Payment of Fees for Service, Charges and Other Billing Information
You agree to pay any applicable fees for the Service plan described on your account page.
All information provided to Cebase.com for billing and/or account setup purposes must be valid, complete, and accurate, including, but not limited to, legal company name, company address, name and phone number for billing contact, credit card information, purchase order information, credit approval information, e-mail addresses, and other billing and/or contact information as applicable. You agree to provide corrected information to Cebase.com within 30 days of any changes to this information. If you provide any false or fraudulent contact information, billing information, and/or credit card information, or Cebaze.com suspects that you have, Cebase.com reserves the right to immediately and permanently terminate your account or access to the Service, in addition to any other legal remedies available. Cebase.com reserves the right to change the fees and charges for any and all services or delinquencies, change usage policies, or to introduce new fees or charges at any time, upon prior notice to you of no less than 30 days. This notice may be sent to you by e-mail.
Cebase.com will automatically charge your credit card account upon the renewal date of your Service for any credit cards held on file. You will be charged for the same time frame as the last service period. Credit card charges that are denied, will be re-tried after 3 days. If the charge does not go through at that time, and you have made no attempt to contact us and correct the matter, your account will be suspended, and you will be charged the unpaid licensing fees, prior to reinstatement of the account.
Billing periods can be monthly or annually. The full fee amount for the Service will be invoiced to you within 30 days prior and must be charged to your credit card, or paid in full, at the commencement of each billing period. This amount must be paid in full prior to the beginning of the billing period. TO AVOID UNWANTED CHARGES, YOU MUST GIVE 30 DAYS PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE TO CANCEL YOUR SERVICE OR TO REDUCE THE SERVICE LEVEL FOR THE SERVICE AGREEMENT.
Cebase.com will issue an invoice within 30 days prior to the beginning of each billing period that will be due and payable prior to the beginning of the billing period for your account. Invoices are sent via email only. Your account will automatically renew and Cebase.com will expect payment by the beginning of each billing period. Subscriptions are prepaid, non-cancelable, non-refundable, and non-reduce-able during the prepaid period (you may add users at any time). Any user licenses added during any of the billing periods will be billed on a pro rata basis. Your credit card must be charged and approved before the account license limit is changed, or you will otherwise be invoiced for the service at that time. Additional user licenses must be paid in full within 30 days to remain current, and will be billed at the then-current Agreement fee amount.
Licenses contracted for will be charged/billed regardless of the activity level of the license. Any other services will be billed as agreed upon when the service request is made. Each user license is entitled to use a maximum of disk storage space as defined in the subscription plan. Account Administrators will be able to easily monitor disk storage usage within Cebase.com. When disk storage space for your account exceeds the then-current maximum per license, you will be charged the additional megabytes, or portion thereof, of disk storage space above the licensed maximum at the price as defined in the subscription plan. Cebase.com reserves the right to change existing account limitations or establish new limitations regarding the Service, user licensing, and account policies as it deems appropriate and in its sole discretion. Any such changes will be incorporated into the Terms Of Service regulating the Agreement between you and Cebase.com for the Service. You agree to regularly review this agreement, and that your continued use after the posted, revised Agreement will constitute your consent to any and all changes it contains.
Termination or Reduction of Service
If paying by credit card your account will be considered delinquent if your credit card company for any reason denies payment to Cebase.com for any charges billed to it for the Service or other requested services and that amount remains unpaid within 30 days of the credit card charge denial. For payments other than by credit card, your account will be considered delinquent if any portion of an invoice remains unpaid within 30 days of the invoice e-mailing date. Delinquent accounts' outstanding balances are subject to interest of 1.5% per month, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. If your account becomes delinquent, you agree that Cebase.com may suspend or terminate this Agreement and your access to the Service and all related stored data. Suspended accounts will remain subject to the Service fees during the period of suspension. Release from suspension of any account requires full payment of all amounts owed, charges incurred. Cebase.com reserves the right to archive or purge all account data from the Service for accounts delinquent for more than one billing period. Restoration of archived data on delinquent accounts will be subject to additional charges of $25.
If you believe you have been billed incorrectly, you agree to notify Cebase.com in writing within 60 days of the invoice, or the credit card charge in question, in order to receive a credit or adjustment. Direct all inquiries to
billing@cebase.com for immediate review.
This Agreement is automatically renewable for the original license contracted for (monthly or annual) at the end of the initial (and all subsequent) billing period, unless either party requests termination of the Agreement, or a change in the Agreement service level. Either party may terminate the Agreement, or reduce the service level, after notifying the other no less than 30 days prior to the end of the license-billing period. You agree to be billed for that 30-day period at the same rate as previously billed for the non-reduced service level. Subscriptions are prepaid, non-cancelable, non-refundable, and non-reduce-able during the prepaid period (you may add users at any time) and continue for the duration initially contracted for, unless Cebase.com terminates the Agreement for cause. The Agreement will then automatically renew for the originally contracted period at our then-current subscription fees. Unless either party provides the other with written notice, 30 days prior to the end of the service Agreement billing period, of its intent to either terminate the Agreement, reduce the service level, or change to some other billing period duration. You agree that if you or Cebase.com terminate any Agreement you will pay the balance due on your account as determined by the Payment of Fees for Service, Charges, and Other Billing Information section of the Agreement Terms and Conditions. You agree that Cebase.com may charge such unpaid fees to your credit card, or invoice you, as applicable, to collect on such unpaid fees and charges.

Important Note: Due to the proliferation of spam, we perform two checks on our incoming email to combat this problem. The first is to check to see if the domain is coming from a black-listed server. All mail from these servers is blocked. The second is to do a reverse DNS lookup. This check confirms that the IP address declared for the email server is the actual IP address that sent the email. If these do not match, the email will be rejected.
