To eliminate doubt, the Invoice shall be deemed to have been delivered upon the lapse of 3 (three) working days from the date of its verifiable dispatch to the Customer.
      9. In the case of payment based on an Invoice, the Provider shall deliver an invoice to the Customer for the payment of the Price approximately 30 (thirty) days before the billing period to which the Invoice relates.

      11. The Customer declares that he/it has exclusive access to the electronic e-mail address to which electronic Invoices shall be sent and acknowledges that the Provider is not liable for any breach or damage arising as a result of (i) unauthorized access and leakage of information and trade secrets from the electronic mailbox to which the electronic Invoice shall be sent, (ii) theft, misuse of login data to the electronic mailbox. The Customer undertakes to inform the Provider in advance of any change in the e-mail address to which electronic Invoices shall be sent or of other information that may affect electronic invoicing. 
      12. If the Customer needs an Invoice in paper form, the Customer may contact the Provider’s e-mail address with the request: support@elv.ai The Customer may withdraw his/its consent to electronic invoicing at any time in writing by sending a request to the Provider to the e-mail address specified in this section of the Terms and Conditions of Sale.

      14. If the Provider provides the Customer with Other Services, these shall be charged according to the actual time spent and the Provider’s Price List.

Additional Services shall be charged in the same way as set out in clause 9.5 of the Terms and Conditions of Sale.
      15. The moment of payment of the Price or other payment under the Terms and Conditions of Sale is considered to be the moment of their full crediting to the Provider’s Bank Account.

      16. In case of the Customer’s delay in paying the Price (its part) or other payments under these Terms and Conditions of Sale by the due date, the Provider shall be entitled to charge default interest of 0.05% per day on the amount due until its full payment to the Provider.
      17. Meanwhile, the Customer acknowledges that (without the aforementioned being considered a breach of the Terms and Conditions of Sale and Contracts or as a delay in performance):
        1. if the Payment Gateway Controller (or the Apple Pay and Google Pay Controllers) fail(s) to collect the Price and/or other payment under these Terms and Conditions of Sale, the Purchase Order and the Service Agreement in full for any reason within their due date and fail(s) to do so within 7 (seven) days after their due date, the Provider is entitled to suspend the Customer’s access to the Service on the day following the expiry of this period (i.e. the Service automatically becomes non-functional and inactive for the Customer); or
