  i.

Customer shall pay Zapata in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Order Form for all Services performed in conformance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable Order Form prior to the effective date of such termination.

  C.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form, Customer agrees to pay the Fees and other approved expenses due under this Agreement. Unless otherwise set forth on the applicable Order Form or otherwise mutually agreed to in writing, all amounts are due in U.S. dollars and payable within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Zapata (“Due Date”). In the event Customer disputes the amount of any invoice for any reason, Customer shall advise Zapata in writing prior to the due date of the portion of the Fees which Customer disputes and make timely payment of any reasonably undisputed portion. As to any Fees, other than Fees reasonably and properly disputed prior to the due date, that remain unpaid by the due date, then without limitation to any additional rights Zapata may have, whether statutory, contractual, legal, or equitable: (i) Customer shall accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance each month (or such lower amount as is permitted under applicable law) and (ii) Zapata may suspend Customer’s license or access to the provision of Managed Services until all outstanding amounts are paid in full.

The Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including any value-added, sales, use, withholding, or other taxes due by virtue of Customer’s purchase(s) under this Agreement (“Taxes”) all of which are the responsibility of Customer. If Zapata has a legal obligation to pay or collect taxes, Zapata may invoice Customer for such amounts at any time, including after payment of the Fees, and Customer will pay such amounts unless Customer provides Zapata with a valid tax exemption certificate applicable to such amounts.

 

  E.

Other than expenses which Zapata expressly agrees to bear in an Order Form or otherwise in writing, Customer shall pay in full all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including travel expenses and costs of classical and/or quantum compute, incurred by Zapata that result from providing the Managed Services to Customer under this Agreement; provided, however, that Customer shall not be liable for any expense in excess of $5,000 unless Customer authorizes and approves such expense in writing.
