Your Payments; Late Fees
Payment is due in full as stated on your bill. If we do not receive
payment in full by the date specified on your bill, a late payment
charge, which may be charged at the highest rate permissible by
law, may be applied to the total unpaid balance. We may also
charge you any costs we pay to a collection agency to collect
unpaid balances from you. If we bill you for amounts on behalf of a
third party, payments received are first applied to our charges. You
may be charged additional fees for certain methods of payment.
We may charge you, up to the highest amount permitted by law,
for returned checks or other payments paid by you and denied for
any reason by a financial institution. Acceptance of payments
(even if marked “paid in full”) does not waive our right to collect all
amounts that you owe us. We may restrict your payment methods
to cashier’s check, money order, or other similar secure form of
payment at any time for good reason.
Taxes & Government Fees
You agree to pay all federal, state and local taxes, fees and other
assessments that we’re required by law to collect on the Services
we provide you and remit to the government. These charges may
change from time to time without advance notice. If you’re
claiming any tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid
exemption certificate. Tax exemptions generally won’t be applied
retroactively.
Surcharges
You agree to pay the surcharges, fees and other charges that we
assess to recoup our government costs or costs of complying with
certain government programs (“Surcharges”). Surcharges aren’t
