Expenses. If The Company is required to incur in any additional costs or expenses in providing You Services or support under this Agreement, The Company shall first obtain Your written approval.
So basically we mean:
iCLINICIAN Premium is a subscription service. The preferred method of payment for iCLINICIAN is with GoCardless. If your account is past due, we have the right to suspend it.
