If the Customer’s account remains delinquent for 90 days, the Reseller reserves the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice. Additionally, the outstanding balance will be referred to a collections agency for further action. The Customer shall be responsible for any costs associated with the collection of unpaid amounts, including but not limited to agency fees, legal fees, and court costs.
