If the Customer does not report or does not provide such substantiating documentation within that period, the Customer shall be deemed to have waived its right to dispute any and all portions of that invoice.
Except for bona fide disputed amounts, any failure to make a payment of any Fees or taxes in strict conformity with the requirements entitles Atomos Technologies (OPC) Private Limited to suspend, in whole or in part, access to Services until such payment is received.

The Customer agrees that Atomos Technologies (OPC) Private Limited shall not be liable to Customer or to any third party for any liabilities, claims or expenses arising from or relating to suspension of the Services resulting from Customer’s non-payment unless Atomos Technologies (OPC) Private Limited suspends the Services without giving Customer 30 calendar days written notice to rectify its failure to pay.
No refunds or credits for Fees will be provided if you elect to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of your Term. If you terminate this Agreement prior to the end of your Term, or Atomos Technologies (OPC) Private Limited effects such termination, in addition to other amounts you may owe Atomos Technologies (OPC) Private Limited, you must immediately pay any then unpaid Fees associated with the remainder of your Term.
