SECTION II – PAYMENT

4 FEES AND PAYMENT.
4.1 FEES, TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES.
You agree to pay, in advance, and in accordance with the provisions of the billing option you selected, any registration, activation and/or monthly fees, ISP service charges, minimum charges and other amounts charged to or incurred by you, or by users of your account, at the rates in effect for the billing period in which those amounts are charged or incurred. You agree to pay all applicable taxes and Universal Service assessments related to your use of the Service or the use of the Service by users of your account. Information on charges and surcharges (if any) that are to be paid to us and are incurred by you or by users of your account will be made available to you on the Website, and you agree that this is sufficient notice for all purposes as to charges incurred and paid or to be paid to us. Agristar reserves the right to increase fees, surcharges, monthly subscription fees or to institute new fees at any time upon thirty (30) days prior notice. You understand and acknowledge that you may not receive a bill in the mail for your Service. Additional terms relating to pricing, billing and payment are set forth and available on the Website.

4.2 PAYMENT.
Except where additional methods of payment are specifically required or permitted under applicable law or regulation or where Agristar explicitly and in advance permits another method of payment, you agree that you will provide a major credit or charge card (i.e., MasterCard, Visa, American Express or Discover) that Agristar may charge for all Service fees or other amounts payable under this Agreement. Additionally, you agree that Agristar may pre-charge your monthly Service fee to the credit or charge card supplied by you during activation or subscription. You hereby authorize automatic credit or charge card billing by Agristar for all such charges. You further agree that the charges described above will be billed to the credit or charge card that you have provided when you applied for the Service. YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE, AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION IN ORDER TO KEEP YOUR ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE). CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE EMAILING BILLING@AGRISTAR.COM. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE US WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT AGRISTAR MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY SERVICE PROVIDED UNDER YOUR ACCOUNT, AND THAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LATE FEES ASSOCIATED WITH AGRISTAR’ INABILITY TO OBTAIN PAYMENT BASED ON BILLING INFORMATION YOU HAVE PROVIDED. You agree that all charges are considered valid unless disputed in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date you receive your credit or charge card bill. You agree that Agristar will not be responsible for any expenses that you may incur resulting from overdrawing your bank account or exceeding your credit limit as a result of an automatic charge made under this Agreement.

In the event that you used a debit card to activate your subscription, you authorize Agristar to initiate debit entries to your checking or savings account, as the case may be, for payment of the monthly charge for the Service. Agristar, pursuant to this authorization, will debit the monthly service charge for the Service from your account each month. In addition, Agristar will deduct from your account any and all early termination charges arising from termination of your Service prior to its required minimum term. Agristar will not be responsible for any overdraft or other third-party fees or penalties resulting from Agristar debiting from your account any amount authorized by this Agreement or any other agreement between you and Agristar. Agristar will charge a return fee for each debit that is declined by your bank. The return fee will vary from state to state and will be the maximum amount allowed in each state. You acknowledge that the recurring debit authorized hereunder will purchase the Service and that Agristar will continue to debit monies from your account until you revoke this authorization by notifying Agristar.

If you decide to pay by check, in the event that checks submitted by you are returned for insufficient funds, or if your account is suspended for non-payment, and you wish to restore Services, in addition to other charges which may be applicable, you may be liable for an additional administrative charge of up to $25. If you think a charge is incorrect or you need more information, you should contact Agristar’s billing department. You must contact Agristar within sixty (60) days after receiving the statement on which the error or problem appeared. Agristar will make available to you a statement for each billing cycle showing payments, credit purchases and other charges. Payment of the outstanding balance is due in full each month, and may be billed in advance or pre-charged as set forth above. If your payment is not received by Agristar before the next statement is issued, you may be charged interest on the delinquent balance at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, prorated on a daily basis. Agristar may, but is not required to, accept partial payments from you. If partial payments are made, they will be applied to statements starting with the oldest outstanding statement. If you send Agristar checks or money orders marked "payment in full" or otherwise labeled with restrictive endorsements, Agristar can, but is not required to, accept them, without losing any of Agristar’s rights to collect all amounts owed by you under this Agreement. In the case of late payment or non-payment, you understand and agree that Agristar may report such late payment or non-payment to the appropriate credit reporting agencies. If Agristar chooses to use any collection agency or attorney to collect money that you owe Agristar or to assert any other right which Agristar may have against you, you agree to pay the reasonable costs of collection or other action including, but not limited to, the costs of a collection agency, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and court costs, as provided by applicable law.

4.3 COMMENCEMENT AND DURATION OF SUBSCRIBERSHIP FEES.
You acknowledge that a monthly subscription fee will apply for each and every month (or portion thereof) that you subscribe to the Service. Once you subscribe, your account and payment obligations will continue until terminated as set forth herein.

19 MISCELLANEOUS.
19.1 Notice; Severability.
Where notification by Agristar is contemplated by or related to this Agreement, notice may be made by any reasonable means, including without limitation email or publication over the Service.

Where an entire provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable and cannot be so repaired, then the term shall be considered to be stricken from this Agreement as if it had not been included. In any such case, the balance of this Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its remaining terms notwithstanding such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term.

19.2 No Waiver.
Agristar may enforce or decline to enforce any or all of the terms of this Agreement in its sole discretion without waiving its rights to enforce such provisions in the future.
