Buyer agrees that should the late payment charge be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to violate any law, Buyer’s sole remedy against Seller for such violation will be the application of any late payment charge paid in excess of the maximum rate allowable by law toward the unpaid account balance (or a refund of such excess if no account balance remains unpaid).

Buyer further agrees that, in the event any action arising out of or related to the Agreement between Buyer and Seller, and Seller prevails, Buyer will pay Seller its actual attorney’s fees and other costs incurred as a result of or in connection with such action.
