Part B: Billing and Payment
1. Charges:
Members are responsible for payment for services agreed upon during activation or by written correspondence, including without limitation, website design and development.
Monies paid to EZ-NetTools for Monthly Services are non-refundable.
Website Development Agreements may be canceled at any time during the development process. If canceled within 3 (three) business days, there will be no penalty or obligation whatsoever and any funds paid will be refunded. After 3 (three) days, the refund will equal the funds paid less a 15 percent cancellation fee (of the agreement total) and any labor, services, and material costs that EZ-NetTools has incurred. The labor hours will be billed at our standard billing rate. If the amounts you have paid are less than cancellation fee and labor, service, and materials, then you are obligated to pay the difference. The Refund Eligibility Period is 90 (ninety) days. No refunds will be paid after 90 (ninety) days have passed from the date of the agreement.
Website Development agreements may be put on hold for up to 2 (two) years from the original date of the signed agreement. After a period of 2 (two) years the funds of the original agreement will be lost. If the customer would like to resume development before 2 (two) years, the funds paid on the original agreement will be available less labor and services provided.
EZ-NetTools reserves the right to negotiate payment options and adjust payment plans as circumstances dictate. Use of certain special EZ-NetTools features may be subject to additional charges. EZ-NetTools reserves the right to change fees or institute new charges at any time, effective upon a 30-day notice to current EZ-NetTools Members, either through electronic or conventional mail.
When the design and development of a contracted website is purchased, you will be provided with a Welcome Website which is a temporary website you can modify and send customers to while your site is being built. Your email accounts and Hostware service are immediately available.
Upon completion of the website, the balance is due and will be collected regardless of any Member delays in providing content. A contracted website design and development will be deemed complete when the webpages, regardless of content, are visible via the Internet and the website processes are functional. Monthly EZ-NetTools service fees are charged each month and begin on the date of the original sale regardless of content and domain name set-up.
2. Method of Payment:
Following the initial payment, subsequent EZ-NetTools monthly charges are paid by automatic fund transfers, credit card transactions, and other payment methods. You may not place orders or attempt to pay for EZ-NetTools services using any expired, false, or unauthorized bank or credit card.
Checks or ACH (electronic checks) issued on closed accounts or insufficient fund checks may be subject to a $25.00 handling fee. Declined credit cards, expired credit cards may be subject to a $25.00 handling fee. EZ-NetTools charges a $200.00 fee to handle unauthorized credit card disputes. Unauthorized credit card disputes are those that are filed directly with a bank or credit card company without official communication or prior effort to resolve the dispute with EZ-NetTools.
To dispute a charge you must first contact our accounting department at accounting@eznettools.com and allow 14 business days for a response. You may also mail your dispute to EZ-NetTools, Attn: Accounting, 238 East 3000 North, Rexburg, ID 83440.
EZ-NetTools reserves the right to cancel your account, without notice, upon rejection of any credit card charges, nonpayment of authorized charges by your bank, or any other indication of credit problems.
3. Non-payment:
A late payment finance charge of 1.5% per month shall be added to all outstanding amounts due. If payment is not received by the next billing cycle, Members will receive a reminder notice that payment is due and that service will be terminated if payment is not received by the following billing cycle.
If payment is not received by the following billing cycle, service will be terminated and collection of the past due amounts may be submitted to a collection agency. Members can reinstate service by paying all past due charges plus a deposit equal to one month’s service.
