Charges for Services and Equipment
You are responsible for paying all charges
applicable to your Equipment and Service provided to you,
including: access charges, features, toll, long distance, and
directory assistance. In addition, you are responsible for
paying any taxes, surcharges, fees and assessments imposed by us
or a governmental authority from time to time in connection with
the Services or Equipment.
Billing Information Provided by You
To determine whether certain taxes, fees
and surcharges are applicable to Service provided to you, we are
required by federal law to obtain your street address, which
must be within our service area. You represent and warrant that
the address you provide us to obtain Service is correct, and you
acknowledge that we are relying on this information to determine
which taxes, fees or surcharges are applicable to you Service.
You agree to notify us if your address changes. In the event you
do not provide us with a valid address or address change, you
understand and agree that you may be responsible for additional
taxes, fees or surcharges for your Service, and we may terminate
your Service. For on-line orders, all applicable taxes, fees and
surcharges may not be reflected in the Service Order, but will
appear on your DynamicPBX bill.
Billing and Payments
All Service and other recurring charges
are billed one month in advance and we will not prorate charges
or provide you a credit for any partial periods if you terminate
your service on a date prior to the last day of your billing
cycle. We will bill you monthly for all charges associated with
the Services, and we will invoice you for all charges associated
with Equipment. Payment in full is due no later than the due
date indicated on your bill. If you have authorized payment for
Services or Equipment by credit card or by debiting a bank
account, no additional notice or consent is required before we
invoice the credit card or debit the bank account for all
amounts due to us for any reason. We may accept late payments,
partial payments or any payments marked as being “payment in
full” or as being settlement of any dispute without losing any
of our rights under this Agreement. You agree to pay costs and
fees we incur to collect an unpaid balance from you.
Disputed Bills
You agree that you have a responsibility
to review bills in a timely manner and that you may dispute any
portion of a bill in good faith. To dispute a bill, you must
deliver to us in writing the specific basis for the dispute
within thirty (30) days after the date on the bill. If you
comply with the dispute process, you may withhold disputed
amounts from us until the dispute is resolved, but you are
responsible for paying us for all other undisputed charges. You
agree that we deny and you waive automatically any dispute that
is not filed until one year or later after the date of issuance
of the applicable bill or invoice.
Credits and Deposits
You authorize us to ask credit-reporting
agencies for credit information about you. We may, in our
discretion, require you to submit a deposit as security for
payment of charges. An additional deposit may be required if
either the amount or number of Services is increased or your
credit rating changes. Simple interest will be paid on the cash
deposit for the period it is held by us and will be refunded if
satisfactory credit has been established or upon termination of
service. We reserve the right to apply the deposit to any amount
due and unpaid. We may require a guarantee of payment by an

that may become available to you. If you do not want us to
provide your information to other DynamicPBX entities for this
purpose, please notify us.
