7.2 Vidare äger DATSCHA rätt att vid dröjsmål med betalning samt efter en (1) påminnelse stänga av Kundens tillgång till Produkten intill dess full betalning erlagts, utan att detta påverkar Kundens skyldighet att erlägga full avgift för den period Kunden saknar tillgång till Produkten Vid dröjsmål med betalning med mer än 30 dagar har DATSCHA dessutom rätt att, utöver att kräva fullgörelse, häva Avtalet med omedelbar verkan och kräva skadestånd motsvarande i vart fall avtalade avgifter under hela avtalsperioden.
