The Parties shall collaborate to create a customized Failed Payment recovery program (the “Program”) for Client. Client will work with and give the Company access to the Client’s existing systems and databases in order to identify Failed Payments, to update and correct billing information and to utilize such systems and databases in connection with recovering Failed Payments and updating Clients records as appropriate. Client and the Company acknowledge and agree that, if the Client’s payment processing system allows, the Company will manually re-try the Failed Payment on an agreed-upon schedule with Client, but that any such Failed Payments will be processed through Client’s processing system and not the Company’s.
1.2 Definitions. Each capitalized term used in this Agreement is defined in this Section 1.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement.

Should the Client breach this clause, then the Client will pay to Company a transfer fee of $50,000.
