The Subscriber agrees to maintain a valid payment method on file with the Company throughout the subscription term and acknowledges that the Company is permitted to automatically charge this payment method for the monthly subscription fee and termination fee. Should the payment method on file be declined or insufficient for any reason, the Subscriber will promptly provide an alternative payment method to ensure uninterrupted service.

Collection Agency Fees

In the event that any amount due under this Agreement is not paid within 30 days after the due date, and the account is referred to a collection agency for recovery, the Subscriber agrees that the Company is permitted to add any collection agency fees and associated costs to the outstanding balance. These fees may include, but are not limited to, collection agency charges, attorney fees, and other expenses incurred in the process of collecting the overdue amount. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees to pay all such additional costs and fees associated with the collection of the overdue balance.

Month-to-Month Cancellation Policy
