Late payments may attract penalties, including:

  • Accrued interest on overdue amounts
  • Temporary or permanent suspension of credit facilities

Credit Review and Renewal

Credit accounts are subject to periodic reviews. These reviews are based on updated financials, trading consistency, and adherence to prior payment terms. Clients are expected to cooperate fully and submit updated documents upon request.

Credit terms may be adjusted, renewed, or revoked depending on the review outcome.

Client Responsibilities

Clients must ensure:

  • Full accuracy of submitted documents
  • Timely communication of any changes in company structure, registration, or compliance status
  • Prompt payment of all invoices in accordance with the agreed terms

Failure to comply may result in suspension or termination of credit privileges.

Retention of Title

All goods delivered under credit remain the property of Rapidtech Networks Limited until payment is received in full. Clients are prohibited from selling, transferring, or altering the goods until ownership is legally transferred.

In cases of non-payment, Rapidtech reserves the right to repossess goods or pursue recovery actions.

Credit Default and Recovery

In the event of default:

  • Legal proceedings or debt collection may be initiated
  • All associated costs (legal fees, collection fees) will be charged to the client

  • Immediate suspension of the credit facility
  • Reduction of credit limit
  • Total termination of the credit relationship

Rapidtech Networks Limited reserves the right to make these decisions unilaterally and without prior notice.

Confidentiality and Data Use

All information submitted by clients as part of the credit application process will be treated with the strictest confidentiality. Data will only be used for credit evaluation, compliance, and account management purposes.

Dispute Resolution

Disputes related to credit approvals, payment terms, or account status should be addressed directly with Rapidtech Networks Limited. Where necessary, unresolved matters may be escalated to mediation or arbitration, governed by the laws of Kenya.

By submitting a credit application to Rapidtech Networks Limited, the client confirms their acceptance of these terms and consents to the use of their information solely for the purpose of evaluating and managing their credit relationship.
