17.2 All rates, fees, and charges are exclusive of applicable taxes, for which You are solely responsible. Taxes may vary based on jurisdiction and the Services provided. If any withholding tax is levied on the payments, then You must increase the sums paid to the Provider or your Accredited Reseller so that the amount received by the Provider or your Accredited Reseller after the withholding tax is deducted is the full amount the Provider or your Accredited Reseller would have received if no withholding or deduction had been made.
17.3 The Provider or Your Accredited Reseller is entitled to adjust the agreed service/license fees at its reasonable discretion (Section 315 of the German Civil Code (BGB)) during fixed subscription periods, for the first time with effect from the end of the 12th month of your subscription to Unify Phone Service and thereafter at most annually.

The notification of a service fee adjustment shall be made sixty (60) days prior to the effective date and shall include an explanation of which factors and their overall development justify an adjusted service fee. In the event of a not insignificant increase in the service fees applicable at the time of notification, You may terminate the Unify Phone Service within the notice period.

Such Party will also take all reasonable actions to ensure that such Confidential Information it was compelled to disclose will be treated confidentially.
The Party invoking an exception has to prove that the prerequisites for such exception are met.

This time period shall begin with the end of the calendar year in which the Agreement was terminated. In the event Applicable Laws require that a Party must retain Confidential Information for a longer period of time, e.g. for taxation or audit purposes, it may only do so for the sole purpose of complying with such Applicable Laws and the confidentiality obligations stipulated in this Agreement shall continue to apply with respect to such Confidential information until it is destroyed in the Party’s ordinary course of business.
18.4 Each Party shall be entitled to request at all times the return or destruction of any Confidential Information as well as any copies thereof.

Explanations:
- The OpenScape VoIP Platform is the platform You use in conjunction with Unify Phone Services.
- The Platform SW Licensing model indicates how the SW of your OS VoIP Platform is licensed. All platforms support the perpetual license model, but for OpenScape Voice and OpenScape Business you might have chosen a subscription model, SW Subscription Licensing or the PAYGO model, respectively.
- If Your platform is already licensed in a subscription model, Unify Phone Services are linked to that subscription, and no extra Unify Phone Licenses have to be ordered. If Your platform is licensed perpetually, a Unify Phone License per User have to be ordered.
- The Unify Phone Service subscription starts the business day after Unify received the order of Unify Phone Licenses if Your OpenScape VoIP Platform is perpetually licensed and with the provisioning of the first User if your Your OpenScape VoIP Platform is licensed in a subscription model.
- The Initial Subscription Term is the minimum duration of Your subscription of Unify Phone Services after Subscription Start under the terms of this Agreement. If Your OpenScape VoIP Platform is licensed perpetually, the minimum terms is 12 months, unless otherwise agreed upon. Unify Phone Service subscriptions are then Evergreen subscriptions which never expire unless explicitly terminated by Unify or You. If Your OpenScape VoIP Platform is licensed in a subscription model the subscription of Unify Phone Services co-terminates with your Software Subscription License for OpenScape Voice or with your PAYGO subscription for OpenScape Business, respectively. Co-termination means that the initial term for Unify Phone Services coincides with the remaining subscription term of Your OpenScape VoIP Platform.
- Once the Initial Subscription Term for Unify Phone Services ends it is automatically renewed for another 12 months if your OpenScape VoIP Platform is perpetually licensed. For OpenScape Platforms licensed in a subscription model, Subscription Renewal for Unify Phone Services coincides with Subscription Renewal for Your platform (co-termination)
- For OpenScape VoIP Platforms with perpetual licensing, You can order additional Unify Phone Licenses at any time (License Increase) to add more Users to Unify Phone Services. For OpenScape VoIP Platforms licensed in a subscription model You just add more users.
- For OpenScape VoIP Platforms with perpetual licensing, You can Decrease Licenses for Unify Phone Services at any time by written request to Your Unify Phone Services Provider with notice period of sixty (60) calendar days. For OpenScape Platforms licensed in a subscription model, You just deprovision Users which are not required any more for Unify Phone Services.
- For OpenScape VoIP Platforms with perpetual licensing, You can terminate Your Unify Phone Services subscription in writing with sixty (60) calendar days advance notice to your Unify Phone Service Provider. For OpenScape Platforms licensed in a subscription model, Your Unify Phone Service subscription co-terminates with the subscription of Your OpenScape VoIP Platform.
- You will be billed by your Unify Phone Services Provider in a Billing Cycle of one month as detailed in the table.
- For OpenScape VoIP Platforms with perpetual licensing, You will be billed for ordered Unify Phone Licenses as Billing Unit. For OpenScape Platforms licensed in a subscription model, the Billing Unit is a Unify Phone Client configured on Your OpenScape VoIP Platform.
- For OpenScape VoIP Platforms with perpetual licensing, the Billed Quantity is the number of Billing Units ordered. For OpenScape Platforms licensed in a subscription model the High Watermark billing model is used and the highest measured quantity in a Billing Cycle is used as Billed Quantity.
