By the Account Activation Date of each month, Global Office Services, LLC shall either:
(1) debit the client’s credit card (when such information has been provided by the client); or
(2) deliver, by e-mail or regular mail, an invoice in accordance with the applicable Service Fees for services rendered for the current month. When an invoice is delivered to the client, payment shall be remitted to Global Office Services, LLC, by no later than the specified payment due date. Global Office Services, LLC shall be entitled to immediately terminate this agreement for the client’s failure to make timely payments. You will be provided with an invoice on a monthly basis. All credit cards are billed automatically on a monthly basis. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that they have sufficient credit to cover this transaction. In the event that there is insufficient credit, we will send an e-mail notification, at which point we will need to be provided with another credit card account number within 24 hours. If we do not receive a response within 24 hours, the account, and all accounts under that account plan, will be suspended.
Service Fees
Certain services carry a setup fee charged by Global Office Services to the client, which must be paid by the client to have use of said services. If the client terminates this agreement, the client shall be responsible for any and all outstanding fees owed to Global Office Services and agrees to pay any and all fees incurred by the client. Because the services are provided on a monthly basis, the client will be responsible for service fees incurred each month, regardless of when the client provides notice of termination. Thus, for example, if the client provides notice of termination on the 15th day of a particular month, the client will be responsible for service fees for the entire month, and such fees will not be pro-rated or refunded.
Return Checks
GOS charges a $35.00 fee for returned checks, whether by check or credit card.
Customers that issue a returned check will be required to submit future payments with a certified check or money order.
Credit Card Chargebacks
A $25.00 chargeback fee will be assessed for each credit card chargeback received by Global Office Services, LLC.

Therefore, if the client’s account is canceled at any point during the one-year term, the client will be entitled to a refund for the months remaining after notice is given by the 25th day of the preceding month.
