Section 1: Payments and Charges
Payment for the Service will be due upon the processing of the order and may include a Deposit amount equal to 50% of all One Time Charges, which may include Hardware,
Software, installation and Setup Fees. This Deposit will be due prior to the Order being processed. The Service Start Date is the date Services have been provisioned and are available for the Customers use.

On subsequent monthly intervals after the Service Start Date, the Customer will be charged the ongoing monthly charges, the cost of any overflow long distance used during the
previous month, the monthly rental for any hardware being rented, not already included in the Service, and for any international calls not included in the calling plan. Included in the calling plans are calls to the Continental U.S., AK, CA and Hl. Once the allotted long distance minutes are used, each long distance call will charged at $.06 per minute. Minutes are pooled across all lines in the Service (number of lines x allotted minutes = total pool of long distance). Each line has unlimited local calling, it is the
Customer's responsibility to know if all calls are considered local by the local carrier as calls with a metro area may be considered toll call. Such local long distance calls would be charged against the available pool of long distance minutes. Unlimited Long Distance plans are capped at 250,000 minutes per account. Accounts that exceed this amount may be charged the overage rate of $.06 per minute for every minute over 250,000 minutes in a monthly billing cycle.

Continued use of the Service following notice of the price changes will constitute the Customer's consent to such
changes.


Section 3: Account Balance

If the Customer chooses to pay for the Service by credit card or ACH direct payment, all charges will be automatically deducted following the generation of any invoice. It is the Customer's responsibility to maintain sufficient balance on the provided credit card or bank account to allow for charges for the Services. If the Customer chooses to pay for the Service by check, the Customer is responsible for immediate payment of all invoices (Net 20). To pay by check, an initial deposit is required equal to the monthly rental/service fee on the account. Returned checks will result in a $35 fee applied to the Customer's account balance. Any Customer disputes of the amounts invoiced or charged must be submitted in writing to Touch Base Telecom Inc within sixty (60) days of the date of the disputed charges and, if not
so disputed, the Customer waives any objection and further recourse with respect to such charges. The Customer understands and agrees that awaiting any pending credit(s) to the Customer's account is not sufficient cause to withhold payment for
invoices. A late fee of 1.5% per month will be applied to any unpaid account balance.
