PLATFORM TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

INCLUDING  

AVENDRA SUPPLY CHAIN SERVICES AGREEMENT 

Version 3.0 — Effective August 1, 2026 

  1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS; ORDER FORM; STRUCTURE

1.1 Parties. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you, your company, and any affiliated entities you represent (collectively, “Customer,” “you,” or “your”) and Raiven, Inc. (“Raiven,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). 

1.2 Order Form. Customer’s subscription package, subscription term, subscription fees, any one-time setup or implementation fees, permitted number of Authorized Users, permitted branches, locations or legal entities, and any optional add-on services are set forth in the ordering document signed, submitted, or otherwise accepted by Customer and processed by Raiven (each, an “Order Form”). By signing, submitting, or otherwise completing an Order Form, Customer (a) agrees to be bound by these Terms in their entirety, and (b) represents that the individual completing the Order Form has authority to bind Customer. Each Order Form is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms. No separate signature to these Terms is required beyond the Order Form or Customer’s electronic acceptance. 

1.3 Acceptance by Use. By clicking acceptance, creating an account, accessing, or using the Raiven platform, software, procurement tools, integrations, or services (collectively, the “Platform”), you confirm that you have authority to bind Customer and agree to be legally bound by these Terms, inclusive of the Agreement with Avendra therein. 

1.4 Avendra Commitment. In addition, as more particularly set forth in Section 4 below, these Terms form a legally binding commitment by Customer to Avendra, LLC (“Avendra”), which, upon acceptance by Avendra, shall be severable from these Terms and comprise a legally binding agreement between Customer and Avendra directly. Accordingly, the Agreement (as set forth and defined in Section 4 below) shall be deemed a separate, direct agreement between Customer and Avendra upon acceptance of the same by Avendra as described therein and commencement by Avendra of the Services (as defined in the Agreement). 

1.5 Components. These Terms consist of: 

  • the Order Form, together with any statement of work executed under it, setting out Customer’s package, fees, quantities and subscription term; 
  • Sections 1–3 and Section 5, governing Raiven services and Raiven Programs; 
  • Section 4, together with Schedule 1 and Exhibit A, governing the Avendra Supply Chain Services Agreement; and 
  • Exhibit B, together with Schedule A, governing the Raiven Platform Subscription Agreement. 

1.6 Order of Precedence. Each component governs its respective subject matter. In the event of a conflict, the following order of precedence applies: 

  • the Order Form, and any statement of work executed under it, solely as to package scope, fees, quantities and subscription term; 
  • Section 4, Schedule 1 and Exhibit A, solely as to Avendra Programs; 
  • Exhibit B and Schedule A, as to the Platform, subscriptions, technology, data and intellectual property matters; and 
  • Sections 1–3 and Section 5, as to Raiven Programs and all other matters. 

1.7 Changes to These Terms. Raiven may update these Terms from time to time by posting the revised Terms and providing notice under Section 3.9. Changes take effect (a) immediately, where required by law or necessary to address a security or regulatory risk, and (b) otherwise upon commencement of Customer’s next Renewal Term. Continued use of the Platform after the applicable effective date constitutes acceptance. No change to these Terms will increase fees for a subscription term already in effect. Nothing in this Section permits Raiven to amend Section 4, Schedule 1, or Exhibit A other than as expressly permitted therein. 

    1. RAIVEN ROLE, PACKAGES AND SERVICES

    2.1 Role. Raiven provides technology, procurement coordination, and supply chain enablement services. Raiven does not manufacture, distribute, or sell products (“Products”). Except for Products sold by Raiven as seller of record through a white-label storefront under Section 2.6, all Product purchases occur directly between Customer and third-party suppliers (“Suppliers”), Raiven is not a party to any purchase between Customer and a Supplier, and Raiven does not take title to or possession of any Product. 

    2.2 Packages. Raiven makes the Platform and related services available in tiered packages, currently designated Connect, Growth and Enterprise. The package purchased by Customer, and the features, support level, user counts, branch or location counts, and add-ons included with it, are identified on the Order Form and described in Raiven’s then-current package summary. Each package includes the features of the package below it unless otherwise noted. Raiven may add, modify, rename, or discontinue features within a package, provided Raiven will not materially reduce the core functionality of the package Customer has purchased during a subscription term for which Customer has paid. Features described as available in a higher package are available to Customer only if purchased on the Order Form. 

