Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and contingent on Customer's satisfaction of Exchange My Mail's credit approval requirements, Exchange My Mail agrees to provide the web hosting services described in the Order for the fees stated in the Order.

3. Term

The initial service term of the Agreement shall begin on the date that Exchange My Mail generates an e-mail message to Customer announcing the activation of the Customer's account (the "Service Commencement Date") and shall continue for the number of months stated in the Order (the "Initial Term"). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew the same length as the Initial Term (each a "Renewal Term") unless Exchange My Mail or Customer provides the other with written notice of non-renewal at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term may be referred to collectively in this Agreement as the "Term."

a) Fees
Fees are payable in advance on the first day of each billing cycle. Customer's billing cycle shall be monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually as indicated on the Order, beginning on the Service Commencement Date. Exchange My Mail may require payment for the first billing cycle before beginning service. If the Order provides for credit/debit card billing, Customer authorizes Exchange My Mail to bill subsequent fees to the credit/debit card on or after the first day of each successive billing cycle during the Term of this Agreement; otherwise Exchange My Mail will invoice Customer via electronic mail to the Primary Customer Contact listed on the Order. Invoiced fees may be issued on or before the 1st day of each billing cycle, and the fees shall be due on the 10th day following invoice date ( invoice due date ), but in no event earlier than the first day of each billing cycle.

Payments must be made in United States dollars. Customer is responsible for providing Exchange My Mail with changes to billing information (such as credit card expiration, change in billing address) At its option, Exchange My Mail may accrue charges to be made to a credit/debit card until such charges exceed $10.00. Exchange My Mail may charge interest on overdue amounts at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum non-usurious rate under applicable law. Exchange My Mail may suspend the service without notice if payment for the service is overdue. Reconnection after suspension is $35 for VPS and $70 for dedicated. Fees not disputed within sixty (60) days of due date are conclusively deemed accurate. Customer agrees to pay Exchange My Mail's reasonable reinstatement fee following a suspension of service for non-payment, and to pay Exchange My Mail's reasonable costs of collection of overdue amounts, including collection agency fees, attorney fees and court costs.

Bandwidth is counted as the combined total of in and out and is measured from your billing date to billing date. Overage above your quota is charged at $1/Gb and is payable at your billing date.

b) Fee Increases
Exchange My Mail may increase its fees for services effective the first day of a Renewal Term by giving notice to Customer of the new fees at least forty five (45) days prior to the beginning of the Renewal Term, and if Customer does not give a notice of non-renewal as provided in Section 2 above, the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the new fee for that Renewal Term and any subsequent Renewal Terms (unless the fees are increased in the same manner for a subsequent Renewal Term).

d) Early Termination
Customer acknowledges that the amount of the fee for the service is based on Customer's agreement to pay the fee for the entire Initial Term, or Renewal Term, as applicable. In the event Exchange My Mail terminates the Agreement for Customer's breach of the Agreement in accordance with Section 9 (Termination), or Customer terminates the service other than in accordance with Section 9 (Termination) for Exchange My Mail's breach, the unpaid fees for each billing cycle remaining in the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable, are due on the business day following termination of the Agreement. Customer also acknowledges that a minimum of 10 days cancellation notice prior to the following renewal term must be given in writing to Exchange My Mail or the Customer will be responsible for full payment of the following term. Cancellation will only be accepted by following the cancellation directions. Details here

e) Processing and Collection
