If LaunchDarkly has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible, the appropriate amount of such Taxes shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provides a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority in advance. The failure to include Taxes on an invoice does not relieve the Customer of its obligation to pay such Taxes as required in the applicable taxing jurisdiction. All amounts payable to LaunchDarkly under this Agreement shall be without set-off and without deduction of any taxes, levies, imposts, charges, withholdings and/or duties of any nature which may be levied or imposed, including without limitation, value added tax, customs duty and withholding tax. Further, Customer agrees that in the case where Taxes are required to be deducted from payments to LaunchDarkly, such as but not limited to VAT, GST or similar withholding obligations, Customer will increase the Fees payable to LaunchDarkly so that LaunchDarkly receives from Customer (without any liability for Taxes) the amount equal to the total Fees LaunchDarkly would have received but for such withholding or deductions (the “True Up”).
5.1.2 OVERDUE CHARGES. If any invoiced amount not subject to good faith dispute is not received by LaunchDarkly by the due date, then without limiting LaunchDarkly’s rights or remedies Customer agrees that LaunchDarkly may impose interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.
5.2 PURCHASES THROUGH A PARTNER. For any Services purchased by Customer through a Partner, the pricing and payment terms are established through the order or agreement entered into by and between Customer and the Partner and all payments will be made directly to Partner. If a Partner is entitled to terminate or suspend any Services purchased by Customer due to non-payment and notifies LaunchDarkly, LaunchDarkly may suspend or terminate the Services identified by the Partner. Subsequently, if Partner notifies LaunchDarkly that Customer is entitled to reinstatement of any Services purchased by Customer pursuant to the Order, and Customer is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this SaaS Agreement, LaunchDarkly shall reinstate the Services as soon as reasonably practicable.