    2.3 Connect (No-Fee Access). Where Customer’s Order Form or enrollment reflects the no-fee Connect package: (a) access is provided “AS IS” and without any service commitment; (b) Raiven may modify, limit, suspend, or discontinue Connect access at any time in its sole discretion upon notice; and (c) provisions of these Terms conditioned on payment of subscription fees, including Section 3.3 (Value Assurance), do not apply. 

    2.4 Raiven Assist. Raiven may provide administrative and advisory procurement coordination services (“Raiven Assist”) in connection with Customer’s use of the Platform. The scope and level of Raiven Assist, and any associated service targets, are as identified on the Order Form or applicable statement of work, and may include procurement guidance, escalation support, technical support, and, for Enterprise, a designated strategic account manager. Raiven Assist services are facilitation and advisory services only. They do not alter the buyer-seller relationship between Customer and Suppliers, do not transfer Customer’s purchasing authority to Raiven, and do not make Raiven a party to, or a guarantor of, any quote, purchase order, purchase, or Supplier obligation. Customer remains responsible for reviewing and approving all specifications, quantities, pricing, terms, and purchase decisions. 

    2.5 Optional Add-On Services. Certain services, including without limitation purchase order logistical services, supplier performance measurement and reporting, and Raiven-powered white-label e-commerce storefronts (collectively, “Add-On Services”), are optional and are scoped, priced, and purchased separately under an Order Form or statement of work (“SOW”). Add-On Services are not included in any package unless expressly stated on the Order Form. Each SOW is governed by these Terms unless it expressly states otherwise. Supplier performance reporting covers only those Suppliers for which the Platform has captured sufficient transaction data. 

    2.6 White-Label E-Commerce Storefront. 

    (a) Description. Where Customer purchases a white-label e-commerce storefront (a “Storefront”) under an Order Form or SOW, Raiven configures, hosts, and operates an online store branded to Customer through which purchasers (“Storefront Purchasers”) may order Products. Storefront Purchasers may include Customer’s own personnel and, where the Order Form or SOW so provides, third-party end purchasers. 

    (b) Seller of Record. Notwithstanding Section 2.1, Raiven is the seller of record and merchant of record for Products sold through the Storefront. Raiven accepts and processes payment from Storefront Purchasers; determines, collects, and remits applicable sales, use, and similar transaction taxes and files the corresponding returns; and arranges fulfillment, including drop-shipment directly to the Storefront Purchaser by Raiven or its Suppliers. Title and risk of loss pass to the Storefront Purchaser as set forth in the Storefront Terms of Sale. 

    (c) Storefront Terms of Sale. Raiven publishes and maintains the terms of sale and the shipping, cancellation, returns, refund, and product warranty policies applicable to Storefront Purchasers (collectively, the “Storefront Terms of Sale”), together with the applicable privacy notice. Customer will not modify the Storefront Terms of Sale and will not make any representation, warranty, pricing commitment, delivery commitment, return or refund commitment, or other statement to any Storefront Purchaser that is inconsistent with them. Raiven’s obligations to Storefront Purchasers, including as to product warranties, returns, and refunds, are governed exclusively by the Storefront Terms of Sale. 

    (d) Customer Brand and Content. Customer grants Raiven a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use Customer’s name, logos, marks, and brand assets solely to configure, host, operate, market, and support the Storefront during the applicable term. Customer represents and warrants that it holds all rights necessary to grant that license. Customer is responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and legality of any catalog, product description, image, specification, or other content it supplies or directs Raiven to publish. 

    (e) Catalog, Pricing, and Economics. The Product catalog offered through the Storefront, the pricing methodology and who sets displayed prices, and any margin, commission, referral fee, or revenue share payable to Customer are as set forth in the Order Form or SOW. Raiven may decline to list, or may remove, any Product that is unavailable, non-compliant, restricted, or that Raiven reasonably determines presents a regulatory, safety, or reputational risk. 

    (f) Allocation of Responsibility. As between Raiven and Customer: Raiven is responsible for payment processing, transaction tax determination, collection, remittance and returns, order fulfillment, and performance of the Storefront Terms of Sale. Customer is responsible for its marks and brand assets, for content it supplies, for its own marketing and promotional statements regarding the Storefront, and for its own compliance with laws applicable to its business. Each party will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other against third-party claims to the extent arising from the indemnifying party’s responsibilities under this Section 2.6, subject to the procedures set forth in Schedule A, Section 8. 

