5. By accepting a Bundled Device or a Purchased Device delivered to Subscriber, Subscriber confirms that he/she has inspected the Device and found the same to be in good order and working condition.

Subject to manufacturer’s warranty on the Device, in the event of damage to or loss of the Device, Service Provider shall have no obligation to repair or replace the damaged Device if the same is caused by vandalism, accident, Subscriber’s own fault or negligence or that of a third person, fire, theft or robbery or force majeure.

For Globe Postpaid, Subscriber may also inquire about his/her unbilled charges through any of Service Provider’s communication channels.

ARTICLE 10 Billing and Payments

Subscriber shall inform Service Provider of any change in Subscriber’s billing address.

Notwithstanding the non-delivery to Subscriber of his/her bill, Subscriber shall be responsible for informing himself/herself of any outstanding balance by calling Service Provider’s Customer Service Hotline at (+632 7301000), by visiting Globe Stores, through Subscriber’s account manager, or through the myBill website at www.globe.com.ph and making payment on or before the due date without need of further demand on Service Provider’s part.

3. Service Provider will try to include in Subscriber’s bill all charges for the relevant billing period. However, when this is not possible, Service Provider may include unbilled charges in later bill(s). Service Provider may also render interim billings in advance of the usual billing cycle whenever Subscriber’s actual usage charges exceed his/her Credit Limit. Further, Service Provider may place on a single bill all Services that Subscriber has with Service Provider. At point of sale, however, Subscriber may opt to have his/her Services billed

1. Subscriber shall pay the entire amount billed on or before the due date specified in any payment notification, bill or any other notice sent by Service Provider.

2. Subscriber may pay his/her bill through any of Service Provider’s accredited payment channels listed in Service Provider’s website at www.globe.com.ph or through any Globe Stores.

If Subscriber opts to pay his/her bill via direct debit from an identified account, by credit card, or by check, and the payment is not fulfilled or honored, for example, because of insufficient funds for direct debit or credit card payment, or a dishonored check, Service Provider may charge Subscriber an additional fee.

3. Subscriber’s payments shall be first applied to any late payment fee, billings in arrears, and current billing.

4. In case of overpayment, the excess amount shall be used to offset outstanding charges, fees, cost, rentals or any other sum due in Subscriber’s other bills or Subscriber’s account will be credited with the amount he/she has overpaid. If Subscriber has stopped obtaining the Service, Subscriber will use reasonable efforts to notify Subscriber of the overpayment and refund the same in accordance with Service Provider’s policies.

5. Any late payment made by Subscriber, whether in full or in part, shall not affect Service Provider’s right to pursue legal remedies to collect penalties or damages which Service Provider may incur as a result of Subscriber’s late payment, incomplete payment or non-payment of his/her bill.
