"All amounts not paid when due will accrue interest (without the requirement of a notice) at the lower of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permissible by law until the unpaid amounts are paid in full. Fees do not include any taxes, duties or similar charges.Excerpt from NVIDIA NIM's Terms of Use
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The 1.5% per month interest rate may interact with applicable usury law or statutory interest rate limitations in certain jurisdictions, including EU member states and U.S. states with commercial interest rate caps. The agreement caps the rate at the highest rate permissible by law, which provides a jurisdiction-specific ceiling but requires Customer to assess the applicable legal maximum in its jurisdiction. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. The no-notice interest accrual mechanism means that payment disputes or processing delays may result in automatically accrued interest charges that are not immediately visible to finance teams. Enterprise accounts payable processes should be reviewed to ensure invoice payment timelines are compatible with the agreement's terms. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU member states with specific commercial late payment legislation such as the EU Late Payment Directive may impose different default interest rate regimes that interact with the contractual rate. U.S. state usury laws vary and may cap the enforceable interest rate below 1.5% per month in certain contexts. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Finance and procurement teams should confirm that the 1.5% per month rate is permissible in the applicable jurisdiction and that invoice approval and payment processes can accommodate the payment timelines stated in Order Forms to avoid automatic interest accrual. The no-notice mechanism means interest accrual is not contingent on a demand letter or invoice. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether the 1.5% per month rate is enforceable in the Customer's jurisdiction, and whether any dispute resolution or good-faith payment dispute procedures can suspend interest accrual during a dispute. The agreement does not appear to include an explicit provision suspending interest during a bona fide payment dispute.
