The Enterprise Plan is available to the Customers exclusively upon previous individual Agreement. The Fees as well as the Parameters per Plan are specified in the Price List and are subject to change in the same manner as these GTCs. The Fees quoted in the Price List are exclusive of VAT. The Provider is entitled to modify or change the Plans offered unilaterally; the provisions of GTCs related to such change shall apply with the necessary modifications.
  2. The Price for the services is payable for the period past (=retrospectively) based on an invoice issued by the Provider on the 1st of each calendar month for the month directly preceeding. Unless specifically agreed otherwise, the first payment of the Fees is expected on the first 1st day of the following month since the beginning of using Dotidot Application. 
  3. The actual Parameters reached within the Plan by the Customer are determined by the high-water mark method, ie according to the highest achieved state in the month.  If the actual use of the services by the Customer exceeds the Parameters defined in the individual Plan selected/ordered by the Customer in any given calendar month, the Customer is automatically moved to the higher Plan (ie. from Essential to Professional) and the Fee for the (higher) Plan is invoiced accordingly on the 1st of the next calendar month.

The Provider shall resume the provision of the service suspended pursuant to the preceding paragraph no later than the following business day after the day on which all due payments of the Customer to the Provider are paid.

  3. The Parties agree to protect the confidential information so as to prevent its disclosure to third parties, and they further agree not to disclose, reveal or make the confidential information accessible to any third parties.
  4. The obligation of confidentiality with respect to confidential information, trade secrets, etc., i.e. the obligation not to disclose such information or make it accessible to any third parties shall be maintained even after a potential termination of the Agreement for the period of at least 10 years.
