In the event of non-payment, you will be contacted to remind you that payment is overdue. If payment is not received in full within 7 days of this reminder, a weekly recurring late-payment fee of 8% will be added to the account.  South Downs Therapy reserves the right to refer further non-payment to a solicitor and to commence legal action.
