Tripartite Agreement Payment Terms
Summary
Clause 5.1 of the tripartite agreement requires EDOTCo to pay a $25,000 security deposit to CAIC within 14 days of the Implementation Effective Date. This deposit ensures EDOTCos commitment to fulfilling its obligations and provides CAIC with financial security against potential non-performance. If EDOTCo breaches the agreement, CAIC can deduct fees from the deposit. EDOTCo must replenish any used portion of the deposit. If all obligations are met, CAIC will return the deposit without interest within 30 days after the agreement ends. EDOTCo should confirm receipt of CAICs follow-up, acknowledge the payment obligation, provide a payment timeline, and ensure future compliance to avoid deductions.Full Conversation
