Failed payment;
-
Growing backlog or negative payment history;
-

Prices and Payment Terms
These terms apply to Products offered to a Customer in return for a fee paid to RUBYCOMM.
RUBYCOMM, at its sole discretion, sets the prices for Products in one of the following currencies depending on the Customer's country: USD, EUR, GBP or ILS.
​
RUBYCOMM accepts major debit and credit cards (collectively, "Payment Cards") for online orders via third-party payment gateway providers, including, but not limited to PayPal. RUBYCOMM is not responsible for any: (i) payment failure resulting from inaccurate Payment Card details provided by Customer when placing an online order, (ii) any restrictions applicable to Payment Card by Customer’s bank or payment service provider, (iii) payment gateway failure, or (iv) misuse, abuse, unauthorized use, or fraudulent use of Payment Cards.
​
In relation to payment by card or any other form of payment agreed in writing with RUBYCOMM on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis ("Recurring Payments"), by purchasing a Product requiring regular payments, the Customer authorizes RUBYCOMM to charge the Customer’s payment card automatically at the interval and in the amount selected by the Customer based on the available options during the purchase process. The Customer agrees that the payment card specified by the Customer for Recurring Payments is, and will continue to be, an account that Customer owns or is otherwise legally authorized to use, and that the Customer will maintain sufficient availability under the Customer’s credit card limit, or sufficient funds in the account linked to the Customer’s debit card, as applicable, to make Recurring Payments. The Customer can cancel Recurring Payments at any time by sending a written e-mail notice to RUBYCOMM Customer support at support@rubycomm.com. The cancellation will not take effect until the following Recurring Payment due date, and no refund or partial refund will be issued to the Customer by RUBYCOMM.
​
In the event that the Customer leases the hardware equipment of RUBYCOMM, the Customer must return the hardware equipment to RUBYCOMM in a good working order and without any damages and/or harm once the leasing transaction ends. Otherwise, RUBYCOMM shall charge the Customer with the cost of such hardware equipment in accordance with RUBYCOMM's standard price-list that shall be in effect at such time.
​
Unless specified otherwise in a separate commercial agreement between the Customer and RUBYCOMM, in relation to other forms of payment, RUBYCOMM will only accept orders from existing Customers that have no outstanding payments past due. Orders can be paid by wire transfer or by Payment Cards (as defined above), unless otherwise specified by RUBYCOMM. Any offline or online Orders from newly registered Customers are subject to advance payment.
In selected countries and territories, the Customer may choose to appoint a Billing Agent to pay for Orders placed by the Customer, on its behalf. In such cases, the Customer remains RUBYCOMM’s sole contractual counterparty, with rights and obligations as set out in these Purchase Terms and the applicable Terms of Use.
Taxes and Deductions
Product prices do not include any national, state, or local sales tax, use tax, value added tax (VAT), goods and sales tax (GST), digital services tax (DST) or other tax ("Taxes").
​
If a purchase is subject to any Taxes, that Taxes can be added to the invoice.
RUBYCOMM reserves the right to use any global service provider as its designated billing representative to invoice the Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RUBYCOMM remains the Customer’s counterparty and no other provisions of these Purchase Terms shall be affected.
​
If there is a possibility to issue the invoice without Taxes, the Customer is obliged to provide RUBYCOMM with a valid Tax number (e.g. VAT ID) or valid exemption documentation.
​
The Customer bears the sole responsibility for any withholding tax liabilities, and no deductions shall be made by the Customer from the amount payable to RUBYCOMM or its designated billing representative under any invoice. If the Customer is required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any amount payable hereunder, then the amount payable hereunder shall be increased so that after making all required deductions and/or withholdings, RUBYCOMM receives a net amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.
​
Any correction to an invoice for tax reasons (in particular based on the provision of the Customer’s Local Tax number) shall be requested by Customer by the 7th day of the month following the month when the affected invoice was issued, at the latest. RUBYCOMM reserves the right to request any supporting document relating to the requested correction and/or reject any such request if received after this date.
Temporary Suspension for Non-payment
If a Customer fails to pay any amount on time under any Order and/or these Purchase Terms and/or the applicable Terms of Use, or any other agreements the Customer entered into with RUBYCOMM, RUBYCOMM reserves the right to, at its sole discretion, suspend the Customer’s access to all RUBYCOMM Products until such time as RUBYCOMM is satisfied that all payments have been made or terminate the Customer's right to use RUBYCOMM Products, in the manner specified in the applicable Terms of Use.
​
If RUBYCOMM suspends the Customer’s access to RUBYCOMM Products as a result of failure to, or delay in, payment of any amount, the Customer must pay the entire outstanding amount in order to restore its access to RUBYCOMM Products. During any period of suspension, the Customer hereby agrees that RUBYCOMM is entitled to charge the Customer for the entire period for which Customer has placed an Order for subscription, if applicable, to RUBYCOMM Products.
Refund, Withdrawal, and Support
Any refund request following the Product purchase date will be subject to prior authorization by RUBYCOMM, and acceptance of such request shall be at the sole discretion of RUBYCOMM, unless otherwise provided by applicable law.
​
Unless the Customer was subject to a trial period, any Customer has the right to withdraw from the Product purchase contract (as specified in the relevant Order) within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day of purchase (the day of conclusion of the Order). If the Customer was subject to a trial period longer than 14 days, this time frame will be counted as the withdrawal period itself.
​
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer must inform RUBYCOMM of the decision to withdraw from the purchase by an unequivocal e-mail statement. Upon receipt of such e-mail, RUBYCOMM will communicate an acknowledgment of receipt of such a withdrawal by e-mail without delay.
​
Upon exercising a withdrawal option and unless agreed otherwise by the parties in writing, if any hardware has been delivered to the Customer’s premises or is in transit to the Customer’s premises, the Customer is required to return at its own expense to RUBYCOMM’s main office in Israel (unless specified otherwise in writing by RUBYCOMM) any and all hardware equipment belonging to RUBYCOMM by a reliable courier service (e.g. Federal Express, DHL) or freight forwarding company. Without derogating from the above, it is clarified that in order to receive a refund for any hardware equipment purchased, the Customer must return such hardware equipment to RUBYCOMM in a good working order and without any damages and/or harms.
​
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient to send the communication concerning exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired. RUBYCOMM shall reimburse to Customer all payments received without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 business days following the receipt by RUBYCOMM of the hardware equipment from the Customer. Customer will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
​
