PAYING YOUR BILL
5. Any subscription is to be paid monthly in advance. Failure to pay any invoice on the due date may result in a late payment fee and your subscription being suspended.

6. Invoices not paid by direct debit incur a $30.00 +gst surcharge. If the direct debit option is selected and no completed direct debit form is emailed/given to Tenancy.co.nz, the account will be set to be paid by invoice and incur the additional fees. A direct debit form can be completed at a later date, but no existing invoices will be discounted. The surcharge will be removed for future invoices once the direct debit form is received.

Terminating subscription
1. After the initial term, 1 calendar months notice is required to end your subscription. The one month period will start on the last day of the month we are notified of the request to end your subscription. Notification must be by email or in writing. When the subscription has ended all software licenses will be cancelled resulting in no access to the service, products or discounts associated with the subscription.
