    3. Consequences of Late Payment or Non-Payment
      1. We will not provide you with a Prepaid Service if you do not pay the monthly fee in full by the due date.
      2. In the case of all Services that are payable monthly in arrears, we must receive your payment in full within thirty (30) days of the date invoicing. Otherwise you will be considered to be in arrears. If your invoice is unpaid after 30 days, our billing system will automatically add to the invoice a late fee equal to 5% of the value of the invoice. Direct Deposit payments may take up to 2 bank business days to reach our account and be processed, and any late fee incurred due to this delay will stand. It is your responsibility to ensure your payment reaches us on time. Credit Card payments are preferred as they are processed immediately. For accounts in arrears, if any amount is more than seven (7) days overdue, then we may suspend service to such account and bring legal action to collect the full amount due, including any lawyers’ fees and costs, without giving you any notice that your account is in arrears.

We reserve the right to delete your suspended machines or services without notice to you if your Account is more than 45 days overdue.
      4. If you default in any payment, or you suffer an act of insolvency or bankruptcy (the “Event of Default”), then we may immediately suspend the Services we provide you with and:
        1. accelerate the due date for payment of all monies owing and outstanding to us and those amounts will become immediately due and payable;
        2. we may invoice you for the value of any Services supplied and other out of pocket expenses incurred (including any bank charges, late payment fees and dishonour fees due to any payment default), but not yet invoiced, which amounts will become immediately due and payable;
        3. we will charge you a one time, late payment fee of 5% of the invoiced amount that you have not paid on time; and
        4. we may cancel any rebate, discount or allowance due or payable to you, or which you would otherwise be entitled to receive, as at the date of the Event of Default.
      5. Your contract with us, much like an electricity or gas account, is legally binding. We trust that you will pay for your service as stipulated with your contract. If, however, you fail to do so without informing us of a change in situation and without responding to our attempts to contact and resolve with you, we may have to proceed with collections activity. If an account has been written off, we may refer the account to a Debt Collection Agency for further collection activity. This will only take place once all appropriate Credit Management action has been exhausted by we. Once referred to a Collections Agency, if no payment is then received within 60 days, the account may be referred to a second or third agency. Any costs of commission for amounts recovered will be charged to the customer’s account. These agencies may, at their own discretion, seek to commence legal action in order to retrieve funds. Should all activities with Collection Agencies be exhausted, Debts may be sold to a Debt Buyer that is a current member of an ASIC approved external dispute resolution scheme. Customers will be notified within 14 days of the debt being sold.

Any substantive changes, i.e., change of commissions will be made with at least 14 days notice by email and onsite update of agreement. Notification of all changes will also be broadcast in an email message to all affiliates providing you have not opted out of receiving further communications from us.
      2. IF ANY MODIFICATION ARE UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT.

If your Data is important to you or your business, then we suggest that you also take out an insurance policy against any loss or damage suffered or incurred by you for any Data loss or corruption.

Serversaurus reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate or suspend your access to all or any part of the Services at any time, with or without notice, effective immediately, including but not limited to as a result of your violation of any of these Terms and Conditions of Service or any law, if you suffer an Insolvency Event, we are required to do so by law, or if you misuse system resources, such as, by employing programs that consume excessive network capacity, CPU cycles, or disk IO. Any such termination or suspension may result in the forfeiture and destruction of information associated with your Account.
