(b) billing of Service Fees and other monthly recurring charges shall commence on the date that is seven days after Customer’s order of Subscription Services, or on the date RTMB provisions such Services, whichever is earlier;
(c) fees for Implementation and Professional Services and other one-time Service charges shall be billed upon order of the Services; and (d) shipping and related charges shall be billed upon shipment of the Equipment.

3.3 Payment and Credit Terms
Unless the Customer Agreement provides otherwise, all amounts due and payable under the Customer Agreement shall be payable via charge to the credit card, or ACH account provided by Customer, and payment is due 15 days from the invoice date (Net 15).
All Services provided to Customer on credit shall be subject to RTMB’s review and approval of Customer’s credit, and RTMB, in its reasonable discretion, may discontinue or limit Customer’s credit at any time, require a deposit or bank guarantee, or place a limit on the amount of charges that Customer can incur before making payment. By providing credit card, or ACH account information to RTMB, Customer authorizes RTMB to charge that account for all amounts due and payable hereunder in respect of the Services and Equipment ordered by Customer, and Customer agrees to notify RTMB promptly of any change to such information.
Unpaid balances are subject to a late payment charge of $25.00 and interest that accrues from the due date at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.
3.4 Taxes Customer is responsible for paying all taxes, levies, imports, duties, charges, fees or similar governmental assessments, including value-added tax ( VAT ), sales, use, withholding, public utility or universal service taxes or fees, and emergency services surcharges (i.e., 911, E911, 999, etc.) assessed or assessable by any governmental, fiscal or other authority relating to the sale and provision of Services to Customer and Customer’s use of Services (collectively, Taxes ), other than those assessable against RTMB based solely on its income.
RTMB shall invoice Customer for all such Taxes that RTMB reasonably believes it has a legal obligation to collect and remit (or in respect of any obligations that RTMB is permitted to pass on to its customers, as in the case of universal service fund contributions and similar Taxes) under applicable Law, and Customer shall pay all Taxes so invoiced. Any Taxes set forth in a quote or Service Order shall be calculated by RTMB in good faith based on the service address or addresses provided by Customer, but shall be non-binding estimates only.
If Customer asserts an exemption from any Taxes, Customer shall deliver to RTMB a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority, and Customer shall be liable for any Taxes assessed prior to such delivery. In no event shall Customer make any deduction to any amount payable under the Customer Agreement for or on account of any Taxes and withholdings of any nature imposed by any governmental, fiscal or other authority, except as required by law. If Customer is required by Law to make any such deduction, it will (a) first notify RTMB of such obligation, (b) furnish RTMB with receipts evidencing remittance of the money, and (c) pay such additional amounts as are necessary to ensure receipt by RTMB of the full amount that RTMB would have received but for the deduction.
