Safehosts reserves the right to take the payment from the Client’s stored card at any time other than the agreed date, if they have reason to believe that the payment is due and owing. Safehosts reserves the right to take a different amount than what was originally agreed, in circumstances where several invoices have built up over a period of time or reminder fees have been added to the overall outstanding balance due to the Client’s late payment.
