# General settings

> **Where in the admin:** System › Settings › General (`/settings`). Changes take effect immediately (30-second cache).

The page has three sections.

## Branding & URLs

| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Brand name (e-mail, invoices) | Shown in e-mails and invoices. Logo and colours are in [Branding](https://nexcmp.com/docs/customers/branding/) |
| Default language | Language for new visitors |
| Customer app URL | Public address of the portal, for example `https://cloud.example.com` |
| Console URL | Address of the VM console service |
| Admin URL | Link used when you "log in as" a reseller's customer |
| Partner console URL | Used in invitation links, reseller e-mails and the redirect after a top-up |

The wizard fills these in from your domain; change them only if you move the portal.

## Seller & invoicing

Printed on every invoice:

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Legal entity name | Example Cloud Ltd |
| Tax ID | `TAX-000000` |
| Address | 1 Example Street, New York |
| Contact e-mail | `billing@example.com` |
| Invoice number prefix | `INV` (1–8 characters, A–Z and 0–9) |

Existing invoices keep the seller details and number they were issued with; changes affect **new** invoices only.

## Maintenance & region

Turn on **Customer app MAINTENANCE** to show a banner and **block all customer write actions** while the admin console keeps working. Enter the **Maintenance message** customers will see. Use this during upgrades of your infrastructure.
