If I have given
my credit card number to Appalachian Technologies, I understand
that charges will be billed to my credit card each month for
the basic service and any additional usage. I authorize this
automatic billing by Appalachian Technologies. Appalachian Technologies'
monthly billing cycle is based on my sign-up date. The basic
service fee for each month is due and will be charged according
to my personal billing cycle along with additional usage fees
(if applicable) from the previous billing cycle. I understand
that all charges are considered valid unless disputed in writing
within thirty (30) days of invoice date. I understand and agree
that Appalachian Technologies shall not be responsible for any
charges or expenses that I may incur resulting from overdrawing
my bank account or exceeding my credit card limit as a result
of an automatic charge generated by Appalachian Technologies
pursuant to this authority.
-
If I have elected
to pay for my basic service through a prepayment plan, I understand
that the automatic billing described in paragraph (a) shall
only apply to the services, charges, and expenses not paid for
through the prepayment plan.

My
Obligation: I understand
that I am responsible for determining whether an Appalachian Technologies'
phone number is within my local calling area. I understand and agree
that I am responsible for any long distance charges I may incur
in connecting to Appalachian Technologies. If I am using one of
Appalachian Technologies' unlimited plans, I agree that I will not
provide any public information services over this connection. Likewise,
I agree not to use any automatic method to avoid inactivity disconnect
and will keep the connection open only when I am actively using
it. I understand that I may cancel my account at any time effective
the end of that billing cycle. If I am not satisfied and wish to
cancel my account within thirty (30) days of my account's activation
date, I may do so and receive a full refund of all monies paid.
I understand that Appalachian Technologies may change its prices
from time to time, and that I will be provided with a fifteen (15)
days' written or electronic mail notice of any such changes.
