Website Hosting, Maintenance, and Marketing Monthly Payment Policy
We have these payment policies to ensure smooth operations and help you keep your website online. This document outlines the payment policies for website hosting, maintenance, and marketing services provided by TLO Web Designs.
Payment Due Date
All monthly recurring payments for website hosting, maintenance, and marketing services are due on the date indicated on your invoice. We encourage clients to set up automatic payments to avoid any unintentional delays.
Late Payment Grace Period
We understand that things happen, and sometimes payments can be delayed.
If you miss your payment due date, you have a grace period of 3 days to make the payment. During this grace period, your services will continue uninterrupted.
Late payment fees are a common practice among businesses to encourage timely payments and compensate for the costs associated with late payments.
These fees are typically a percentage of the overdue amount or a flat fee, and they can vary depending on the industry and specific terms of service.
It's important to note that most states and countries have laws regarding the maximum amount that can be charged for late payment fees. For example, some states have limits like 5% of the past due amount per month.
Service Discontinuation
If payment is not received within 3 days of the due date, hosting and maintenance services will be temporarily discontinued.
This means your website will be taken offline, and visitors will not be able to access it. This measure is taken to prevent further accumulation of unpaid dues and to ensure the prompt settlement of the outstanding balance. Keep in mind that exceeding storage limits can also lead to service interruption.
Reconnection Fee
If payment is not received within 5 days of the due date, a reconnection fee will be applied to your account in addition to the outstanding balance. This fee covers the administrative and technical costs associated with reactivating your services.
The reconnection fee is and is subject to change. Reconnection fees are charges imposed by service providers to reinstate services that have been disconnected due to non-payment or failure to meet account requirements.
These fees cover the expenses involved in reactivating a customer's account, such as sending a technician to your location and re-establishing the connection. Reconnection fees can vary depending on the service provider and the specific circumstances.
