Reactivation of the Application Services will only be performed during NUI Media’s regular business hours. If Client is delinquent in its payments, NUI Media may, upon written notice to Client, modify the payment terms to require full payment before the further provision of the Application Services or require other assurances to secure Client’s payment obligations hereunder. The Client is responsible for paying all costs of collection, including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and, where lawful, collection agency fees.
