Trackunit is entitled to charge default interest from the time the payment falls due at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. When sending payment reminders, Trackunit is entitled to make a dunning charge if permitted by applicable law. In the case of default of payment, Trackunit is entitled to request that collection costs are paid in full. In the event that an invoice is not paid on time, Trackunit reserves the right to suspend the subscription without notice until the invoice is paid.
