All Development Proposal and Cost Specification Documents shall be subject to these Terms and Conditions.

3.1. The fees for the performance of the services are as set out in the Development Proposal and Cost Specification Documents. Inunu Net shall invoice the Customer for the services as detailed therein.
3.2. Invoiced amounts shall be due and payable on receipt of invoice. Inunu Net shall be entitled to charge interest daily on overdue invoices from 30 days after the payment becomes due until the date of payment at a rate of 2% per annum above the base rate of the banks of South Africa. In the event that the Customer’s procedures require that an invoice be submitted against a purchase order for payment, the Customer shall be responsible for issuing such purchase order before the services are rendered.
4. CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATIONS

For the avoidance of doubt, the Customer’s failure to comply with any obligations under Clause 4.1 shall be deemed to be a cancellation of the services and subject to the payment of the damages set out in this Clause.
4.4. In the event that the Customer or any third party, not being a sub-contractor of Inunu Net, shall omit or commit anything which prevents or delays Inunu Net from undertaking or complying with any of its obligations under this Agreement, then Inunu Net shall notify the Customer as soon as possible and:
