Late Payment & Consequences of Non-Payment
Invoices are due upon receipt unless otherwise specified in writing. In the event of non-payment by the due date indicated on the invoice, a late fee of 5% of the outstanding balance will be applied for every 7 days the payment remains unpaid.
Failure to remit payment within the agreed-upon timeframe may result in actions taken by The Website Designer, which may include but are not limited to:
a. Immediate Project Cancellation: The Website Designer reserves the right to cancel the project without further notice if invoices remain unpaid beyond the specified timeframe.
b. Suspension of Work: In the event of late or non-payment, The Website Designer may suspend all ongoing work related to the project until outstanding invoices are settled. This includes, but is not limited to, withholding access to website materials, pausing development, or taking down any published content or website.
c. Legal Action: The Website Designer reserves the right to take legal action to recover all outstanding fees, including late payment charges, and any legal costs incurred in the process. This may include engaging legal representation and seeking appropriate legal remedies to recover the owed amount.
Reinstatement of Services: Upon settlement of outstanding invoices, at the discretion of The Website Designer, reinstate services or resume work on the project. However, such reinstatement is subject to the availability of resources and The Website Designer's current workload.
