   Once Service is activated, you are responsible for paying all charges associated with the Service. Monthly Service charges are billed in advance and usage charges are billed in arrears. All bills from REV are due by the 20th day after the bill date and are payable as designated on the bill. REV may apply a late fee of the lesser of five percent (5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law to each of your bills not paid by the due date. You are responsible to pay all REV’s cost of collection, including bank charges and reasonable attorney fees.
8. CALCULATION OF USAGE. Charges for usage-based Service offered by REV begin when the connection is established. Charges are assessed in whole minute increments, unless otherwise noted in the description of rate plans currently offered at REV Residential Long Distance Rates and Associated Charges. Where charges for Service vary due to time of day, time periods are defined in REV’s rate tables and are determined by the local time of the location where you make the call. When a call is established in one rate period and ends in another rate period, the rates are based on the commencement time of the call.
9. TAXES, FEES AND SURCHARGES.In addition to the charges for the Service, you are also responsible for paying all applicable federal, state and local use, excise, sales or privilege taxes, and all fees chargeable to or against REV as a result of its provision of Service to you.
10. BILLING DISPUTES.If you believe you have been billed in error, you must contact REV within sixty (60) days of the date of the bill which contains the disputed charge. Refunds or adjustments will not be issued for any charge that is more than sixty (60) days old. You may withhold from payment to REV the disputed portion of any bill pending resolution of the dispute, but all non-disputed charges are due within the normal time period. REV will notify you of the results of its inquiry, and either adjust the billing, issue a credit, or notify you that all or a portion of the disputed amount is still owed. You will be required to pay such amount within five (5) days thereafter, and if you fail to pay this amount within the time required, your account will be deemed past due and unpaid. In such event, REV will be entitled to terminate your Service immediately without any liability whatsoever and/or require an additional deposit. In addition, any payments you withheld pending resolution of the dispute may be subject to a late payment fee of five percent (5%) per month or the maximum  rate permitted by law for the period during which such charges remain unpaid.
11. BILLING ENTITY CONDITIONS.When billing for REV’s Service is performed by local exchange telephone companies, credit card companies or others, the payment conditions and regulations of such companies apply, including any applicable interest and/or late payment charges.
12. DEPOSITS AND ADVANCE PAYMENT. REV reserves the right to require you to make a deposit to guarantee payment for Service before activating Service.

    REV will return your deposit as follows: (a) when an application for Service has been canceled prior to the time that your Service is activated, your deposit will be applied to any existing charges, and any excess portion of the deposit, if any, will be returned by REV within sixty (60) days following settlement of your account; (b) upon the discontinuance of Service, REV will refund your deposit to the extent that it exceeds any unpaid charges for Service provided to you; or (c) the unused portion of a deposit will be refunded to you if you have paid each bill rendered by REV for Service within the prescribed period for each of the twelve (12) months after the date the deposit was made. The refunding or crediting of your deposit and accrued interest in no way relieves you of your obligation to comply with all of the terms of this contract or from making payments when due.
13. TERMINATION OF SERVICE BY THE CUSTOMER. Upon providing REV adequate information as to your identity, you may terminate Service by notifying REV. All amounts due under the terms and conditions of the Service plan selected are immediately due and payable.
14. TERMINATION OF SERVICE BY REV. REV may immediately terminate or withhold Service to you without incurring any liability whatsoever for the following reasons: (a) non-payment of any sum due for Service where your charges remain unpaid more than five (5) days following written notice of non-payment from REV mailed, postage prepaid, to your last known address; (b) your acts or omissions which constitute, in the reasonable opinion of REV, a violation of or a failure to comply with any terms of this contract, and where such violation or failure to comply with a term of this contract threatens to interfere with REV’s operations or its furnishing of Service to, or the use of Service by, another customer of REV; (c) the implementation of any order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or of a federal or state regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction, prohibiting REV from furnishing you Service; (d) where you have failed or neglected to tender any additional or required deposit within five (5) days of demand by REV; or (e) where REV reasonably deems partial or complete termination of Service is necessary to prevent unlawful use of its Service. Furthermore, if REV determines its services are being used to support illegal robocalling activity, or if Client fails to cooperate in addressing robocalling activity, REV may immediately and at its sole discretion block outgoing calls and/or terminate service for failure to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. In the event your Service is partially or completely terminated for any of the reasons stated herein, you will remain responsible for all unpaid Service charges due and owing to REV. REV will have the right to apply your deposit and any accrued interest to all cancellation charges and to all associated outstanding charges associated with your Service. If you seek re-institution of Service following a partial or complete termination of Service by REV, you will pay to REV prior to the time Service is reinstated: (a) all accrued and unpaid charges; and (b) a deposit.
15. TESTING AND INSPECTIONS. Without incurring any liability whatsoever, REV may, at any time, interrupt the provision of Service to you in order to perform tests and inspections to assure compliance with this contract and/or the proper installation and operation of either your equipment and facilities or REV’s equipment and facilities. REV may continue such interruption until any non-compliance or improper equipment or facilities identified is corrected.
16. NO WAIVER. Based on the circumstances presented, REV may waive certain of the requirements stated herein. Such waiver will be limited to that set of specific circumstances and will not eliminate your obligation to continue to comply with the terms and conditions stated herein.

Customer shall have the right to reactivate such account within thirty (30) days upon notice to Company and acceptance by Company.
18. REV may disconnect Service without notice if REV  believes the Services are being used with the intent to defraud REV or threaten the integrity or security of the REV network or facilities. This fraudulent activity includes, but is not limited to, fraudulently placing and/or receiving calls and/or providing false credit information to REV or its representatives.
19. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY FOR FRAUD. Customer is responsible for payment of all charges for Service furnished, including charges for Service originated, or charges accepted, at Customer’s telephone number.
