Subject to the limitations set forth herein and receipt by Licensor of all applicable subscription fees, Licensor grants you a personal, nonexclusive license to use the System for an Initial Term of one (1) month from the date of acceptance of this Agreement and, upon your payment of all required renewal subscription fees (which fees may be changed by Licensor from time to time before the start of any renewal period). The term will automatically renew for subsequent Renewal Terms of one (1) month each unless either party gives the other party at least thirty (30) days’ written notice of termination or has terminated this Agreement. You may not rent, lease or sublicense or otherwise transfer your rights to use the System. You agree that you will not directly or indirectly, export or re-export the System (or any portions thereof) to any other country.

The increased fee will be invoiced via email within 30 days of the end of the Initial or Renewal Term and payable within 15 days.
