A. Payment of fees

1.  Current monthly and set-up fees for CNG Internet services can be found on the CNG Internet web site found at http://www.cnginternet.com. CNG Internet will publish an online notice of fee increases at least 30 days before such increases take effect.

2.  CNG Internet services are offered on a pre-pay basis. Payment for a minimum of one month of services must be received prior to the proceeding month's start date. The only exception to this rule is in the first month of services to an account. Payment for the first month must be received by the end of the first 30 days of service to the account. Accounts that do not abide to the payment terms set forth herein are subject to suspension and/or account termination. You acknowledge responsibility that, even if your account is terminated, you will be held liable to for any balance owed on the account.

3.  Acceptable means of payment are:

Check Users:

On or about the fifteen of each month, an invoice will be sent, via e-mail or US postal services* to users who are paying by checks. If invoice is not received, user is responsible to obtain an invoice and make payment by the due date. If the check is not honored by the bank, a $25 penalty charge will be added to the account.

(*Invoice by postal services can be obtained upon request and is for company accounts only.)

2. Credit Card Users:

   Members using credit cards for billing will be billed automatically as per the agreed upon charges. Recurring monthly charges will be billed on or about the first of each month. If credit card can not be processed due to credit card declined, call center, invalid card, etc., a one dollar charge will be added to the total balance per transaction. Failure to inform CNG Internet of any credit card problem may result in account suspension or cancellation.

   CNG Internet is not responsible for any telephone company charges (voice or data) as a result of using CNG’s systems or customer services.

Payment for a CNG Internet account or service by fraudulent means will result in immediate and permanent termination of the account, and possible criminal penalties.

Inquiries should be directed to CNG Internet's billing department (Services@CNGInternet.com), and should include all available information about the suspected error.

8.  If you have elected to have CNG Internet make automatic payments against your credit card, and your credit card expires, CNG Internet, in its discretion, may either assume that your card has been renewed for one year, or require that you furnish updated credit card information, including the new expiration date and any other information needed to process your account payments. If CNG Internet is unable to obtain payment from your credit card bank because you have not renewed your card, because your credit card information has become outdated, or because you have not provided new information to CNG Internet when requested, CNG Internet may consider your account to be delinquent by more than one accounting cycle and suspend, archive or purge your account.
