(a) Payment is net thirty (30) days from date of invoice. Orders are subject to credit approval by Utility Relay, which may in its sole discretion at any time change the terms of Customer’s credit or require advance payment or payment by official bank check. If Utility Relay reasonably believes that Customer’s ability to make payments is impaired, Utility Relay may cancel any order or remaining balance thereof, and Customer will remain liable to pay Utility Relay for Products already shipped. Customer will submit such financial information as Utility Relay may reasonably require for determination of credit terms.
(b) Checks are accepted subject to collection and the date of collection will be deemed the date of payment. Any check received from Customer may be applied by Utility Relay against any obligation owing by Customer to Utility Relay under this or any other contract, regardless of any statement appearing on or referring to such check, without discharging Customer’s liability for any additional amounts owing by Customer to Utility Relay. The acceptance by Utility Relay of such check will not constitute a waiver of Utility Relay’s right to pursue the collection of any remaining balance.
(c) Customer will pay the entire net amount of each invoice from Utility Relay pursuant to the terms of such invoice without offset or deduction. Invoices not paid when due will bear interest to date of payment at the annual rate of eighteen (18%) percent or such lower rate as may be the maximum permitted by law.
