You will be charged in line with the subscription charges applicable for the level of service required.

All charges you incur for use of the Service will be charged to your account in accordance with the credit or debit card information you provide. If we do not receive payment from the card issuer, you agree to pay us all amounts due upon demand.
The service will automatically upgrade the level of storage according to your individual requirements. This means that should you use more storage than you have paid for, your account will be upgraded to accommodate this increased storage requirement. Additional storage will be invoiced for and payment will be made as per your selected payment method and/or automatically debited from the credit or debit card provided at the time of subscription (if paying by this method). These upgrade payments are in accordance with the payment table on the Depositit website and are charged pro-rata to the amount of time remaining on the annual contract or in the case of monthly payments will correspond to the monthly charges applicable for the storage used in that month.
Commercially reasonable actions to validate your credit or debit card details may be taken. If for any reason your credit or debit card cannot be validated or the transaction is prevented from occurring or we do not receive payment by any other method Depositit will make all reasonable endeavours to make you aware of this. If, following these endeavours no effort is made to remedy the situation by the subscriber and the transaction remains outstanding for longer than 30 days Depositit reserve the right to suspend or even terminate the account at this time.
We accept no responsibility if your business, data, servers or workstations are put at risk as a result of any data loss or digital threat if we have not received payment and terminated your account.Please note that even if your account is suspended or shut down you will still be liable for all outstanding payments. In addition, a minimum GBP50 + VAT administrative fee will be added to your outstanding invoice.
Please also note that if you pay monthly for the service and we are unable to collect payment after 30 days, the monthly payment option may be revoked and full payment may be requested for the entire balance of the remaining contract term. This will be calculated by taking the monthly premium owed multiplied by the number of months left unpaid until the renewal date. In addition a GBP40 + vat administrative fee for late payment will be added.
We reserve the right to change the monthly / annual amount payable by you by providing you with 14 days written notice prior to collection of any payment including that by credit or debit card.
Please be aware that card payments are collected via WorldPay secure payment services and the Depositit transaction will appear on your statement as "WP - Automated Backup".
We understand and will exercise our statutory right to claim interest and compensation for debt recovery costs under the late payment legislation if we are not paid according to agreed credit terms.
In the event that you elect to take out any third party services marketed by Depositit such as the 'Phone Redirect', 'Office Relocation' 'C360' or any other third party Services then you acknowledge that Depositit acts as an introducer to the independent companies providing these Services and that you msy also be bound separately by the Payment Terms offered by those companies for their Services.
