DISPUTED AMOUNTS AND ESCROW ACCOUNTS. 5.1 If any portion of an amount due to a Party (the “Billing Party”) under this Agreement is subject to a bona fide dispute between the Parties, the Party billed (the “Non-Paying Party”) shall, prior to the Bill Due Date, give written notice to the Billing Party of the amounts it disputes (“Disputed Amounts”) and include in such written notice the specific details and reasons for disputing each item provided, however, a failure to provide such notice by that date shall not preclude a Party from subsequently challenging billed charges for a period of two (2) years from the Bill Due Date. 5.2 If the Non-Paying Party disputes a charge and does not pay such Disputed Amounts by the Bill Due Date, such Disputed Amounts shall be subject to late payment charges. If the Non-Paying Party disputes charges and the dispute is resolved in favor of such Non-Paying Party, the Billing Party shall credit the invoice of the Non-Paying Party for the amount of the Disputed Amounts along with any applicable late payment charges no later than the second Bill Due Date after the resolution of the Dispute. Accordingly, if a Non-Paying Party disputes charges and the dispute is resolved in favor of the Billing Party, the Non- Paying Party shall pay the Billing Party the amount of the Disputed Amounts and any associated late payment charges no later than the second Bill Due Date after the resolution of the Dispute. In no event, however, shall any late payment charges be assessed on any previously assessed late payment charges.
