-
. ALTSMARK and/or its affiliated companies will issue an invoice or credit memo for any payment of Fees or refund made to or by ALTSMARK (“Invoice”). Each Invoice will be issued in electronic form and based on the country stated in your billing address and will be made available to you via your User Account and/or by e-mail.

If You provide credit card information to Us, You authorize Us to charge such credit card for all Purchased Services listed in the Subscription Form for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth in Section 10.2 (Term of Purchased User Subscriptions). Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Subscription Form.

Unless otherwise stated in the Subscription Form , invoiced charges are due on the payment date reflected on the invoice date. You are responsible for maintaining complete and accurate billing and contact information with Us.
-
Overdue Charges. If any charges are not received from You by the due date, then at Our discretion, (a) such charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 2.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid, and/or (b) We may condition future subscription renewals and Subscription Form on payment terms requiring payment in advance or periods shorter than those specified in Section 4.2 (Invoicing and Payment).
-
Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by You under this or any other agreement for Our services is 30 or more days overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts You have authorized Us to charge to Your credit card), We may, without limiting Our other rights and remedies, accelerate Your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Our services to You until such amounts are paid in full.
-
Payment Disputes. We shall not exercise Our rights under Section 6.4 (Overdue Charges) or 6.5 (Suspension of Service and Acceleration) if the applicable charges are under reasonable and good-faith dispute and You are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
-
Chargebacks. If, at any time, we record a decline, chargeback or other rejection of a charge of any payable Fees on your ALTSMARK account (“Chargeback”), this will be considered as a breach of your payment obligations hereunder, and your use of the ALTSMARK Services may be automatically disabled or terminated.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding a payment made to ALTSMARK, we encourage you to first contact our Customer Support team before filing a Chargeback or reversal of payment, in order to prevent the ALTSMARK Services from being cancelled and your User Account being blocked, and to avoid the filing of an unwarranted or erroneous Chargeback, which may result in your being liable for its applicable Fees, in addition to re-payment of all the Fees applicable to the ALTSMARK Services purchased (and charged-back) by you. We reserve our right to dispute any Chargeback received, including by providing the relevant credit card company or financial institution with any information and documentation proving that the User responsible for such Chargeback did in fact authorize the transaction and make use of the services rendered thereafter.
-
Unless otherwise stated, Our fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, " Taxes"). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Your purchases hereunder. If We have the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to, and paid by, You unless You provide Us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, We are solely responsible for taxes assessable against Us based on Our income, property and employees.
