Notwithstanding anything stated otherwise, except for an Order Form from an Authorized Reseller, if You provide Clearview with Your own purchase order document (whether signed by one or both parties), unless otherwise agreed to by the Clearview Chief Revenue Officer, such document shall be construed solely as evidence of Customer's internal business processes or terms, and the terms and conditions contained on such document will be of no effect with respect to this Agreement between the parties.

​

If Your Account is for a specific term period, then You shall pay for the Services outlined on Your Order Form or invoice within thirty (30) days after the date of such invoice, and in the method(s) specified by Clearview (without any deduction or set-off); provided that You may withhold only a portion of a payment that is due if such amount is subject to a good faith dispute between You and Clearview. Any deviations in payment timing pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be set forth in your Order Form. You must provide Clearview with notice of a disputed invoice in writing. Clearview will not consider any invoice dispute notice which is sent by You later than ninety (90) days following the date of the invoice in question. The parties will work together to resolve all disputes within sixty (60) days of the date of the dispute notice. If You were billed in error, Clearview will provide the Customer with a credit for the amount billed incorrectly.

 

4.4. Late Payments.

If you cancel, you will not receive a refund for any service already paid for. If You fail to pay an invoice when due and payable, Clearview has the right (without limitation of any other remedies hereunder or under applicable law or in equity) to immediately suspend or restrict Users' access to the Services, or to revoke or suspend (in whole or in part) the revocable license granted herein.
