The Outstanding Fees clause stipulates that any unpaid fees or dues incurred by one party must be settled within a specified timeframe. Failure to settle these outstanding fees may result in additional penalties, interest charges, or legal action to recover the owed amount.

This clause also typically includes provisions outlining how such information should be handled, protected, and used by the receiving party to prevent unauthorized disclosure or misuse.
