If the parties determine that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to Vantage, Vantage will not issue a corrected invoice, but will instead issue a credit notice specifying the incorrect amount in the affected invoice. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Customer waives all claims relating to Fees unless claimed within 30 days after being charged (this does not affect any Customer rights with its credit card issuer). Refunds (if any) are at the discretion of Vantage and will only be in the form of credit for the Services. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Vantage to extend credit to any party.
2.5. Delinquent Payments; Suspension. Late payments may bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full.
