In consideration of the payment of all fees set forth on its Order Form ("Fees")—or in consideration of Customer's submission of a grant application, and CARTO's written approval of the same, in the case of Grant Basemap Services—and complete compliance with these Basemap Terms, CARTO hereby grants Customer a non-exclusive, revocable, worldwide, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right and license to use the Basemap Services.
Free Basemap Services. In addition to the Basemap Services described in Section 3.b, CARTO makes the Basemap Services available at no charge to any Customer who requests and uses a CARTO-issued API key (the "Free Basemap Services"), subject to these Basemap Terms and to the fair use limit in Section 12.c. Neither an Order Form nor a grant application is required to use the Free Basemap Services.

The Free Basemap Services are provided on a revocable basis. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, CARTO may suspend, rate-limit, or terminate Customer's access to the Free Basemap Services, or to any API key, at any time, in its sole discretion and for any or no reason, without prior notice and without liability to Customer or to any third party.

4. Charges and Payment

Obligation to Pay. If not using the Grant Basemap Services or the Free Basemap Services, Customer shall pay CARTO all Fees.
Bank Fees. CARTO is not responsible for any additional bank fees, interest charges, finance charges, overdraft charges, or other fees resulting from charges billed by CARTO. Currency exchange settlements will be based on agreements between Customer and the provider of Customer's credit card.
Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Customer under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Customer is responsible for all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on CARTO's property, employees or income.
Invoices. Unless otherwise described on the Order Form, CARTO will invoice Customer in advance, and Customer agrees that payment is due net thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Customer shall make all payments in the manner specified on its Order Form or in such other manner as CARTO may specify in writing from time to time.
Refunds. All charges made pursuant to the Agreement are non-refundable unless explicitly stated otherwise herein or otherwise provided by applicable law.
No Setoff. Customer shall pay all amounts due under this Agreement without setoff, deduction, recoupment or withholding of any kind for amounts owed or payable by CARTO whether under this Agreement, applicable law or otherwise and whether relating to CARTO's breach, bankruptcy or otherwise.
Suspension for Failure to Pay. If Customer fails to make any payment when due then, in addition to all other remedies that may be available, if such failure continues for thirty (30) days following written notice thereof, CARTO may suspend provision of the Basemap Services until all past due amounts and interest thereon have been paid, without incurring any obligation or liability to Customer or any other Person by reason of such suspension.
Renewal. The term of each subscription shall be as specified in the applicable Order Form. Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring subscription term or one year (whichever is shorter), unless either Party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the relevant subscription term. The per-unit pricing during any renewal term will increase by up to 4% above the applicable pricing in the prior term, unless CARTO provides Customer notice of different pricing at least sixty (60) days prior to the applicable renewal term. Except as expressly provided in the applicable Order Form, renewal of promotional or one-time priced subscriptions will be at CARTO's applicable list price in effect at the time of the applicable renewal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any renewal in which subscription volume for any Basemap Services has decreased from the prior term will result in repricing at renewal without regard to the prior term's per-unit pricing.
Grant Basemap Services. Customer agrees that CARTO, in its sole discretion and for any or no reason, may terminate Customer's access to the Grant Basemap Services or any part thereof. Customer agrees that any termination of its access to the Grant Basemap Services may be without prior notice, and Customer agrees that CARTO will not be liable to Customer or to any third party for such termination. Upon cancellation or suspension pursuant to this section, Customer's right to use the Grant Basemap Services will end immediately.
