6. Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and continue in effect thereafter until superseded or otherwise terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the “Term”). Each of the services ordered shall be provided for the term specified by you in your initial order (the “Initial Term”). After the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement will be extended and automatically renew for the same amount of time as the Initial Term until either party terminates in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Agreement. Each extension and automatic renewal shall be deemed a Renewal Term. This Agreement may not be terminated by you during the Initial Term or during a Renewal Term unless such termination is to be effective on the last day of such Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, such that no extension or automatic renewal will take place. You acknowledge and agree that your commitment to each Initial Term and Renewal Term is an important factor in FilesAnywhere’s decision to agree to the pricing in this Agreement. However, you may terminate the Agreement prior to the end of the applicable Initial Term or Renewal Term if you (i) notify FilesAnywhere before the next billing period of such termination and (ii) pay FilesAnywhere all amounts already paid plus all amounts due under this Agreement through the end of the current Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, such that 100% of all remaining amounts due for the remainder of such Initial Term or Renewal Term are paid (the “Early Cancellation Fee”). If FilesAnywhere terminates the Agreement for your breach, you shall pay the Early Cancellation Fee in addition to, and not instead of, any other remedies provided elsewhere in this Agreement, or by law, including without limitation FilesAnywhere’s right to seek injunctive relief and to sue for damages. Upon termination of this Agreement, we shall provide you with the information, assistance, and cooperation, as you may reasonably request, to assure an orderly return or transfer of your Materials to you or your designee.
