If this Agreement is terminated by Us in accordance with this section, You will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term pursuant to all applicable Order Forms. In no event will termination relieve You of Your obligation to pay any fees payable to Us for the period prior to the effective date of termination.

1.4.6 Upon request by You made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, We will make Service Data available to You for export or download as provided in the Documentation.

The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall supersede any non-disclosure agreement by and between the Parties and such agreement shall have no further force or effect with respect to the exchange of Confidential Information after the acceptance of this Agreement. To be clear, any exchange of Confidential Information prior to the acceptance of this Agreement shall continue to be governed by such non-disclosure agreement.

Upon approval, you will receive an automated email with a return number and instructions on how to proceed with your return.  Additional emails are automatically sent at the following steps in the refund process: (1) Your return is received at our facility and (2) Your refund is processed and your return is completed.
