agreed upon in an Order Form or through the Online Order Center. All payment
obligations are noncancelable and all amounts paid are nonrefundable. You are
responsible for paying for all User licenses ordered for the entire License
Term, whether or not such User licenses are actively used. You must provide

automatically renew and bill your credit card or issue an invoice to you each
year or as otherwise mutually agreed upon. The renewal charge will be equal to
the then-current number of total User licenses times the license fee in effect
during the prior term, unless HRMantra has given you at least 30 days prior
written notice of a fee increase, which shall be effective upon renewal and
thereafter. Fees for other Softwares will be charged on an as-quoted basis.
HRMantra's fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing
