for all charges submitted prior to the termination of your account
whether by you or by Digis.
3.2 It is possible the DIA access number you program your modem
to use to connect to DIA may be a telephone number that results
in additional or long distance charges being billed to you by a
third party, even if such number was presented by DIA as an appropriate
access number for your area.
You are solely responsible for determining whether the DIA access
number you use is subject to any additional charges. It is your
responsibility to contact your telephone company to determine whether
the access number you select is subject to additional charges.
You agree to pay any charges you incur by using a long distance
telephone number to connect to DIA, including those that may be
billed to you by a third party. Digis will not reimburse you for
any charges incurred by you as a result of selecting an access
number that is subject to additional and/or long distance charges.

you may incur when connecting to DIA from another country.

are non-refundable. You agree to pay for all optional and premium
services you elect to receive which are not included in your periodic
charges or prepaid plan charges. You agree to pay all amounts due
upon demand by Digis. Your non-termination or continued use of
DIA reaffirms that Digis is authorized to charge your account as
specified by you (your 'Designated Account'). You agree that Digis
may (at its option) accumulate charges incurred and submit them
as one or more aggregate charges and that Digis may delay obtaining
authorization from your Designated Account issuer until submission
of the accumulated charge(s). This means that accumulated charges
may appear on the statement you receive from your designated account
issuer. You agree that if you want to see the components of accumulated
charges, you will review your online statement. You agree to pay
all costs incurred in the collection of any delinquent fees due
under this Agreement or the enforcement of this Agreement, including
attorney fees.
3.5 You agree that Digis may submit charges or throttle speeds
for your use of connect time or bandwidth usage in excess of that
provided as part of the DIA subscription plan you select without
further authorization from you until you provide prior notice that
you are terminating this authorization or wish to change your DIA
subscription plan. Such notice will not affect charges submitted
before Digis reasonably could act on your notice.
3.6 You must promptly notify Digis of changes to: (a) the account
number, status, or expiration date of your Designated Account;
(b) your billing address; (c) telephone number; and, (d) last name
changes. You remain responsible for all charges to your account
in the event your designated account is changed.

SUBSCRIPTION. YOU MAY ALSO INCUR CHARGES LEVIED BY YOUR LOCAL OR
LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE COMPANY TO CONNECT TO DIA FOR WHICH YOU

FOR ALL RESULTING CHARGES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONNECT
TIME CHARGES AND LOCAL OR LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE CHARGES.
3.8 Digis will use reasonable commercial efforts to provide you
with an electronic or online statement of charges; however, any
failure of Digis to provide you with an electronic or online statement
does not affect your responsibility to pay any incurred charges.
Unless you notify Digis of any errors or discrepancies in any billing
within thirty (30) days after they first appear on your Designated
Account statement, they will be deemed accepted by you for all
purposes, including resolution of inquiries made by the issuer
of your Designated Account. WITHOUT LIMITING ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS
AGREEMENT, YOU RELEASE DIGIS FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY AND CLAIMS
OF LOSS RESULTING FROM ANY ERROR OR DISCREPANCY THAT IS NOT REPORTED
TO DIGIS WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF ITS PUBLICATION DATE.
3.9 Without limiting anything else in this Agreement, Digis reserves
the right to suspend or terminate your DIA subscription without
notice upon rejection of any charges or if your account issuer
(or its agent or affiliate) seeks return of payments previously
made to Digis when Digis in good faith believes you are liable
for the charge. Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu
of any other legal rights or remedies available to Digis. You agree
to pay a late charge to Digis on all amounts due but not timely
paid. All delinquent accounts will be charged interest at the rate
of 1.5% per month (18% per annum)
on the total amount due but not paid; but if such rate is in excess
of any allowable rate, the late charge will be the maximum rate
allowed by law. The late charge will be imposed until all of the
overdue amounts are paid. Digis reserves the right to refer your
DIA account to a third party for collection in the event of default.
In the event any balance is not paid as agreed and is sent to collections,
the undersigned agrees to pay a collection fee equal to 30% of
the unpaid balance. In the event legal action becomes necessary
to collect the unpaid balance, the undersigned further agrees to
pay all reasonable attorneys fees and court costs.
