3b. Payment method
Moons Oven cleaning customers may pay by Sterling cash, cheque or BACS credit payment; customers making payment by BACS are requested to complete the transaction on the day of your clean where possible.
If a customer has to be contacted on three occasions, to chase the non-arrival of a BACs payment, after the 3rd occasion, MOC will suspend any further visits, irrespective if any payment is then made.  In addition, having chased the payment on three consecutive occasions, for non payment, MOC reserve the right, after one calendar month has elapsed since our visit, to charge an additional administration fee of £25, and interest on the original invoice amount of 3% above the prevailing base rate of the Bank Of England, until full payment is received.
