TERMS AND CONDITIONSPlease Read the Following Terms and Conditions:
1. NEBO SERVICES. During the Term (as defined below) Customer may use the NEBO electronic transmission system (the "System") and NEBO shall provide the services selected by Customer in Exhibit A - Service Description" (the "Services"). No rights are granted except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement. NEBO reserves the right, from time to time, without liability, to suspend, revise, modify or update any part of the Services, the System or its functionality, upon reasonable notice. 2. CHARGES. Customer shall pay all fees and costs in the amounts, on the dates and otherwise, as specified in "Exhibit B-Statement of Charges" (the "Payment(s)"). Invoices for "Transaction Fees" (which shall be included in the definition "Payment(s)") will be submitted to Customer within fifteen (15) business days of the end of each calendar month for transactions transmitted by Customer during the preceding month. Payments for the Services are due and payable to NEBO upon receipt of the invoice. A transaction will be considered transmitted if it is routed by Customer through the System to a Trading Partner (as defined below), whether or not such Trading Partner accepts or adjudicates such transaction. "Trading Partner" means any laboratory, pharmacy, pharmacy benefits manager, medical equipment supply company, disease management company, third party administrator, health care provider, Payer or other content provider to which NEBO transmits transactions or from which NEBO receives transactions. "Payer" means any Medicaid or Medicare agency, fiscal intermediary or fiscal agent, or commercial insurance carrier or its intermediary and which is listed as a current/active payer in the NEBO web site's Payer database; such listing being subject to the express disclaimers set forth therein. Each submission shall be considered a separate transaction. If any invoice is not paid within thirty (30) days from invoice date, a late charge equivalent to the lesser of 1 1/2% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law of the unpaid balance shall accrue daily until payment is made. All payments shall be made in United States currency. NEBO will not recognize any restrictive endorsement such as "paid in full" on any payment from Customer; any such payment will be applied to Customer's outstanding balance and will not serve as a settlement of the account. Customer shall also be responsible for any applicable federal, state or local taxes or charges, except any taxes imposed on NEBO's income. NEBO shall have the right to change the Payment amounts, provided NEBO gives Customer no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such change, and Customer shall then have the right within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of such change to terminate this Agreement in writing, effective on the date of such change. Notwithstanding the above, NEBO shall have the right to increase any Payment(s) to offset any increase to NEBO in the costs of providing the Services as a result of increases in the costs charged by, or otherwise caused by, any service supplier, carrier or any federal, state or local governmental agency or regulatory authority. Such increase shall become effective as of the date on which NEBO notifies the Customer of such increase. 3.
