to resolve a dispute using the dispute resolution process in clause 13.1 and that process is still active.
2.6 TAXES
Unless stated otherwise in the Service Order, all fees for Services exclude sales tax, GST, VAT, or other similar taxes. Except for any income taxes payable by Instill, you are responsible for all other taxes or duties payable under applicable law relating to the Services provided under this Agreement, including any penalties or interest. If Instill is required to collect or pay any taxes on your behalf, we will invoice you for those taxes unless you provide us with valid evidence that no tax should be invoiced.
3. Data Protection
3.1 PRIVACY
In the course of using the Services, you or your Users may transfer to us Partner Data containing personal data. You agree and consent to the use, transfer, processing, and storage of Partner Data in accordance with this Agreement.

3.3 DISASTER RECOVERY
Instill will retain backup copies of Partner Data made in the ordinary course of business by Instill, for the purpose of enabling appropriate disaster recovery practices.
