During the Contract Term and as provided in this Agreement, HubSpot will provide Customer access to the Service.
The Service shall be as selected by the Customer during the subscription process. Limits may apply to the number of Contacts, users, keywords tracked, competitors tracked, emails per month, and lead nurturing campaigns, as detailed in HubSpot’s pricing and subscription terms, currently available at http://www.hubspot.com/pricing/. Customer’s access to and use of the Service is governed by the terms of this Agreement.
HubSpot modifies the Service from time to time, including by adding or deleting features and functions, in order to improve its customers’ experience. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit HubSpot from making such changes to the Service, provided that no such change to the Services shall materially reduce the functionality of the Services provided to Customer during the Contract Term. HubSpot reserves the right to provide some or all elements of the Service through use of third party providers.
Customer can subscribe to additional elements of the Service from time to time, as agreed to between the parties, and such added elements of the Service shall, starting with the date on which the parties agree to their addition, be included in the Service provided and fees payable under this Agreement.
If Customer registers for a free trial of the Service, the following terms apply and take precedence over any contrary provisions of this Agreement: HubSpot will make the Service available to Customer on a trial basis free of charge until the earlier of (a) the end of the free trial period for which Customer registered to use the Service or (b) if Customer subscribes to the Service, the start date of that subscription. Additional trial terms and conditions may appear on the trial registration web page. Any such additional terms and conditions are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and are legally binding. During the Free Trial Period, (i) the Service is provided “as is” and without warranty of any kind, (ii) HubSpot may suspend, limit, or terminate the Service for any reason at any time without notice, and (iii) HubSpot will not be liable to Customer for damages of any kind related to Customer’s use of the Service.

3. Customer Support
Support for Customer’s use of the Service is included in Customer’s subscription fee.
Phone support for the Service is available 8AM to 8PM Eastern Time (GMT-5), Monday through Friday, excluding US national holidays. HubSpot accepts webform support questions 24 Hours per Day x 7 Days per Week at http://help.hubspot.com. Webform responses are provided during phone support hours only. HubSpot attempts to respond to webform support questions within one business day; in practice, HubSpot’s responses are generally even faster. HubSpot does not promise or guarantee any specific response time.
HubSpot shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for planned down-time for maintenance.
4. Consulting Services
HubSpot offers consulting packages to provide training and Internet marketing expertise to help HubSpot’s customers succeed. Fees for these services are in addition to Customer’s fees for the Service and are payable at the start of the engagement. Unless otherwise agreed, all HubSpot consulting is performed remotely. Hours purchased as part of a consulting package are nonrefundable and expire as set forth in the Order Form but in any case no later than 180 days from purchase.
5. Fees and Payments
The Service Fee will be as agreed to by Customer in the Order Form and will not change during a Billing Period, except as provided in this Section.
a. Price Increases. General price increases established by HubSpot will not affect Customer during a Billing Period. HubSpot will charge or invoice Customer under the new price structure, starting with the next Billing Period in the Contract Term.
b. Contact and Email Send Limit Tier Adjustments. If Customer exceeds its Maximum Contacts and/or Email Send Limit in a Billing Period, then Customer’s Service Fee will be adjusted at the beginning of the next Billing Period up to the tier price for the maximum number of Contacts or maximum monthly email sends from any prior period, and HubSpot will charge or invoice Customer for that adjusted amount. This process will continue for each Billing Period during the Contract Term. HubSpot pricing and limits will be as set forth at http://www.hubspot.com/pricing. HubSpot's determination of the number of contacts in Customer’s marketing community and the number of emails Customer sends shall be conclusive. Service Fees will not decrease, even if there is a subsequent reduction in the number of contacts or emails.
c. Overage Fees for Exceeding Maximum Email Send Limits. Customer will use best efforts to accurately calculate the number of contacts in its customer data list to purchase the subscription that most accurately fits its good faith projected number of contacts in its customer data list. HubSpot and its subcontractors will have the right to monitor or audit remotely the number of contacts in Customer’s marketing community and the number of emails sent by Customer on the Service. The Service Fee will not change during a Billing Period, unless Customer exceeds its Email Send Limit in a Billing Period, and continues to do so after notice from HubSpot, in which case, Customer’s Service Fee for the then-current Billing Period will be adjusted immediately up to the tier price for the maximum number of contacts in Customer’s marketing community and Customer’s maximum monthly email sends from any prior period, and HubSpot will promptly charge or invoice Customer for the increased amount due. HubSpot's determination of the number of contacts in Customer’s marketing community and the number of emails Customer sends in a month shall be conclusive.
d. Payment by credit card. Customer will provide HubSpot with valid and updated credit card information or bank account information. Customer authorizes HubSpot to charge Customer’s credit card or bank account for all fees payable at the beginning of the Initial Contract Term and all subsequent Billing Periods
e. Payment against invoice. HubSpot will invoice Customer at the beginning of the Initial Contract Term and at the beginning of each subsequent Billing Period. All amounts invoiced hereunder are due and payable within 30 days of the date of the invoice. Payment instructions shall be as set out on HubSpot’s invoice. Fees paid in advance are not refundable, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement.
f. Payment Information. Customer shall ensure that all details provided regarding the Customer's contact information, billing information and credit card information, where applicable, are correct and undertakes to update such information when changes to such information occurs. All payment obligations are non-cancelable and all amounts paid are non-refundable, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement. All fees are payable in advance throughout the Contract Term.
All quoted prices and fees are exclusive of sales, value added and similar taxes, which HubSpot will charge or invoice as applicable, and Customer agrees to pay any such taxes applicable to its use of the Service.
6. Contract Term and Renewal
The “Initial Contract Term” shall begin on the effective date of Customer’s subscription and expire at the end of the period selected during the subscription process, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement.
Unless either party gives the other notice that it does not intend to renew this Agreement at least 45 days in advance of the end of the Contract Term, this Agreement will be automatically renewed for a “Renewal Contract Term”, which shall be: (i) on the terms and conditions of this Agreement then in effect, (ii) subject to the pricing structure and applicable levels provided for renewal terms in this Agreement or, if not so specified, as then posted by HubSpot at http://www.hubspot.com/pricing, and (iii) for a term equal to the shorter of the Initial Contract Term or one year.
Each Contract Term, unless renewed, shall end on the earlier of the applicable expiration date or its earlier termination as provided in this Agreement. Except as provided herein, a Contract Term cannot be canceled before its expiration. Fees for each Contract Term are non-cancelable, and therefore no refunds of fees paid in advance will be made, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement.
