4. Price and Payment

4.1 Service Prices are subject to alteration with 7 days notice and The Company reserves the rights to invoice at the Price ruling on the date of invoice.

5.3 Where Services are to be provided in instalments, each instalment shall constitute a separate contract, and failure by The Company to deliver any one of more instalments in accordance with these Conditions, or any claim by The Client in respect of any one or more instalments, shall not entitle The Client to treat The Contract as a whole as reputed.
