If payment will be made by check or if Client’s credit card issuer rejects any amount charged on Client’s credit card, amounts owed to Sense will be invoiced to Client’s address for invoices as designated by Client or, if not designated, then the address printed on this Agreement. If any Client payment is more than thirty (30) days past due, interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (or, if lower, the maximum rate permitted by applicable law) shall accrue.
