Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Hello,

I have a commercial customer that I service their pools, 1- 7 days a week, 2 Pools 5 days a week. I invoice at the beginning of the month. With a due upon receipt and 20 day grace period before late fees are applied. On numerous occasions over the last 4 years or invoices go 3-4 months without pay. Recently I started to apply these late fees. They did not pay them and said sent an email stating that they pay after services are rendered so the late fees do not apply. Starting that my February invoice would not be paid until March no late fees. Are they allowed to do this? They are a huge company. I have to supply all chemicals for their pools. I can not work this way. What are my options?

You cannot change your agreement after the fact. Your invoices should indicate late fees apply after 20 days.. They should also indicate reasonable attorney fees should apply.
