Fees are exclusive of all applicable taxes (including sales, use, VAT, GST and similar transaction taxes), which Customer will pay. If Customer is required to withhold any taxes from payments to Surf, Customer will gross up the payment so Surf receives the full invoiced amount and will provide documentation of the withholding.

Surf may suspend Customer's access to or use of the Service, in whole or in part, immediately upon notice if Surf reasonably believes that Customer's use violates this Agreement, poses a security risk, may harm the Service or any third party, or if Customer fails to pay undisputed fees when due.

Upon termination of this Agreement, the Customer shall destroy all copies of the Software and Related Documentation in its possession or control, and shall delete or uninstall any Software, including all related components.
