All fees and charges will be at the rates in effect at the time the charges were incurred. Charges incurred under this Agreement may include charges related to use of the Service, as well as charges related to goods and services provided by third parties but acquired through the Service.

If at any time a credit card charge, or payment check is refused, GM may, at its sole discretion, immediately suspend or terminate this Agreement, but Member will still be responsible for all charges incurred. If any payment due is not made by the Member, GM may, in addition to its other remedies, at its sole discretion and without notice to the Member, (a) suspend its performance under this Agreement and the Member's access to and use of the Service, or (b) terminate this Agreement and Member's access to and the use of the Service.

Pricing, product availability and offers are subject to change without prior notice. We reserve the right to make changes without notice due to market conditions, manufacturer or supplier product discontinuation, or typographical, photographic or technical errors in on-line or print advertising.

Domain Names: Should a client (whether business or member of the public) reserve a DOMAIN name with Nimbus Commerce then Nimbus Commerce will allow the client exclusive and unlimited use of the DOMAIN name for their web-site and e-mail purposes while the due charges are paid. If payments are not maintained then after 30 days of such breach of contract Nimbus Commerce reserves the right to sell immediately or retain indefinitely for future sale the DOMAIN name in question. Any reinstatement of payments by a client will be subject to a re-instatement charge equal to £45 or 6 months total charges relating to the services they have selected (whichever is less).

Should a client reserve their DOMAIN name with Nimbus Commerce it does not give them ownership and title to the DOMAIN name. Title will reside with Nimbus Commerce Solutions Ltd until such time as they have paid the purchase price for the DOMAIN name and the title administration charge relating to the transfer of the title, and the balance of the full 12 month Agreement charges to include the required 3 months notice in full. Monthly charges as per their chosen levels of service will continue from the first month thereafter

Further Costs: The client/customer shall fully and effectively indemnify Nimbus Commerce against all costs and expenses which Nimbus Commerce incurs in enforcing any of the terms and conditions of business contained herein including, without limit to the generality of the foregoing, the recovery of all monies due from the client whether by proceedings or other means to be assessed on a solicitor and own client basis.

Duration

All member agreements are for a minimum term of 12 months and thereafter require 3 months notice unless upgrading to a higher service level where such notice will be waived and a new 12 month Agreement put in place (with 3 months notice). In all cases members must pay for services 3 months in advance and then monthly thereafter unless a special promotion requires them to pay 12 months or more in advance.
