Both parties agree to be bound by NACHA Operating Rules as they pertain to these transactions. Customer acknowledges that the origination of ACH transactions to its account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law.  Customer agrees not to dispute these scheduled transactions with its bank or credit card company provided the transactions correspond to the terms indicated in this Agreement. In the event Customer does not provide its Electronic Payment Information, Company will send invoices to the contact(s) provided in an Order Form for each such Customer, and, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Form, the Fees for each such Customer shall be due and payable within 30 days of receipt of the invoice therefor. Undisputed amounts that are past due will be subject to a monthly charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. Customer agrees to pay all reasonable costs of collection in the event any amount is not paid when due. Company, upon notice to Customer, which notice may be in the form of an invoice, will have the right to change Fees effective any time, which right will include, without limitation, the right to charge a Fee for new features or functions of the Service or for features or functions that have previously been offered at no charge. Unless otherwise noted in the Order Form, all Fees are payable in United States Dollars, and non-refundable. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any invoices sent by Company pursuant to this Section may be sent to Customer via email.
