Altium shall be entitled to invoice Customer on the effective date of the relevant Order Form or SOW (as applicable).
    2. Unpaid Fees. If Customer does not pay an amount by the scheduled due date, Altium may withhold or suspend Customer’s access to the affected Software or its provision of the Professional Services, terminate the relevant Order Form or SOW or this Agreement and accelerate the due date of all remaining payments (in which case, Customer shall owe the entire outstanding balance as soon as Customer receives written notice from Altium that Customer’s payment is due).

If Altium is required by law to collect and remit any such taxes, Altium may invoice Customer for such taxes and Customer agrees to pay the invoiced amount to Altium. If any payments made hereunder are subject to deduction of any withholding taxes required by applicable law or income tax treaty then in force between the ’parties’ respective governments, Customer may withhold taxes on payments made to Altium under this Agreement, and remit to Altium only the net proceeds. Customer shall remit any such taxes withheld to the appropriate government authority and shall provide Altium with properly executed certificates, receipts, or other documentation as evidence of Customer’s remittance of such taxes to such government authority within a reasonable period of time, but in any event within 60 days after the payment made to Altium from which withholding tax payment was withheld. Customer shall provide reasonable cooperation to Altium in obtaining tax exemption for withholding tax under local country procedures or attempt to recover any taxes withheld in excess of the amount required by law. If Customer is subject to a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable tax treaty, Altium shall provide such evidence as required under local tax law to support that Altium is eligible for such reduced rate.
    5. Bankruptcy. If Customer becomes the subject of any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or similar proceedings or make a general assignment for the benefit of Customer’s creditors, Altium may apply any payments Customer has previously made to Altium for products or services not yet delivered by Altium against any amounts Customer owes Altium at that time for products or services that have been delivered by Altium (under this Agreement or otherwise).
