Notwithstanding the aforementioned, in an event of termination for cause according to Section 12.3. below, due to a material breach by HiBob, the foregoing shall not apply to amounts paid for the Services in advance, but which are unused on the date of termination (calculated on a pro-rata basis of the balance period between the termination date and the original term of the applicable Order Form).
