The obligations of Cothought Social hereunder are conditional upon observance by the Client of the payment obligations to Cothought Social. Cothought Social reserves the right to suspend performance of its services until receipt of payment of the amounts due, but this suspension may not be interpreted as a termination of this Agreement by Cothought Social. Where the Client fails to observe its payment obligations within the periods set out in the Agreement, Cothought Social shall send a registered letter to the Client in order to declare suspension of its services within 4 days from the receipt of the registered letter. Furthermore, default of payment by the Client, where it cannot invoke the infringement by Cothought Social of one of the clauses of the Agreement or the termination of activity, shall result in the application of an indemnity equal to 10% of the sums due together with interest for delay. All payments must be in US dollars. Client hereby authorizes Cothought Social to charge the credit card indicated on the cover page hereof automatically for all Services fees that may accrue for any period or for any past-due balances in order to bring Client’s account to current status.
