Payment
If you have authorized payment for Services or equipment
by credit card or by debiting a bank account, no additional
notice or consent is required before we invoice the credit
card or debit the bank account for all amounts due to us or
billed by us on behalf of a third party. You must promptly
notify us of any change in your invoicing address or of the
credit card or bank account used for payment. We reserve
the right to require payment by money order, cashier's check
or other secured form of payment. If we take action to
receive payment beyond invoicing you for charges for
Services or equipment, you must pay our costs and expenses
of collection, including attorneys' fees and expenses, the
fees of any collection agency and court costs. If we act as an
invoicing agent for a third-party service provider, payments
received are first applied to amounts due and owing to us
and any remaining amounts are applied to sums due and
owing to the third-party service provider. We may charge an
additional fee for any check or other negotiable instrument
endorsed by you and returned unpaid by a financial
institution for any reason. You may be charged fees for
certain methods of payment.
Late Payment Charges
Payment is past due if we do not receive it by the due date
shown on your invoice. Any payment for Services and
equipment not made when due accrues late charges until
paid at the rate of 1.5% per month or at the highest rate
allowed by law. Late charges are prorated daily for each day
that payment is past due, but are not compounded monthly.
Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked
"paid in full") does not waive our right to collect all
amounts that you owe us.

You must raise any dispute that you have about any charges
invoiced to you within 15 days of the date of the invoice or
you have accepted the invoice. You may notify us of any

sales or general business offices are not notice of a dispute. If
disputed invoice procedures are described on the invoice,
you must follow them.

must give each other notice to terminate Services. At and
after the expiration of the term, you may terminate Services
at any time by giving us notice and we may subject, to this
Agreement, terminate Services at any time, with or without
notice.
