7.3.           Taxes. Other than federal and state net income taxes imposed on Canvs, Customer will bear all taxes, duties, and other governmental charges relating to the Services.

Canvs may terminate or suspend this Agreement or any part of it immediately upon written notice to Customer without a cure period if Customer breaches Sections 3 (Restrictions and Responsibilities) or 5 (Confidentiality). Either party may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice, if the other party files, or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or pursuant to any other insolvency law, makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or applies for, or consents to, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or custodian for a substantial part of its property.

Upon the termination of this Agreement or a Service Order, all rights and licenses granted by Canvs to Customer under this Agreement or the applicable Service Order will terminate. Either party’s termination of this Agreement is without prejudice to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, and does not relieve either party of liability for breaches occurring prior to the effective date of termination. Neither party will be liable to the other for damages arising solely as a result of terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

8.5.           Post-Termination Obligations. Upon any termination of this Agreement or any Service Order, Canvs will make all Customer Data then held on Customer’s behalf by Canvs pursuant to this Agreement or the applicable Service Order available to Customer for electronic retrieval for a period of 14 days. After such period, Canvs may, but is not obligated to, delete any such Customer Data. If Customer terminates this Agreement for Canvs’ material breach, or if Canvs terminates this Agreement under Section 8.3, Customer will pay a pro rata amount of the Fees for any terminated Services up to and including the last day on which the Services are provided, and Canvs will refund any pre-paid Fees for Services not yet provided. If this Agreement is terminated for any other reason, Canvs will not refund Customer any Fees paid, and within 10 days after such termination, Customer will pay Canvs all remaining Fees owed under any terminated Service Orders. The following sections of this Agreement will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: Sections 1 (Definitions), 2.1 (Service Orders), 2.5 (Subcontractors), 3 (Restrictions and Responsibilities), 4.7 (Usage Data), 5 (Confidentiality), 7 (Fees and Payment Terms), 8.3 (Survival and Termination Obligations), 8.4 (Post-Termination Obligations), 10 (Indemnification), 11 (Limitations of Liability), and 12 (Miscellaneous).
