  1. ACTIVATION, FEES AND BILLING
    1. Initial Service Activation and Provisioning. Prior to the activation of the Application Services set forth in Client’s initial Service Order, Client shall pay Intelligent Contacts the fees specified in the Service Order, including implementation and activation fees, and pre-paid per minute usage fees (collectively, the “Activation Fee”). Upon receipt of the Activation Fee, Intelligent Contacts will activate Client’s account and commence the provisioning process for the Application Services (the date of the initial Service Activation represents the (“Service Activation or Provisioning Date”). The initial provisioning process creates the Client’s unique domain within the Intelligent Contacts Communication Solutions, and enables the Client to login and access the Intelligent Contacts Communication Solutions, to upload and access data, and make and receive calls.
    2. Subsequent Service Orders. For subsequent Service Orders, Intelligent Contacts shall commence the provisioning process for the additional Application Services as required by such Service Orders upon receipt of the applicable Activation Fee.
    3. Fees, Client Bill Date and Billing Cycle. Client shall pay Intelligent Contacts the recurring fees for the Application Services as set forth on an applicable Service Order (“Service Fee”). Unless otherwise indicated in a Service Order or in this Agreement, Client shall pay per minute usage as it is used. The Client’s billing cycle begins on the Service Activation Date and the first day of the month shall become the day each month that the Client shall be invoiced (the “Client Bill Date”). The Client Bill Date will be the bill date for all Application Services ordered by Client pursuant to this Agreement, and partial months shall be pro-rated to the Client Bill Date. Each invoice will include all recurring monthly Service Fees for the applicable Application Services in use by Client and any additional recurring premium services for the next billing month, all usage charges incurred during the prior billing month, as detailed on Schedule C, and, if applicable, any professional services or other one-time charges for services delivered during the billing period.
    4. Monthly Minimum Commitment. Customer is obligated for Usage fees of at least the Monthly Minimum Commitment selected on Schedule A, regardless of actual Usage, for the Initial Term and subsequent Renewal Terms as defined in 4(a). Customer is obligated for all Monthly Minimum Commitment payments notwithstanding whether Customer uses the Application Services. If Customer terminates the Intelligent Contacts Master Services Agreement, other than for material breach by Intelligent Contacts, before the end of the Term, Customer will immediately pay to Intelligent Contacts the Monthly Minimum Level multiplied by the number of months remaining in the current Term. Monthly Minimum Commitment may be changed to a higher tier at any time, but may not be reduced below the current tier selected on Schedule A. 
    5. Ramp Period. Customer will have a Ramp Period beginning on the effective date of this Agreement for 30 days, where the pricing that applies will be based solely on actual Usage. During the Ramp Period, the parties will jointly procure, test, and release to production the Application Services. After the Ramp Period, the Monthly Minimum Commitment shall be in effect, with pricing based on actual Usage. 
    6. Default Rate. If Customer does not indicate a Monthly Minimum Level by initialing next to its selection on Schedule A, the default Monthly Minimum Commitment will default to the minimum commitment tier listed on Schedule A. 
    7. DID and Toll-Free Numbers. At any time Client may request standard DID or Toll-Free phone number be added to their service or ported from another carrier. Ported or provisioned phone numbers will be billed via the Intelligent Contacts Client Portal at the current listed rates.
    8. Prepaid Usage Minimum Balance. Intelligent Contacts requires that, prior to activation, Client deposit a certain amount of prepaid usage service fees (“Prepaid Usage”) as stated in the Service Order. As calls are made, the cost of each call is debited from the Prepaid Usage balance. The running balance of Prepaid Usage is viewable to the My Account section of the IC Client Portal. When the account balance reaches the minimum threshold Intelligent Contacts will attempt to auto charge the payment method on file to replenish the account balance. Client is ultimately responsible for reviewing and maintaining a sufficient Prepaid Usage balance to ensure continued use of the Application Services. In the event that Client’s Prepaid Usage balance runs out, Intelligent Contacts will suspend access to the Application Services and Client will be unable to make or receive calls. However, prior to taking such action, Intelligent Contacts shall provide Client with reasonable notice of the level of the Prepaid Usage balance at regular intervals to allow Client to replenish the account balance. Intelligent Contacts may from time to time upon notice to Client increase the Client’s required minimum Prepaid Usage balance to reflect Client’s actual usage patterns or other changes.
    9. Payment Terms. Payment terms for Service Fees and other fees due on a given invoice are “Due upon Receipt”, unless otherwise stated on the invoice. Payment of all fees (including any Service Fees and Activation Fees), whether in advance of service or for services incurred, may be made by cash, check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to Intelligent Contacts or by credit card, if expressly authorized by Intelligent Contacts in advance. Clients electing to use a credit card to pay for Intelligent Contacts services shall complete a Credit Card Authorization Form, which expressly authorizes Intelligent Contacts to charge directly the credit card account number provided by Client to pay for any and all charges legitimately incurred and invoiced under this Agreement. Client shall be responsible for all sales, value-added or similar taxes due under this Agreement. Past due balances, including past due balances resulting from returned checks or charge-backs, are subject to an interest charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is less.
    10. Refund Policy. All prepaid fees under this Agreement are non-refundable, except if Client’s account is closed in good standing, under the terms of this Agreement, with all balances paid in full, the unused balance of Prepaid Usage shall be refunded to Client.
    11. Disputed Charges and Resolution of Disputes. Client agrees to pay all undisputed charges under this Agreement without counter-claim, set-off or deduction. In the event, Client legitimately and reasonably disputes an invoiced amount, Client will provide Intelligent Contacts with written notice (via e-mail at billing@lntelligentContacts.com) of the amount in dispute and the basis for the dispute within seven (7) business days of receipt of the invoice. Intelligent Contacts agrees that it will work with Client to reasonably and expeditiously resolve the dispute. Client agrees that any undisputed amounts shall remain due and payable in accordance with the normal seven (7) day payment terms.
    12. No Waiver. Failure of Intelligent Contacts to charge Client’s payment method on file or to invoice Client in a timely manner for any amounts due under this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by Intelligent Contacts of its rights to payment for such amounts, and all outstanding amounts shall remain due and payable by Client.
