6.1 We will invoice the Charges to you monthly in arrears or as otherwise set out in the applicable Rate Sheet. We will deliver invoices by way of email, and reserve the right to issue invoices by post or in such other manner as may be agreed by the parties, to the person identified in the Order Form or otherwise notified by you to us. We may change the Charges set out in the Order Form on 30 days’ notice. The new Charges will take effect on the date set out in the relevant notice. All Charges are stated exclusive of and subject to any applicable tax (including sales tax or value added tax), duty, regulatory fee or surcharge or government levy, which will be invoiced by us and paid by you at the prevailing rate. Unless otherwise stated in the Rate Sheet(s), our invoices are due and payable thirty (30) days from receipt. You will pay invoices without any set-off or counterclaim and without any withholding or deduction unless required by law, in which case you will provide us with any document necessary to enable us to recover or obtain a credit for the amount withheld or deducted. All time-based use of the services is calculated at 1-minute minimum increments (and charged at such increments as set out in the Rate Sheet).

6.2 If you have reasonable grounds to dispute any portion of an invoice, you must pay the undisputed portion, and notify us of the grounds for disputing the remainder. Our records of your usage will be presumed accurate unless proved otherwise. If such a dispute is resolved against you, you will pay the relevant portion of the invoice and interest according to clause 6.3. You waive any right to challenge invoices not disputed within one (1) year of the date of the relevant invoice, in accordance with this clause 6.2. We will issue you a credit note if we over-charge you in any invoice. Conversely, we reserve the right to issue you an invoice correcting any under- or mis-billing in an invoice dated in the preceding six (6) months, unless the under- or mis-billing was due to your breach or fraud, in which case we will invoice for the full period allowable by law.

6.3 Interest will accrue and be paid by you on any sum invoiced but not paid in accordance with this Agreement from the date it is payable until payment (whether before or after any judgement) at the lower rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by law.

You shall be charged for the no show or cancellation in accordance with the Rate Sheet.

7.2 Other than for reasons caused by us, if you elect to reschedule a call you shall be charged a rescheduling fee in accordance with the Rate Sheet. If a call is rescheduled more than once in the same day, then only one single charge for the rescheduled call shall be applied.
