(c) (Types of Fees) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Subscription Fees contain two components:
(i) a flat fee (Flat Fee); and
(ii) an additional fee, in an amount payable for the applicable Subscription Tier (Usage Fee).
(d) (Flat Fees/Usage Fees) The Flat Fee and Usage Fee will be charged as follows for the duration of the Subscription Period, at our discretion:
(i) (Flat Fee – 30 Day charge in advance) the Flat Fee will be charged for every 30 day period, in advance, on the Fee Start Date and each subsequent 30 Day Payment Date; and

Ad Hoc Charges will be charged in arrears, for the period between the date of the charge and last 30 Day Payment Date or Ad Hoc Charge (Ad Hoc Charge Period). Leads Hook will determine the applicable Subscription Tier (and Usage Fee rate) by extrapolating from the Client’s use of the Subscription in the Ad Hoc Charge Period, and estimating what the Client’s use of the Subscription will be in the relevant 30 day period. If the Client’s subsequent actual use of the Subscription means that an Ad Hoc Charge is incorrect, then Leads Hook will deduct the difference between the charged amount and the correct amount from the next charge it makes under this clause 4. Leads Hook will generally make Ad Hoc Charges when the Client’s use of the Subscription is high, however this will not limit Leads Hook’s right to make Ad Hoc Charges at any time.

4.4 SUBSCRIPTION TIERS
(a) (Subscription Tier Criteria) Your use of the Solution will be assessed by us during the Subscription, to determine which Subscription Tier applies to your Subscription for each 30 day period and to calculate the applicable Usage Fee.

By signing up for a recurring Subscription, you acknowledge and agree that your Subscription has an initial and recurring payment feature, and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to your cancellation of your Subscription.