    (g) Transaction Data. Raiven will make Storefront transaction reporting available to Customer as described in the Order Form or SOW. Personal information of Storefront Purchasers is collected and processed by Raiven as seller of record in accordance with the applicable privacy notice, and Customer will not use, retain, or request such information except as permitted by that notice and applicable law. 

    (h) No Agency. Neither party is the agent of the other with respect to the Storefront. Customer is not authorized to accept orders, payment, cancellations, or returns on Raiven’s behalf, or to bind Raiven to any Storefront Purchaser. 

    2.7 Purchase Orders and Instructions. Customer authorizes Raiven, when requested through the Platform or through Raiven Assist, to transmit purchase orders, quote requests, and related procurement instructions to Suppliers on Customer’s behalf. Customer remains solely responsible for all purchase obligations and payment to Suppliers. Raiven’s transmission of an order is not an acceptance, guarantee, or confirmation of Supplier pricing, availability, lead time, or delivery. 

    2.8 Beta and Pre-Release Features. Raiven may make features identified as beta, pilot, preview, early access, or similar available to Customer (“Beta Features”). Beta Features are provided “AS IS,” without warranty, indemnity, support commitment, or service level of any kind; may be modified, limited, or withdrawn at any time; and are excluded from any credit, refund, or remedy under these Terms, including Section 3.3. Availability of Beta Features may vary by customer, branch, and location. The warranties in Schedule A do not apply to Beta Features. 

    2.9 Automated and AI-Assisted Output. The Platform uses automated processing, machine learning, and other artificial intelligence techniques to generate supplier comparisons, category classifications, recommendations, reconciliations, and similar outputs (collectively, “Automated Output”), including Raiven Best Value™ decisioning. Automated Output is advisory, may be incomplete or inaccurate, and is not a substitute for Customer’s independent review. Customer is solely responsible for verifying Automated Output before relying on it and for all purchasing, accounting, tax, and payment decisions it makes. Raiven does not warrant that Automated Output will identify the lowest available price, the optimal Supplier, or every error or omission in any quote, order, or invoice. 

    2.10 No Guarantee of Savings. Nothing in these Terms, and no statement in any Raiven proposal, package summary, calculator, benchmark, report, presentation, or marketing material, guarantees that pricing available through Raiven Programs or Avendra Programs will be the lowest available in the marketplace, or that Customer will achieve any particular level of savings, cost avoidance, time savings, or margin improvement. Except as expressly provided in Section 3.3, Customer’s realized results are not a condition of Customer’s payment obligations. 

  1. GENERAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO RAIVEN SERVICES

3.1 Raiven Compensation and Supplier Economics. Customer acknowledges that Raiven is a for-profit entity and may receive rebates, administrative fees, allowances, marketing funds, incentives, or other compensation from Suppliers or manufacturers in connection with Customer’s purchases through Raiven Programs (collectively, “Allowances”). Raiven negotiates and retains all Allowances for its own account. Such compensation may vary by Supplier, product category, or program. Customer has no right, title, interest, or claim in or to any Allowance, and no Allowance will be shared with, credited to, rebated to, or offset against amounts owed by Customer, except where Raiven expressly agrees otherwise in writing on an Order Form. Raiven is not obligated to disclose the amount of compensation received from any Supplier, or its allowance rates, program formulas, or allocation methodologies, unless required by law or expressly agreed in writing. Nothing in these Terms establishes any rebate-sharing, allowance-sharing, or subscription-offset program. 

3.2 Fees and Payment. 

(a) Fees. Customer will pay the subscription fees, any one-time setup or implementation fees, Add-On Service fees, and all other amounts set forth in the Order Form (collectively, “Fees”), in the amounts, currency, billing frequency, and payment method stated in the Order Form. Fee amounts vary by customer and are not published in these Terms; the Order Form signed and processed for Customer controls. 

(b) Payment. Unless the Order Form states otherwise, Fees are invoiced in advance for the applicable subscription term and are due on the date stated in the Order Form or, absent a stated date, within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Where Customer has provided a payment card or bank authorization during enrollment or on the Order Form, Customer authorizes Raiven and its payment processor to charge that payment method for all Fees when due and to store and update it for recurring billing. 

(c) Non-Refundable. Except as expressly provided in Section 3.3, Exhibit B Section 3(d), or Schedule A, Fees are non-refundable and are not contingent on Customer’s usage of the Platform, transaction volume, or realized savings. 

