ACCOUNT, BILLING AND PAYMENT

7. How does 4Cloud bill me for the Services?

4Cloud will invoice you in advance for recurring and one-time charges (collectively, “Fees”). We shall issue invoices on a monthly basis unless you select a different invoicing arrangement (e.g., monthly, bi-weekly, quarterly, annually) pursuant to the terms of an applicable Service Agreement. All Fees and applicable taxes are invoiced and due by the date indicated in your invoice. In advance of the invoice date, you can log-on to the My Account Portal and access a statement of the Fees that will be due for the next invoicing period. Newly added Services or changes to your Services may result in pro-rated charges for a partial billing cycle. Service Agreements may also modify the billing terms for certain Services.

8. How can I pay my bill?

You can pay your bill online through your bank account, by cheque (through the mail) or with select credit cards. You confirm that you are an authorized user of the credit card or bank account and that it is valid and has not expired. If you are using a method of payment that is subject to processing delays, you must ensure that 4Cloud receives payments on the first day of each month, when payment is due. You must promptly advise 4Cloud if your credit card or bank account information changes by contacting us at the coordinates set out in Section 42 of these Service Terms.

9. What charges apply to late payments, rejected payments and other account processing actions?

If 4Cloud does not receive payment when due, you will be subject to a late payment charge of 1.5% per month. This late payment charge accrues on a daily basis and is calculated and compounded monthly on the outstanding amount (19.56% per year) (“Late Payment Charges”) from the date of the first invoice on which it appears until the date we receive that amount in full. You agree that we can charge any unpaid and outstanding amount, including any Late Payment Charges and taxes, on your account to your credit card, bank account or any other payment method pre-authorized by you for payment of Fees.

Not applicable to Residents of Québec: Administrative charges in the amount of $35.00 may be levied for administration or account processing activities in connection with your account, including as a result of:

● a change of any Identifier.

● collection efforts due to non-payment or having a balance over your credit limit, including unbilled usage and pending charges, fees and adjustments;

● returned or rejected payments due to non-sufficient funds (“NSF”) or any other reason; and/or

● the restoral of Service

Applicable only to Residents of Québec: Administrative charges in the amount of $35.00 may be levied for administration or account processing activities in connection with your account, including as a result of a change of any Identifier. We will not levy administrative charges due to NSF.

10. Do I need to pay any deposits for use of Services?

Yes. In some cases, 4Cloud may request payment of a deposit for Services.

Not applicable to Residents of Québec or Residents of Newfoundland:

4Cloud may request a deposit at any time and on such terms that we shall determine in our sole discretion. All such deposits shall not earn any interest. If your Service is cancelled, deposits held by 4Cloud shall be setoff against the outstanding final balance on your account.

Applicable only to Residents of Québec and Residents of Newfoundland:

4Cloud may request a deposit at any time and on such terms that we shall determine in our sole discretion. Deposits held by 4Cloud shall bear interest at the rate determined by applicable legislation or regulation, as determined from time to time, from the date we collect a security deposit (but no earlier than required under applicable legislation or regulation), until the date we return it to you. If we use all or part of the deposit to collect amounts not paid when due, we will provide you written notice. If your Service is cancelled, deposits held by 4Cloud and accrued interest on those deposits shall be setoff against the outstanding final balance on your account within 30 days of cancellation of your Services.

11. What if I dispute Fees on my invoice?

If you have any questions, disputes or discrepancies to report regarding Fees, you must do so within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Failure to notify us within this time period will constitute your acceptance of such Fees. We will investigate disputes and if, in our sole discretion, we determine that a portion of the Fees was incorrectly charged, then we will reverse the disputed portion of the Fees. You must pay the undisputed portion of the Fees in accordance with Section 8.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

12. Does 4Cloud have any policies that apply to the Services?

Yes. From time to time, 4Cloud may establish policies, rules and limits (collectively “Policies”) concerning the use of the Services and any products, content, applications or services used in conjunction with the Services.
