3. Terms of Payment.

4. Term; Termination.

  1. The term of this Agreement shall be as set forth in a written agreement between the parties (the “Term”).  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the subscription term and the term of this Agreement shall automatically renew (the “Automatic Renewal”) on the first day following the end of the current subscription term (the “Renewal Date”).  Account Holder may cancel such Automatic Renewal by terminating the subscription and this Agreement as set forth herein or by providing written notice, at least 30 days prior to the Renewal Date, that Account Holder does not wish to renew the subscription.
  2. Either Party may terminate this Agreement in the event that the other party breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after receiving written notice thereof.
