5. ACCOUNTS
In order to access some of the Products and Services provided by PatriaCo, you will have to create an account (an “Account”). You represent and warrant to PatriaCo that all information you submit when you create your Account is accurate, current, and complete and that you will keep your Account information accurate, current, and complete.

You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your Account, whether authorized by you or not, and you must keep your Account information secure, including without limitation your client login, password, payment method(s), and any 2-Factor Authentication PIN. For security purposes, PatriaCo recommends that you change your password at least once every six (6) months for each Account you have with The Patria Company. You must notify us immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Account(s). PatriaCo will not be liable for any loss you incur due to any unauthorized use of your Account(s). You, however, may be liable for any loss PatriaCo or others incur caused by your Account, whether caused by you, or by an authorized person, or by an unauthorized person.
6. TRANSFER OF DATA ABROAD
If you are visiting any website explicitly owned and operated by The Patria Company from a country other than the country in which our servers are located, your communications with us may result in the transfer of information (including your Account information) across international boundaries. By visiting any of our websites and communicating electronically with us, you consent to such transfers.
7. FEES AND PAYMENTS
You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. The subscription charges will be set forth in the Online Order Center. Payments shall be made in one of the following ways as selected in the Client Center: i) in advance by cash, check, wire, or credit card, ii) monthly through a credit card on file with PatriaCo, or iii) upon receipt of invoice by cash, check, wire or credit card. Any subscription renewal fee will be equal to the Product or Service fee in effect during the prior term unless PatriaCo has given you at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of a fee increase, which shall be effective thereafter. PatriaCo fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties.
The Patria Company is a reseller of third-party services, for which PatriaCo is offered special pricing and is given the authority by the Third Party to extend certain savings to you, our client. PatriaCo is charged at regular intervals for these third-party services, regardless of your payment to us; therefore, failure to pay for such services on time may incur additional late fees (see Section 8). Fees for in-house PatriaCo services will be charged as outlined by the Product or Service offering. Fees may be based on a flat rate or may fall into one of our four quaternary service hourly rate tiers.
All payment obligations are noncancelable, and all amounts paid are nonrefundable. All quaternary project work is progress billed, with invoices due upon receipt, normally at the end of each week. If you believe your bill is incorrect, you must contact us in writing within three (3) days of the date of the invoice containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit. You are responsible for paying for all Products and Services ordered and/or subscribed to, including, but not limited to, quaternary project work, whether or not such Products or Services were actively used, or such quaternary project work is completed and/or implemented.
You agree to provide PatriaCo with complete and accurate billing and contact information. This information includes your legal company name, street address, e-mail address, and name and telephone number of an authorized billing contact and Client Center Administrator. You agree to update this information within ten (10) days of any change to such information. If the contact information you have provided is false or fraudulent, PatriaCo reserves the right to terminate your access to the Client Center and any associated Product or Service, in addition to any other legal remedies.
The Patria Company also reserves the right, within its sole discretion, to cease and desist from providing any Product or Service for any reason it feels necessary and will not be liable for any loss incurred by the client for such decisions. Determinant factors for such decisions include but are not limited to information obtained regarding illegal activities, unethical activities, plans to not pay for products or services, or a change in the attitude of the client toward The Patria Company, its employees, any sub-contracted representative or any associated third party. All fees are due at the time of a cease and desist determination will be invoiced and due, with the collection of payments required before discussions concerning the continuation of services will resume.
Unless PatriaCo, in its discretion, determines otherwise: (i) entities with headquarters and a majority of users resident in the United States will be billed in U.S. dollars and subject to U.S. payment terms and pricing schemes; (ii) all other entities will be billed in U.S. dollars or BitGold and be subject to either U.S. or non-U.S. payment terms and pricing schemes at the discretion of PatriaCo.
8. RETAINERS, PRE-PAYMENTS, AND CREDIT ON ACCOUNT
The Patria Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine if retainers or pre-payments for products or services are necessary to protect its own fiduciary responsibilities. New clients with no credit history or clients with a history of delinquency may be asked to provide a retainer or pre-payment for products or services. The Patria Company maintains a Credit on Account calculation, available via the Client Center, for easy and convenient credit tracking for clients.
