6. MISCELLANEOUS

6.1This Subscription Agreement is for the Initial Period from the Effective Date which is stated in the Order Form (the "Term") and any Renewal Period (as defined below). In the event that no notice of termination in writing has been received by us at least 90 days before expiry of the Term or any Renewal Period, this Subscription Agreement shall continue for further periods of one year, commencing immediately after the Term (each a "Renewal Period") and so on for subsequent Renewal Periods. In such circumstance, the total fee to be paid by you for each Renewal Period will be an amount equal to the annual price paid in the final year of the Term (or last Renewal Period as the case may be) plus an additional amount as we shall determine in our discretion or a pre-determined annual adjustment as specified in your Order Form. LN may discuss alternative terms with you in such circumstances, but any such discussions shall be strictly without prejudice to the provisions of this Clause 6.1 and unenforceable unless agreed in writing and signed by both parties.

6.2Charges and payment terms may be changed in accordance with your applicable price schedule and Clause 6.1; all other provisions of this Subscription Agreement may be changed by us immediately upon notice. Your subscription for access to the Online Services may be terminated by you upon written notice to us if any such change is unacceptable to you, excluding changes to charges that are in accordance with Clause 6.1. For termination to be effective under this clause, we must receive your notice of termination within 30 days of the date of our notice to you. Continued use of the Online Services following any change constitutes acceptance of the change.

6.4We may suspend or discontinue providing the Online Services to you without notice and pursue any other remedy legally available to us (including enforcing payment of charges) if you fail to comply with any of your obligations in this Subscription Agreement (including payment obligations) and will seek our legal costs and other expenses incurred from you.
