3: Payment
Participant shall pay the Company in exchange for Participant’s participation in the Program pursuant to one of the following plans:
Plans: As noted in your contract at time of signature.
You understand that this is not a monthly fee. Instead, this is an installment plan spreading out the payment of the full Program fee, and any mid-Program cancellation by you does not relieve you of the obligation to pay the Program fee in full.
- Late Payment Fee. If any fee outlined in this Agreement remains unpaid after the fifth business day following its due date, Hello Seven reserves the right to assess a penalty fee of ten percent (10%) of the payment due at its own discretion. We reserve the right to restrict your access to the Services, or terminate your participation in the Services unless and until all outstanding program fees and assessed penalties are paid in full. If your Program fees remain unpaid 30 days after the initial due date, your account will be referred to our collections agency.
- Financing. In select cases, Hello Seven may offer financing options. If you receive financing through a third party provider, you will be subject to its terms and conditions. Hello Seven will not be liable for any loss or damage to you that arises out of or results from an action by the third party. If you receive financing through Hello Seven, you understand that it is not a monthly fee. Instead it is an installment plan spreading out the payment of the full Program fee and any mid-Program cancellation by you does not relieve you of the obligation to pay the entire amount in full.
In all cases, Hello Seven reserves the right to cancel your participation in the Program and/or demand payment of the total balance if you fail to make any payment within five business days of such payment’s due date.
- Payment Security and Chargebacks. To the extent that Participant provides the Company with credit card information for payment, the Company is authorized to charge Participant’s credit card for any unpaid charges on the dates set forth herein. If Participant uses an installment option to make payments to the Company, the Company is authorized to make all charges at the time they are due and not require separate authorization to do so. Participant shall not make any chargebacks to the Company’s account or cancel the credit card number that is provided as security without the Company’s prior written consent. Participant is responsible for any fees associated with recouping payment on chargebacks and any collection fees associated therewith. Participant shall not change any of the credit card information provided to Company without notifying Company in advance. If the credit card on file is lost, stolen, or otherwise replaced, Participant will provide updated card information to the Company as soon as possible.
