German term

Umtriebsentschädigung

German to English Bus/Financial Swiss German
From a Swiss contract for services. I have a pretty good idea what it is but can't find this Swiss term in any of my dicos and can't think of the right words.

5.4 Werden die Rechnungen nicht in den vertraglichen Fristen bezahlt, kann XXCenter die vertraglichen Dienstleistungen sofort und ohne Vorankündigung suspendieren.
XXCenter übernimmt keine Haftung für Schäden, die dem Kunden dadurch entstehen,
dass die vertraglichen Dienstleistungen suspendiert werden. Für die Wiederaufnahme der
Dienstleistungen ist eine *Umtriebsentschädigung* von CHF .......... exkl. 7.6% MWST zu entrichten.

compensation for re-installment of services

As no one, apart from some Swiss insighters into translating, would know what this word could possibly mean, I would rephrase the whole sentence as suggested.

Having worked in Switzerland before, I know that it is quite common to pay strange little fines whatever they might be called.

reinstatement fee

As one is looking for the name of a fee or charge for a specific service just described, the redundancy in meaning appears correct.
