7.1 All Fees are subject to change from time to time. We will endeavour to notify you in advance of any change in the Fees applicable to your Order, but, in any event, you agree to check the Website on a regular basis and to be bound by any change in the Fees that may take place from time to time either as stated on the Website or as notified to you. Special offers as advertised on the website from time to time are exclusively for new clients only and for the avoidance of doubt are not available to existing clients. Special offers have a strict duration of 12 months at which point the annual renewal fee will then revert back to our standard fees as advertised on the website or as notified to you at the point of your annual renewal.
7.2 You agree to pay a Deposit in advance equivalent to one month’s Fees (the “Deposit”). We may at our discretion apply all or part of the Deposit against any Fees for which payment is overdue and, in such event and without prejudice to our other remedies, invoice you for a replacement Deposit from and deduct the same from the debit card, credit card or direct debit provided by you in accordance with Clause 7.6 below. The Deposit is non-refundable or repayable in the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Clause 13.1 but repayable otherwise within 14 days of written request from you after termination of the Agreement. All other setup charges expressed to be payable in advance are non-refundable and non-repayable.
7.3 We will review the amount of the Deposit from time to time throughout the term of this Agreement. We reserve the right to increase the amount of the Deposit from time to time by not less than 14 days notice in writing to you up to a maximum amount of 125% of the highest Fees incurred by you in any one month prior to the date of notice. In the event that we increase the amount of the Deposit under this Clause, you agree that, following the expiry of the notice provided by us, we may invoice you for the amount of excess and deduct the same from the debit card, credit card or direct debit provided by you in accordance with Clause 7.6 below.
7.4 Without prejudice to our rights under Clause 7.3 above, in the event that at any time your use of the W1 Office Services during any month is such that the Fees incurred thereby materially exceeds the amount of the Deposit held by us, we reserve the right to:
(a) increase the amount of the Deposit with immediate effect, subject to a maximum increase of the greater of 100% of the existing Deposit and 200% of the Fees already incurred by you in respect of the relevant month as at the date of increase and, on notice by email to you, deduct the amount of excess from the debit card, credit card or direct debit provided by you in accordance with Clause 7.6 below, such excess amount to be invoiced to you as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; and/or
(b) on notice by email to you suspend the provision of the W1 Office Services with immediate effect.
7.5 Unless impracticable, or unless we agree otherwise in writing with you, we will issue invoices in respect of all fixed Fees monthly in advance and all usage dependent Fees monthly in arrears. All invoices are, unless expressly stated otherwise on the invoice, due and payable immediately by debit card, credit card or direct debit as set out in Clause 7.6. You will be charged on a pro rata basis until the end of the calendar month in which your Acceptance Date falls. Thereafter you will be charged on the first day of each calendar month. All amounts payable under this Agreement are stated exclusive of VAT of 20% and other taxes which shall be added to invoices and payable at the then current rate. Our VAT registration number is 853 5500 32.
7.6. You agree to and authorise us to make automatic debit payments by debit card, credit card or direct debit for UK clients or by debit card or credit card for international clients on the due date in satisfaction of our invoices, either by completion of an appropriate form in a manner required by us or by telephone authorisation (whichever we, in our absolute discretion, request). If you do not provide such authorisation, we shall not provide you with any Services except with our prior written agreement including agreement as to an alternative method of payment. If paying by direct debit, please note that W1 Office Ltd has appointed the BACS Approved Direct Debit Bureau, Access PaySuite Limited www.accesspaysuite.com to collect your payments. W1 Office Ltd will be shown on your bank statement for these transactions.
7.7 You undertake that the debit card, credit card or direct debit that is to be used pursuant to Clause 7.6 will not be registered to an address provided by a virtual office provider. In the event we ascertain that your debit card, credit card or direct debit is registered to a virtual office address we reserve the right to:
(a) suspend provision of W1 Office Services until such time as you have provided us with details of an alternative debit card, credit card or direct debit whose registered address has not been provided by a virtual office provider; and/or
(b) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Clause 13.1.
7.8 In the event that we are unable to take payment from your debit card, credit card or direct debit for any reason other than the genuine expiration of the card or change of bank, we reserve the right to charge £25 to cover our administrative costs. This amount will be automatically added to your next invoice. In the event of a chargeback, an incident report will automatically be relayed to our legal dept; as this is a mandatory requirement under our industry regulations; and may be reported to the authorities as an act of fraud; if we are unable to resolve the matter within 7 days.
7.9 On termination of this Agreement for whatever reason, all Fees in respect of the W1 Office Services provided to you prior to the date of termination shall become due and payable and shall be debited from your debit card, credit card or direct debit (as applicable) following the issue of an invoice by us in accordance with the authorisation completed by you under Clause 7.6 above. In the event that you have paid any Fees for W1 Office Services in advance of receipt of those Services (save for the Deposit), those Fees will be set off against any other Fees due from you under this Agreement. In the event that the amount of advance Fees paid by you exceeds the amount of Fees due from you in respect of W1 Office Services provided to you prior to the date of termination, we will return the amount of such excess within a reasonable time of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event we are unable to obtain payment of any unpaid Fees from you within 14 days, we reserve the right to deduct any such unpaid Fees from the Deposit and return any balance to you.
7.10 If, for whatever reason, you do not make payment in full of any Fees on the due date, we reserve the right:
(a) on notice in writing (including email) to you to suspend provision of the W1 Office Services until such time as payment is made in full; and
(b) to charge interest on all unpaid sums outstanding at the rate of 15% per annum above the base rate of Barclays Bank Plc (or its successors) in force at the due date and such interest will be applied cumulatively from such date until the date of actual payment.
7.11 In the event that provision of W1 Office Services have been suspended and we have agreed to reactivate your customer account, in addition to payment of any outstanding fees, we reserve the right to require payment of:
(a) the setup fee of £50 to activate a new account as advertised on our Website at the time; and
(b) an increased deposit fee equivalent to 1 month’s Fees which we may at our discretion apply against any Fees for which payment is overdue and which shall be deemed to be included in the definition of Deposit and subject to the provisions of clause 7.2.
7.12 All payments made via the Website are made via a secure server in connection with Stripe and Barclays Bank Merchant Services.
