Establishment of this service is
contingent upon receipt of payment from Customer to WebPower. Subsequent
payments are due on the anniversary date of the month for that month’s service,
unless customer requests all monthly payments to be consolidated to one specific
billing date. Any additional services relative to a primary hosting account,
will be prorated to the primary hosting account’s monthly recurring billing
date, along the following guidelines of prorating methodology: (total monthly
fees/ 30) * number of days to monthly recurring billing cycle. Any setup fees
will be charged full setup fee pricing, and are applied at time of initial
request of such services.
Payment is due on the defined
monthly recurring billing date of each month. Credit cards that are declined for
any reason are subject to a $10.00 declination fee. Payments made by cheque that are returned NSF or can not be processed on cheque date shall be subject to a $25.00 charge. Service will be interrupted
on accounts that reach 7 days past due. Service interrupted for nonpayment is
subject to a $75.00 reconnect charge. Accounts not paid by due date are subject
to a $7.95 late fee. Domain names registered by WebPower on behalf of a client who's account is in arrears shall default to the property of WebPower. Accounts that are not collectable by WebPower will be
turned over to an outside agency for collection. If your account is turned over
for collection, you agree to pay the company a “Processing and Collection” Fee
of not less than Fifty ($50.00) nor more than One Hundred, Fifty ($150.00)
WebPower may temporarily deny
service or terminate this Agreement upon failure of Customer to pay charges when
due. Such termination or denial will not relieve Customer of responsibility for
the payment of all accrued service fees, or any collection fees.
Should your reseller
account become delinquent, and payment not made to WebPower, resulting in a
suspension of service you will have 48 hours to make restitution for the
delinquent balance. Any account left unpaid after 48 hours of suspension and
reseller not contacting the WebPower billing department to resolve the issue
will allow for the reseller's client to be able to purchase the server directly,
and assume financial responsibility from that point forward. The balance must be
paid entirely by the client prior to lifting the service suspension. Resellers
shall not hold WebPower responsible for failure to appropriately pay their
invoices in a timely manor set forth in your original contracts.

dispute occurred. Disputed charges to your credit card issuer, also known as
charge backs, in WebPower’s discretion which is valid, under the terms and

reseller hosting, and windows hosting plans come with a day money back
promise. If for whatever reason we fail to satisfy your needs and are within
