authorized representative of VIP Card Network. In
the event of nonpayment of any agency account, prior
to referring such account for third party
collections, VIP Card Network reserves the right to
contact the agency's client(s), as disclosed
principal(s), for payment. If the outstanding
balance is still not satisfied, VIP Card Network may
proceed with collections against both the agency and
its client(s). No such action on the part of VIP
Card Network shall relieve the agency of liability
for the debt.

notification. VIP Card Network reserves the right to
