Fees for all other services will be invoiced upon completion.  Payment terms are subject to approval of Gilbarco’s credit department.  If in Gilbarco's opinion, Buyer's financial condition reasonably appears to call for such action, Gilbarco may require payment in advance.  
      (b) Gilbarco may impose finance charges, the lower of one and one-half percent (1½%) per month or the highest rate allowed by law, on any amount past due.  If an invoice is not paid when due, Buyer shall pay all collection costs if this account is referred outside for collection or, if suit is brought to collect this account, Buyer agrees to pay all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, including those incurred on any appeal.  For amounts past due for services, Gilbarco reserves the right to discontinue the services until the account is made current, or terminate the services and seek full recovery for any outstanding fees and costs due.
      (c) Prices quoted are exclusive of, and Buyer agrees to pay, any foreign, federal, state or local excise, sales, use, personal property or any other taxes or duties, excepting only taxes based on Gilbarco's income. Any certificates or other evidence of applicable exemptions to such taxes or duties must be made available to Gilbarco prior to invoicing or such taxes or duties will be charged to Buyer, provided, however, that if Gilbarco does not collect such items from Buyer and is later requested or required to pay the same to any taxing authority, Buyer will promptly make such payment to Gilbarco or, if requested by Gilbarco, directly to such taxing authority.

    4. Product Installation.  Unless otherwise specified in writing on a quotation provided by an authorized representative of Gilbarco, Buyer assumes responsibility for installation. Gilbarco agrees to make installation and on-site technical support services available at Gilbarco's then-prevailing rates.  If Buyer’s site has broadband internet access and the product includes connectivity hardware at the time of commissioning, Gilbarco’s commissioning process requires configuring and registration of the product for Insite360 Services to allow Gilbarco the option to collect certain site information related to product hardware/software and performance data, to provide enhanced services to Buyer.
