6. Fees and Billing

6.1 Fees

The fees associated with the Services provisioned are effective once the registration form is completed unless the account is terminated within the 30 day trial period. Provisioned Services are invoiced on a recurring basis at the rates set forth on the Site or on the Control Panel at the time of provisioning. You will receive 60 days prior notice of any increase or decrease in such fees.

6.2 Liability

The individual agreeing to the Services is personally liable for any and all non-payment by you. Any Services enabled by request or in the Control Panel are billable and cannot be refunded due to user negligence. The person assenting to this Agreement also assumes all fees associated with non-payment.

6.3 Payment Terms

a. Month to Month. The default payment term is monthly where you will be billed on the 1st of each month for any Services enabled in the month prior to the invoice unless canceled within the first 30 days of opening an account with us.

b. Yearly. Yearly payments are non-refundable. There are no refunds for a pre-paid yearly term unless you notify use of your desire to cancel within the first 30 days. If you make any changes to your account, the additional Services will be billed on a prorated basis for 12 months so that all pre-paid yearly billing occurs on a single invoice.

6.4 Payment Methods

Payments must be remitted in USD currency by one of the following methods:

a. Credit Card. Fees that you incur for the Services will be charged to the credit card number you provide during registration. If this credit card number expires or if we are otherwise unable to debit valid charges to this credit card, we will notify you of the problem and reserve the right to terminate your access to the Services within 30 days of such notice unless you provide us with an alternative method of payment acceptable to us, within our sole discretion, within the 30 day period.

b. Check. Fees that you incur for the services must be received within 10 days after the end of the calendar month in which the Services are provided. Partial payments will not be accepted. Checks that are not the full amount of the invoice due will be automatically shredded for security purposes and you will be notified of the rejection and non-payment.

6.5 Other Fees

Other fees assessed on a one-time or as-needed basis are as follows:

a. Set up. If a set up fee is associated with any service this fee is due on the invoice following the set up of the Service.

b. Professional Services Fees. These fees are determined based on the services rendered. Once the initial quote is agreed to by you, payment must be remitted before the services will be performed. E.g. restoration of deleted mailbox.

c. Late Fees. Invoices that are unpaid within 10 days will incur a $5 late fee. If the entire balance is not paid within 30 days the account may be suspended.

d. Returned Check Fees. Accounts with returned checks will be assessed with a $50 late fee or the highest fee permitted by law. If the balance is not paid within 30 days the account will be suspended. www.saashhost.net Page 4 of 7 408-351-5630

e. Administrative Fees. These fees may be assessed when we incur expenses or expend resources based solely on you and not on the entire User base. E.g. Fees incurred if an unpaid balance must be sent to a third party collection agency.

f. Interest on Unpaid Balances. Any unpaid balance shall accrue interest at the rate of 1 1/2 percent per month, compounded monthly, or the highest interest rate permitted under the law. This rate shall apply for both pre and post judgment balances.

6.6 Account Suspension and Collection

If an account balance is overdue, the Services will be automatically suspended. This suspension entails being locked out of all hosted services and the Control Panel. In order to lift the suspension, any outstanding balances must be paid in full along with late fees, and a reactivation fee of $5. Unpaid balances will be set to a third party collection agency after 60 days past due date and an additional administrative fee will be assessed.

6.7 Fee Dispute – Initial Resolution

All billing discrepancies and disputes must be provided in writing along with a spreadsheet detailing invoiced charges juxtaposed against charges on the credit card statement. Application of credits or refunds can only be done within 90 days of the invoice disputed. Any disputes after 90 days will not be considered without home-office approval and the assessment of an administrative fee.

7. Privacy

We will take all reasonable measures to not share any private information about you with any party outside of this Agreement. In the event we receive a request for your information, we will notify you and seek prior approval before disclosure. Notwithstanding the above, you agree and consent that we may access, preserve, and disclose your information, data (including without limitation e-mails, contents of user accounts) at our sole discretion if we reasonably believe the disclosure is necessary to comply with (a) the legal process, (b) enforce the terms of this Agreement, (c) respond to your requests for customer service, or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of us or the public.
