PRICES AND PAYMENT TERMS

WelSim sets prices and accept payments for Products in one of the following currencies depending on Customer's country: USD. Prices in any currency are subject to change by WelSim.

WelSim accepts major debit and credit cards (collectively, "payment cards") for online orders via third-party payment gateway providers, including, but not limited to, FastSpring, Stripe, and PayPal. WelSim is not responsible for any payment failure resulting from inaccurate payment card details provided by Customer when placing an online order, any restrictions applicable to payment card by Customer's bank, or payment gateway failure.

By purchasing Product requiring regular payments on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis ("Recurring Payments"), Customer authorizes WelSim to charge Customer's payment card automatically at the interval and in the amount selected by Customer based on the available options during the purchase process. Customer agrees that the payment card specified by Customer for Recurring Payments is, and will continue to be, an account that Customer owns or is otherwise legally authorized to use, and that Customer will maintain sufficient availability under Customer's credit card limit, or sufficient funds in the account linked to Customer's debit card, as applicable, to pay Recurring Payments. Customer can cancel Recurring Payments at any time via Customer's account prior to the next Recurring Payment due date. If Customer cancels Recurring Payments after this time, the cancellation will not take effect until the following Recurring Payment due date, and no refund or partial refund will be issued to Customer by WelSim.

WelSim only accepts purchase orders from existing corporate Customers that have no outstanding payments past due. Purchase orders can only be paid by wire transfer on net 30 days terms, unless otherwise specified on invoice issued to Customer by WelSim.
