The confidentiality obligations stated in this section will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement, but will not apply to any information that: (i) is in the public domain through no fault of the receiving party, (ii) was independently developed by the receiving party without any of the other party’s confidential information, (iii) was previously and lawfully known by the receiving party prior to receipt from the disclosing party, or (iv) is required to be disclosed pursuant to subpoena or other legal proceeding, provided that the disclosing party is given prompt notice, if the receiving party is legally permitted to do so, and the opportunity to intervene to oppose or limit such disclosure.

Other Provisions

Termination of Access and Use of Site. c4cast is entitled to suspend or terminate your access to and use of this Site with or without notice for any of the following reasons: (i) delinquency in payment for any services or products, (ii) default by you of any of your obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) termination by c4cast of this Site or any related products or services on a general basis.

Payment Obligations. You agree to pay, on a timely basis, any and all fees and charges due for fee-based services and products to which you subscribe, which you purchase, or which you otherwise acquire or use. You will also be responsible for the payment of all taxes, if any, arising from your payment of such fees and charges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each of c4cast’s obligations to you hereunder will be subject to proper and timely payment of all amounts owed by you for the period of use during which the subject obligation would have arisen.

Term. The initial term of this Agreement will commence when you select the ‘Accept’ button and will be for one year, provided that you have paid any and all fees and charges due for fee-based services and products to which you subscribe. Your subscription will be automatically renewed each year for an additional one year term unless you notify c4cast thirty (30) days in advance of the end of the term.

Cancellation. If you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the current term, you may request a partial refund of the fees you have already paid. Your refund will be calculated by using the current month-to-month rate for your subscription level as the value of each full and partial month of service that you received during the current term. Your value received equals that month-to-month rate multiplied by the number of full and partial months of your service, measured to the date you requested cancellation. Your refund will then equal the amount you paid during the current term, minus the above value received.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including c4cast.com’s privacy policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and c4cast and governs your use of this Site, superseding any prior agreements between you and c4cast with respect to this Site. You may also be subject to other and/or additional terms and conditions that apply when you use or purchase certain other c4cast services or products, affiliate services or products, third-party content or third-party software. c4cast is entitled to add, delete and change the provisions of this Agreement at any time and with or without notice.

Waiver and Severability of Terms. The failure or delay of c4cast to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof and no waiver will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party making such waiver.
