Credit Availability and Access Restrictions

Licensee shall receive initial access to the Smartwiz Platform upon payment of the First Installment.
Licensee will NOT receive full credits until all three installments have been paid in full.
Failure to pay any installment by its due date will result in suspension of platform access and credits until payment is received.

CRITICAL PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

No Refund After First Payment: Once the Licensee has made the First Installment payment and gained access to the Smartwiz Platform, the first installment payment is non refundable. The Licensee has 7 days to request a refund from the initial payment date, after 7 days, the licensee waives any right to cancel this agreement or dispute the remaining installment obligations. The Licensee remains liable for all outstanding installments regardless of platform usage.
Full Financial Liability: Licensee is fully and entirely responsible for all three installment payments. Licensor may pursue collection action, including but not limited to demand letters, collection agencies, and legal action, to recover any unpaid amounts.

Late Payment and Default

Any installment not paid by 11:59 PM on the due date shall be considered late.
Upon any late payment, Licensor shall immediately suspend all platform access and credits until payment is received.
If any installment remains unpaid for more than 30 days past the due date, Licensor may terminate this agreement immediately and pursue all available legal remedies to recover outstanding amounts, including collection costs and reasonable attorney's fees.
