3. INVOICING AND PAYMENT
3.1. If a non-recurring installation charge or setup fee (“Installation Charge”) is specified in an Order Form, CN will invoice Customer for and Customer will pay such Installation Charge upon the effective date of the Order Form (“Order Form Effective Date”). If the Installation Charge is “estimated”, Customer shall pay an initial amount, as specified on such Order Form, on the Order Form Effective Date and the remaining balance of the “actual” Installation Charge upon the Commencement Date. The balance of the actual Installation Charge will be invoiced by CN and paid by Customer within thirty (30) days of such invoice.

If a recurring charge (“Recurring Charge”) (e.g. Monthly Charge, Quarterly Charge, Annual Charge, etc.) is specified in an Order Form, CN will invoice Customer for and Customer will pay Recurring Charge in advance for each period and within thirty (30) days from the date of such invoice. CN will begin to invoice the Recurring Charge on the Commencement Date. Invoices for partial months will be pro-rated.
3.3. If a prepayment (“Prepayment”) is specified in an Order Form, CN will invoice Customer for and Customer will pay such Prepayment upon the Order Form Effective Date. If a Prepayment is for a portion of a Term, the amount of such Prepayment will be applied as a credit to the final Recurring Charges at the end of such Term.

In the event that Customer places an order for Services from CN using a method acceptable to CN other than a Sales Order, including the CN Website or Support Ticketing System, the initial rates and fees for such Services will be CN’s then-current list price for such Services. The rates and fees for Services ordered by Customer on an Order Form or Online/Phone Order will remain in effect for one year from the date of the Order. Thereafter, rates and fees will be subject to change, at CN’s reasonable discretion, upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there are no restrictions on CN’s right to modify its rates and fees for Services as to Orders not in effect prior to such changes.

Without limiting the foregoing, Customer is responsible for timely paying in full all sales, use, transfer, privilege, excise, and all other taxes and duties, whether international, national, state or local, however designated, now in force or enacted in the future, which are levied or imposed by reason of the performance by CN or Customer under this Agreement or by Customer with respect to its operations and use of the Datacenter Facility and Customer’s Equipment, including any leasehold/license pass thru items, if any (“Taxes”); but the term “Taxes” will exclude income taxes on CN’s profits which may be levied against CN.

Any applicable Taxes that CN must collect and remit which must be paid directly to CN will be stated separately on each invoice. In addition, Customer’s Equipment will not be construed to be fixtures, and Customer is responsible for preparing and filing any necessary return with, and paying any and all Taxes separately levied or assessed against Customer’s equipment to any governmental, quasi- governmental or tax authorities by the date such payments are due.

16. EARLY TERMINATION CHARGES
16.1. If an Order Form is terminated prior to expiration by reason of: (i) Customer termination (“Termination for Convenience”), if such termination is not an exercise of Customer’s rights or remedies under the Agreement, or (ii) a Customer Event of Default for failure to pay any payment, as provided, herein, then, in addition to all other sums due and owing, Customer agrees to pay an “Early Termination Charge” to CN.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, CN may seek all other available remedies in law and in equity in the case of Customer’s default resulting from any reason, other than nonpayment.
