    • Wil-U Solutions shall be entitled to invoice the Customer for the Price and where applicable any additional charges on or any time after the Contract comes into existence, or where different, in accordance with the payment terms set out in the Specification Document. In the event that any additional charges arise following the issue by Wil-U Solutions of the invoice, Wil-U Solutions will invoice the Customer as and when the additional charges arise.
    • Wil-U Solutions reserves the right to increase the Price and/or additional charges by giving written notice at any time prior to delivery to take account of any increase howsoever arising in the Price and/or additional charges including but without being limited to any increase in the costs of materials, labour or delivery or to take account of any fluctuations in exchange rates, or alteration of duties as shall be reasonable in the circumstances.

This will be invoiced and will be added to the total outstanding debt owed by the Customer.
    • In the event that the Customer’s procedures require an invoice to be submitted against a purchase order to payment, the Customer shall be responsible for issuing the purchase order before the Contract comes into existence.
