Merchant shall pay Refersion the fees for the access to and use of the Services (“Fees”) specified in the Customer Order, including those calculated using Affiliate Sales Revenue, and any applicable Refersion Pay and Customization Fees.  Fees may depend on the number of workflow operations and the number of active workflows and are further based on the length of the Term, number of Authorized Users, Affiliates and Affiliate transactions, data volume and such other capacity limitations as may be stated in the Customer Order, and may be adjusted by Refersion from time to time in response to the changes to the foregoing factors.  For the avoidance of doubt, Refersion’s fee schedules as posted on the Website or elsewhere will not apply to any Merchant who executed a Customer Order under this Agreement unless a Customer Order so specifies.
    3. Payment of Fees. Merchant authorizes Refersion to charge an amount equal to the amount of the Fees on a monthly basis (or on such dates as the Customer Order provides), and any additional amounts as permitted by this Agreement, to the credit card and/or bank account specified in the Customer Order by means of debit or credit card charge for the duration of each Term.  Merchant hereby agrees to keep such valid credit card and/or bank account in effect with sufficient credit limit to enable Refersion to charge the Fees every month, quarter or other period of each Term, as applicable, and not to challenge such charges or to request reversal of such charges.  Refersion will not be required to refund the Fees under any circumstances.
    4. Taxes. All Fees are exclusive of, and Merchant is responsible for, applicable sales, use, excise, export or other applicable taxes, except for taxes on the net income of Refersion. Refersion may add any such taxes to the applicable Fees.
