Payments
5.1 Payment Terms:
Clients are required to make payments in accordance with the pricing and payment schedules outlined in their individual agreements or invoices. By default, anyone using or intending to use Xerabyte's services automatically agrees to these terms, especially when using the Xerabyte app. Clients can request a contract or a separate agreement, which must be agreed upon with Mehmet Demir, the owner and founder of Xerabyte. This request can also be denied.
5.2 Payment Methods:
The payment methods accepted by Xerabyte are detailed within the Xerabyte app and specified in the invoice. These methods include iDEAL, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Klarna (note: Klarna cannot be used for monthly payment subscriptions), and other available payment options. Clients can refer to the Xerabyte app for a comprehensive list of accepted payment methods and their availability.
5.3 Late Payments:
Any overdue payments or failure to make payments after the due date may result in additional actions. Xerabyte reserves the right to send a formal notice via post to the client's provided address, informing them of the overdue payment. An email will also be sent if penalties are involved. Before penalties are applied (which include a fee for late payments after the due date), an informative reminder will be sent through post to the client’s address. The client must make the payment within 24 hours of receiving this reminder. If the payment is made within the 24-hour period, no penalty will be applied. However, if the payment is not received within 24 hours, the penalty will take effect, calculated from the moment the due date ended. Once Xerabyte has sent the notification informing the client that penalties are involved, it is not the responsibility of Xerabyte to inform the client each time an additional penalty is added. The client is clearly informed beforehand, and it is up to the client to manage their payments thereafter.
5.4 Refund Policy:
Typically, Xerabyte does not offer refunds, as our services involve networks and servers that incur ongoing operational costs. This policy primarily applies to manual bank transfers. Initial startup and monthly fees are non-refundable. However, clients are encouraged to inquire if a refund is possible in specific cases. For example, if an overpayment has occurred, Xerabyte may refund the excess amount. Clients can always request a calculation to confirm payment details. If a payment is refundable, Xerabyte will clearly inform the client. If no statement is made regarding a refund, it should be assumed that the payment is non-refundable. It is not Xerabyte’s responsibility to re-calculate every time a payment is made; however, if a client calculates their payments and finds a discrepancy, they may request a re-calculation.
5.5 Taxes and Additional Charges:
All payments may be subject to applicable taxes, fees, or additional charges as required by local or international laws. Clients are responsible for any such charges unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.
5.6 Recurring Payments:
For services with recurring fees, such as maintenance or hosting, clients will be billed on a regular schedule as outlined in the service agreement. Failure to make recurring payments may lead to service suspension.
5.7 Payment Plans:
If a flexible payment plan has been agreed upon, the terms of that plan will be detailed in the agreement. Any default in payment may lead to the re-evaluation of the plan or termination of the service.
5.8 Cancellation Policy:
Clients who wish to cancel their services must clearly inform Xerabyte before the 28th day of the month in which they wish to stop the service. This notice does not guarantee that the service will be stopped within the same month, but it increases the likelihood of a smoother transition and is beneficial for the client. Depending on the service agreement, cancellation fees may apply.
5.9 Payment Obligation for Started Services:
If Xerabyte has begun work on a requested service, the initial (startup) payment must be paid in full, even if the client decides not to continue with the service. Additionally, if the service has been worked for at least 60% and if the requested service involves a monthly fee (which has been activated or payed upfront by Xerabyte), such as for website, webshop, app, or software development, the client is responsible for paying the monthly fee aslong as it stayed online. Xerabyte reserves the right to demand payment and may take legal action if the payment is denied. However, to avoid this course of action, Xerabyte offers a flexible payment plan to accommodate clients in such situations.
5.10 E-invoices (E-Factuur):
All our invoices are made through the Xerabyte app which is a semi-automated to automated system where the invoices are being made, send and payed however, you have the right to request a paper invoice.
5.11 Invoice due dates / deadlines:
All invoices has their own due dates / deadlines, this means that the client must pay within the given timeline. This given timeline may (but doesn't has to) be agreed between both parties, if not then a default invoice deadline should be added by 14 days unless it goes agianst licenses, fees or the agreement of the contract if applicable, The client can always request to have a shorter/longer deadlines however this must be agreed by Mehmet Demir and a flexible payment plan will be made which may (but doesn't have to) include a contract.
5.12 Accidental Damage During Service
In the rare event that accidental damage occurs to the Client's equipment (e.g., PC, laptop, or related hardware) during the execution of a service provided by Xerabyte, the Client will be informed immediately. Xerabyte will document the incident and notify its insurance provider to initiate any applicable claims or resolutions.
While the Client's cooperation during the resolution process (e.g., providing receipts, damage photos, or serial numbers) is appreciated and may expedite the process, it remains entirely optional.
Should the damage require full replacement or repair of the affected equipment, and the incident qualifies for coverage under Xerabyte’s insurance, the Client agrees to pay a fixed deductible (eigen risico) of €125,-. This amount must be paid prior to the finalization of any replacement, repair, or reimbursement.
6. Transport & Delivery Disclaimer
6.1 By using our services, the client acknowledges and agrees that any damage, loss, or theft that may occur during or after transport, delivery, or transfer of goods — whether completed personally or through customer-approved drop-off (e.g., leaving at a specified location) — is entirely at the client’s own risk and responsibility.
6.2 Once an item has been repaired, sold, or otherwise handed over for delivery, any incidents occurring during transportation, including but not limited to cosmetic damage (scratches, dents), internal damage, or environmental exposure, are not covered by our liability and will not be eligible for reimbursement, replacement, or repair.
6.3 All service documentation, including these Terms of Service, is provided in English. The English version is legally binding, and it is the client's own responsibility to seek translation or clarification.
