1. ORDERS AND PAYMENTS
1.1             Orders. Customer’s signature (electronic or physical) of an Estimate is a non-cancellable Order by Customer for Product. Orders are not binding until accepted by Fonality, in its sole discretion. All Orders and/or shipments shall be Free on Board (FOB) Fonality North Sydney (Incoterms 2010). Once an Order is accepted by Fonality, it may be changed or cancelled ONLY with the written consent of Fonality.  Fonality may require Customer to undergo a credit assessment at any time, including prior to Fonality providing Customer with the Product. Fonality may at any time refuse to supply the Product to Customer if Customer fails such credit assessment or Fonality considers Customer represents a credit risk. If Fonality requires Customer to undergo a credit assessment, Customer must provide Fonality or its nominated credit agency with such accurate and up-to-date information as may be requested by Fonality to enable Fonality or its nominated credit agency to make a proper assessment of Customer's credit standing.
1.2             Payments. Fees are exclusive of any customs duties, freight, taxes (sales, use, value added, excise, federal, state, local, Goods and Services Tax (“GST”), public utility, universal service, personal property tax, or other similar taxes), all of which are your responsibility. You agree to pay all amounts due upon receipt of invoice.  If amounts due remain unpaid for 7 days after Fonality has notified Customer of the non-payment then Fonality reserves the right to either suspend or terminate Customer’s access to and/or use of the Product and to terminate this Agreement. Delinquent payments are subject to a late-payment charge of the greater of 15% of the outstanding balance, or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is higher.
