within 90 days.

payable only and directly to Prestige; and

whether arising from or relating to the sale of goods or rendition of
services or arising from or relating to any other transaction or
occurrence, then in any such event Prestige shall have the right to

all amounts chargeable to Seller's account under this Agreement shall be
payable by Seller on demand.
8. NOTICE OF DISPUTE. Seller must immediately notify Prestige of any disputes
between any account debtor and Seller.

criminal liability.
