All customers are required to provide Endeavor with accurate and complete billing information, including legal name, physical address, telephone number, and, if applicable, automatic payment information (i.e., credit card or ACH).  All customers are responsible for reporting to Endeavor any changes in such billing information within 30 days of such change. 

Invoices for services are mailed at the start of each service period.  Customers shall be invoiced and charged monthly for standard service charges plus any additional usage or service charges, including, without limitation, toll-free usage charges.  All customers are responsible for monthly payment of invoices regardless of whether such invoices were actually received.  For customers participating in the automatic payment plan, all customers are responsible for being aware of the amount that shall be automatically charged from such customer’s account each month.  For customers paying by check, payments are due within 17 days after the date that the invoice is mailed by Endeavor to the customer.

All charges invoiced to a customer shall be deemed to be valid and undisputed unless the customer disputes such charges in writing within 60 days after the invoice is mailed by Endeavor to the customer.  Each customer is responsible for payment for all services provided to such customer by Endeavor at Endeavor’s standard charges (unless otherwise set forth in the customer’s service agreement with Endeavor) and pursuant to Endeavor’s standard billing practices, regardless of whether the provided service is specifically set forth in the customer’s service agreement with Endeavor.
