(b) Invoice Disputes. The Covered Entity will notify MSRC promptly and in reasonable detail of any objection by the Covered Entity to any item or statement on an invoice or the sufficiency of any supporting documentation. Any disputes that cannot be resolved by mutual agreement will be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Article X. The Covered Entity may withhold payment of any amount reasonably disputed by the Covered Entity, subject to MSRC’s rights under Section 7.01(c) below to require payment security. The payment of any invoiced amounts will not prejudice the Covered Entity’s right, within one year following the date of invoice, to object to or question any invoiced amount. Any disputed amount shall accrue interest at the rate specified in Part III of Schedule 3 from the due date until paid to MSRC or refunded to the Covered Entity. If a dispute is resolved in favor of MSRC and the Covered Entity has withheld payment of the disputed amount, the Covered Entity will promptly pay to MSRC the disputed amount plus interest. If a dispute is resolved in favor of the Covered Entity and the Covered Entity has previously paid the disputed amount to MSRC, MSRC will promptly refund to the Covered Entity the disputed amount plus interest.