(d) Taxes. Fees exclude taxes. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, VAT, GST, excise, and similar taxes and assessments, excluding taxes on Raiven’s net income. 

(e) Late Amounts. Past-due amounts accrue interest at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, and Customer will reimburse Raiven’s reasonable costs of collection. Raiven may suspend access under Section 3.7 for non-payment following ten (10) days’ written notice. 

(f) Renewal and Fee Changes. Unless the Order Form states otherwise, each subscription term renews automatically for successive terms of equal length unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current term. Raiven may change Fees effective as of any Renewal Term by giving Customer at least thirty (30) days’ notice before the end of the then-current term. Fees for a subscription term already in effect will not increase during that term. 

(g) Billing Disputes. Customer must notify Raiven of any billing dispute within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, with reasonable detail. Undisputed amounts remain payable when due. 

3.3 Value Assurance. Where Customer’s Order Form includes a one-time setup or implementation fee and identifies Customer as eligible for Raiven’s value assurance commitment, Raiven will refund that setup or implementation fee if, following twelve (12) consecutive months as a paying subscriber, Customer determines in good faith that the value delivered by Raiven did not equal the subscription fees Customer paid for that period, subject to each of the following: 

  • Customer’s subscription remained continuously active and all Fees were paid when due throughout the twelve (12) month period; 
  • Customer met the utilization conditions stated on the Order Form or, if none are stated, completed Raiven’s onboarding and activation steps and submitted quote or order activity through the Platform in at least nine (9) of the twelve (12) months; 
  • Customer submits a written claim to [email protected] within thirty (30) days after the end of the twelve (12) month period, identifying the basis for the claim, and participates in one review session with Raiven; 
  • the refund is limited to the one-time setup or implementation fees actually paid and stated on the Order Form, and expressly excludes subscription fees, Add-On Service or SOW fees, logistics or transaction fees, and any third-party charges; and 
  • this Section 3.3 is Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the value, savings, or return delivered by Raiven, is available once per Customer, and does not apply to Beta Features or to the no-fee Connect package. 

3.4 Data Rights and Intellectual Property. Customer acknowledges that access to and use of the Platform and related software is governed by Exhibit B and Schedule A. All right, title, and interest in and to the Platform, including all related software, technology, documentation, enhancements, and improvements, remain with Raiven or its licensors as set forth in Schedule A. 

To the extent Customer participates in Raiven Programs or Avendra Programs through the Platform, Customer authorizes Raiven to use aggregated and de-identified purchasing, transaction, and usage data derived from such participation for analytics, benchmarking, supplier negotiations, category and supplier performance reporting, program optimization, and the development, training, and improvement of Raiven’s products, models, and services, and for other commercial purposes, provided that such data does not identify Customer. Raiven will not disclose Customer’s identity in connection with such data. Except as expressly provided herein or in Schedule A, no ownership rights are transferred to Customer. 

Raiven Best Value™ decisioning is protected by U.S. Patent No. 12,327,222 B2. No license to any Raiven patent, trademark, trade name, or other intellectual property is granted except as expressly stated in these Terms. 

3.5 Customer Responsibilities. Customer agrees to: 

  • maintain accurate account, billing, and contact information; 
  • ensure that individuals accessing the Platform are duly authorized and comply with these Terms; 
  • safeguard all credentials and promptly notify Raiven of any suspected unauthorized access; 
  • maintain appropriate internal purchasing, approval, and payment controls; 
  • review and verify quotes, orders, invoices, and Automated Output before relying on them; 
  • comply with all applicable laws in connection with purchases made through the Platform; and 
  • use Supplier pricing and program access solely for legitimate business purposes related to its own Properties, and not for resale of pricing information, arbitrage, or the benefit of any third party, except as expressly permitted under Section 2.6 (White-Label E-Commerce Storefront). 

Customer remains solely responsible for all purchase decisions, product specifications, and payment obligations to Suppliers, and for the acts and omissions of its Authorized Users. 

3.6 Multi-Location and Affiliate Access. Where the Order Form identifies multiple branches, locations, divisions, or Affiliates as covered, Customer may permit those covered entities to access the Platform as Authorized Users, provided that (a) Customer remains fully responsible for their compliance with these Terms and for all Fees; (b) access is limited to the number of users, branches, locations, and entities stated on the Order Form; and (c) any additional branches, locations, or entities added during a term will be billed at the rates stated on the Order Form or, absent stated rates, at Raiven’s then-current rates. Customer will promptly notify Raiven of any material change in the number of covered branches, locations, or entities, including as a result of an acquisition or divestiture. 

