Effective 9/15/2022

changes are in bolded green.

CyberStrategies, Inc. provides its Internet and Engineering services, to users who pay a monthly service fee to subscribe to hosting services, pay for software engineering services, or both. By establishing an account or using the Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and to use the Services in compliance with this Agreement, our Acceptable Use Policy and any other applicable policies/agreements.  In addition to these direct clients, certain clients may re-sell our services, in accordance with a Professional Web Developer (PWDA) Agreement to third parties.  These PWDAs are obliged to ensure that their clients comply with this Service Agreement and its successors.  Additionally, PWDAs should provide contact information for a point of contact (name, phone and email address) for each of their clients that use our services.  CyberStrategies, Inc. will use this information only to verify that the person requesting support is in fact authorized to do so and to alert all our clients, direct and indirect, of critical events.   Failure to provide this information may prevent CyberStrategies, Inc. personnel from providing emergency support to your clients.

In return, CyberStrategies, Inc. will make a best effort to provide the services agreed to. At no time will CyberStrategies, Inc. be liable for the activities of a third party.

1. Invoicing: 
   
   1. CyberStrategies, Inc.  will provide invoices either electronically or via the billing information provided by the client (see payment section) including the terms of payment.  Regularly scheduled services (e.g., basic hosting) will be invoiced at least 15 days prior to the commencement of the service.   A client is obligated to contact CyberStrategies, Inc. if this invoice is not received. 
   2. Overages and other unanticipated charges will be invoiced during the month after they were incurred.
   3. Fixed price contract work will be invoiced at the beginning of the contract, but payment will be expect as agreed.  Work outside of scope will be invoiced at either the standard rates (see below) or as agreed in advance.  Invoices and payments will be issued either periodically or at the end of the work depending on the length of the project and the amount of work involved.
   4. Hosted clients can log into the Site Management System here and select their domain to determine the status of any overage or other work in progress as well as the service we are contracted to provide.  Non-hosted clients should contact CyberStrategies, Inc. to obtain access to WOMS. 
2. Payment:
   1. Clients must (i) provide CyberStrategies, Inc. with accurate and complete billing information including legal name, address, telephone number, and billing contact, and (ii) report to CyberStrategies, Inc. all changes to this information before the next billing event. Clients are responsible for any charges to their account.Clients having questions regarding charges to an account should contact accounting at (909) 920-9154, ext. 103. All charges are considered valid unless disputed in writing within sixty (60) days of the billing date. Adjustments will not be made for charges that are more than 60 days old.
   2. Charges are invoiced by mail or billed to clients' credit cards as applicable, each month for the basic service and any additional usage or services. CyberStrategies, Inc. is not responsible for any charges or expenses (e.g for overdrawn accounts, exceeding credit card limits, etc.) resulting from charges billed by CyberStrategies, Inc.. Clients will be billed for extra bandwidth, disk space and support. Clients must pay by check unless they make arrangements, in advance, CyberStrategies, Inc. to pay by credit card.  Click here to securely enter revised/supplemental payment information if you want us to bill your card.  Click here if  you want to pay by PayPal (note: we are not responsible for any errors PayPal makes in either processing your payment or notifying us that you have).
   3. If a client is billed periodically by credit/debit card, and the card is replaced for any reason (e.g., the old card expired, it was lost), the client must call the new information into the accounting department within two business days. Please note: even if the card number is the same, if the expiration date we have on file is no longer valid, the card will be declined.
   4. A non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee will be assessed if the client's card is declined twice.  The amount of the original invoice and NSF fee will be due before the next billing cycle. If a client's card is declined again within six months of the first NSF, you will be ineligible for credit card billing, and you will have to pay the additional check transaction fee of $5 per billing cycle. If you contact us in advance of the periodic billing date (currently the 1st of each month) we may waive some of these fees and instead charge you our costs (currently 50¢ per declination plus a $10 handling fee).  NSF charges will be waived in cases of theft/misplacement, provided we are notified within two business days of the loss.
   5. If a client converts their payment option from the credit card to the check and then are later approved to return to credit card billing, there may be a $50 re-installment fee.
   6. If paying by check, payments are due in full on the first day of the month in which the hosting services are provided, or by the due date specified on the current invoice. A late fee of $50 or 5% of the unpaid balance,  whichever is greater, will be assessed for any unpaid amount. Payments will always be applied to the earliest non-disputed amount still owed, even if this results in the latest invoice incurring a penalty; unless a specific invoice is specified. If a specific invoice is specified it will be applied to that invoice which may cause a late fee for the prior unpaid invoice(s). For web site clients, any late unpaid invoices greater than 45 days may result in the web site being restricted/disabled by CyberStrategies, Inc. until the past due account, late fees, and a re-activation fee of $50 is paid in full. Such interruption does not relieve you from the obligation to pay the monthly charge. Only a written request to terminate your service and payment of all charges relieves you of your obligation to pay the monthly account charge. If you default you will be assessed a one time administrative fee of 5% of the unpaid balance or $100 whichever is greater. Further, if you default any late fees which we waived based on promise of payment will become due. Delinquent accounts may be suspended or canceled at CyberStrategies, Inc.'s sole discretion; however, charges will continue to accrue until the account is canceled. In the event of cancellation due to non-payment, all rights to any software developed/provided by CyberStrategies, Inc. will revert to CyberStrategies, Inc..
   7. If you pay for Services through a prepayment plan, monthly billing described above shall only apply to the charges not paid for through the prepayment plan.
      Note: discounted charges for paying by quarter or year are no longer offered to new clients.
