  1. Subscription.
    1. Subject to these Terms of Use and the other provisions of the Agreement, Client is hereby acquiring a subscription to use the Product. This subscription and related services are acquired through Veson as an authorized reseller of the Product.

    2. This subscription is limited to the number of users at Client licensed to use the Veson Product and such other limits on number of users, storage or usage as may be set forth herein or in the Agreement. Client shall not permit usage in excess of such limits. The number of users covered by this subscription refers to the maximum number of individual named users at Client permitted to use the Product. Only named individual users may use the Product, and Client shall not permit usage of a named user’s account by any person other than the named user.

  2. Term.
    1. b. Veson may suspend Client’s subscription to the Product or terminate these Terms of Use in the event Client’s usage of the Product adversely impacts usage of the Product by other users or the system on which the Product operates or is otherwise deemed excessive by Veson in its sole judgment.

    2. c. If Client fails to pay any amount owed under these Terms of Use when due, Veson may disable the subscription until paid, charge a re-activation fee to restore the subscription, and/or terminate these Terms of Use.

    1.
