dispute on or before the due date and shall give notice of the amount in dispute and the reasons therefore to the other party. If a party
fails to pay to the other party by the due date any amount due, the other party may assess a late charge at rate permitted by the law.The party to whom the amount is due reserves the right to withhold services while there are any outstanding fees and/or
interest or the Business is in breach of the agreement.
