Doesn't matter - they work anyway. Nobody in accounts payable is going to get into the details of whether things are enforceable or not. They'll just pay your invoice instead.

This is not a universal truth. Discount incentives work much better.

The clients who pay late will pay their invoices without the late fees anyway, in my experience. Now you’re tracking down payment for your work and the fees.

This is not a universal truth. See what I did there?

It depends, lots of larger professional ap just don't work that way. They don't choose when things are paid. They are trained to look for discounts though
