3. CHANGE ORDER.

3.1 Change Orders. Either Party may request changes to the Services by submitting to the other Party a completed Change Order during the Term of this Agreement. Any request by Client for changes in an Executed Order, including temporary suspension of the Services, must be made in a sufficient amount of time to permit Legion Technology to make the necessary scheduling adjustments. Legion Technology will attempt to minimize any expenses and costs associated with such rescheduling; however, Client agrees to reimburse Legion Technology for all reasonable and actual expenses that cannot be avoided (such as cancellation fees, non-refundable airline tickets, etc.) as a result of such rescheduling and changes in the Executed Order. Legion Technology will resume performance of the Services as soon as reasonably practicable based on Legion Technology’s available resources and obligations to other clients. No Change Order will be binding on the Parties unless agreed upon in writing by both Parties.

3.2 Pending Change Orders. Except to the extent changed by the Change Order, the scope of Services and Service Fees, as provided herein and in the then-current Executed Order, shall remain in full force and and effect.

 

4. SERVICE FEES.

4.1 Fees. Client shall pay for the Services invoiced under this Agreement in accordance with the “Fees” set forth in each applicable Executed Order.

Client shall be responsible for the payment of all such taxes, levies, fees, charges and duties listed above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client shall not be responsible for paying any taxes upon the real, personal, or intangible property of Legion Technology, or upon the net income or profits of Legion Technology.

It is the intention of the Parties that all Fees payable by Client under this Agreement shall be, and continue to be, payable through out the Term hereof.

4.5 Late Payments. Client’s payment for Services shall be deemed late when Client fails to remit payment, which is not being disputed in good faith, within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice. Any late payment shall bear interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1½ %) per month or the maximum rate allowed under law, whichever is lower, or fraction thereof, from the due date until paid in full. Disputed amounts, if the dispute is resolved in favor of Legion Technology, shall bear interest from the due date until paid. Notwithstanding any other provision under this Agreement, any undisputed invoice, or undisputed portion thereof, not paid within forty-five (45) days may result in termination or suspension of Services. Such interruption shall not relieve Client from its obligation to pay the undisputed amounts due and owing. Legion Technology also reserves the right to assert appropriate liens to ensure payment. Client agrees to reimburse Legion Technology its reasonable expenses, including attorney and other fees, incurred in collecting any amounts due and owing to Legion Technology.

4.6 Expenses. Client shall reimburse Legion Technology for reasonable, actual, documented expenses incurred by Legion Technology associated with the Services and identified in an applicable Executed Order.

If Client is the defaulting Party, Legion Technology may, upon written notice to Client, terminate this Agreement and all outstanding Executed Orders as of the date specified in such notice of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client shall pay Legion Technology for Services already performed prior to the date of termination.

5.2 For Insolvency.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Client may terminate the Services prior to the end of the Term such termination to be effective as of the date stated in Client’s written notice to Legion Technology; provided, however, that all fees otherwise due and payable through the end of the Term shall nonetheless be due and payable within the earlier of fifteen (15) days following the effective date of termination or net thirty (30) days from date of Legion Technology’s invoice.

5.4 Effects of Termination. Notwithstanding any termination of the Services, Client shall be liable for payment to Legion Technology for all Services provided to the date of termination and for all actual expenses incurred to the effective time of any such termination.
