Payments must be made in advance. All amounts paid are nonrefundable. Pilotbase reserves the right to modify its fees and charges and to introduce new charges at any time, upon at least thirty (30) days prior notice to you, which notice may be provided by e-mail.

5. Non-Payment and Suspension.
In addition to any other rights granted to Pilotbase under this Subscription Agreement, Pilotbase reserves the right to suspend your access to the Service or terminate this Subscription Agreement if your Account becomes delinquent. Delinquent invoices are subject to interest of 1.0% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. You shall continue to be charged for the Service for any period of suspension. If you or Pilotbase initiates termination of this Subscription Agreement, you will be obligated to pay the balance due on your Account computed in accordance with the Billing and Renewal section above. You agree that Pilotbase may charge such unpaid fees to your payment method on file or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees. If you prepay on a periodic basis other than annually, Pilotbase retains the right to require you to pay on an annual basis if your payment method on file has been declined more than twice during a calendar year. Pilotbase reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee in the event you are suspended and thereafter request access to the Service. You agree and acknowledge that Pilotbase has no obligation to retain Customer Data and that such Customer Data may be irretrievably deleted if your Account is thirty (30) days or more delinquent.

You may terminate an Order Form in accordance with its terms, and you may terminate this Subscription Agreement upon at least sixty (60) days’ written notice if there are no Order Forms outstanding on the date of such termination. There are no refunds for subscription payments.

In addition, Pilotbase may terminate a “free trial” Account at any time in its sole discretion. You agree and acknowledge that Pilotbase has no obligation to retain the Customer Data and may delete such Customer Data at any time after termination of this Subscription Agreement for any reason.

Pilotbase, in its sole and absolute discretion, may immediately terminate this Subscription Agreement if you breach or otherwise fail to comply with any term or condition of this Subscription Agreement.
6.3 All rights and obligations set forth in this Subscription Agreement that by their nature intended to survive termination (including without limitation confidentiality obligations and intellectual property) shall survive termination for any reason.

8.2 IN NO EVENT SHALL PILOTBASE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL PILOTBASE AND/OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR KIND (INCLUDING QUIET ENJOYMENT, NON-INFRINGEMENT, LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, PROFITS, USE OR OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE) ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, OR FOR ANY CONTENT OBTAINED FROM OR THROUGH THE SERVICE OR ANY CUSTOMER DATA PROCESSED ON THE PLATFORM, ANY INTERRUPTION, INACCURACY, ERROR OR OMISSION, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE IN THE CONTENT.

THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS AN AGGREGATE LIMIT AND WILL NOT BE INCREASED BY THE EXISTANCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM. Certain states and/or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental, consequential or certain other types of damages, so some or all of the exclusions set forth above may not apply to you; in such cases, Pilotbase’s liability shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law.
