Late fees of 24% annual (2% per month) will accrue. Accounts on which any charge enters a 60 day past due status shall be deemed delinquent. Once an account is considered delinquent, Outlook Media has the right to terminate the contract. Advertisers may also choose to terminate a contract at any time by giving written notice to Outlook Media.
