The aforementioned measures shall not affect the Customer's payment obligations.
The Kinamo Service Level Agreement applies to the services Dedicated Hosting, Cloud Server Hosting, Virtual Server Hosting - if explicitly mentioned in the hosting agreement - and Co-location (Server Housing), and this in accordance with the service level chosen by the Customer.
Kinamo guarantees acceptable availability of the Shared Hosting services, keeping in mind that these services are provided in a shared environment, where the actions of other Customers in the same environment are not under Kinamo's control.

Indeed, Kinamo cannot find out whether the desired domain name is not simultaneously searched for by a third party, and cannot guarantee that the relevant WHOIS databases do not contain errors or imperfections.

Each late payment by the Customer shall also entitle Kinamo to charge a fixed compensation of 12% of the invoice amounts, with a minimum of 50 EUR, to cover Kinamo's administrative costs.
If after a final (second) payment reminder sent by e-mail or by mail to the Customer's contact address payment of the invoice is not followed up, an administrative cost of 7 EUR will be charged for a third reminder. If after this final third reminder payment is not followed up Kinamo reserves the right to have collection of the invoice completed by an external partner.
All costs resulting from enforcing payment through amicable and judicial means, including bailiff and attorney fees, shall be charged to the customer.
Complaints regarding delivery of services or performance cannot be used as grounds for non-payment or late payment of invoices. If within a period of 7 working days no registered written protest has been received regarding an invoice, it will automatically be considered accepted, including the amounts, products and services mentioned.
To the extent the Agreement includes the delivery of equipment transferred in ownership to the Customer, Kinamo reserves ownership until the full amount due from the Customer has been paid.
In case the Agreement includes the placement in a Kinamo data center of equipment owned by the Customer, Kinamo reserves the right not to release such equipment until the full amount due on behalf of the Customer has been paid.
Payments made by the Customer shall first serve to pay interest and costs due and secondly to pay due invoices which have been outstanding the longest, even if the Customer states that the payment relates to a later invoice.
