The initial subscription term for Support Services will commence on the date set forth in the Order Acknowledgment issued by HID and will continue for the initial term set forth therein (“Initial Subscription Term”). Subject to the payment of all subscription fees, unless otherwise agreed by HID in writing, Customer’s support subscription will automatically renew for an additional period equal to the Initial Subscription Term, unless HID, Channel Partner or Customer (as applicable) gives written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current subscription term. For clarity, a subscription constitutes a commitment on the part of Customer or Channel Partner (as applicable) to pay HID for the full subscription term.

HID fees for the Support Services may be increased upon expiration of the then-current subscription term.

In the event that Support Services are discontinued or suspended, to reinstate or renew Support Services, HID will charge Support Services fees for the interim period during which Support Services were discontinued or suspended.

If you have been uncovered by Support Services for longer than one (1) month from the last renewal date, you can reinstate your Support Services for a reinstatement fee of fifteen percent (15%) of the total price of the Support Services for the upcoming renewal period, and you must pay the annual subscription fee for the Support Services. The new Support Services subscription term will begin as of the date of expiration of the prior Support Services subscription term.
