You shall pay Fees in accordance with the Order Form.

If ClearSlide has not received payment of Fees by the applicable due date, then ClearSlide may assess a late fee of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid and/or condition future Contract Term renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified herein. If You have elected to pay Fees via credit card and the credit card is charged back to ClearSlide or if any Fees invoiced to You are not paid within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, ClearSlide may: (i) with respect to chargebacks, cease charging Your credit card and invoice You for the amount charged back and any future Fees; (ii) accelerate the payment of any Fees payable; (iii) immediately suspend Your access to the Services until payment is made; and/or (iv) immediately terminate the applicable Order Form for which Fees were due and/or terminate this Agreement.
