GLOBAL DIGITAL COIN (GDC) agrees to provide and the User agrees to accept the services listed in this Agreement and to pay all charges as listed on any Rate Schedules, as may be detailed in pages on this web site, as well as any and all other applicable charges as are specified in this Agreement. Most services provided by GDC may be prepaid. However, where appropriate GDC will provide monthly invoices, covering designated 30 day periods, which will be due and payable upon receipt. Where applicable, and when an invoice is issued, a late payment charge will be applied on balances that remain unpaid 30 days following the invoice date, in the amount to the lesser of (1) 1.5 percent per month of the amount of the late payment, starting from invoice date; or (2) the maximum allowed under applicable law. Questions concerning any invoice must be brought to the attention of GDC, within 10 days of the invoice date. If the User fails to notify GDC of any errors on the invoice GDC has the right to debit the User's account automatically for the amount of the invoice.

Authorisation:
The User authorises GDC, or its nominated agent, to automatically debit the User's Credit Card, Debit Account or Prepaid Account to cover the balance due on any invoice for the entire amount debited in USD, Euro, AUD or any other applicable currency. GDC may present this Agreement to institutions or firms that must honour the International Credit Card arrangement and they are authorised to honour the same. The User may terminate this Credit Card, Debit Account or Prepaid Account arrangement by notifying GDC in writing at least 30 days prior to the effective date of termination. GDC reserves the right to terminate this Agreement for any reason upon notification to the User. Branded GDC web sites may have differing arrangements.

Changes in the service:
Within 30 days of the execution hereof, GDC may notify the User of any change or suspension of services or changes of these terms and conditions. This notification will be endorsed on the invoice.
