Last updated: January 2, 2026
1. Definitions
“Invoice” means a written or electronic financial document specifying the ABBYY Software, quantity of Volume Units, price, Subscription Term and other commercial terms and conditions.
“Subscription Fee” means the payment that Partner makes for the End User’s Subscription during the Subscription Term. Subscription Fee includes the fees for default level of ABBYY Software support and maintenance services during the Subscription Term.
2. Ordering and Payment; Balance
2.1. Partner shall pay Subscription Fees for ABBYY Software in the amount stated in the applicable Quote.
2.2. ABBYY in its sole discretion may request Partner to provide additional information reasonably required for compliance and billing purposes, before processing any orders, including but not limited to Subscription renewal(s). If such requested additional information is not provided by You within the timeframe defined by ABBYY, ABBYY may, in its sole discretion, reject or postpone any order, including but not limited to auto-renewal of End User’s existing Subscription, or terminate a then-current Subscription.
2.3. If Partner executes and/or returns a Quote to ABBYY after the Subscription start date indicated in such Quote, ABBYY may, at its sole discretion, adjust the Subscription start date and the end date, without increasing the total price under such Quote, based on the date ABBYY provides the ABBYY Product to Partner and/or end User after Partner executes and/or return such Quote to ABBYY and provided that the Subscription Term length under such Quote does not change.
2.4. Subject to Your compliance with the section 2.2, ABBYY will issue an Invoice to Partner, stating in Invoice the amount of Subscription Fee and the due date of payment. If Partner fails to pay Invoice by the due date of payment as specified in Invoice, ABBYY may cancel the respective Quote and Subscription and/or deny the End User access to ABBYY Product functionality.
2.5. In the case of a prepayment, Partner’s payment obligations shall be performed before the Subscription Term start date as indicated in the relevant Quote. If Partner fails to perform its payment obligations on time, instead of cancelling the Quote, ABBYY may choose to make the ABBYY Product available to End User from the date the payment was actually received by ABBYY. However, the Subscription Term end date shall remain as indicated in the relevant Quote with no pro-rata or other type of refund applicable.
2.6. Subscription Fees are non-cancellable and are non-refundable, except as otherwise provided for in the Agreement and unless cancellable or refundable under the applicable laws.
2.7. Upon fulfilment of Partner’s payment obligations or issuance of an Invoice, ABBYY will send Partner or End User by e-mail Internet address for download or access of the respective ABBYY Product.
3. Volume Units
3.1. Upon fulfilment of an order, the corresponding amount of Volume Units will be available to Licensee for processing until the Subscription End Date specified in the Quote. For SDK products only, Volume Units are linked to a particular software application, and are not transferable between different software applications.
3.2. You may request ABBYY to increase the Volume Units available for a Subscription at any time. Starting from the date of such Volume Unit increase, the additional Volume Units will be available for processing. The price of the new upgraded Subscription for the remaining duration of the then-current Subscription Term will be charged on a pro rata basis. The Volume Units of the upgraded Subscription will be in addition to the previously unused Volume Units and will be available until termination or expiration of the then-current Subscription Term and on the same terms.
3.3. At the end of the Subscription Term, ABBYY may charge additional fees for the subsequent amounts due for amounts in excess of the Volume Unit purchased. If Partner fails to pay the above-mentioned additional fees, ABBYY may limit or suspend the Subscription.
3.4. Any request for modification of Subscription on renewal shall be done at least 45 days in advance of the renewal date.
4. Termination of Subscription; Renewals
4.1. Without prejudice to the section 2.2, each Subscription Term shall automatically renew for a Subscription Renewal Term, unless either Party notifies the other Party in writing of its decision not to renew the Subscription forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration date of the then-current Subscription Term. Any such notice to ABBYY shall be sent to the email address renewal-cancellation@abbyy.com and contain a reference to ABBYY Product license number for which Subscription shall not be renewed.
4.2. During the Subscription Term, the Subscription may not be terminated by Partner or an End User for any reason except for any specific cause for termination provided in the EULA, or provided for by applicable law.
4.3. Upon expiration or termination of a Subscription, the End User will have no right to use the ABBYY Product and shall delete any copies of it. The termination or expiration of a Subscription will not affect the validity of the Partner Agreement, unless otherwise agreed in the Partner Agreement.
4.4. If the Partner Agreement is terminated by Partner before any Subscription Term expires, Partner shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, pay ABBYY any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term. If any discounts were applied to Subscription, Partner may be required by ABBYY to pay an amount equivalent to the sum of such discount. The provisions of this section shall not apply if the termination is due to ABBYY’s breach.
4.5. Before any Subscription Term renewal ABBYY may increase the Subscription Fee for up to seven (7) percent from the then current non-discounted Subscription Fee rates for the relevant ABBYY Product unless otherwise specified in the relevant Quote.
4.6. Termination of Subscription followed by repurchase of the equivalent Subscription within four (4) months of the termination shall be considered a Subscription renewal and shall be subject to administrative reinstatement fee of up to two (2) percent of yearly Subscription Fee per lapsed month.
4.7. A portion of Subscription Term lapsed due to Partner’s failure to provide documents or information reasonably required by ABBYY for processing a Subscription renewal may be reinstated upon Partner’s payment of renewal reinstatement fee of up to two (2) percent of yearly Subscription Fee per lapsed month.
