Audiora
Policies
Monthly payment
for service is by credit card (Visa, MC, Discover, American Express)
or bank draft only. Payment is collected on the first working day
of each month. Any change to account information must be received
at TecInfo prior to noon on the last business day of the month to
effect charges for the next month. Business and Residential customers
that pay by check, cash, or money order must have their payment here
by the 10th of the month in which they have been billed. If we have
not received anything by the 10th, a late notice will go out. If
payment has not been received by the 15th, it will be deactivated.
Quarterly, semi-annual, and annual prepayments are also subject to
this policy..
Billing
Policy for Credit Card and Bank Draft Customers:
•Customers are
responsible for ensuring that credit card charge or bank draft
collection is successful.
•Any account whose credit card charge is rejected or whose bank draft is returned
will be deactivated upon notification of non-collection.
•Effective March 1, 2002, these accounts will be charged a $20.00 reactivation
fee and there will be no credit for time during the month that the account was
not active.
•Upon reactivation, payment must be made by check, cash or money order
and the
$20.00 reactivation fee must be paid.

•Customer
is responsible for notifying Audiora of any bank or credit card account
changes including new expiration dates. Audiora must receive changes
before noon on the last weekday of a month for it to effect the next
month's collection.
•Initial payment for a new account is collected within 2 weeks of account
setup and will include activation fee (if applicable) and prorate of
first month on-line.
•A payment receipt is e-mailed for customer's records.
Credit card customers whose card declines payment will not be e-mailed
a receipt.
•Bank draft customers receive an e-mailed receipt, but it is not an
indication of successful collection of charges. Bank will notify both
Audiora and the customer if the draft is not paid.
•Bank draft customers' receipts will include their bank account number.
See below for more information.
•Deactivation of accounts for non-payment whether because of an expired
credit card number, bank merger (change of routing numbers), overdraft
or over limit will now be handled by the billing software, with little
or no review by our billing staff.
Requests to Deactivate Account:
Final month
on-line is not prorated. Customer must request a "last day of
the month" deactivation date to get full benefit of services.
Request for deactivation must be received in writing before noon
on the last weekday of the month to prevent collection of the next
month's charges. It is customer's responsibility to verify that the
written request has been received. Requested deactivations occur
at noon on the last business day of the month to prevent billing
in next calendar month.
Activation
fee is non-refundable.

Information about Requests for Account Deactivation:
•We would like to point out to all of our customers, that resources are provided
and expenses incurred by Audiora whether or not your account has activity. In
other words, unless you notify us prior to noon on the last business day of the
month, Audiora will make sure Web accounts and e-mail are available for you for
the next month. These resources are provided based on the number of customers
we expect to use our services. This is the reason WE CANNOT PRO RATE THE LAST
MONTH'S CHARGE. It is also the reason we HAVE TO COLLECT FROM ACCOUNTS THAT DO
NOT NOTIFY US THAT THEY WISH TO DISCONTINUE OUR SERVICES. If Audiora is not notified
that the customer wishes to discontinue the service, and if the billed amount
is not paid by the 15th of the month, the account will be deactivated, and the
account will be turned over for collection for the month that services were available.
YOU MUST NOTIFY AUDIORA prior to noon on the last business day of the month if
you do not wish to continue service with us. All written requests can be faxed
to 662-686-0036, emailed to support@audiora.net , or mailed to 601 N. Deer Creek
Dr. E., Leland, MS 38756.
Information about Audiora Receipts E-mailed to Bank Draft Users:
•On
June 1, 1999, Audiora changed billing systems to better serve
its users. One obvious change is the monthly notice for bank
draft users has changed from an invoice to a receipt. Bank
draft customers' receipts include their bank account number.
Audiora understands that this may make some users uncomfortable.
We contacted the vendor, who informed us that there is no way
to exclude the bank account number without excluding the details
of the transaction.

as well.
