Scoop may bill: (1) in advance; (2) at the time of purchase; (3) shortly after purchase; or (4) if Customer has elected a subscription service, on a recurring basis. To the extent Scoop has not received Customer’s payment, in order to bring Customer’s account up to date, Scoop may bill Customer simultaneously for both past due and current amounts.

Customer shall pay all applicable taxes, unless Customer provides Scoop with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

If any amount owed by Customer is 30 days or more overdue, Scoop may, without limiting Scoop’s other rights and remedies, suspend access to the Workplace Planner until Customer pays such amounts owed.
