This Procedure sets out the obligations of SYNTHX MEDIA and the Customer in resolving a Billing Dispute, including how Billing Disputes should be lodged and how it
will be handled thereafter.
SYNTHX MEDIA Billing Dispute Handling Procedure is intended to serve both the Customer and SYNTHX MEDIA interests by setting out clear rules and
procedures to be used where Billing Disputes Occur.
“Billing Dispute” means an instance where a customer states in good faith that their bill contains incorrect charges, payments, or adjustments.
“Billing Dispute Notice” means a notice submitted by the Customer in terms of this Procedure.
“Billing Disputes Procedure” and “this Procedure” mean this Billing Dispute Procedure for the initiation and resolution of Billing Disputes.
“Billing Enquiry” means the situation where the Customer seeks information or clarification relating to an Invoice including, without limitation, seeking clarification of charges or sources of usage. For the
avoidance of doubt, this is not a Billing Dispute.
“Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday, or a public holiday observed as such in the Republic of South Africa.
“Complaint” means an expression of dissatisfaction or grievance made by a customer but does not include a request for information. A Complaint is not a Billing Dispute.
Any charge recorded on an Invoice (the subject of a Billing Dispute) that is not submitted by this Procedure is payable in full to SYNTHX MEDIA by the Due Date of the
Invoice.
For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that:
An amount that is not in dispute (“Undisputed Amount”) cannot be withheld for any reason (including, without limitation, when that amount is on an invoice together with a Disputed Amount).
Only Billing Disputes can trigger the Billing Dispute Handling Procedure (and the potential right to withhold payment of Disputed Amounts from SYNTHX MEDIA as set out below).
Billing Inquiries and Complaints are not Billing Disputes and do not trigger the Billing Dispute Procedure. Billing Enquiries should be directed to info@synthxmedia.com – while Complaints are dealt with under the
SYNTHX MEDIA Complaints Handling Procedure.
Please note that SYNTHX MEDIA will not entertain any Billing Dispute based on the unauthorized use of the services or the unauthorized use of the services by a third party, it is your
responsibility to safeguard access to the services which you receive and to use them in the manner set out in the terms and conditions applicable thereto.
As a current or prior Customer of SYNTHX MEDIA, you agree to SYNTHX MEDIA to attempt settlement of any Billing Dispute for 14 Business Days
before rSynthx Mediaing a dispute with any third party, credit card company, or bank. SYNTHX MEDIA requires and you agree that it be the First option in Billing Disputes. Should SYNTHX MEDIA receive a chargeback or other reversed charge from a third party, Credit Card Company, or bank on your behalf before SYNTHX MEDIA has been given a
chance to resolve the issue, SYNTHX MEDIA has the right to collect on the rendered services and any fees associated with those disputes.
Not all Billing Disputes may be settled to a customer’s satisfaction. Once this Procedure has been exhausted, a customer may use any third party, Credit Card Company, or bank in an attempt to settle the
dispute. However, SYNTHX MEDIA still retains the right to collect any rendered services or fees that are due. Should SYNTHX MEDIA be unable to reverse
any disputed amounts with a third party, Credit Card Company, or bank, SYNTHX MEDIA will submit the full delinquent amount for Collection.
The period within which Billing Disputes can be initiated
A Billing Dispute Notice may be lodged in the required manner until the passing of 60 days from the date of the relevant invoice.
Circumstances under which payment of a Disputed Amount may be withheld
You may only withhold payment of a Disputed Amount where SYNTHX MEDIA receives a valid Billing Dispute Notice relating to such Disputed Amount at least 5 Business Days before
the Due Date indicated on the relevant invoice.
A Billing Dispute can only be validly initiated through the submission of a valid Billing Dispute Notice using the Customer Zone.
