All sums due and payable that remain unpaid after any applicable cure period herein will accrue interest as a late charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less.

6.1 For Annual Prepaid Agreements.
Merchant agrees to pay to PayPal the applicable annual fees for the applicable Services enrolled for and used by Merchant (the “ Annual Prepaid Service Fee ”) for twelve (12) months from the due date as described above in this Section 6, or twenty-four (24) months if Merchant prepays for two (2) years.

We will endeavor to provide you notice prior to the renewal of the Services at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the renewal date. Unless either party terminates the Agreement early in accordance with the terms herein or unless otherwise notified by PayPal electronically or via the PayPal Manager Web Site, then for each renewal term of this Agreement following the initial annual or bi-annual prepaid term, Merchant hereby authorises PayPal to charge Merchant’s credit card or DDR account that PayPal has on file for Merchant or invoice Merchant, as applicable, for the annual renewal period. In the event Merchant desires to request another payment method, Merchant shall contact Customer Support no less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the applicable prepaid term.
