Any member whose charges have not been paid within 45 days after billing shall be in default and shall not be entitled to further voting privileges nor to have its director hold any office nor to use any LOGIS facilities or programs until such time as no longer in default.

They shall not be retroactively applied to new members. (b) Class 2 Charges. These charges shall be made to cover the costs of design and development of computer programs and systems and other capital costs.
