The User is responsible for reviewing the pricing and remaining aware of the fees charged by NIS.
Under "Volume Plans", Users are charged a monthly fee for access to the Services, data storage, support and sending up to the specified maximum number of emails per month as defined in the plans. Such monthly charge will be made each month for a minimum of six (6) months ("Initial Period") from the date of sign-up to the Volume Plan.

The User may upgrade their plan at any time, including during the Initial Period or before the expiry of their annual plan, by notifying NIS in writing.

In the event of a plan change during the month that results in the User selecting a plan that increases the number of emails available to the User, the User is charged the difference between the old plan monthly fee and the new plan monthly fee upon notice from the User. The number of emails included in the Volume Plan increases immediately to those under the new Volume Plan.
Under the "Pay as You Go Plan", Users are charged for emails sent on a per campaign basis. The rate card determines the charge per email in effect at the time the campaign is run. The User may cancel this account at any time.
Payment for Services will be made by credit cards accepted by NIS. User hereby authorizes NIS to charge the User's credit card for services either on a per-event basis or on a regular once-per-month basis until terminated by a notice in writing. In The event that Charges for any fees are denied by the credit card then User acknowledges that the fees will be paid via check, wire transfer or by other credit card.

Volume Plans may be downgraded at any time following the expiration of the Initial Period.
In the event that the User fails to pay for Services, in accordance with the User plan, NIS reserves the right to suspend or terminate, with notice as set forth in Section 12, access to the User's account and all related data and remove all the User data permanently form their servers. |
