Satworx will provide reasonable assistance to Company to minimize the amount of such withholdings or deductions, including providing any relevant certification of its status as a non-resident or a jurisdiction or of its entitlement to benefits under a treaty.

(D) Payment terms.

1. Customer will pay all invoices within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice, and in accordance with the instructions as stated on the invoice.

The provision of such third party guarantee, deposit, letter of credit, or other form of security does not relieve Customer of its payment obligations specified herein.

(F) All charges will be in accordance with Satworx’ then current charges or the quotation as provided to Customer for the applicable Service and/or Equipment. Satworx reserves the right to revise such charges from time to time.

(G) Customer acknowledges that if it uses the service of another service provider with Satworx as the Accounting Authority, it will pay to Satworx the amount charged by that service provider plus a fifteen percent (15%) administrative fee for processing the charges.

(H) Customer acknowledges its responsibility to provide and pay for all equipment and services required to connect Customer.

(I) Customer must pay all undisputed amounts when due. If any portion is in dispute, Customer must, within thirty (30) days of the invoice date containing such disputed amount, give notice to Satworx of the amount it disputes ("Disputed Amount") and include in such notice the specific details and reasons for disputing each tem. For avoidance of doubt, claims of unauthorized use, fraudulent use or any other misuse will not constitute a valid basis for dispute of an invoice. If the Disputed Amount is resolved in favor of Satworx, Customer must pay the Disputed Amount with appropriate late charges, if applicable, upon final determination of such dispute. Satworx will issue credits against amounts owing on subsequent invoices upon resolution of any disputed amounts in favor of Customer. An invoice is deemed to be accepted by Customer if no written notice of dispute is provided before the date the payment is due.

(L) Pricing Plans. Certain Inmarsat services, including BGAN, Swift Broadband, and Fleet Broadband, may be sold under pricing plans, some of which may require minimum service term commitments. Accordingly, termination of a service plan that specifies a minimum service term prior to the expiration of the minimum service term will result in Customer being liable to pay Satworx the applicable termination charge as specified in the particular service plan. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer herein acknowledges that the assessment of a termination charge is reasonable and is not a penalty, but rather constitutes liquidated damages for the loss of a bargain.
