Prepaid and Postpaid arrangement
-
Client may use the Service in two modes:
-
Prepaid – The Client pays the Service fee upfront by transferring a desired Credit amount to the Operator. The Service is automatically suspended if the Credit (and Credit Limit, if set) expires. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure a sufficient Credit amount for the availability of the Service. To avoid an insufficient Credit balance, the Client may enable low-credit notifications in the Software.
-
Postpaid – The Operator issues an invoice to the Client for Services provided in the previous calendar month. To use this payment option, the Operator will approximate a Security deposit (usually covering two months’ service fee) and send a request to the Client. After payment of the Security deposit, the Operator sets the Postpaid option and adds it to the Client’s account. The deposited Security deposit will be added to the Credit balance. Each month, the Operator sends an invoice for the previous month. The Service is automatically suspended if the combined Credit (including the Security deposit) and any Credit Limit (if set) expire.
-
-
Operator shall issue invoices each time payment is received from the Client. Invoices are sent by email or can be downloaded from the TelTel system.
-
The Parties agree that invoices shall be issued to the Client in electronic form only. The Parties shall recognize such documents as binding in accordance with the Republic of Latvia’s accounting regulatory enactments. An invoice sent to the Client’s email address is deemed received on the day following its dispatch. Failure to receive an invoice shall not relieve the Client of its payment obligation.
-
In the event the Client fails to fulfil its payment obligations, the Operator shall have the right to settle due amounts using the Security deposit funds. In such a case, the Client is obliged to restore the Security deposit to its previous amount within five working days after notification by the Operator.
-
If payment obligations are delayed, the Operator shall be entitled to apply a contractual penalty of 0.5% (zero point five per cent) of the overdue amount per day, but not exceeding 10% of the total overdue amount.
-
After termination of the Contract, but not later than within 30 days, the Operator shall return any outstanding Security deposit to the Client after settling all payment obligations.
-
If the Client fails to settle an invoice and bring the Credit balance to a non‑negative level within the specified term after an invoice is issued, the Operator shall send a notification by email or registered letter to the Client’s address. If, after this warning, the Client still does not resolve the outstanding balance within the specified term, the Operator shall have the right to unilaterally terminate the Service provision and engage third‑party service providers (for example, debt collection agencies) to recover any outstanding debt and late payment penalties.
-
The Operator shall have the right to maintain the Client's account balance and Credit guarantee in the event of a serious breach of the Contract.
