Subsequently, the account will be blocked for a duration of 30 days starting from the cancellation date. Following the 30-day block, it will be possible to resume paid payments. However, repeated non-payment occurrences will result in the permanent deactivation of the account with a Red card. In the event that a Yellow card has been issued and the payment is received after the 30-day blocking period, the Charged Services will be promptly reinstated.