9. NON-PAYMENT AND SUSPENSION
In addition to any other rights granted to PatriaCo herein, PatriaCo reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and your access to any or all Products and Services if your account becomes delinquent. Any outstanding balance of an invoice is subject to an interest rate of 2.0% per month or the maximum interest rate permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. You will continue to be charged the fees for any product or service for thirty (30) days during any period of suspension. If you or PatriaCo initiate termination of this Agreement, you will be obligated to pay the balance due on your account computed in accordance with Section 7 herein. You agree that PatriaCo may charge such unpaid fees to your credit card or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees.
PatriaCo reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee if you are suspended and request access to any Product or Service. You agree and acknowledge that PatriaCo, nor its Third Party service providers have any obligation to retain Website Data, Financial Data, or Client Data and that such Data may be irretrievably deleted if your account is ten (10) days or more delinquent.
10. TERM OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
Each Product and Service has its own available term durations detailed in each listed offering. Renewable products and services will automatically renew for successive renewal terms equal to the duration of the Initial Term at the then-current fees. Either party may terminate this Agreement or alter the agreement, effective only upon the expiration of the Product or Service Term, by notifying the other party in writing at least ten (10) business days prior to the date of the invoice for the following term. Products or Services with recurring payments due will be invoiced at least 7 days prior to the renewal period date.
Any breach of your payment obligations or unauthorized use of any Products or Services will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. The Patria Company, at its sole discretion, may terminate your password, account, or use of any Product or Service if you breach or otherwise fail to comply with this Agreement. You agree and acknowledge that PatriaCo has no obligation to retain any Data and may delete such Data if you have materially breached this Agreement, including but not limited to failure to pay outstanding fees, and such breach has not been cured within ten (10) days of notice of such breach.
11. QUATERNARY SERVICES
Quaternary services include all intangible knowledge-based and knowledge-sharing services, which include but are not limited to, systems analysis, systems planning, systems training, and systems implementation. Quaternary services fall into two basic categories, turn-key implementation, and hybrid implementation.
Turn-key implementation is distinct in that The Patria Company enlists the assistance of PatriaCo employees and sub-contractors to complete a project. All time frames and budgets are completely within the control of PatriaCo, and Estimates are guaranteed to be within +/- 10% of the quoted cost.
Hybrid implementation includes a varying mixture of client resources (usually selected by a client to mitigate cost). In this case, none of the selected time frames for deliverables or budgets are guaranteed. We will do our best to estimate time and cost, but frequent updates are required to inform the client of issues beyond our control.
Any PatriaCo authorized representative retains the right to accept a verbal change order from the client. Such change orders are immediately notated in the Project Management Section of the Client Center. If there are any discrepancies with the listed project or associated task, the client must notify PatriaCo within 24 hours of the project commencement date, or the date of any requested change order, to cancel or make alterations. You agree that by not notifying PatriaCo and by maintaining access to the Client Center represents your complete approval of any and all listed projects and tasks for which you will be billed, with payments due according to section 7.
12. THIRD PARTY SERVICES
Exclusively owned and operated PatriaCo websites contain links to other Internet sites that our business partners and other third parties own or operate. Your use of each of those sites is subject to the terms and conditions, if any, that each of those sites has posted. We have no control over third-party sites, and we are not responsible for any changes to or content on them. Our inclusion of any material in our websites or any link on our websites are not an endorsement of that material or link or the companies that own or operate the material or linked sites.
As mentioned in Section 7, PatriaCo maintains relationships with and resells for select third-party service providers, but as previously stated, we have no control or influence over service or support; your agreement with these terms confirms your understanding of the relationship between PatriaCo and the following list of Third Parties. We are providing the following list of third-party terms of service for your quick reference.

If litigation is enjoined by either Party regarding the enforcement of this Agreement against the other to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be due to all its costs and legal fees associated with the arbitration and/or litigation payable by the other party. The laws of the state of Texas and the County of Harris therein shall govern this arbitration.