3.7 Suspension and Termination of Access. Raiven may suspend or terminate Customer’s access to the Platform or Raiven Programs upon: 

  • material breach of these Terms not cured within thirty (30) days after notice, or immediately where cure is not reasonably feasible; 
  • fraudulent or unlawful conduct; 
  • misuse of Supplier pricing or program access; 
  • non-payment of Fees owed to Raiven, following the notice period in Section 3.2(e); or 
  • a regulatory, security, or compliance risk to Raiven, its Suppliers, or its other customers. 

Raiven may suspend access without terminating. Suspension or termination of Platform access does not relieve Customer of payment obligations to Suppliers for Products already ordered, or of Fees accrued and payable to Raiven. For clarity, termination or expiration of Customer’s Raiven subscription does not, of itself, terminate the Avendra Agreement set forth in Section 4, which terminates only in accordance with its own terms. 

3.8 Force Majeure. Raiven shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, labor disputes, governmental actions, internet or utility outages, cybersecurity incidents not caused by Raiven’s gross negligence, or failures of third-party service providers. 

3.9 Notices. Notices to Customer may be given by email to the primary email address associated with Customer’s account, by in-platform notification, by posting to the Raiven website or customer portal where legally permitted, or by overnight courier, and are deemed given when sent or posted, or upon delivery in the case of courier. Notices to Raiven must be sent to Raiven, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 100 Spectrum Center Drive, Suite 870, Irvine, California 92618, with a copy by email to [email protected], and are deemed given upon actual receipt. Customer is responsible for keeping its account contact information current. Notices under Section 4 are governed by the Notices provisions of Schedule 1. 

3.10 Publicity. Raiven may identify Customer as a customer and use Customer’s name and logo in customer lists and on Raiven’s website, subject to any brand guidelines Customer provides to Raiven. Raiven will not issue a press release, case study, or testimonial naming Customer without Customer’s prior written consent. 

3.11 General. (a) These Terms, together with the Order Form, any SOW, Exhibit B, and Schedule A, constitute the entire agreement between Raiven and Customer with respect to the Platform and Raiven Programs, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous proposals, package summaries, presentations, calculators, negotiations, and representations, whether written or oral. (b) No terms contained in any Customer purchase order, vendor portal, supplier registration form, preprinted form, or other document will add to or vary these Terms, and any such terms are rejected, notwithstanding Raiven’s acknowledgment of or performance under any such document. (c) Sections 1–3 and Section 5 are governed by the laws of the State of California and controlling United States federal law, and the venue, dispute, and construction provisions of Schedule A, Section 16 apply to them. (d) If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be construed as nearly as possible to reflect the parties’ intentions, and all remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. (e) Neither party may assign these Terms without the other party’s prior written consent, except to a successor in interest to its business or substantially all of its assets; Customer may not assign to a competitor of Raiven without Raiven’s prior written consent. (f) Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation, and no rule of construction applies to the disadvantage of either party as drafter. (g) All provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including those relating to Fees accrued, confidentiality, data rights, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification, will survive the termination or expiration of these Terms.

Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Section 5, the terms, conditions, representations, warranties, disclaimers, indemnities, limitations of liability, default provisions, and general terms set forth in: 

  • Section 4 (Avendra Supply Chain Services Agreement), 
  • Schedule 1 (General Terms and Conditions), and 
  • Exhibit A (Program Bundles), 

are hereby incorporated by reference and shall apply mutatis mutandis to Raiven Programs and Raiven Suppliers, with the following substitutions: 

  • “Avendra” shall mean “Raiven” solely with respect to Raiven Programs; 
  • “Avendra Programs” shall mean “Raiven Programs”; 
  • “Suppliers” shall include “Raiven Suppliers”; and 
  • “Services” shall include Raiven’s provision of access to Raiven Programs. 

5.2 Excluded Provisions. Notwithstanding Section 5.1, the following are not incorporated and do not apply to Raiven Programs: (a) Section 6 (Term) of the Avendra Agreement, including its initial term, trial period, renewal, and non-renewal notice provisions; and (b) Sections 3(b) and 3(d) of Schedule 1, being the Avendra-specific representations regarding Customer’s existing customer status and participation in group purchasing organization programs. 

5.3 Term. Customer’s access to Raiven Programs runs with Customer’s Platform subscription and is governed by the term, renewal, and termination provisions of the Order Form, Section 3, and Exhibit B. 

