14. 1. Term. The EULA shall commence on the date set forth in the applicable Order Form, or if no such date is set forth, the date you accept this EULA or first access the Services, whichever first occurs (the “Effective Date”) and continues as long as any Order Form remains in effect, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this EULA. IF YOU SUBSCRIBE TO THE SERVICES ON A SUBSCRIPTION BASIS, THE SERVICES WILL CONTINUE AT THE END OF EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION 8(B).
