The Customer will fully cooperate with SleekFlow in defence of any claim defended by the Customer pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Agreement and will not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of SleekFlow.

14. Limitation of Liabilities

The Parties acknowledge that the following provisions have been negotiated by them and reflect a fair allocation of risk and form an essential basis of the bargain and will survive and continue in full force and effect despite any failure of consideration or of an exclusive remedy:

Amount. In no event will the total aggregate liability of SleekFlow in connection with or under this Agreement exceed the fees paid by the Customer in the prior 12 -month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim or US$500, whichever is the lesser. For greater certainty, the existence of one or more claims under this Agreement will not increase this maximum liability amount of SleekFlow.
Type. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, in no event will SleekFlow be liable to the Customer, any User or any person for any: (i) special, exemplary, punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential damages, (ii) lost savings, profit, data, use, or goodwill; (iii) business interruption; (iv) any costs for the procurement of substitute products or services; (v) personal injury or death; (vi) personal or property damage arising out of or in any way connected to this agreement, regardless of cause of action or the theory of liability, whether in contract, tort (including negligence, gross negligence, fundamental breach, breach of a fundamental term) or otherwise and even if notified in advance of the possibilities of such damages; or (vii) fraudulent transaction(s) made through SleekFlow Solution (including the website)

15. Term and Termination

Term. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and continue to be in effect until the Customer's subscription has been terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Term”). For greater certainty, if the Customer has subscribed to an ongoing subscription, then such subscription will automatically renew at its expiry for the same period of time, at the then-current subscription rate described on the SleekFlow Website at the time of renewal.
Termination For Convenience. Either Party may terminate this Agreement and the Customers's subscription to Services:
1. if the Services subscribed by the Customer is a pro or premium monthly plan, by providing written notice to the other Party at least seven (7) days before the end of such Term;
2. if the Services subscribed by the Customer is a pro or premium yearly plan, by providing written notice to the other Party at least thirty (30) days before the end of such Term;
3. if the Services subscribed by the Customer is an enterprise monthly plan, by providing written notice to the other Party at least thirty (30) days before the end of such Term.
4. if the Services subscribed by the Customer is an enterprise yearly plan, by providing written notice to the other Party at least sixty (60) days before the end of such Term.
For clarity, per section 15), unless this Agreement and the Customer’s subscription to the Services are so terminated, the Customer’s subscription will renew for a Term equivalent in length to the then expiring Term.
Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement and the Customer’s subscription to the Services for cause (a) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other Party of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period; or (b) if the other Party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. If this Agreement is terminated by the Customer in accordance with this section, SleekFlow will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, refund the Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Term after the effective date of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by SleekFlow in accordance with this section, the Customer shall immediately pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Term. In no event will termination relieve the Customer of its obligation to pay any fees payable to SleekFlow for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
Refunds and Termination Charges. No WhatsApp credits can be encashed, returned and/or refunded in any event. No refunds or credits for Fees will be provided if there is alternation to SleekFlow’s service provision due to change of policies or permissions by Messaging Channels. No refunds or credits for Fees will be provided if the Customer elects to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Term. If the Customer terminates this Agreement prior to the end of the Term, or SleekFlow effects such termination pursuant to Section 15, in addition to other amounts the Customer may owe SleekFlow, the Customer must immediately pay any then unpaid Fees associated with the remainder of the Term. This amount will not be payable by the Customer in the event the Customer terminates this Agreement as a result of a material breach of this Agreement by SleekFlow, provided that the Customer has provided advance notice of such breach to SleekFlow and afford SleekFlow not less than thirty (30) days to reasonably cure such breach as provided for in section 15.
