The Software and Command Line Interface may include open source software not owned by DeepSource.

Customer is responsible for its Authorized Users compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
1.2 Customer Data: By submitting Customer Data to or in connection with the Cloud Service, Customer hereby grants to DeepSource the right, and is expressly instructing DeepSource, including its Affiliates and subcontractors, to process Customer Data for the limited purpose of providing the Cloud Service. Customer shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and intellectual property ownership or right to use the Customer Data. Customer shall ensure that it is entitled to transfer the relevant Customer Data to DeepSource so that DeepSource and its service providers may lawfully use, process, and transfer the Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement on Customer’s behalf.

1.10 Suspension: DeepSource reserves the right to investigate potential violations of the above provisions of Section 1.6 and 1.7. In the event DeepSource reasonably believes a violation has occurred, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity (including termination pursuant to Section 3 below), DeepSource will have the right to suspend Authorized Users suspected of the violation from accessing the Subscription Services for so long as is reasonably necessary to address the potential violation. Except where DeepSource reasonably believes the violations are willful, or in urgent or emergency situations, DeepSource will notify Customer of any such suspension in advance and work with Customer in good faith to resolve the potential violation. For clarity, DeepSource reserves the right, but does not assume any obligation to Customer (except with respect to the suspension notice), to take any of the actions described in this Section 1.10.
2. Payment of Fees
2.1 Fees: Customer will pay to DeepSource all fees set forth in Order Forms (the “Fees”). Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or an Order Form, payment obligations are non-cancelable, and Fees paid are non-refundable. Except as otherwise set forth in an Order Form, DeepSource may increase the Fees upon renewal of each Order Form subscription term by providing written notice to Customer at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the applicable renewal subscription term.
2.2 Invoices and Payments: Except as otherwise set forth in the relevant Order Form, DeepSource will invoice Customer, or, where Customer has provided valid credit card information to DeepSource, DeepSource will charge Customer, for all Fees at the beginning of the applicable billing cycle. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, full payment for invoiced Fees is due within 30 days after the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing a complete and accurate billing address and billing contact to DeepSource. If Customer believes a particular invoice is incorrect, Customer must contact DeepSource in writing within thirty (30) days of such invoice date to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit.
2.3 Late Payments: Any invoiced amount not received by DeepSource by the due date and not subject to a reasonable and good faith dispute may accrue late interest at the lower of (i) the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law. If Customer’s account is thirty (30) days or more overdue (except for charges then under reasonable and good faith dispute), then DeepSource may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, following five (5) days written notice and an opportunity to cure, suspend Customer’s access to the DeepSource Service until such amounts are paid in full. Written notice may be provided via email.
2.4 Taxes: The Fees do not include taxes, duties, levies or similar government assessments of any kind, including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. Customer will not withhold any taxes from any amounts due to DeepSource. If DeepSource has a legal obligation to pay or collect any Taxes for which Customer is responsible, DeepSource will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides DeepSource with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, DeepSource is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.
2.5 Software Usage Verification Records: During a Subscription Term, and for twelve (12) months after its expiry or termination, Customer will take reasonable steps to maintain complete and accurate records of its use of Software sufficient to verify compliance with the Agreement (“Verification Records”). Upon at least thirty (30) days advance notice, and no more than once per twelve (12) month period, Customer will provide DeepSource and its designee access to the Verification Records and any applicable books, systems, and accounts during Customer’s normal business hours. In the event any audit or inspection reveals that Customer has used the Software in excess of the Agreement, Customer shall promptly pay to DeepSource an amount equal to the difference between the fees actually paid and the fees that would have been paid by Customer had Customer purchased the number of licenses it is shown to have been using.
