Customer will provide Funding Organizer or Customer’s reseller reasonable evidence that it has paid the relevant authority for the sum withheld or deducted.
5. Auto-renewals and Trials. IF THE CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT IS SET TO AUTO-RENEWAL OR IS IN A TRIAL PERIOD AND THE CUSTOMER HAS ALREADY PROVIDED A METHOD OF PAYMENT TO FUNDING ORGANIZER FOR THE SERVICES, FUNDING ORGANIZER (OR THE CUSTOMER’S RESELLER) MAY CHARGE AUTOMATICALLY AT THE END OF THE TRIAL OR FOR THE RENEWAL, UNLESS THE CUSTOMER NOTIFIES FUNDING ORGANIZER (OR THE CUSTOMER’S RESELLER, AS APPLICABLE) THAT THE CUSTOMER WANTS TO CANCEL OR DISABLE AUTO-RENEWAL.

If Funding Organizer does not believe the options described in this section are commercially reasonable, then Funding Organizer may suspend or terminate Customer’s use of the affected Services or Software, with a pro-rata refund of prepaid fees for the Services or Software.
4. General. The Party seeking indemnification will promptly notify the other Party of the claim and cooperate with the other Party in defending the claim.