5.4 Compensation. For purposes of Raiven Programs, Section 1 (Compensation) of Schedule 1 is read as an acknowledgment that Raiven negotiates and retains Allowances for its own account, consistent with Section 3.1.

EXHIBIT B — RAIVEN PLATFORM SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT 

This Platform Subscription Agreement (this “PSA”) is made and entered into as of the earlier of the date Customer accepted these Terms or the effective date of Customer’s Order Form, by Raiven, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with offices located at 100 Spectrum Center Drive, Suite 870, Irvine, California 92618 (“Raiven”), and Customer. 

  1. The Raiven Platform.The Raiven platform (the “Platform”) is a Software-as-a-Service offering developed to allow Customer to search across and order froma number of Suppliers offering products and services with which Customer has affiliated by accepting these Terms. As a SaaS product, the Platform does not require any on-premise installation and is designed to run as a standalone system without integration into Customer’s systems. Where Customer’s Order Form includes integrations, mobile access, reporting, or other package-specific functionality, that functionality is provided as described in Section 2.2 of these Terms and subject to Section 2.8 (Beta and Pre-Release Features). 
  2. Authorized Users and Scope.

(a) Customer shall designate the Authorized Users who will be given access to the Platform. Authorized Users must be employees of Customer or of a branch, location, division, or Affiliate identified on the Order Form, or contractors acting solely for Customer’s internal business purposes and bound by obligations no less protective than these Terms. 

(b) Subject to the terms, limitations, and conditions of this PSA and payment of all Fees, Raiven grants Customer and its Authorized Users a non-exclusive, non-transferable subscription to use the Platform solely for Customer’s own internal business purposes and in conjunction with the Suppliers, limited to the package, user counts, branches, locations, and entities set forth in the Order Form. 

(c) Technical Support is available to Customer at (888) 272-0090 or at [email protected]. The applicable support level, response targets, and any Raiven Assist services are as identified on the Order Form. 

  1. Term; Renewal; Termination.

(a) The initial subscription term (the “Initial Term”) begins on the effective date stated in the Order Form or, if none is stated, the date Customer accepted these Terms, and continues for the period stated in the Order Form. If the Order Form does not state a period, the Initial Term is twelve (12) months. 

(b) The Initial Term and each renewal term (each, a “Renewal Term,” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”) renew automatically for successive periods of equal length unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current term. If the Order Form specifies a different renewal period or notice period, the Order Form controls. 

(c) Except as provided in subsections (d) and (e), neither party may terminate this PSA for convenience during a subscription term. Fees for the then-current term remain due and non-refundable notwithstanding any early cessation of use by Customer, except as expressly provided in Section 3.3 of these Terms. 

(d) Either party may terminate this PSA, and any Scope or Statement of Work then in effect, for “Cause” (i) if the other party breaches any material term of this PSA and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after delivery of notice of such breach; or (ii) immediately upon notice if the other party (A) is in breach of any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality, or misuse or infringement of the Intellectual Property Rights of the other; or (B) is subject to any events of insolvency, any form of voluntary or involuntary insolvency administration or liquidation, or enters into a scheme, proceeding, or voluntary arrangement with its creditors for partial discharge of indebtedness. Where Customer terminates for Cause under clause (i), Raiven will refund Fees prepaid for the remainder of the then-current term. 

(e) No-fee Connect access has no committed term and may be terminated or discontinued by either party at any time upon notice, as provided in Section 2.3 of these Terms. 

(f) Upon expiration or termination, Customer’s right to access the Platform ceases.

  1. Subscription Fees.During the Term, Customer will pay the subscription fees and all other Feesset forth in the Order Form signed, submitted, or otherwise accepted by Customer and processed by Raiven. Fee amounts vary by package, term length, user count, branch and location count, and Add-On Services purchased, and are therefore not published in this PSA; the Order Form processed for Customer controls. Billing frequency, payment method, and any one-time setup or implementation fee are as stated in the Order Form. Payment, taxes, late amounts, renewal fee changes, and billing disputes are governed by Section 3.2 of these Terms. For the avoidance of doubt: (a) where Customer provided a payment method during enrollment via www.raiven.com or its corresponding branch URL, Customer authorizes Raiven and its payment processor to charge that method for Fees when due; and (b) Raiven may adjust Fees only in accordance with Section 3.2(f) of these Terms.
