All Charges are due as soon as the bill is issued. Each bill must be settled by the payment date set out in it. Unless otherwise stated in the bill or elsewhere, all Charges are payable in Singapore dollars. In the absence of fraud or manifest error, subject to Clause 2.5 below, we may rely on each bill as conclusive evidence against you of the accuracy, completeness and truth of all matters stated in it. You are responsible for paying all Charges without any counterclaim, deduction, set off or withholding.

2.5. If you wish to reasonably dispute any amount in your bill, you can withhold payment for such disputed amounts if you inform us in writing prior to the payment date shown on your bill. Otherwise, you are liable to pay us all Charges. We will investigate any such dispute and provide a written response to you within 30 days from the day you notify us of such a dispute.
