AGREEMENT BETWEEN USER AND CustomTollFree
By subscribing to and/or using CustomTollFree services, you (Customer) agree to the following terms and conditions:
Rates and Billing
Rates and fees for CustomTollFree services are available at the CustomTollFree web site and those rates and fees are fully incorporated herein. Service fees are in addition to usage fees and represent charges for on-line enhanced data services. (Read the FAQ’s and web site descriptions for other important information on the services.) The rates and charges may be changed at any time without notice and it is up to the Customer to check the listed rates for such changes. CustomTollFree may post notices of any rate changes on Customer’s invoices or on the account login page. Per minute rates shown are for one minute in U.S. dollars. All calls are billed in six-second increments with a 60-second minimum except International (non- U.S. and Canada) calls that are billed in one-minute increments. All call charges are rounded up to the nearest penny. It is customer's responsibility to make sure their ring-to numbers are working numbers with sufficient call capacity. If unanswered calls to any CustomTollFree number exceed 20% of Customer's usage for that CustomTollFree number, CustomTollFree will charge a $0.03 per uncompleted call surcharge for every unanswered call in excess of 20%. Calls that are blocked by the customer on the CustomTollFree interface will not be counted as unanswered calls - unanswered calls subject to this surcharge are only those calls that are busy, ring-no-answer or sent to a non-working number on the ring-to number. Customer is responsible for all calls made to the CustomTollFree toll free and/or local numbers including but not limited to wrong number, telemarketing and fraud calls. All charges for services will be debited to the credit card provided by Customer. If the credit card payment is denied, or if the account is otherwise past due, service may be disabled immediately and terminated if the payment is not made within five days of the due date or date upon which the credit card charge was attempted. CustomTollFree shall not be liable for any accounts suspended or terminated for non-payment. Numbers on past-due, suspended, or terminated accounts cannot be ported. Any dispute or billing discrepancy must be submitted in writing via an email to CustomTollFree within 60 days of Invoice. Customer agrees to pay interest at 18% per annum, or the maximum amount allowed by law, on overdue charges plus reasonable cost of collections, including legal fees. Processing charges may apply if a payment is declined ($10 per credit card decline. Service will be rendered subject to credit approval by CustomTollFree. Customer’s application for service, via the Internet, by fax or mail or Customer’s use of CustomTollFree service attests to Customer’s agreement to pay invoices within the stated terms and conditions and Customer’s agreement with the terms and conditions herein.
