We may decide to send invoices or other documents to you by post, and in this case we will send such documents to the address you supplied at sign-up and you should send any notice to us to our postal address indicated in this document. You must tell us straightaway about any change in your email or postal addresses. We allow 48 hours for you to receive bills and notices through the post. You agree that after 48 hours we can assume you have received the bill or notice. You may send us email communication at the address service@ibox.ie. However you should be aware that technical difficulties may prevent us from receiving such communication. If the email communication is one that you expect a reply to, and you receive no reply within 72 hours, you must resend the communication in writing to our postal address, as shown in this document.
