Upon registration for Hosting Services, customer must choose to pay for the Services by credit/debit card with paypal upon your receipt of an invoice. If client pays via paypal, the subscription MUST remain active for their hosting account to remain active. When customer cancels subscription with paypal, they also cancel hosting service. If client cancels early, no refunds will be given for any unused portion of service. Customer agrees that K&C Web Hosting and Design may accumulate any supplemental charges, as described in the Order Form, incurred by you in your use of the Services ("Supplemental Charges") until such charges exceed $15 and then invoice the charges to customer.

In addition, customer's failure to fully pay any fees and taxes within eight (8) days after the applicable due date will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, justifying K&C Web Hosting and Design suspension of its performance of the Services and/or termination of this Agreement. Customer is responsible for any fees associated with reinstated of Services (a reinstated fee of $25.00). Any such termination would not relieve customer from paying past due fees plus interest. In the event of collection enforcement, customer will be liable for any costs associated with such collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and collection agency fees.

3. This Agreement will be automatically renewed (the "Renewal Term") at the end of the Initial Term for the same period as the Initial Term unless you provide K&C Web Hosting and Design with notice of termination either (a) at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable.
