7. FEES & PAYMENT

7.2 Fees will be calculated by reference to data recorded or logged by us. Records held by us will be conclusive evidence of your usage of the Services or Packages and Fees payable by you expect in the case of manifest error.
7.3 Before advancing any credit to you, we may require security for payment from you and/or prepayment of Fees at our discretion.
7.4 We will usually invoice you monthly for Fees. Our first invoice will be issued either in the month that we commence provisioning Services or a Package to you or, in our discretion, the following month.

although this may vary in certain cases. We will endeavor to bill you within the next normal billing period for charges billed in arrears, but we reserve the right to bill you for those charges in later billing periods.
7.7 All Fees are due and payable by the due date shown on the invoice (“Due Date”). Payment must be made by the Due Date in full by cheque, credit card, direct debit or any other method permitted by us.
7.8 If an invoice is paid by cheque or direct debit from your bank account and that cheque or direct debit is dishonoured, cancelled or otherwise fails, we may charge and you must pay a dishonour fee which will be added to your next invoice.
7.9 Supplier charges:-

7.9.1.1 if you approach that Supplier or person directly, or otherwise than through us; or
7.9.1.2 for connection or initiation of any service or for cancellation of any service.
7.9.2 If you use an override code to access services offered by another Supplier, you will be billed by that Supplier for charges you incur unless we have a separate arrangement in place for the Supplier to charge us directly, in which case we will pass on the charges to you in accordance with this clause 7.9.
7.10 If you do not pay any monies due to us under our Agreement by the due date specified on an applicable invoice, we may impose a late payment charge or default interest calculated under our Schedule of Fees and Charges.
7.11 If we incur costs in recovering overdue amounts from you, including (without limitation) mercantile agents’ costs, disconnection of services costs, legal costs, including service fees and search fees, we may recover these amounts from you in addition to the overdue amounts.

7.13 Unless expressly stated otherwise, all fees, charges and other amounts payable (and all quotes given) under or in accordance with the terms of our Agreement (including charges for Services or the Package, repair fees, late payment charges, Early Termination Fees, reconnection fees, installation costs) are exclusive of GST and you must pay to us in addition to the fees, charges and other amounts an amount equal to any GST payable on the supply of the Services or the Package. That additional amount is payable at the same time as any part of the fees, charges and other amounts for the Services or the Package is payable. We will issue a tax invoice to you for the supply of those Services or the Package at or before that time.
7.14 You must pay all charges without any set off, counter claim or deduction. We may set off any amount payable to you against any amount payable by you to us.
Your invoice will be calculated with reference to data recorded by us and our Suppliers. Our records are sufficient evidence of amounts payable by you unless shown to be incorrect.
8. DISPUTES
8.1 All disputes arising under our Agreement, including a dispute about an invoice, will be dealt with in accordance with our applicable Policy.
9. SECURITY DEPOSIT & SPEND LIMITS
9.1 We may from time to time, at our sole discretion, set a dollar limit for the amount we will allow you to spend on the Services or the Package during a particular period.
9.2 The Spend Limit is only an internal guideline for our own credit management action, which may be varied by us from time to time for any reason and at our discretion.
9.3 If you exceed your Spend limit, we may (without limitation):
9.3.1 verbally or in writing (including transmitting the notice to your email address) advise you of total cumulative charges; and
9.3.2 issue you with an interim invoice, upon which payment within the time specified in the invoice must be made by you, failing which we may suspend or terminate the supply of all Services and/or Packages (as applicable) in accordance with clause 17.
9.4 We may also monitor your Services for excessive or unusual usage or your level of liability for charges for such usage, but do not promise to do so. You acknowledge and agree that in addition to our rights under clause 17 we can suspend, cancel or Bar your Service upon reasonable verbal or written notice to you (including transmitting the notice to your email address) if we have reasonable grounds for believing that you represent a credit risk in relation to the Service, including where:-
9.4.1 the Services are being used in an excessive or unusual way or an unusually high volume or spend for the relevant Service when compared with previous account activity for that Service. For example, there may be excessive or unusual use if you have a call that remains connected for an unusually long period of time or where an unusually large volume of calls to premium-rate or international services start being made from your Service;
9.4.2 you fail to respond to notices from us about unusually high volume or spend;
9.4.3 you fail to pay a current bill in circumstances where your payment history indicates a series of late payments, dishonoured payments or failures to pay. If we do suspend, Bar or cancel your Service, you still have to pay for any charges incurred for any excessive or unusual usage (regardless of how caused) and the provisions relating to liability and indemnity also remain unaffected. If you wish to Bar access to premium rate services from the Services we provide you, please contact us.
9.5 We will not be responsible for any equipment tampering or service fraud. Should you have any questions in relation to steps which may be taken to reduce the potential risk of fraud in relation to a Service or telecommunications equipment, please contact us and we will endeavour to provide such information or direct you to an appropriate source of information.
