Buyer must provide Phoenix a valid certificate of tax exemption from the appropriate taxing authority if Buyer is exempt from paying sales tax. Payments not received in a timely manner shall be subject to interest at a rate of the lesser of the maximum allowed by law and 1.5% per month. Buyer is responsible for all payment collection costs incurred by Phoenix, including attorneys’ fees.
