Unless otherwise specified in any written offer or promotion, the Service Fees published on the AVSpamfilter website for the particular brand of Service you ordered are applicable to all transactions between you and AVSpamfilter. AVSpamfilter may amend the Services and/or the Service Fees associated with any of the Services at any time and from time to time without notice to you.
2.2 All Service Fees are due according to the schedule published on the AVSpamfilter website for the particular brand of Services you ordered or, if not published, on the first day of the billing cycle. All Service Fees and other monetary payments must be made in U.S. Dollars. If you are not billed by invoice, you authorize AVSpamfilter to charge the credit card, debit card or bank account (whether via ACH service or otherwise) (your "Payment Process") that you provide to AVSpamfilter for payment of the Service Fees for Services you order before AVSpamfilter activates the Services. You further authorize AVSpamfilter to charge you according to your Payment Process for the amount of all subsequent periodic Service Fees (at AVSpamfilter’s then-current rates) prior to the commencement of any renewal period for such Services as described in Section 3 of this Agreement and for the amount of all other fees and charges (at AVSpamfilter’s then-current rates) as they become payable pursuant to this Agreement. Services Fees and all other fees and charges that become due during any renewal period will be charged according to your previous payment option and/or Payment Process. All Payment Process payments are deemed authorized by you and will be assessed in real time.
2.3 If AVSpamfilter does not receive payment from your Payment Processor (i.e., credit or debit card issuer or other financial institution), you agree to pay AVSpamfilter all amounts due upon demand. AVSpamfilter may charge you for a late payment fee equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) on any overdue balance, or the maximum amount allowed by law if less, for each month or fraction of a month the overdue amount remains unpaid. AVSpamfilter may also charge you for an administrative fee for any returned checks or if your Payment Processor declines payment. You agree to pay AVSpamfilter’s collection costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, if AVSpamfilter is required to take action to collect any amounts that you fail to pay when due pursuant to this Agreement.
2.4 AVSpamfilter may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, immediately suspend or terminate your Services without notice to you if you fail to provide valid Payment Processor information or authorization or fail to pay for any Services when due. AVSpamfilter may charge a Fifty Dollar ($50.00) fee to reinstate any Service that has been suspended or terminated.
2.5 There is a non-refundable registration fee for all new domains that you purchase through AVSpamfilter. AVSpamfilter may automatically pay this fee as well as all annual non-refundable renewal fees (both fees also "Service Fees") up to fifteen (15) days in advance of the renewal date on your behalf provided your account is active and current.
