Section 3: Billing and Payment Questions
|
What are the set-up costs for a Virtual Server and when do they begin?
Virtual Server A and B each have a $75 setup fee. When paying by credit
card, the setup fee will automatically be charged to your card when the
Server is first ordered. When paying by check, order processing begins
upon receipt of the setup fee and a deposit equivalent to the cost of
one month of service.
|
When are the monthly charges billed?
All billings will be made at the first of the month. Prices are subject to
change in the future, but are guaranteed through your paid billing period.
|
How do I pay for my Virtual Server?
GraphoNet STRONGLY recommends that you pay for your Virtual Server with a
credit card. Payment with a credit card will ensure that your account is
not accidentally deactivated due to lost mail or other problems. Please
update GraphoNet with your credit card information if you receive a new
credit card number and/or expiration date. Problems may arise with your
account if your card expires. There is a reactivation charge of $25 for
accounts deactivated because of non-payment. Accounts paid by credit card
are charged monthly. GraphoNet accepts MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and
American Express and Eurocard.
For accounts paying by check, a $50 setup fee and an equivalent one-month
service deposit must be received at our office before the order will be
processed. All invoices are e-mailed monthly at the beginning of the
payment period. Payments are due no later than 10 days from the date of
the invoice at the beginning of the billing period. All accounts overdue
30 days or more will be deactivated until payment is received. There is
a $25 reactivation charge for accounts deactivated because of non-payment.

How do international customers pay for a Virtual Server?
For international orders, you may want to pay for your Virtual Server
using your credit card.
|
How do I update my billing information?
You can submit billing information changes to GraphoNet by email. Please
include your Accout ID (which you will be given when you order your
first Virtual Server) when submitting any billing changes). You may
also fax your request to 972-4-8346188 ATTN: GraphoNet Billing Department.
|
What are GraphoNet's payment schedule and terms?
You will be invoiced at the first of every month, at which time you will receive ten
days before a check is due to GraphoNet or your credit card will be charged.
For those credit cards that are not cleared on the 10th of the month, a
second billing will take place on the 20th of the month. If payment has
not been received within 30 days of an invoice, the account will be
disabled until we are notified by you.
|
When can I qualify for a discount?
GraphoNet rewards Resellers for help in building its business. Resellers
who have sold five or more accounts will receive a 30 percent discount
off their monthly Server fees (not including set-up fees). Resellers
who sell 20 accounts or more will receive a 50 percent discount off their
monthly server fees (discount does not apply to set-up fees).
|
Who is responsible for collecting Reseller payments from their clients?
Resellers of GraphoNet are responsible for collecting payments from their
own customers. Resellers are in turn responsible for payment directly to
GraphoNet for the full amount of their monthly bill.
|
How many credit card numbers may I use?
Only one credit card number per customer/Reseller may be used to charge
for services rendered by GraphoNet. A Reseller's credit card must cover
the entire cost of all accounts.
|
What if I cancel my account?
The setup fee for a Virtual Server is non-refundable. If a customer
cancels within three days of placing an order, there will be no other
charges besides the set-up fee. After that time, the applicable monthly
fees will be charged.
|
What if I want to upgrade or downgrade to another server type?
There is no charge to upgrade your server type; however, there is a charge of $50 to
downgrade your server type.
