Under our Service plans, you will be subject to charges from the time a call you are making or receiving is answered until the time it is disconnected (in other words, we charge you for conversation minutes).

5. PAYMENT.

Manner of Payment. You must make all payments to us by credit or debit card (“Credit/Debit Card”) issued by a company acceptable to us, and you hereby authorize us to charge your credit/debit card account for all monies you owe us under the agreement. You will at all times keep on record with VIRFON a current valid Credit/Debit Card number from an acceptable issuer with your full name, billing address, expiration date and all other information needed by VIRFON to charge your Credit/Debit Card account for the amounts payable to VIRFON under this Agreement. You agree to keep all such information current and accurate and shall promptly notify VIRFON of all expirations and replacement cards and other changes. If any payment is declined, reversed, or otherwise not honored by your Credit/Debit Card company, VIRFON may suspend your Service or terminate this Agreement, but you will remain liable to VIRFON for all payments that would otherwise come due through the end of the term of this Agreement.
Activation Fee. Prior to activation of your account, we will charge your Credit/Debit Card the Activation Fee provided in the Service Order. The Activation Fee covers set up, shipping and handling, and any applicable taxes and surcharges.
Traditional Plan. Except for the activation fee, we will bill you monthly for the Service you utilize. However, we may charge your credit/debit card for all outstanding charges any time you owe us more than $90.00. For more detailed information on our Plans, visit www.virfon.com/plans.
Expendable Balance Plan. As an alternative to the traditional plan you may select one of our Expendable Balance Plans. Here is how the Expendable Balance works. Upon the date we activate your Service, we will charge your Credit/Debit Card the amount of the Expendable Balance you selected. So, for example, if you selected the $40 Plan, we will charge your Credit/Debit Card account $40, and your Expendable Balance Account is $40. We will thereafter subtract the amount of Service, at the applicable rates, you utilize from your Expendable Balance Account each billing cycle. Once your Expendable Balance Account drops below $2.00, we will charge your Credit/Debit Card the full amount of the Expendable Balance you selected. We will carry any unused amount of your Expendable Balance Account over to the next billing cycle. Upon termination of the Agreement, we will subtract any charges or fees you owe us from your Expendable Balance Account and refund the balance to you. You may, not more than once per billing cycle, select a different Expendable Balance Plan by giving us notice of which plan you would like to switch to. We will make the change effective for the next billing cycle after we receive your notice. If you switch to a higher expandable Balance Account, we will charge your Credit/Debit Account for the additional amount owed upon the first day of the billing cycle following notice. For more detailed information on our Plans, visit www.virfon.com/plans.
Special Features. You may select none, all or some of the special features (“Special Features”) described in the Service Order. We will charge your Credit/Debit Card monthly on the first day of each billing cycle, at our standard rates, as they may change from time to time, for the Special Features you choose. If any Credit/Debit Card charges for Special Features is rejected for any reason by your Credit/Debit Card company, we will continue to provide you Special Features for ten (10) days after the payment due date, provided we are able to charge your Expendable Balance Account for the full amount owed. if your expendable balance account is insufficient, we will immediately discontinue providing you special features. You may reactivate your Special Features by making full payment for any delinquencies within 40 days after the due date. We will charge you a $10.00 reactivation fee if the Special Features are suspended and you later reactivate them as provided herein. If we terminate the agreement under this section, we may, at our sole option, charge you the full amount of your remaining expendable balance account as an administrative fee.
