Additionally, you may contact AV’s Customer Service Representatives at 1 (866) 470 1473 if you have any questions about your interstate or international rates. AV may decrease prices without providing advance notice. For the following types of calls, we will provide you the prices and charges if you request this information at the time you make a call: AV Prepaid Calling Card calls, Rechargeable PIN and Soft Phone.
You must pay all bills or invoices on time (on or before the due date) and in U.S. money. We do not waive our right to collect the full amount due if you pay late or you pay part of the bill, even if you write the words "Paid in Full" (or similar words) on any correspondence to us. If you make any late payments, and we bill you for the Services, we will charge you a late fee of 1.5%, which we apply to that period’s charges and any outstanding charges and late payment charges that remain unpaid at the time of the next bill. If the state law where you receive the Services requires a lower rate, we will apply that rate. If your check, bank draft or electronic funds transfer is returned for insufficient funds, we will bill you an additional $35.00. If the state law where you receive the Services requires a lower amount, we will charge you that amount. When payment is made by credit card, payment will also be subject to terms and conditions required by the credit card issuer.
Charges accrue through a full billing period. We may prorate or adjust a bill if the billing period covers less than or more than a full month. (For this purpose, each month is considered to have 30 days.) To determine the charge for each call, we round up to the next full billing increment applicable. We will determine the format of the bill and the billing period, and we may change both the bill format and the billing period from time to time. You are responsible for preventing the unauthorized use of the Services, and you are responsible for payment for any such unauthorized use.
You must pay all taxes, fees, surcharges and other assessments that we bill you for the Services, unless you can show documentation satisfactory to us that you are exempt. Taxes and surcharges will be in the amounts that federal, state and local authorities require and/or permit us to bill you. We will not provide advance notice of changes to taxes and surcharges, except as required by applicable law.
You give us permission to obtain your credit information from consumer credit reporting agencies at any time when obtaining postpaid telecommunication or internet services. If we bill you for the Services and we determine that you may be a credit risk for (1) unsatisfactory credit rating; (2) insufficient credit history; (3) fraudulent or abusive use of any AV services or services provided by a similarly situated entity within the last five years, we may require a deposit or an advance payment as permitted by state law to ensure payment for the Services. The amount of the deposit will be no more than any estimated onetime charges required for the Services, plus three months of the estimated average per-minute charges and/or monthly fees for the Services. We will pay simple interest at the annual rate of .009% on the deposit, subject to the state law where you receive the Services. If you fail to pay for the Services when due, we may use the deposit without giving notice to you. If you pay undisputed bills by the due date for twelve consecutive billing months, we will credit the deposit to your account. If a credit balance remains on your account, we will refund or credit that amount.
If we bill you for the Services, we may set a credit limit based on your payment history or your credit score from consumer credit reporting agencies. You may contact AV’s customer service representatives for information on your credit limit. If you exceed your credit limit, we will restrict your access to the Services, including direct-dialed, operator-assisted, and calls requiring a 900 or 976 prefix. Access to emergency services will not be affected by this restriction. If you fail to make timely payments, we may also lower your credit limit.
You agree that America Voice, LLC shall not be responsible for any third-party claims against us that arise from your use of the services. Further, you agree to reimburse AV for all costs and expenses related to the defense of any such claims, including attorneys’ fees, unless such claims are based on our willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provisionwill continue to apply after the agreement ends.
This section describes our responsibility for any claims you make for damages caused by the failure of the services, or any other claims in connection with the services or this agreement. If our negligence causes damage to person or property, we will be liable for no more than the amount of direct damages to the person or property. For any other claim, we will not be liable for more than the amount of our charges for the services during the affected period. For all claims, we will not be liable for indirect or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits or revenue or increased costs of operation. We also will not be liable for punitive, reliance or special damages. These limitations apply even if the damages were foreseeable or we were told they were possible, and they apply whether the claim is based on contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal or equitable theory. We will not be liable for any damages if services are interrupted, or there is a problem with the interconnection of our services with the services or equipment of some other party. This section will continue to apply after the agreement ends.
Except as this agreement expressly states, we make no express warranty regarding the services and disclaim any implied warranty, including any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
