  1. PAYMENT TERMS.

 

6.1   Prices. Prices will be specified by Boostlingo and will be applicable for the period specified in the Order Form (as applicable). If no period is specified, prices will be applicable for thirty (30) days. While pricing adjustments are not common or expected, prices may be subject to increase in the event of an increase in Boostlingo’s costs or other circumstances beyond Boostlingo’s reasonable control; and (ii) prices may be subject to increase upon a renewal of an Order Form, or in the event Customer adds-on or upgrades Products during the term of an Order Form. Boostlingo reserves the right to change its prices upon thirty (30) days written notice to Customer. Prices are exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature including, for example, value-added; sales; use; or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases under any applicable Order Form. If Boostlingo has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this Section, Boostlingo will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides Boostlingo with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

 

6.2   Due Date; Late Payments. Amounts due for Products may be invoiced by Boostlingo monthly or as otherwise expressly provided in the Order Form. Customer agrees to pay the net amount of each invoice without offset or deduction within fifteen (15) days after the date of Boostlingo’s invoice (unless otherwise noted on the invoice). Payment for all invoices shall be paid by bank wire transfer, ACH bank transfer or credit card. For clarity, checks are not an acceptable form of payment. If any amount is not paid upon the due date, Boostlingo shall be entitled to receive the amount due plus interest thereon at the rate of 1.5% per month (or such lower rate as shall be the highest permissible contract rate under applicable law) on all amounts that are not paid on or before the date due. Customer shall also pay all Boostlingo’s reasonable costs of collection, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees.

 

6.3     Disputed Payments. If Customer reasonably disputes any portion of a Boostlingo invoice, Customer must pay the undisputed portion of the invoice and submit written notice of the claim (with sufficient detail of the nature of the claim, the amount and invoices in dispute and information necessary to identify the affected Product(s)) for the disputed amount. All claims must be submitted to Boostlingo in writing within sixty (60) days from the date of the invoice for those Products. Customer waives the right to dispute any charges not disputed within such sixty (60) day period. If the dispute is resolved against Customer, Customer shall pay such amounts plus interest at the rate referenced in Section 6.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Boostlingo will not exercise its right of suspension in the event Customer provides Boostlingo notice that Customer disputes such charges, in good faith, pays all undisputed charges on time, and cooperates diligently to resolve the dispute.

 

6.4   Application of Payment. Any payment received from Customer may be applied by Boostlingo against any obligation owing from Customer to Boostlingo.

 

6.5   Billing for OPI Calls. Customer acknowledges and agrees that OPI calls made through the Products are billed by the number of minutes a call is active. A call is no longer considered “active” when the customer’s phone line is disconnected from the call. Customer is responsible for disconnecting the phone line from the call. Boostlingo is not responsible for overbilling to the extent Customer failed to disconnect the call. For avoidance of doubt, Customer should ensure any calls placed through a conferencing line properly disconnects from an OPI call.
