Customer agrees to pay all fees and charges associated with the use of the Service such as service fees and charges for installation and service calls and other items supplied, including applicable taxes. Monthly recurring fees are payable monthly in advance. Any other charges are payable when billed. Initial charges are due and payable prior to service activation. Initial charges include the first-month subscription fee (pro-rated from install date), the second-month subscription fee, and any onetime cost of setup and hardware purchases. Subsequent monthly fees will be billed or charged at the beginning of the month for a full month’s charge. Customer understands and agrees that he or she will be responsible for the full month’s charge in the event of early termination within the month’s billing cycle. Customer agrees to settle DevTEL’s invoice upon receipt. Accounts are in default if payment of all amounts due is not received within thirty (30) days after the date of invoice, and are subject to an interest rate on the outstanding balance at a rate of 2% per month (26.82% per year) calculated from the date of invoice. DevTEL may terminate or suspend service at any time at its sole discretion, for non-payment of account charges. In the case of termination for non-payment, the Customer is fully liable to DevTEL for all charges accrued before termination, including, without limitation, interest charges and costs incurred by DevTEL for collection costs and attorney’s fees. In the event of disconnection, Customer must pay DevTEL balance due on the account in full and will be required for a new sign up before Service reactivation. Where applicable, Customer will provide DevTEL with a valid exemption certificate to exempt Customer, under applicable law, from taxes that would otherwise be paid by Customer. DevTEL will invoice Customer for taxes that are not covered by any tax exemption certificate filed by Customer with DevTEL. Should Customer not provide DevTEL with the applicable tax exemption certificate, it will be the Customer’s responsibility to obtain any tax credits directly from the agency concerned. For each occurrence, DevTEL will impose a $42.50 charge for any cheque that is returned for any reason by a financial institution, or for declined pre-authorized payments by credit card or bank debit. It is the Customer’s responsibility to inform or notify DevTEL of any changes to his or her credit card or banking information.

It is up to the client to advise DevTEL if they can not make it for the scheduled appointment time. The Client does not need to be on the premise for all visits, however, it is important for our technicians to have access to the property and any buildings involved.
Billing Disputes: The Customer must notify DevTEL in writing of any disputed charges within thirty (30) days of the date of the billing for such charges. In the absence of such dispute, charges billed are deemed correct and dispute waived. In the event that the Customer, in good faith, determines that there is a material discrepancy between DevTEL’s invoiced charges and Customer’s calculation of charges owed, Customer shall be permitted to withhold payment of such disputed charges, provided that Customer pays all undisputed charges on or before due date and presents in good faith and in reasonable detail the billing discrepancy in question for the purpose of resolving the disputed charges. In the event parties fail to mutually resolve the disputed charges within a reasonable time period which will generally be within thirty (30) days of the next billing cycle, the parties shall resolve such dispute by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator appointed by agreement.
