All service and warranties will be suspended on the 21st day until the invoice is paid. For each 30 calendar days the invoice goes unpaid, a 10% late fee will be assessed and added to to invoice. Once the invoice is 90 calendar days past due, late fees will stop being assessed and Gigabytes Technology LLC will employ all legal means at its disposal to collect and recoup the invoice. This may include but is not limited to asset recovery and legal proceedings.

11. Severability. If any part of these Terms of Service is in conflict with law, regulation, or another part of this document, the remainder of the Terms of Service shall remain in effect.
