6.1 Access to Hosted Services
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, MEDEORA grants you a non-exclusive right to access and use the Hosted Services during the applicable Subscription Term (as defined below) in accordance with this Agreement, its applicable Scope of Use and the Documentation. If MEDEORA provides client software (e.g. a desktop or mobile application) for a cloud-based solution, you may only use such software with the Hosted Service agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You acknowledge that our cloud-based solutions are online products on a subscription basis and that we may make changes to the cloud-based solutions as necessary.
We expressly point out at this point that you as a user hereby instruct us to engage a suitable cloud provider on your behalf and at your expense to host the application you have ordered. The hosting costs incurred are included in the user fees. MEDEORA reserves the right to change the provider if necessary, but we will inform you of a possible change should your interests be affected by this change.
6.2 Subscription conditions and renewals
The cloud-based solutions are provided on a subscription basis for a specified term as set out in your order (“Subscription Term”). Unless otherwise specified in your order, all subscriptions will automatically renew for periods equal to your original Subscription Term (renewals will always be charged at the then-current rates) unless you cancel your subscription no later than 30 days prior to the end of the billing period. If you cancel, your subscription will terminate at the end of the current billing period, but you will not be entitled to any credits or refunds for amounts incurred or paid prior to cancellation.
MEDEORA may change the price of any service or fee for the use of services, including services that are currently available to you free of charge. Any fee increases will only take effect after the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged for the use of any service unless you have opted for a paid subscription.
6.3 Credentials
You must ensure that all authorized users keep their user IDs and passwords for the cloud-based solutions strictly confidential and do not disclose this information to unauthorized persons. User IDs are issued to individual, named individuals and must not be shared. You are responsible for all actions taken with your accounts and passwords. With this agreement, you undertake to inform MEDEORA immediately of any unauthorized use of which you become aware.

In the event of such termination, all data associated with the user account will be deleted. We will notify you in advance of such termination and provide you with the opportunity to back up your data. The data deletion policy may be implemented with respect to any or all services. Each service will be considered a separate and distinct service for the purposes of calculating the period of inactivity. In other words, activity in one of the services is not sufficient to keep your user account active in another service. For accounts with more than one user, if at least one of the users is active, the account is not considered inactive.
6.5 Your data

We are not responsible for any possible loss, alteration, interception or storage of your data on such networks. We do not guarantee that the security measures we use will be error-free, that the transmission of your data will always be secure or that unauthorized third parties will never be able to subvert our security measures or those of our third party providers.
6.7 Memory limits
There may be storage limitations associated with a particular cloud-based solution. MEDEORA reserves the right to charge for additional storage or excess capacity.

6.9 Dismantling and suspension
MEDEORA is under no obligation to monitor content uploaded to the cloud-based solutions. However, if we deem such action necessary due to your violation of this Agreement or in response to requests we receive under our Copyright and Trademark Infringement Notification Policy, we may (a) remove your data from the Hosted Services or (b) suspend your access to the Hosted Services. However, if we determine that your actions jeopardise the operation of the cloud-based solutions or other users, we may suspend your access immediately and without notice.
