    25. Subject to paragraph 26, Compare My Move offer two payment account options to Removals Firms that are registered with Compare My Move: one is a credit account, which are offered entirely at the discretion of Compare My Move, and the other is a pay as you go account ("PAYGA"), both of which are more fully explained below.

    26. Credit accounts are offered by Compare My Move as a method of payment entirely at its discretion and is under no obligation to offer a credit account facility. In agreeing to open a credit account for a Removals Firm, Compare My Move may, in its discretion, require any Removals Firm to make a payment on account for such amount as Compare My Move considers appropriate and / or impose a monthly credit limit on that Removals Firm's credit account.

    27. Removals Firms that Compare My Move permits to pay for Leads by way of a credit account will be invoiced by Compare My Move on or around the 1st of each month for all Leads supplied to that Removals Firm in the previous month. Payment of these invoices is to be made by direct debit and will be taken from a Removals Firm's designated account on or after the 15th of every month.

    28. Removals Firms holding a PAYGA are required to deposit funds to keep their account in credit to receive Leads. A minimum £50.00 deposit is required to activate a PAYGA. A Removals Firm, if it so wishes, can provide a continuous payment authority to allow Compare My Move to take payments for such amounts and at such regularity as that Removals Firm may decide. If a continuous payment authority has been given by any Removals Firm, it may elect to revoke this authority at any time by its Nominated Contact giving Compare My Move not less than five Business Days' notice by email of such revocation. For the avoidance of doubt, Compare My Move is not obliged to take payments from such credit/debit card provided as a part of the continuous payment authority and it is the Removal Firm's responsibility to ensure that its account has sufficient credit in order to receive Leads.

    29. In the event that the balance of a Removals Firm's PAYGA falls to an amount that is less than the cost of any one Lead ("the Minimum Balance"), that Removals Firm's registration will be deemed suspended in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 6 and, as such, Compare My Move will be under no obligation to provide Leads to that Removals Firm during the period of suspension. Once a Removals Firm's PAYGA balance is increased to a level above the Minimum Balance, the PAYGA in question will be deemed immediately re-activated and that Removals Firm will be immediately eligible to receive Leads. For the avoidance of doubt, where a Removals Firm has chosen to receive various types of Leads, the Minimum Balance for the purpose of this paragraph shall be by reference to the cost of the most expensive Lead that they have chosen to be supplied with.

    30. Any late payments by a Removals Firm under these terms and conditions will incur a charge of £25.00. A late payment is for any payment received after the due date indicated on an invoice. In addition, where Compare My Move has unsuccessfully attempted to collect a payment by direct debit from a Removals Firm for any amount that is owed in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, the Removals Firm's account with Compare My Move will be immediately deemed suspended in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 6 and will only be reactivated the Removals Firm has repaid all outstanding amounts by it to Compare My Move, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the charge of £25.00 imposed by this paragraph.

    31. Compare My Move reserves the right to impose further charges if invoices become seriously overdue (more than 14 days). These can include interest, costs for outsourced debt collection and/or solicitors & court costs if necessary.

    32. If a Removals Firm elects to cancel its account with Compare My Move in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, any amount that the Removals Firm has in credit with Compare My Move within its PAYGA will be refunded to that Removals Firm within 15 Business Days of cancellation, subject to the right of Compare My Move to apply such credit towards satisfying any other outstanding debts that the Removals Firm has with Compare My Move.

As an absolute minimum, a Removals Firm must have in place goods in transit insurance that provides a sufficient level of cover in proportion to the value of goods, possessions and / or property that a Removals Firm will be transporting in providing its services to a Customer. A Removals Firm agrees to indemnify Compare My Move against any losses, liabilities, claims, actions and damage that Compare My Move may incur as a result of a Removals Firms' breach of this provisions of this paragraph.

    37. Compare My Move reserves the right to increase the price of the supply of Leads at any time.
