Together, the Subscription Fees, Transaction Fees and the Additional Fees are referred to as the “Fees”.

Clientsby will charge applicable Fees to any valid payment method that you authorise (“Authorised Payment Method”), and Clientsby will continue to charge the Authorised Payment Method for applicable Fees until the Services are terminated, and any and all outstanding Fees have been paid in full. Unless otherwise indicated, all Fees and other charges are in U.S. dollars.

Transaction Fees and Additional Fees will be charged from time to time at Clientsby's discretion. You will be charged on each Billing Date for all outstanding Fees that have not previously been charged. Invoices will appear on the Plans page of your Account’s settings. Users have approximately two weeks to bring up and settle any issues with the billing of Subscription Fees.

If you are exempt from payment of such Taxes, you must provide us with evidence of your exemption, which in some jurisdictions includes an original certificate that satisfies applicable legal requirements attesting to tax-exempt status. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date we receive evidence satisfactory to Clientsby of your exemption.
