Otherwise the Service shall be invoiced in 12-month terms.
10.2. Invoicing Method The invoices shall be sent to the billing address provided by the Customer.

The Customer has five (5) business days to notify a dispute to the Invoice. The five-business-day period is calculated from the date the Customer received the invoice. If there are no other means to determine the receipt date, it shall be the next business day from the date the invoice was sent by Humbol.

The indemnifying Party must not settle any claim without the indemnified Party’s prior written consent if the settlement would require the indemnified Party to admit fault, pay amounts that the indemnifying Party must pay under this Section 15, or take or refrain from taking any action (other than with respect to the Service or features). The indemnified Party may participate in a claim through counsel of its own choosing at its own expense.
16. WARRANTY; DISCLAIMERS
16.1. Performance Warranty. During the Subscription Term, Humbol warrants, for the Customer’s benefit only, that: (i) the Service will operate in substantial conformity with the applicable Documentation (“Performance Warranty”).

If Humbol receives a valid warranty claim within this period, it will use commercially reasonable efforts in its discretion to repair the affected portion of the Service or re-perform the services (as applicable). If Humbol determines this remedy is not commercially reasonable, either Party may terminate the applicable Order Form with prompt written notice. Upon termination as a result of a warranty claim under this Section 16, the Customer will receive a refund of any subscription fees it has pre-paid for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. The remedy in this Section 16 will be the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy (and Humbol’s sole liability) for any breaches of the Performance Warranty.
