4. AGGREGATED DATA, SECURITY AND PRIVACY
4.1. Aggregated Data and Usage. Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Skuvantage may generate and obtain Aggregated Data and Usage Data in connection with the use of the Solutions; and (b) Skuvantage may use the Aggregated Data and Usage Data to develop, analyze, improve, support, and operate the Solutions and Skuvantage’s other related products, services and technologies.

5.1. Fees. Customer will pay Skuvantage the fees set forth in each Order or SOW in accordance with this Agreement. If Customer’s use and access of the Solutions exceeds its Licensed Entitlements, in addition to Skuvantage’s other remedies, Skuvantage reserves the right to charge Customer for overages at Skuvantage’s then current rates. Unless otherwise specified on an Order, all payments shall be made in Australian dollars.
5.2. Payment Terms. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all fees will be billed annually in advance and are nonrefundable. All invoices issued by Skuvantage will be due and payable thirty (30) days after invoice date. If Customer fails to make any payment when due, late charges will accrue at the rate of 1.5% per month or, if lower, the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Customer will reimburse Skuvantage for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in collecting any late payments or interest.
5.3. Taxes. The fees charged by Skuvantage do not include any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments, including any GST or other value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes accessible by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively “Taxes”). Customer agrees to pay any applicable direct or indirect Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder, including any GST payable in respect of any taxable supply made under this agreement in addition to the amount payable (exclusive of GST) for the taxable supply. Such taxes are payable at the same time as the amount payable for the taxable supply to which it relates and they will be itemized on the invoice. If Customer has an obligation to withhold any amounts under any applicable law or tax regime (other than Australian income tax law), Customer will gross up the payments so that Skuvantage receives the amount actually quoted and invoiced. If Skuvantage has a legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount will be invoiced and paid by the Customer, unless, prior to the invoice date, the Customer provides Skuvantage with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Each receiving party agrees that it will not disclose the Confidential Information of the disclosing party to anyone except its employees, contractors, and third-party service providers and advisors who have a need to know and are bound by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than this Agreement, unless authorized by the disclosing party (e.g., through the Solution interface). Confidential Information shall not include information that is: (a) generally known to the public without breach of this Agreement; (b) obtained by the receiving party from another source not known to have an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; (c) at the time of disclosure to the receiving party, already in the possession of the receiving party free of any confidentiality obligation; (d) independently developed by the receiving party without reference to any Confidential Information of the disclosing party; or (e) required by applicable law or regulation to be disclosed, provided that the receiving party shall give the disclosing party prompt notice of any such requested disclosure and shall comply with any valid protective order that is obtained by such other party.
