immediately invoiced and processed for payment at time of
cancellation. There will be no proration or refunds of any monthly or
annual fees or for partial months of service usage. Non usage of the
services contracted for under this agreement will not be construed as
a cancellation by the CLIENT. CLIENT acknowledges that services
contracted for are due and payable without regards to usage. Non usage
or low usage of the services contracted for does not reduce the
amounts due for contracted services. ASI Terms are Net-10. Interest of
1.5% per month will be charged on all past due balances. Additionally
a 10% fee will be accessed for late payments.
2. Monthly charges are based on the current price list and the service

without modifying other terms and conditions of this agreement.
Service plans, prices and fees are subject to change with 30 days
notice. All funds are payable in U.S. Dollars.
3. Collection/Attorney's Fee. In the event that either party to this
contract commences any lawsuit or legal action or engages a collection
agency to enforce any rights or remedies which it may have under this
contract, the prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to
an award of its reasonable collection fees and/or attorney's fees and
costs. Should the CLIENT choose to do a chargeback of ASI fees on the
CLIENT'S credit card, and ASI prevails, a fee of $25.00 for each
chargeback will be accessed to the CLIENT'S account.

support services to its clients, including telephone answering service
and voice mail service. CLIENT understands that all phone numbers
provided by ASI are the property of ASI and will always remain ASI's
property even upon and after termination of this agreement. CLIENT
further acknowledges that ASI provides these services to clients on a
volume basis, and that while every effort is made to carry out such
services to the best of ASIs' ability there may be instances where
mistakes are made. CLIENT further acknowledges that the fees charged
by ASI for its services do not contemplate compensation damages to
CLIENT caused by the occurrence of such error, mistake or delay, and
that if ASI were to charge fees that did contemplate the assumption of
such risks, that the amount of such fees would be much greater.
Accordingly, it is agreed by the parties as follows:
A. CLIENT agrees that ASI assumes, shall incur and be responsible
for no liability in connection with any mistake, error or delay in
the performance of the services to be delivered under this contract.
CLIENT also waives and holds ASI exempt and free from liability as a
result of such mistakes, error or delay in the delivery of such
services.
B. It is additionally agreed that should the foregoing waiver of
liability be held for any reason Unenforceable, the damages for any
such mistake, error or delay in delivery of services shall be
limited to and shall not exceed the cost of one month's fees as
provided in the Agreement which would have otherwise been payable by
CLIENT to ASI for the rendering of the type of service with the
regard to which it is claimed that mistake, error or delay was
committed or occurred.
8. CLIENT agrees to allow ASI to charge the balance on any invoice(s)
outstanding on the CLIENTS account to the Credit Card Number or any
other credit card that CLIENT has provided to ASI once the invoice
becomes due and payable per the terms on the invoice. By accepting
