- Order acceptance, Payment
A: All orders are subject to acceptance by Eoncity. An order will be deemed accepted by Eoncity when written confirmation of the orders is sent to customer. Eoncity may refuse to accept any order, or delay acceptance pending fulfillment of conditions Eoncity may choose to impose. Such refusal or such conditions may not be unreasonable, however, and Eoncity agrees to provide Client with reasonable notice via Email or fax of any intent to delay or decline the acceptance of any order.
B: Payment and Terms: Payment shall be made in US dollars to Eoncity into the account designed by Eoncity, or as may otherwise be agreed in writing by the parties. Payments are due upon account activation and future renewal. Should payment in full of any invoice not be received by Eoncity within ten (10) days from the sent date on invoices sent to client, Eoncity may impose a dept service charge amounting to five percent (5%) of the overdue balance for each month, or fraction thereof, the overdue amount remains unpaid, from the original invoice date. In the event that any amount remains unpaid thirty (30) days after presentation of invoice, Eoncity may discontinue, withhold, or suspend services to clients and/or its customer(s) to whom such unpaid amounts relate. Failure to pay will result in termination of services and confiscation of all related content on our servers, distribution and reproduction rights, and domain name properties. Confiscated material and domain names may be immediately sold to seek reimbursement for unpaid services.
- PARTIAL PAYMENT OPTIONS
With preapproval from Eoncity, in some circumstances the client may be allowed to make extended payments toward invoices, but a payment schedule must be arranged with Eoncity before the first payment is due. Parts of invoices cannot be selectively paid without preapproval. Any disputed charge or inaccurate charge must be brought to Eoncity's attention in writing before the invoice is due. If a corrected invoice is approved, a new invoice will be given so an entire invoice is always being paid. Any unapproved partial payment is considered an incomplete payment and a violation of the services agreement. Services will then be discontinued and materials will be withheld and late fees will be applied.
- OVERPAYMENTS AND CREDIT
Any overpayments or unused portions of services paid for by the client will be prorated and returned to the client in the form of credit toward any other services Eoncity offers. No cash or check refunds are provided. All requests for service credits must provided in writing. All service credits are subject to early cancelation fees if applicable, and all service credits expire in 60 days from the time they are issued.

In such case the customer hereby must waive in writing prior to acquisition of said domain name, any and all claims which it may have against Eoncity for any loss, damage, claim or expense arising out of, or in relation to, the registration of such Domain Name in any on-line or off-line network directories, membership lists or registration lists, or the release of the Domain Name from such directories or lists following the termination of services by Eoncity for any reason.
