6.5. If payment for any invoice is not received by ParkBee within the stipulated 30 calendar days payment terms, a Late Payment Service Fee will be applied. The Late Payment Service Fee will amount to an additional 5% of the total order value (excluding VAT) specified in the original invoice. For the sake of clarification, if an original order amount is EUR 1000 (excluding VAT), a late payment fee of 5% (e.g., EUR 50 (excluding VAT)) will be added to the outstanding amount.
6.6. In the event that the original invoice amount, plus any previously accrued Late Payment Fees, remains unpaid after 30 calendar days from the initial due date (i.e., Day 31 and onwards), an additional Late Payment Service Fee of 5% of the total order value will be applied for each subsequent 30-day period of non-payment.
6.7. ParkBee will calculate Late Payment Service Fees based on the outstanding balance of the invoice. These fees will continue to accrue for each 30-calendar day period until the full outstanding amount is settled.

ParkBee will do its best to find a suitable solution together with the Customer.
