The User is responsible for any and all fixed and accumulative charges for this account. The first month service fee (or
other available billing period selected) is due upon account setup. Each month (or other billing period selected), on the date of the application, the account
will be charged the monthly access and any other fees for the new month plus any accumulated charges for the past month. Unused free hours do not accrue from
one month to the next. Failure to use this account(s) does not relieve the user of payment obligations.
Credit Card customers agree to allow Badpuppy to bill such card on each successive billing date automatically after the
initial charge and account setup. User agrees to allow Badpuppy to make the automatic monthly charge without separate authorization from the account holder.
Credit Card customers shall notify Badpuppy of any changes in Credit Card Number or expiration date. If the card is not honored for any reason Badpuppy will attempt
to notify the card holder from telephone information given at sign-up. Badpuppy may also attempt to contact the card holder ONE time, via the email address
provided at subscription. If alternative billing is not established within seven (7) days the account will be terminated. Re-establishment of the account will
be subject to a $5.00 reconnection fee.
If payment is by check, payment due dates are indicated on your invoice, which will arrive via email and contains your
user identification and password. Dishonored checks are subject to a collection fee and your account may be suspended until the account is current. If payment
is not received within 7 days of the due date, service will be terminated.
Badpuppy has the right to instantly terminate service for any unpaid or partial paid subscriptions. Accounts in default are
subject to an interest charge of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance. Termination of service shall not relieve the user from the obligation to satisfy
outstanding invoices. In the event Badpuppy utilizes an attorney to collect such sums, the user shall be responsible for the payment of all of Badpuppy attorneys'
fees and costs in pursuing the collection of these sums.
Badpuppy reserves the right to cancel service for any reason without prior notice. In case of cancellation, unused fees may
be returned to the user on a pro-rata basis.
The User must notify Badpuppy in writing to cancel service. Fees for any setup and the first month's service are not
refundable, unless the customer is unsuccessful in using the account and notifies Badpuppy within ten days of establishing said service.
In addition to any price for services, Customer shall be responsible for the gross amount of any present or future
federal, state, municipal or other government sales, use, excise, value added or other similar taxes applicable to the price, sales or delivery of any services
