Subscription fees are accounted on a month to month basis and service may be cancelled at any time. By request, fees can be refunded for any future month that service is not provided. A month where service is or has been provided is non-refundable. A Twenty-Five Dollar ($25.00) service charge will be assessed on all returned checks, regardless of the reason the check was returned. A Fifteen Dollar ($15.00) fee will be assessed if User's credit card company denies payment because of an invalid credit card number, the account has insufficient funds, or User's account is canceled.

4.2 Invoices. User understands and acknowledges that Americart will send invoices via e-mail only. Accordingly, User shall be solely responsible for maintaining a working e-mail address and notifying Americart in the event there is any change of User's e-mail address. User's inability to receive e-mails will not relieve User's responsibility to pay Americart the applicable fees when due.

4.3 Late Payments. If User fails to pay any fees by the due date set forth on the applicable invoice, Americart will have the right to: (a) assess interest charges thereon in an amount equal to the lower of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum amount allowable under applicable law; and/or (b) suspend access to any or all of the Service and/or performance of the Service provided by Americart hereunder and/or terminate this Agreement. Any such suspension or termination will not relieve User from paying any outstanding fees payable to Americart plus interest and late charges. User will be responsible for any costs associated with collecting such fees including, without limitation, legal costs, attorneys' fees, court costs and collection agency fees. Americart may, at its sole discretion, refuse to reinstate User's Account if suspended or charge User a fee of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) to reinstate the suspended User's Account.
