Cancellation by the Customer is governed by the service terms of the particular Partner.

5.1 Fees
The Partner shall pay to Mews all Fees specified in the Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, Platform Fees shall be paid as of the Starting Date in advance. Changes to the scope of Mews Services made through the Mews Platform may affect the amount of Platform fees payable hereunder. Payment obligations are non-cancellable and non-transferrable and paid Fees are non-refundable.

5.2 Payment terms
All Fees shall be paid as specified in the Agreement. The Partner agrees payment of any Fees be taken from the Sub-Merchant Account. If specifically agreed in the Agreement, Mews (or its Payment Services Provider and/or Member if applicable) shall be authorised to withdraw the respective funds from a payment instrument saved and pre-authorized in the Mews Account. All amounts under the Agreement are payable in currency stipulated in the Agreement. The Partner agrees that Mews may issue invoices electronically or otherwise. If the Platform Fees are payable on annual billing cycle, Mews shall issue a proforma invoice for prepayment of the Platform Fees based on the Initial Unit Quantities specified in the Agreement. Mews will issue log-in details to the production environment of the Mews Platform only upon receipt of the payment of such pro-forma invoice. The Partner agrees that Mews is not obliged to issue log-in details if the applicable pro-forma invoice is not paid. Unless otherwise agreed, all invoices issued on the basis hereof are due within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date. Payments shall be deemed to be made on the day when such payments are credited to the bank account of Mews. Any amounts not paid when due shall accrue default interest at the rate of 0.1% per day.

Both Mews and Partner declare that the consideration pursuant hereto is made upon the mutual consent of both Parties.

5.3 Taxes
Unless otherwise stated, the Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value-added, goods and services, harmonised, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (“Taxes”). The Partner is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with the Agreement. If Mews has a legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Partner is responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by the Partner unless the Partner provides Mews with a valid tax exemption certificate authorised by the appropriate taxing authority. The Partner is responsible to provide Mews with a valid VAT number and a correct bank account to enable correct billing.

5.4 Minimum Platform Fees
Mews shall stipulate in the Agreement the minimum amounts of fees that must be paid by Partners for the use of Mews Platform (“Minimum Platform Fees”). If the Platform Fees (per month) calculated as per Clause 5.1. hereof fall below the Minimum Platform Fees for any reason (e.g. the Partner changes Unit Quantities within Mews Platform), the Partner agrees to pay the Minimum Platform Fees instead, unless agreed otherwise.

5.5 Changes to Fees
From time to time, Mews may introduce changes to the applicable Fees stated in the Agreement and notify the Partner thereof. Any such notified changes will be effective towards the Partner upon later of (i) thirty (30) calendar days as of Mews´ notification of such changes to the Partner, and (ii) the starting date of the Partner´s next billing cycle. If the Partner disagrees with any such changes, the Partner may object to them in accordance with Clause 14.8 hereof.

5.6 True-ups
If the amount of the Platform Fees calculated in accordance with the Agreement during any applicable billing cycle exceeds the amount of the Platform Fees pre-paid by the Partner as per Clause 5.2. Mews shall have the right to issue a true-up invoice for payment of such additionally incurred Platform Fees.
