§ 04
§ 04.1
Customer shall pay GrowthFactor the fees, charges, and expenses specified in each applicable Order Form (the "Fees").
§ 04.2
Fees may be paid either (a) via manually-paid invoice or (b) via automated payment method. Unless otherwise specified in an Order Form, all invoices are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date ("Due Date").
If Customer elects to pay via automated payment method (e.g., credit card, ACH transfer), Customer authorizes GrowthFactor and its third-party payment processor (e.g., Stripe) to store Payment Method information and automatically charge such Payment Method for all Fees as they become due. Customer represents and warrants that it is authorized to use the designated Payment Method and shall keep such Payment Method information current, complete, and valid.
§ 04.3
Any Fees not paid by the Due Date or that are declined/reversed shall be subject to a late charge equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. GrowthFactor may, without limiting its other rights, suspend the performance of Services if any undisputed invoice or failed automated charge remains unpaid for more than thirty (30) days after Customer is notified.
§ 04.4
All Fees are exclusive of any sales, use, value-added, or other applicable taxes, tariffs, or duties ("Taxes"). Customer is solely responsible for the payment of all Taxes, excluding only taxes based on GrowthFactor's net income.
§ 04.5
GrowthFactor may change its standard rates for Services upon sixty (60) days prior written notice. Fee changes shall not apply to any Order Form in effect during its then-current Order Term. New rates apply only to (i) new Order Forms executed after the sixty (60) day notice period, or (ii) any renewal terms of an existing Order Form.
