11.3 Notifyre Wallet Funds can be added to a Notifyre account securely online 24/7 using a credit card. A minimum value of $10.00 AUD excluding GST applies to each Wallet Funds transaction.

11.4 Where the Customer receives more fax pages than included in their Receive Fax Plan during their subscription period, the Customer must ensure sufficient Wallet Funds are available. All additional fax pages received to the Customer’s account, will be charged at the ‘Excess’ rate applicable to the Customers fax number plan.

11.5 Where the Customer does not have Wallet Funds available for Notifyre to auto deduct ‘Excess’ charges, the Customer will be unable to view received faxes if payments fail after 10 days. To ensure service disruption is minimised, Notifyre recommends the Customer account has available Wallet Funds to ensure incoming faxes continue to be received.

11.6 The following financial terms are applicable to the Notifyre Receive services:

11.6.1 Monthly Billing (Credit Card Only): Notifyre plans are paid in advance using the nominated credit card on the Customer’s account. Payments are processed on a monthly anniversary date based on the original date of purchase. Every number service added thereafter will have a pro-rata charge for the remainder of the first billing period, then be billed on an anniversary months basis on the same billing date as the first plan added.

11.6.2 Received fax page excess usage over the included subscription period quota will be charged against the balance in the Customer’s Wallet.

11.6.3 Failure to process automatic online credit card payments for Notifyre subscription-based plans and associated charges, such as Receive Plans, may result in penalty fees after the second failed attempt to successfully process payment. Failure to pay any outstanding service fees within ten (10) days will result in service deactivation and/or cancellation.

11.6.4 If a Notifyre SMS, MMS or fax number service is cancelled by any means through request by the Customer’s, failure to make payment, or otherwise, Notifyre does not guarantee that the same number will be available for reactivation, nor does it guarantee it will continue collecting any messages sent to the cancelled service number. See Section 8. Ownership of Numbers.

11.7 Notifyre accepts credit card payment for services provided. Credit card payments are accepted using Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. All online transactions are processed via a secure site. When credit card and other payment details are provided over the telephone, Notifyre abides by strict procedures for processing and updating payments. Notifyre will at no time ask the Customer to provide credit card details via email.

11.8 Chargebacks: Incorrectly initiated chargebacks by the customer will incur an administration fee per chargeback. See additional fees for details. This fee applies to chargeback claims initiated by the customer which are incorrectly requested by the customer for goods or services provided by Notifyre. The customer must pay for the goods or services previously provided plus the above administration fee. This applies but is not limited to instances where the customer requires a refund for an overcharge or any other billing dispute but fails to raise this with Notifyre and initiates a chargeback.

11.9 Billing disputes: If there is an omission or error in relation to a charge on an invoice, the Customer may, within 3 calendar months of the invoice date, dispute the invoice by giving written notice of a billing dispute to the Notifyre Support team. The Customer may not dispute an invoice based on a claim that the invoiced services included fraudulent messages.
