2.1.1 Upon receipt of an Invoice Approval Notice, Skyscend may notify Supplier on the Site (each a “Supplier Notification”) of:

(a) the name and address of the Eligible Customer as contained in the Invoice Approval Notice;

(b) any Account or invoice number or other information contained in the Invoice Approval Notice to identify the invoice, payment request or purchase order giving rise to the payable;

2.2 Payment Election.

2.2.1 Supplier may elect on the Site one of the following payment options (each a “Payment Election”) for any Invoice Amount owed to Supplier by an Eligible Customer or for all Invoice Amounts owed to Supplier by an Eligible Customer:

Payment of the Invoice Amount on the Due Date (a “Due Date Payment Election”); or

(a) Payment of the Invoice Amount promptly on or following the Notification Date, less the Early Payment Discount (a “Prompt Payment Election”).

2.2.2 The Payment Election for all Invoice Amounts owed to Supplier by all Eligible Customers will be the Prompt Payment Election unless Supplier has designated the Due Date Payment Election as the default Payment Election on the Supplier Registration Form or in a subsequent election on the Site pursuant to Section 2.2.3.

2.2.3 Supplier may, by doing so on the Site, at any time withdraw or otherwise change Supplier’s Payment Election for any or all Invoice Amounts or for an Eligible Customer. The change will apply to all Invoice Amounts owing by the Eligible Customer for which Skyscend receives an Invoice Approval Notice after the date of the change.

2.2.4 Skyscend is authorized to act on Payment Elections given by email, or other written instructions, by anyone purporting to be an officer, employee or representative of Supplier.

2.3 Payment. All payments by Skyscend to Supplier may be made:

2.3.1 In Skyscend’s sole discretion and nothing herein shall be construed as a commitment by Skyscend to make any payments hereunder;

2.3.2 By transfers to any demand deposit account of Supplier designated by Supplier on the Site.

2.4 Assignment and Recourse.

2.4.1 If Skyscend pays an Invoice Amount in accordance with the Payment Election:

(a) Skyscend shall be subrogated to the rights of Supplier in respect of the Invoice Amount with the result that Skyscend shall be the assignee of the Supplier’s right to payment of the Invoice Amount from the Eligible Customer; and

(b) Supplier shall not have any claim against Eligible Customer for the Eligible Customer for the Invoice Amount to the extent of the payment made by Skyscend, inclusive of any Early Payment Discount included under the Payment Election in the computation of the amount of the payment.

2.4.2 Payment by an Eligible Customer of an Invoice Amount to Skyscend before Skyscend has paid the Invoice Amount to Supplier as provided in Section 2.4.1, shall, to the extent of the payment, bar Supplier from recourse against the Eligible Customer for the Eligible Customer’s obligation to pay the Invoice Amount to Supplier.

2.4.3 If an Eligible Customer rescinds an Invoice Approval Notice relating to any Invoice Amount, Skyscend shall notify Supplier by so indicating on the Site whereupon Skyscend shall not pay Supplier the Invoice Amount.

2.4.4 Any bar on Supplier’s recourse to the Eligible Customer in respect of the Invoice Amount under this section shall be an irrevocable and permanent waiver of Supplier’s recourse. The bar shall continue to apply even if Skyscend’s rights as subrogee or assignee in respect of the Invoice Amount are avoided or are otherwise not effective for any reason.

2.4.5 Supplier herely indemnifies the Eligible Customer and Skyscend from any loss arising out of either’s payment of an Account of the Eligible Customer to or for the account of the Supplier, rather than to an assignee thereof. This Section 2.4.5 shall be deemed an amendment to all present and future agreements between Supplier and the Eligible Customer, and the Eligible Customer shall be an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 2.4.5.

2.5 ACH Authorization. In the event that Skyscend makes any payment to Supplier which Supplier was not entitled to receive under Supplier’s contract with an Eligible Customer or applicable law, Supplier authorizes Skyscend to initiate electronic debit entries in the amount of such payment through the ACH system to any deposit account maintained by Supplier.
