# Maintenance Charges

To cover server and infrastructure costs for Devices and Licenses, Homnifi introduces a monthly maintenance charge. This fee, deducted automatically from your wallet, kicks in after a 1-year covered period from purchase. 

### Who It Applies To

Maintenance charges apply to:

* All Nodek and CloudK Devices & Licenses with Linked Tokens.
* Applicable after the 1-year covered period (365 days from purchase).
* Delivered Devices with reduced maintenance fees.

***Note*****:** The 1-year covered period and maintenance charges are separate from the 5-year warranty policy.

### Maintenance Fee Basics

Maintenance fees offset backend costs for non-delivered Devices. Here’s how they work:

* **Fee Start Date**: Charges begin on the 1st of the month following the 1-year anniversary of your device or license purchase.
* **Fee Amount**: Varies by type (see table below). No fee is charged if linked tokens $0.
* **Reduced Fees Post-Delivery**: Once the device is delivered and connected to the internet, maintenance fees are reduced.

✅ Devices within the 1-year covered period will display info: *Maintenance Included | X days remaining*.

### Deduction Process

Fees are deducted monthly on the 1st, following this logic:

1. **Wallet Hierarchy**:
   * Primary: USDK-W Wallet.
   * Secondary: USDK Wallet (if USDK-W has insufficient funds).
2. **Partial Payments**: If the full fee can’t be deducted, the system takes the available balance and logs a partial payment.
3. **Prioritization**: Devices with higher maintenance fees (e.g., Homnifi Flash) are charged first.
4. **Zero Balance**: If both wallets have $0, the fee is marked as unpaid, triggering a 5-day grace period.

🔔 Monitor deductions in the *Maintenance Charges* section.

{% hint style="success" %}
Top up your USDK-W Wallet before the 1st to avoid interruptions.
{% endhint %}

### Maintenance Charges UI

Access the *Maintenance Charges* section under the *Devices* module to view:

* **Total Pending Fees**: Sum of all unpaid fees across eligible Devices.
* **Top Up Wallet** : Button redirects to the Deposit page with USDK Wallet pre-selected and required amount auto-filled.
* **Devices List and Historical Log**:

✅ *Example*:

| Device ID | Status        | Monthly Fee | Pending | Last Deduction     | Wallet | Remarks         |
| --------- | ------------- | ----------- | ------- | ------------------ | ------ | --------------- |
| ND12345   | Non-Delivered | $8.33       | $5.33   | 01-Oct-2025, $3.00 | USDK   | Partial Payment |

### 1-Year Covered Period

For the first 365 days after purchase:

* **No Fees**: Maintenance is included in the purchase price.
* **UI Indicator**: A label shows *Maintenance Included | X days remaining*

🕒 On day 366, the label switches to *Maintenance Charges Active*.

### Grace Period and Suspension

If a fee remains unpaid on the 1st:

* **5-Day Grace Period**: Devices functions normally, but a warning appears:
  * Countdown timer (dd:hh:mm:ss) on the Devices card.
  * A reminder text: “Pending maintenance fee. Top up within 5 days to avoid reward suspension.”
* **Post-Grace Period** (if unpaid):
  * Status changes to *Suspended due to unpaid maintenance fee*.
  * Device gets greys out with a *Top up wallet to resume rewards* label.
  * Base and supernode rewards are disabled.
  * Device is excluded from supernode benefit calculations.
  * Other actions (e.g., linking USDK) remain available if GAS-USDK are present.

{% hint style="danger" %}
 Partial payments don't reset suspension unless fully paid.
{% endhint %}

### Resumption of Rewards

Once the full pending fee is paid:

* Device resumes base and supernode reward generation.
* Auto-Compound mode (if previously active) reactivates.
* No retroactive rewards for the suspension period.

### Post-Delivery Behavior

When a Computer Device is marked *Delivered* and connected to the internet:

* Maintenance fees are **reduced** (based on Devices type).
* A banner notifies: “Maintenance fees reduced for this delivered Devices .”

### Wallet Transaction Records

Every deduction is logged in the wallet history:

* **Full Payment**: “Maintenance Fee for Computer Device \[Device ID] – \[Month, Year]”
* **Partial Payment**: “Partial maintenance fee of \[X] USDK received; \[Y] USDK pending”
* **Failed Deduction**: “Maintenance deduction failed – Insufficient wallet balance”

### FAQs and Tips

**1. When do fees start?**

On the 1st of the month after the 1-year covered period ends.

**2. What if my wallet has insufficient funds?**

Partial payments are recorded, and a 5-day grace period begins.
