Billing

Consultant will provide service to Customer for a monthly service fee. Payment of service fees is due prior to any change of REPs. Your payment acts as validation of Consultant’s authority to act as an agent on your behalf. Without this payment, SK Energy could be cited for “slamming,” which is the unauthorized switch of REPs. By providing SK Energy with a payment method, you (i) represent that you are authorized to use the payment method that you provided and that any payment information you provide is true and accurate; (ii) authorize SK Energy to charge you for the services using the provided payment method; and (iii) authorize SK Energy to charge you for any paid feature of the services that you choose to sign up for or use while these Terms are in force. You further authorize us to use a third party to process payments, and consent to the disclosure of your payment information to such third party. We may bill you (a) in advance; (b) at the time of purchase; or (c) on a recurring basis for subscription services. Also, we may charge you up to the amount you have approved, and we will notify you in advance of any change in the amount to be charged for recurring subscription services. We may bill you at the same time for more than one of your prior billing periods for amounts that haven’t previously been processed.

Recurring Payments

When you purchase the Services on a subscription basis (e.g., monthly, every 3 months or annually (as applicable)), you acknowledge and agree that you are authorizing recurring payment, and payments shall be made to SK Energy by the method you have chosen at the recurring intervals chosen by you, until the subscription for that Service is terminated by you or by SK Energy. By authorizing recurring payments, you are authorizing SK Energy to process such payments as either electronic debits or fund transfers, or as electronic drafts from your designated account (in the case of Automated Clearing House or similar payments), or as charges to your designated account (in the case of credit card or similar payments) (collectively, “Electronic Payments” ). Subscription fees are generally billed or charged in advance of the applicable subscription period. If any payment is returned unpaid or if any credit card or similar transaction is rejected or denied, SK Energy or its service providers reserve the right to collect any applicable return item, rejection or insufficient funds fee and to process any such payment as an Electronic Payment.

Payment against invoice

If you are paying by invoice, we will invoice you no more than forty-five (45) days before the beginning of the Subscription Term and each subsequent Billing Period, and other times during the Subscription Term when fees are payable. All amounts invoiced are due and payable within fifteen (15) days from the date of the invoice.

Payment Information

You will keep your contact information, billing information and credit card information (where applicable) up to date. All payment obligations are non-cancelable and all amounts paid are non-refundable, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement. All fees are due and payable in advance throughout the Subscription Term.

Collection Costs

If you fail to pay amounts you owe us, you may be subject to collections by SK Energy or your account may be
referred to a third party collection agency. To the extent permitted by law, you will pay us any costs and fees we
reasonably incur to collect amounts you owe us.

We reserve the right to change the terms and conditions on which we offer service. If we make any such changes, we will send you a copy of your new Customer Agreement containing its effective date. You always have the right to cancel your service, in whole or in part, at any time, and you may do so if you do not accept any such changed terms or conditions. If you elect not to cancel your service after receiving a new Customer Agreement, your continued receipt of service constitutes acceptance of the changed terms and conditions. If you notify us that you do not accept such terms and conditions, then we may cancel your service as provided in the section on Cancellation, as we cannot offer service to different customers on different terms.

Cancellation

  • (b) Your Cancellation. You may cancel service by notifying us in writing either by email or US Mail. Your notice is effective on the day we receive it.

  • (d) Credit Balances. When your account is closed, we will review your account and refund any excess monetary payments. Retention or similar credits may not be refunded.
  • (e) Payment Upon Cancellation. Upon cancellation, you remain responsible for payment of all outstanding balances accrued through the effective date. If you have provided your financial information to us, you authorize us to apply this method of payment, in accordance with applicable law, to satisfy any and all amounts due upon cancellation.

Resolving Disputes

In order to expedite and control the cost of disputes, you and we agree that any legal or equitable claim relating to this Agreement, any addendum, or your Service (referred to as a “claim”) will be resolved as follows:

  • (a) Informal Resolution. We will first try to resolve any claim informally. Accordingly, neither of us may start a formal proceeding for at least 60 days after one of us notifies the other of a claim in writing. You will send your notice to the address on the first page of this Agreement, and we will send our notice to your billing address via certified mail.
  • (b) Formal Resolution; Venue; Choice of Law. If we cannot resolve a claim informally, any claim either of us asserts will be resolved by a Court of competent jurisdiction in Ellis County, Texas. The law of the State of Texas will govern any such dispute.
