  2. Upon expiry of the payment term, the Client will automatically be considered to be in default, without notice of default being required. The Client will then be liable to pay penalty interest at a rate of 2% per month. As soon as the Client defaults, all the Provider’s (future) receivables from the Client will be due and payable with immediate effect, while the Client will then also be in default with respect to these receivables without notice of default being required, under Section 6:80 et seq of the Netherlands Civil Code. The Provider will in such a case be authorised to suspend the Client’s access to the System until all amounts due have been paid in full.
