If Customer requires a purchase order to complete its purchase and notifies DataStax prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Order Schedule, then the Products will not be provided until Customer delivers a conforming purchase order unless agreed otherwise in writing.

3.2 Taxes. Customer is responsible for any duties, customs fees, or taxes (other than DataStax’s income tax) associated with the purchase of the Products provided by DataStax, (including any related penalties or interest) (“Taxes”), and shall pay the listed fees without deduction for Taxes.

Customer is responsible for updating its credit card or bank information to ensure payment can be made. Customer shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by DataStax in collecting the unpaid Fees, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees, court costs, and collection agency fees.

If Customer believes that DataStax has incorrectly billed Customer, Customer shall use reasonable endeavors to contact DataStax in writing within 60 days of the date of receipt of invoice (“Dispute Period”) for the charge in dispute, specifying the error. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Customer waives any and all claims relating to the Fees unless Customer has properly notified DataStax of the dispute within the Dispute Period.
