11. CHARGES FOR SERVICES
The Services are charged according to the pricing plan selected and agreed upon by the User. All prices are in US dollars.
There are currently two types of pricing plans, Subscription Plans known as "Volume Plans" and a "Pay as You Go" Plan. 20/10 DIRECT reserves the right to modify or otherwise alter these plans, add new types of Plans or vary the pricing at any time. These changes will be available to the User on the 20/10 Direct.com website. The User is responsible for reviewing the pricing and remaining aware of the fees charged by 20/10 Direct.
Under "Volume Plans", Users are charged a monthly fee for access to the Services, data storage, support and sending up to the specified maximum number of emails per month as defined in the plans. Such monthly charge will be made each month for a minimum of six (6) months ("Initial Period") from the date of sign-up to the Volume Plan. Following the expiration of the Initial Period OR of an annual subscription plan, the charges will continue on a monthly basis unless the User notifies 20/10 Direct in writing that they wish to renew their annual subscription plan, terminate the Service, or downgrade the account to a lower Volume Plan. The User may upgrade their plan at any time, including during the Initial Period or before the expiry of their annual plan, by notifying 20/10 Direct Customer service in writing. The monthly fee is due in advance upon commencement of the subscription (the "Monthly Anniversary Date") and monthly in advance thereafter, on the month's "Monthly Anniversary Date". On each Monthly Anniversary Date, Users are charged the monthly fee plus a charge for emails sent in excess of the maximum number of emails per month as defined in the plan. In the event of a plan change during the month that results in the User selecting a plan that increases the number of emails available to the User, the User is charged the difference between the old plan monthly fee and the new plan monthly fee upon notice from the User. The number of emails included in the Volume Plan increases immediately to those under the new Volume Plan.
Under the "Pay as You Go Plan", Users are charged for emails sent on a per campaign basis. The rate card determines the charge per email in effect at the time the campaign is run. The User may cancel this account at any time.
Payment for Services will be made by credit cards accepted by 20/10 Direct. User hereby authorizes 20/10 Direct to charge the User's credit card for services either on a per-event basis or on a regular once-per-month basis until terminated by a notice in writing. In The event that Charges for any fees are denied by the credit card then User acknowledges that the fees will be paid via check, wire transfer or by other credit card.
In the event of a Volume Plan change during the month that results in a "downgrade" ie the User selects a plan that decreases the number of emails available to the User, the plan change will be effective at the Users' next monthly anniversary date. Volume Plans may be downgraded at any time following the expiration of the Initial Period.
In the event that the User fails to pay for Services, in accordance with the User plan, 20/10 Direct reserves the right to suspend or terminate, with notice as set forth in Section 12, access to the User's account and all related data and remove all the User data permanently form their servers.
12. TERMINATION
This Agreement may be terminated by 20/10 Direct at any time by notifying the User by email.
The User may cancel a "Pay as you Go" account at any time by notifying 20/10 Direct in writing.
The User may terminate this Agreement, by written notice, prior to the end of the Initial Period with pre-payment of Fees upon termination, the "Termination Fee". The amount of the Termination Fee is determined by multiplying the number of full months remaining in the Initial Period by the monthly amount applicable under the User's Volume Plan.
If the Volume Plan has been in place for longer than the Initial Period, no Termination Fee is payable by the User. The User must notify 20/10 Direct a minimum of three (3) days prior to the anniversary date for any downgrade or cancellation of an account.
In the event that 20/10 Direct terminates the Agreement, no Termination Fees are due except in the case where the User's account has been terminated for violation of any of the Usage Rules in Section 7.
If, as a result of the User violating the Usage Rules, the User's account is terminated by 20/10 Direct, the following will apply:
(a) No refund of any monies prepaid for the current month or Initial Period will be given
(b) If the User has pre-paid for more than the Initial Period in advance, a refund of the pre-paid funds less a Termination Fee equivalent to six month of that User's Volume Plan will be charged.
The termination of the Agreement by either party will not affect the User's obligation to pay the charges incurred for services consumed and any fees due and payable, under the termination clause of this contract. All terms of this Agreement which by their nature survive termination, will survive termination, including without limitation, ownership, warranty disclaimers, indemnification and limitations of liability.
Upon termination by 20/10 Direct, the User's right to use the Services will terminate immediately. The User acknowledges and agrees that 20/10 Direct may remove the User's files and information.
