2. Term The term of the Agreement shall begin on the date that Ontrack generates an e-mail message to Customer announcing the activation of the Customer's account (the “ Service Commencement Date ”) and shall automatically renew on a month to month basis: unless Ontrack or Customer provides the other with written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the month they would like to discontinue their service.

3. Payments

•  Accounts New hosting accounts will NOT be created or made available (online) for use until we have received your payment for your first month of service. All payments are to be received in advance of the moth that they are to be applied to, you will have 15 days after the payment deadline to get your payment to us or your account will be temporarily suspended (off line) until we receive your payment. Payments may be sent by either mail or Paypal in the form of a United Stated Post Service Money Order or Paypal. Any account that goes over 90 days suspended due to non payment will have their account permanently deleted and content will be Unrecoverable. Any account that leaved an owed balance of a determined amount by Ontrack and is not paid off in a timely manner we WILL turn your account over to a collections agency for recovery of the funds at your expense.

(b) Fees / Billing Fees are to be paid in advance of the first day of each billing cycle. Customer's billing cycle shall be a calendar month. Ontrack requires payment in full before beginning service. If the Order provides for credit/debit card billing, Customer authorizes Ontrack to bill subsequent fees to the credit/debit card on or after the first day of each billing cycle during the Term of this Agreement; otherwise Ontrack will invoice Customer via electronic mail to the Primary Customer Contact listed on the Order. Invoiced fees may be issued on or before the 1 st day of each billing cycle, and the fees shall be due by the 15 th day following invoice date, but in no event earlier than the first day of each billing cycle. Accounts that are unpaid after 15 days of the invoice will be considered past due, and may be subject to suspension of their account.

Payments must be made in United States dollars. Customer is responsible for providing Ontrack with changes to billing information (such as credit card expiration, change in billing address) At its option, Ontrack may accure charges to be made to a credit/debit card until such charges exceed $10.00. Ontrack may charge interest on overdue amounts at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum non-usurious rate under applicable law. Ontrack may suspend the service without notice if payment for the service is overdue. Fees not disputed within sixty (60) days of due date are conclusively deemed accurate. Customer agrees to pay Ontrack's reasonable reinstatement fee of $25.00 following a suspension of service for non-payment, and to pay Ontrack's reasonable costs of collection of overdue amounts, including collection agency fees, attorney fees and court costs.

(c) Fee Increases Ontrack may increase its fees for services effective the first day of a Renewal Term by giving notice to Customer of the new fees at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the Renewal Term, and if Customer does not give a notice of non-renewal as provided in Section 2 above, the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the new fee for that Renewal Term and any subsequent Renewal Terms (unless the fees are increased in the same manner for a subsequent Renewal Term).

(d) Taxes at Ontrack's request Customer shall remit to Ontrack all sales, VAT or similar tax imposed on the provision of the services (but not in the nature of an income tax on Ontrack), regardless of whether Ontrack fails to collect the tax at the time the related services are provided.

(e) Early Termination Customer acknowledges that the amount of the fee for the service is based on Customer's agreement to pay the fee for the entire Term, as applicable. In the event Ontrack terminates the Agreement for Customer's breach of the Agreement in accordance with Section 9 (Termination), or Customer terminates the service other than in accordance with Section 9 (Termination) for Ontrack's breach, the unpaid fees for each billing cycle remaining in the Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable, are due on the business day following termination of the Agreement.
