2. Charges and Billing
| 2.1 |
Computech shall either (i) debit Client's
credit card (where such information is provided by Client) or
(ii) deliver by e-mail an invoice to Client in accordance with
the applicable Services fees for Computer Service, Dialup or hosting
services rendered for the current month. Domain name
registration fees must be paid up front via credit card only.
Where an invoice is delivered to Client, Client shall remit
payment to Computech by no later than 10 days after the
specified payment due date. Computech shall be entitled to
immediately terminate this Agreement for Client's failure
to make timely payments to Computech. Certain services carry
a set-up fee charged by Computech to Client that must be paid
by Client in order to have use of the Services. If Client
terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 5
hereunder, Client shall be responsible for any outstanding fees
owed to Computech and agrees to pay any and all fees incurred
by Client. Because the Services are provided on a monthly basis,
unless a contract is in place, Client will be responsible for
Service fees incurred each month regardless of when Client
provides notice of termination. Thus, for example, if Client
provides notice to terminate on the 15th of a particular month,
Client will still owe fees for the entire month and such fees
will not be pro-rated or refunded. If Client has retained the
Services for one (1) year and has pre-paid Computech for such
Services, refunds will be issued for any unused full month month
portions less one month of the Services upon Clients request.
Therefore, if Client's account is cancelled at any point during
the one (1) year term, Client will be entitled to a refund for
all but one of the full months remaining after notice given by
the 20th of the preceding month. |
| 2.2 |

the Service(s) plus any applicable GST. The charges for the

other applicable documents) and as otherwise notified to the
Customer from time to time; or |
| |
(b) |
if no charges are set out in the relevant Service(s)
Schedule, Computech's standard corporate fees, rates and charges
applicable at the time of supply of the relevant
Service(s). |
| |
(c) |
if the customer moves addresses or changes telephone
number, either within or after the initial service period, the

direct debit from a valid credit card. Computech may charge the

will charge a minimum of $1.10 for card reprocessing and a
further $1.10 per transaction failure. |
| 2.8 |
