7. Payment Terms. As set forth above and otherwise subject to the entirety of these Terms, these Terms grant to you free of charge only limited access to/use of the Free Public Content. Any and all other access to/use of the Site or Site Services by you is fee-based in accordance with the fee schedule located at Pricing (the “Fee Schedule”) – and also subject to the entirety of these Terms (including, without limitation, the below provisions regarding taxes – at section 14). Upon your purchase of access to/use of parts of the Site and/or Site Services covered by the Fee Schedule (the “Fee-Based Content/Services”), and, again, also subject to the entirety of these Terms, you may access/use (only) those parts of the Site and/or Site Services that you so purchased (i.e., Purchased Services) and the Free Public Content.
Fee-Based Content/Services can be paid for in advance (of any access/use) as directed by/through the Site (e.g., using credit/debit card, etc.). Please note, as it may not be obvious to you, that, when paying in advance for Fee-Based Content/Services, you will leave the Site and be directed to a third-party application/website to effectuate payment. Your access to/use of that third-party application/website is governed by separate terms and conditions to which Ramboll is not a party and you understand, acknowledge and agree that Ramboll shall have no liability whatsoever, to you or to any other person or entity, arising from, directly or indirectly, or otherwise relating to, your use of that, or any other, third-party application/website.
Alternatively, you may choose to have Ramboll invoice you for purchased Fee-Based Content/Services under the following terms. If you so choose, Ramboll will invoice you via the Site, email and/or physical invoice delivered to you by U.S.P.S. or other reputable courier (to the address that you place on file with Ramboll in relation to the Site). Unless otherwise agreed to by Ramboll in writing, you agree to pay Ramboll’s invoice immediately UPON RECEIPT in United States currency via check or money order made payable to “Ramboll US Corporation” and delivered to Ramboll US Corporation P.O. Box 8500-1980 Philadelphia PA 19178-1980. You also agree to reimburse Ramboll for any and all charges that it may incur if your payment is returned for insufficient funds or any other reason. You also agree that Ramboll shall be entitled to interest at a rate of one-and-a-half percent (1.5%) per month on any and all amounts invoiced that are not paid in full within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. You acknowledge, understand and agree that Ramboll may enable you to access/use Purchased Services before the related invoice is paid in full and, that, under those circumstances, Ramboll may, in its sole and absolute discretion, suspend such access/use until the related invoice is paid in full. You also agree that Ramboll shall be entitled to terminate any and all access/use by you to/of all or any part of the Site or Site Services (including, without limitation, Purchased Services) if you fail to pay in full any amount invoiced within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, and that, in such case, you shall not be entitled to any refund of any amount paid and Ramboll shall have no further obligation to you whatsoever. For purposes of these Terms, invoiced amounts shall be deemed paid only upon final bank clearance of the funds/instrument/mechanism through which payment is made.
If Ramboll determines that it is advisable/necessary to engage collection professionals and/or commence collection proceedings (including, without limitation, by commencing formal legal proceedings) to obtain payment on account of an unpaid invoice or any other payment(s) due to Ramboll under or related to these Terms, and Ramboll is the substantially prevailing party in such proceedings, you also shall pay Ramboll’s collection costs and costs associated with any such proceedings, including, to the extent applicable, but without limitation, arbitrator fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and a reasonable fee for the services of Ramboll’s internal resources and its out-of-pocket expenses.

If Ramboll is the prevailing party in any such civil action, Ramboll shall be awarded its costs and fees incurred in such civil action, including attorney’s fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs.
Ramboll also shall not be subjected to the foregoing arbitration requirements in an action strictly to collect unpaid fees not exceeding $50,000.00 and/or to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any lien. In such event, Ramboll may pursue its fee claim in any court of competent subject matter jurisdiction sitting in the Commonwealth of Virginia or the State of New Jersey, or, at Ramboll’s election in its sole discretion, in the U.S. state in which the subject products/services primarily are provided.
