3.4 Customers are responsible for paying all taxes applicable to the fees and charges in any applicable jurisdiction. If Dovico has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which the Customer is responsible, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by the Customer in addition to the fees.

Dovico may suspend or cancel the Services if a Customer does not pay any amounts owed in full and on time.

3.9 Payment and Billing: For the purposes of billing, please note that we charge based on the total count of registered licenses, irrespective of whether they are actively used or activated. This means that even if a portion of your registered licenses is not in use or activated, you will still be billed for the total number initially registered under your account. We encourage our users to plan their license registration accordingly to ensure cost-effectiveness.

4.6 Termination or expiry of this Agreement for whatever reason shall not affect the accrued rights of the parties.

16.3 The courts of New Brunswick, Canada shall have exclusive jurisdiction for the settlement of all disputes arising under this Agreement.
