1. TERM AND PAYMENT FOR SERVICES

the Initial Term for the same period as the Initial Term unless you provide Zogmo
with notice of termination thirty (30) days prior to the end of the
Initial Term or the Renewal Term.

pro-rata portion of prepaid fees attributable to Services (excluding setup fees)
not yet rendered as of the termination date unless otherwise expressly provided

material duties or obligations under this Agreement, including failure to make
any payments due under this Agreement, and such default is not cured within five
(5) days after written notice is given to the defaulting party specifying the
default, then the party not in default, after given written notice thereof to
the defaulting party, may terminate this Agreement.
1.4. Charges
You agree to pay for all charges attributable to your use of the Services at the
then current Zogmo prices, which shall be exclusive of any applicable
taxes. You are responsible for the payment of all federal, state, and local
sales, use, value added, excise, duty and any other taxes assessed with respect
to the Services, other than taxes based on Zogmo's net income.
1.5. Payment
All charges for Services must be paid in advance according to the then current
prices applicable to the services. Upon entering this Agreement, you must choose
to pay either by direct charge to a credit or debit card. If you choose to pay
by credit or debit card upon registering for the services, you thereby authorize

invoice payments, late charges of the lesser of one and one-half per cent (1.5%)
per month or the maximum allowable under applicable law but at no time less than
$15 shall also become payable by you to Zogmo. In addition, your
failure to fully pay any fees and taxes within five (5) days after the
applicable due date will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, and Zogmo
may, in addition to any other remedy it may have: (i) suspend its
performance of the Services and/or terminate this Agreement; and/or (ii) At the
time of such nonpayment, TotalChoice may, delete any and all content from the
Zogmo Servers. Any such suspension or termination of the Services would
not relieve you from paying past due fees plus interest. In the event of
collection enforcement, you will be liable for any costs associated with such
collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court
costs and collection agency fees.
