13. Term; Order Form Term; and Termination

(a) Term and Order Form Term.  The term of this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues until the stated term in all Order Forms have expired or have otherwise been terminated, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Agreement (the “Term”).  Each Order Form will commence on the Order Form Effective Date set forth in such Order Form and each Order Form will continue to be in effect for the initial order form term set forth in the applicable Order Form (the “Order Form Initial Term”), unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement. Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form, each  Order Form will automatically renew for successive periods of one (1) year or such longer term set forth in the applicable Order Form (each a “Order Form Renewal Term”), unless either Party provides the other Party with written notice of its intention not to renew not less than 30 days prior to the end of the then current Order Form Term.

(b) Termination for Cause.  (i) Either Party may terminate this Agreement, by giving to the other Party written notice of termination upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) the other Party breaches or defaults on any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement (including Charity’s payment obligations under Section 8) and fails to cure such breach or default within 30 days of receipt of written notice thereof; except that, in the event of any breach that is incapable of being cured, such termination will be effective immediately; (B) the other Party makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or is unable to pay its debts as they mature in the ordinary course of business; or  (C) any proceedings are instituted by or against the other Party under any insolvency laws or for reorganization, receivership or dissolution. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, CanadaHelps may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to Charity: (A) if Charity breaches Sections 2(c), 5, or 10(a); (B) if Charity fails to pay undisputed Fees within 30 days of the date that such Fees became due; (C) as otherwise permitted in this Agreement; (D) if CanadaHelps’ s relationship with a third-party service provider that provides servers, software or other technology that it uses to provide the Services terminates or requires CanadaHelps to change the way it provides the Services; or (E) in order to comply with Applicable Law or requests from Governmental or Regulatory Authority.  (iii) If this Agreement is terminated by Charity due to CanadaHelps’ s material breach pursuant to Section 13 (b)(i), CanadaHelps will provide Charity with a pro rata refund of any unused Fees prepaid by Charity applicable to the period following the effective date of termination of the Agreement or Order Form. If this Agreement is terminated by CanadaHelps  pursuant to Section 13 (b), Charity will remain liable to pay the full Fees outstanding on the effective date of termination of the Agreement and Charity will pay all remaining Fees for the rest of the then-current Order Form Term, and Term as applicable.
