address the issue at a 15% discount from the regular service price.
Customer pre-requisites: The Service requires a functioning high-speed Internet connection, and up-todate
antivirus software installed on the PCs.
3. PAYMENT
If Customer would like to continue the Service after expiration of the initial Service period, Customer
agrees to pay the Service fees (including any applicable taxes) for any extension of the Service at the rates
in effect at the time of extension. Unless stated in writing otherwise, all fees and charges are
nonrefundable. In Home Tech may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges,
by giving Customer notice in advance.
If Customer signs up for automatic renewal, his or her subscription will renew automatically at the end of
each respective applicable period -- on a month-to-month basis if Customer originally signed up for a
one-month term, and on an annual basis if Customer originally signed up for a 1-year, 2-year, or 3-year
term, unless In Home Tech terminates the subscription or Customer notifies In Home Tech of his or her
decision to terminate the subscription.
For month-to-month renewal plans, In Home Tech will send prior notice of renewal at least two weeks
before the initial renewal, but will not send such notice thereafter; rather, In Home Tech will thereafter
charge Customer’s card each month in advance and send Customer a monthly receipt thereafter. For
annual renewal plans, In Home Tech will notify Customer of the pending subscription renewal at least 30
days prior to the date the subscription is scheduled to renew, except as otherwise required by law, and will
charge Customer’s the annual fee as of the renewal date (i.e., the annual renewal plan is charged on a
lump-sum basis, not a monthly basis). In Home Tech will bill all charges automatically to Customer’s credit
card at the beginning of every renewal period, at the rates then in effect, unless Customer notifies In Home Tech
otherwise. Customer must cancel his or her subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing
of subscription fees for the renewal term to his or her credit card.
