what a software order form actually says
One page, a table, and a signature line. This is what a small company signs to start paying for software, and it is where automatic renewal lives.
It almost always incorporates a longer set of terms by reference, which means the signer is agreeing to a document that is not in front of them.
Ridgeline Data Inc. and Calder & Pace Design Studio LLC are the 2 parties to this order, effective July 1, 2026.
Ridgeline provides access to Ridgeline Insight, Team edition, for 12 named users.
Calder & Pace Design Studio LLC pays $540 per month, billed as $6,480 annually in advance, excluding taxes.
Additional seats cost $45 per seat per month, prorated to the end of the term.
The initial term runs 12 months, from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027.
The order renews automatically for successive 12-month terms unless either party gives 30 days written notice of non-renewal before the term ends.
On each renewal, Ridgeline may raise the fee by up to 7% without further notice.
Amounts unpaid after 30 days accrue interest at 1% per month.
Ridgeline may suspend access after 15 days written notice of non-payment.
Fees are non-refundable, and the seat count cannot be reduced during a term.
Calder & Pace Design Studio LLC is responsible for all applicable sales, use, and value-added taxes.
Ridgeline may use the Customer's name and logo in marketing materials unless Calder & Pace Design Studio LLC withdraws permission with 30 days written notice.
This order incorporates the Ridgeline Master Subscription Agreement by reference, covering confidentiality, liability limits, and termination.
This order is governed by the laws of the State of New York.
