GulfNettcom Networks,
Inc.'s Billing Policies - Read Carefully
(Incorporated into the Terms of Service Contract)
1) What are the costs and when do they start?
The periodic charge varies for each type of account.
Setup of your account begins upon receipt of the first hosting period's service fee.
Orders received before 1:00 pm Eastern time are setup the same business day. Orders
received after 1:00 pm Pacific time or orders received on nonbusiness days are setup the
following business day. Your billing cycle will be based on the date we provide you with
login information. All of your future hosting fees will be based on that date.
Prices are subject to change without notice, but are
guaranteed through your paid billing period.
2) How can I pay for my account?
Accounts are paid by MasterCard, Visa,
Discover/Novus, American Express, Diners Club/Carte Blanche . All invoices are emailed monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually (per
your choice) at the beginning of the payment period. Invoices are sent via email the 1st
of each month. Payments are due in our offices no later than their due date regardless
of when the invoice is sent to you. When using Debit Cards, GulfNett.com Networks, Inc.
will not be responsible for any service charges incurred by your bank for billing errors
made by us. Typical Credit Card charges can be easily reversed without any fees incurred
by you the customer. In the case of using a debit card, billing errors can lead to bank
service fees for overdrawn accounts, etc. GulfNett.com Networks, Inc. cannot assume this
risk when you choose to use this form of payment as the normal system available to make
returns or correct billing errors is not available with debit cards, without potentially
overdrawing your account.
Satisfaction is Guaranteed.
5) What will happen if my payment is late for any
invoice? (IMPORTANT)
Payment for all regular monthly invoices are due in
our offices on the date shown on your bill. If payments are not received in our offices by
the due date, a $25 late fee will AUTOMATICALLY be assessed to your account. If payments
are not received in our offices within 15 days of their due date your account, we reserve
the right to deactivate your account. There is a $50 reactivation fee, in addition to the
$25 late fee. If you choose not to reactivate your account you are still responsible for
the days of service you received and any outstanding balance on account including the late
fees. Not paying your bill will not constitute a cancellation and you will be
liable for any service fees incurred. For information on how to cancel, please see
item #4 directly above. Accounts not paid in full at the time of cancellation will be sent
to a collection agency.
If the customer defaults, the customer agrees to pay
GulfNett.com Networks, Inc. its reasonable expenses, including attorney and collection
agency fees, incurred in enforcing its rights under these Terms of Service.
If the customer does a chargeback to their credit or
debit card for any amount charged for services or accounts rendered, there is a $25.00
chargeback fee for each chargeback. The account associated with the chargeback will be
cancelled for nonpayment and sent to collections.
For this reason, GulfNettcom Networks, Inc.
highly recommends that you consider automatic credit card billing to avoid late fees and
deactivation; or placing a month's deposit on account with us so that your account is
always current
