and conditions of the End-User Services Agreement, the Client Services
Agreement, all Exhibits thereto and all related amendments.
1. Fees and Payment.
Support User shall pay the fees for the Support Services as provided
in this Agreement and the End-User Services Agreement, the Client
Services Agreement, all Exhibits thereto and all related amendments.
All fees are due immediately and prior to Company's provision of Support
Services. All fees are non-refundable unless termination is requested
within fourteen (14) days of signup. Company reserves the right to
change rates by notifying Support User by email, to the email address
provided in Support User's Control Center account with Company, thirty
(30) days prior to the effective date of the change. Support User
shall make all payments in U.S. currency with a credit card which
will be billed in advance for any and all monthly fees, or through
any other payment methods authorized by Company.
Unless a written cancellation notice is received, the Company will
use the current account billing profile to renew the Support Service
at the end of the Monthly, 6-month, and Yearly service. Cancellation
notices must be received at emailcancellation@everyone.net.
Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate Support Service
if credit card charges are denied. Such suspension or termination
shall not relieve User of the obligation to pay the fees due. Support
User agrees to pay to Company Company's reasonable expenses, including
attorneys' fees and collection agency fees, incurred in enforcing
Company's rights under this Agreement.

only receives support via telephone for the first fourteen (14)
days after signing up for the Support Services.
