An additional $25.00 will be charged for any bad checks.
4. FAILURE TO PAY
Client acknowledges that its failure to pay any amounts due hereunder timely, or any portion thereof, shall be a material breach of this Agreement for which BT may, in addition to pursuing all other remedies, immediately suspend all Services and may terminate this Agreement. Client shall reimburse BT for all expenses incurred by BT in exercising any of its rights under this Agreement or applicable law concerning a default in payment or another breach of this Agreement by Client, including reasonable attorneys' fees and the fees of any collection agency retained BT. If the Client does not pay for BT's Services when invoiced and within the Client's responsibility within this Agreement for any reason, BT will attempt to collect payment for such Services rendered using any and all previous payment methods willingly provided to BT and on file for any other purposes which may include other credit cards or bank accounts.
5. ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Work requests by the Client which are considered by BT to be outside of the scope of work will be billed at a rate between $80 - $150 per hour, depending on the requested Service, on a case-by-case basis. The Client must approve verbally or in writing any work that BT considers outside of this scope of work before any billing can be deemed payable.

It is the Client's sole responsibility to review, quality check, and provide BT's deliverables' final approval within the requested periods. Change requests received after the final approval will be billed separately.

BT will be free at any time to use such work and any data collected during the deliverability of Services to improve and enhance BT's offerings for professional advancement. If the Client feels as though BT has misrepresented the Client, then the Client may send a written request to BT for removal of such publication.
10. NON-SOLICITATION OF PERSONNEL
Each Party agrees not to hire, solicit for hire, or permit hiring the other Party's personnel directly or indirectly if the other Party still employs the personnel.
