4.2 Payment by Credit Card
All charges for Services must be paid on a monthly basis in advance by credit card according to the then current price applicable to the Services. TELUS reserves the right to modify the forms of payment it will accept, at any time, in its sole discretion.

TELUS may change the late payment charge at any time by giving at least 30 days’ advance notice to the Customer.

In addition, your failure to fully pay any amounts payable to TELUS within ten (10) days after the applicable due date will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, justifying TELUS' immediate suspension of its performance of the Services and/or termination of this Agreement. You are responsible for any fees associated with reinstatement of Services. Any such termination would not relieve you from paying past due fees plus applicable late payment charges. In the event of collection enforcement, you will be liable for any costs associated with such collection, including, without limitation, legal fees, court costs and collection agency fees.

TELUS will not be responsible for any errors, loss of information or any other mishap that may occur following the first non-payment. Retrieval of the website from the archive will be on a best-effort basis. Users visiting your website during the archive period will view an error or substitute message window until the amounts due and payable hereunder have been paid.

Revision cycles consist of additional compositions that incorporate changes you request in a Revision Brief.
