3. Subscriptions.
(a) The Products are licensed, and not sold, on a subscription-basis only. End User may select on the Order Form the type of subscription to be purchased by End User (each a "Subscription"). Each Subscription may be subject to different terms and conditions as described below. The term of a Subscription will commence on the date an Order is accepted by MRIC as described in Section 4 below ("Commencement Date"), and unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement, will continue for the term described in the applicable Subscription below (each a "Subscription Period"). Each renewal of a Subscription will be considered a new Subscription Period. During the applicable Subscription Period, End User will receive any updates to the Product that MRIC makes available generally to its customers as part of the applicable Subscription ("Updates").
(b) The terms below corresponding to the Subscription selected by End User will apply:
(i) Purchase. The Subscription Periods for this Subscription are either twelve (12) or twenty-four (24) months as selected by End User on the Order Form. A Subscription under this option may be renewed by End User for successive twelve (12) month periods at the end of the then-current Subscription Period and on each anniversary of the Commencement Date thereafter, unless either End User or MRIC have agreed to renew for an extended term, the length and terms of which shall be in writing, signed by MRIC and End User. At the end of the applicable Subscription Period, if the Subscription is not renewed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, End User will have a perpetual license of that version of the Product licensed to End User as of the end of the applicable Subscription Period, but will not be entitled to any Updates to the Product after the end of the applicable Subscription Period. Any renewals of a Subscription will constitute a separate Order.
(ii) Purchase Option Plan (POP). The Subscription Period for this Subscription is effective for an initial term of twelve (12) or twenty-four (24) months following the Commencement Date ("Initial POP Subscription Period"). In addition to the applicable Subscription fees, End User may be required to pay MRIC a one-time activation fee to commence the POP Subscription. The activation fee is non-refundable once the Order is submitted to MRIC unless MRIC declines to accept the Order. MRIC will bill End User monthly, with payments due within thirty (30) calendar days following the date of the MRIC invoice. After the Initial POP Subscription Period, the Subscription Period for this Subscription will renew automatically for additional periods of twelve (12) months each (each a "POP Renewal Period"), unless End User cancels this Subscription in a written notice to MRIC that is received by MRIC no less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to expiration of the then-current Subscription Period. A Subscription may not be cancelled during the Initial POP Subscription Period or any POP Renewal Period unless End User pays MRIC the applicable buy-out fee to cancel a Subscription. MRIC reserves the right to change pricing upon notice to End User prior to each POP Renewal Period. At the end of the Initial POP Subscription Period or any POP Renewal Period, End User must return to MRIC the Product, any Updates, documentation and all copies thereof and discontinue use of the Product, any Updates and all documentation unless End User elects to purchase a perpetual license to use that version of the Product licensed to End User as of the end of the applicable Subscription Period (buyout). If End User purchases the perpetual license, End User will not be entitled to any Updates unless End User purchases a renewal subscription. Perpetual license buyout is not available for products delivered online.
