Services Policy. Some of our services are automatically renewed monthly. For these services, payment is due on the first day of the renewal period. Accounts are in default if payment is not received within 30 days after renewal date. Accounts unpaid 30 days after date of invoice will have service interrupted or terminated. Such interruption does not relieve Customer of the obligation to pay the monthly Fee. Only a written request to terminate Customer's service relieves Customer of the obligation to pay the Monthly Fee. Accounts in default are subject to an interest charge on the outstanding balance of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. Customer agrees to pay Beyond.com its reasonable expenses, including attorney and collection agency fees, incurred in enforcing its rights under these Terms and Conditions. Prices are exclusive of any taxes which may be levied or assessed upon the Equipment or services provided hereunder. Any such taxes shall be paid by Customer. If Customer is exempt from otherwise applicable taxes, Customer must submit its tax identification number and exemption certificate at the same time it submits this Agreement. Beyond.com reserves the right to change the rates for this service by notifying Customer 30 days in advance of the effective date of the change, however such rate change will not apply where the customer has prepaid the subscription. Service may be canceled only upon 30 days advance written notice. In the event of early cancellation of a Term Commitment without cause, Customer will be required to pay 100% of Beyond.com's Monthly Fee for each month remaining in the Term Commitment. "Cause" shall be defined as any performance related issue readily attributable to Beyond.com, in which customer has notified website support and Beyond.com has failed to cure such issues in a reasonable time. Beyond.com reserves the right to remove content from postings on the site. This may include information deemed inappropriate by Beyond.com or contact information such as phone numbers, addresses or email addresses in places on the site where other methods of communication are required.
