Each Quotation is subject to Miovision’s assessment of Customer’s creditworthiness and payment history at the time such Quotation is accepted by Customer. Miovision expressly reserves the right, in Miovision’s absolute and sole discretion, to cancel a Quotation or refuse to supply under a Quotation. When Customer orders Services through a Partner, the Customer and the Partner will handle the quotation and ordering processes as between Customer and Partner, and the Partner will order the Services for Customer from Miovision on Customer’s behalf.
5.2 Purchase Orders. When Customer orders Services directly from Miovision, Customer may: (a) submit a written, binding, non-cancellable Purchase Order to Miovision for the Services identified in the Quotation; or (b) sign the Quotation and return same to Miovision. If Customer issues a Purchase Order, Customer shall ensure that the Purchase Order accurately and completely references the applicable Quotation in its entirety, and shall, in each case, specify: (i) the Purchase Order number; (ii) the billing address; (iii) the Customer’s name; (iv) requested commencement date; (v) the Services description and the applicable Fees; (vi) quantity purchased (or licensed); (vii) authorized signature; and (viii) such other information as Miovision may reasonably request. Purchase Orders shall be addressed to the Miovision entity that issued the written Quotation to the Customer.

5.3 Inconsistent Terms. Any terms and conditions that are in addition to or inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Customer’s standard purchasing terms or conditions, delivery slips, packing instructions, handwritten notes made by Customer on a Quotation prior to Customer signing the Quotation, or Customer’s posted terms and conditions), whether included with, or referenced in, such Purchase Order or signed-back Quotation, or otherwise, shall be expressly stricken and deemed null and void, unless a written amendment modifying this Agreement is agreed to and signed by an authorized representative of Miovision.
5.4 Payment Terms.
-
5.4.1 Subscription Fees. Customer shall pay the Fees without any set-off, withholding or deduction whatsoever. Customer shall make all payments hereunder on or before the due date.
-
5.4.2 Invoicing and Payment. Subject to Miovision’s credit evaluation and approval of Customer, the full payment of Fees owing is due thirty (30) days after the date on Miovision’s invoice, which may be issued to Customer on the Commencement Date of Services. Customer shall pay the Fees for the Services on or before the due date, and without any set-off, withholding or deduction whatsoever.
-
5.4.3 Currency and Transfer. All payments to Miovision must be made by wire transfer or ACH/EFT and in the currency as specified on Miovision’s invoice or, in the absence of a currency being specified on the invoice, in United States dollars. All Fees paid are non-refundable except as may otherwise be expressly provided in Section 10.11(C) of this Agreement.
-
5.4.4 Late Payments. Late payments will be assessed a service charge from the date such payment is due until the date it is paid in full, calculated at the lesser of: (a) 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month (18% per annum); or (b) the maximum rate allowed by law. Customer shall pay all reasonable costs incurred by Miovision in collecting any amounts overdue to Miovision by Customer, including reasonable legal, collection and recovery fees and expenses.
-
5.4.5 Data Overages. Customer agrees that Miovision may charge Customer for excess or unauthorized data use.
5.5 Taxes. All prices for the Services are exclusive of taxes and Customer will at all times be responsible for, without limitation, the following: (a) sales, value-added, use, excise, withholding and other applicable taxes; (b) import/export/customs duties, tariffs and/or taxes; (c) government permits or license fees and/or inspection fees; and (d) any penalties and interest charges relating to the foregoing, or any costs expended by Miovision to collect such amounts from Customer (collectively, “Taxes”). If the jurisdiction in which Customer is located requires Customer to withhold any taxes from the payment of the purchase price, unless Customer provides Miovision with a valid exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority to Miovision’s reasonable satisfaction, the purchase price shall then be automatically deemed to be grossed up by an amount equal to the applicable withholding taxes so that the net amount received by Miovision shall be equal to the agreed upon purchase price. If Customer fails to pay any applicable taxes as of their original due date and Miovision receives an assessment or other notice (collectively, the “Assessment”) from any governmental taxing authority stating that such taxes are due from Miovision, then Miovision shall give Customer written notice of the Assessment and Customer shall pay the taxing authority within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such written notice from Miovision. If Miovision pays any applicable taxes to any governmental authority on behalf of Customer, Customer shall immediately upon Miovision’s demand reimburse Miovision the full amount of such payment, without any withholding, deduction or set-off whatsoever.
