# Status and behavior of services

At HidenCloud, each contracted service can be in different states depending on its life cycle and user actions. Below are these states and their meanings:

### 1. <mark style="color:green;">Activated</mark>

* **Description**: This is the normal state of a service that is up and running. It means the service is active, and all associated invoices have been paid. The client has full access to the service and all its functionalities.

### 2. <mark style="color:yellow;">Suspended</mark>

* **Description**: A service enters a suspended state when there is an unpaid service invoice.
* **Important Details**:
  * **Access**: Nothing is deleted, but access to the service is unavailable.
  * **Reason for Suspension**:  The suspension is probably due to an unpaid invoice. If payment is not made within <mark style="color:red;">5 days</mark>, the service will be Terminated.
  * **Client Notification**: "The due date for this service was {due\_date}. We regret to inform you that your service has been suspended due to a missed payment. To avoid termination, please settle/pay any outstanding invoice within {suspended\_after} days from the due date. If payment is not received within this timeframe, your service will be terminated, resulting in the deletion or revocation of all data, files, and licenses associated."
