Explanation:
or: with the start of each week being in default.

Here, they talk about breach of contract. In the US, it's called "past due". You get a 'past due notice' when you are late in paying your bills. "In default" is the same, albeit a bit more formal. 'Delaying' a payment may not necessarily be a violation of contract, there may be no valid invoice or no valid address where to send it.
