2(c) Additional Services

Customer may request additional services via an executed Statement of Work, including descriptions, milestones, fees, and timelines.

Late fees accrue interest at 1.5% per month (or the maximum legal rate). ResellerOS may accelerate payment obligations if an account is 30 or more days overdue and may suspend Services until payment is received. Customer pays all collection costs including reasonable attorney fees.

5(d) Payment Disputes

ResellerOS may not enforce late-payment penalties if charges are under reasonable, good-faith dispute and Customer cooperates diligently to resolve the dispute.

5(e) Taxes

Customer is responsible for all applicable taxes unless ResellerOS has a legal obligation to collect them. Exemption certificates must be provided prior to invoicing.

ResellerOS may periodically inspect Customer’s records to verify compliance. Underpayments must be corrected with interest.

6(d) Federal Government Rights

Government entities receive customary commercial licenses consistent with FAR and DFAR standards.

7(a) Definition

Confidential Information excludes information that is publicly available, previously known to the receiving party, independently developed, or received from a third party without restriction.
