Payment by check will only be allowed for payment periods 12 months. Service for check paying customers will only be activated after your check clears bank processing.

Monthly Recurring Charges
You must pay for your service by the first day of each billing cycle. Billing cycles are based on when you initially signed up for service. For instance, if you started service on the 15th of the month, your billing due date will be on the 15th each month thereafter.

When paying by credit card, we will automatically charge your credit card on the first day of your billing cycle which may be 1 or 12 months. Your account will be suspended if three attempts to charge the card are declined. FASTdot will notify you by email if your account is suspended, so that you may provide us with another credit card.

You will not receive a refund for time that your account resided on our servers, unless your cancellation is made within the first 7 days of the account sign-up.

Refunds will only be given for full, pre-paid yearly services within the first 7 days of your subscription .

Setup fees, when applicable, are non-refundable. You are obligated to pay for your account even if you do not use it. Because we have provided you with usernames, passwords, DNS entries, and an IP address, you have the ability to use your account. The fact that you do not do so is not relevant - you are still obligated to pay for the account. Even an unused account uses valuable system resources that could be used for other customers. If you have a past-due balance on your account at the time the account is closed (either by your request or due to non-payment), the remaining balance must be paid within 30 days of when the account is closed. If we do not receive payment on the remaining balance in that time, we will begin efforts to collect any fees owed.
We apply a $50.00 collection fee to cover our costs in attempting to collect your debt. If our internal collection efforts fail, we reserve the right to turn the account over to a 3rd-party (either collections agency or attorney) for further action. We also reserve the right to report your unpaid balance to credit reporting agencies as well as ISP/web host information services
You may also cancel your account using fax or regular mail.
Any accounts cancelled must include:

· Account name
· The primary contact's valid signature
· Reason for cancellation
· Last four digits of the credit card or Checking account number on file

The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it is established to the time that cancellation has been confirmed by FASTdot.

Transferring your domain away from FASTdot does not mean your account is automatically cancelled. You must notify FASTdot to cancel your account, using one of the methods listed above.
