Monthly billing statements are sent through SureWire Internet, Incorporated.
Those who opt to make payment by bankcard, whether automatic payment, payment by phone or by

Incorporated.
|
| Bill Payment Terms and Conditions |
Payments and credits processed, or charges incurred after the Due Date will be
included in your next billing statement. Most monthly services are billed in
advance. Statements may include charges for a partial month of service based on
the date service was activated. To avoid penalty fees and/or possible disruption
of service, payments must be received by the due date printed on your monthly statement.
Customer will be responsible for all charges encurred whether or not service was
used during the billing term.
|
| Paper Billing (Mailed Statements) |
SureWire Internet, Incorporated sends all billing statements via email at no additional charge. Due to increased costs with paper statements, this option is no longer valid.
All paper billing statements will cease on June 1, 2009.
|
| Online Billing |
Our Online Billing Service provides access to your account information online
via our encrypted and secured website. Access can only be granted through a link
provided in your monthly email statement sent to your email address. The customer is
solely responsible for creating a separate login id and password. Due to the nature of data
provided via this service, we cannot look up your account login information and are unable to
change these details. The encrypted link provided with your monthly email statement will
change each month to ensure no breach in account details. This link will limit access to a
single account. It is impossible for another to accidentally or intentially gain access to
your account details. Please be aware, if you choose to forward your email statement,
then you are giving the recipient permission to access your online billing
information.
|
| Bankcard Processing |
If you use our bankcard bill paying service, you are responsible for
maintaining the availability of funds for that bankcard. We accept debit and
credit cards though Visa, MasterCard and Discover. You are responsible for all bill
payments that you authorize. When pertinent information, such as the Expiration
Date or the Account Holder's name and/or address change on the bankcard, you must notify us at
once by calling our billing office. It is not secure to send such information
via email. Failure to provide updated information may lead to your bank declining charges and
possibly lead to an invalid credit
card transaction fee added to your account charges.
We have contracted with a third party banking institution in order to process
all bankcard transactions. By using this service, you agree to allow us to
share confidential information in order to conduct business. Our third party
contacts are contractually required to use all information to complete the transaction only.
|
| Automatic Bankcard Payment Plan |
If you would rather not worry about making your monthly payment, we do offer an
Automated Bankcard payment plan. By signing up and using this service, you
authorize
SureWire Internet, Incorporated to add periodic charges to your bankcard.
Prior authorization for automatic bankcard payments is required. You can cancel this service
at any time by sending an email to billing@surewire.net or by calling our office
at (866) 682-0718.
|
| Administrative and Deliquency Fees |
The balance due must be paid in full each month to avoid possible additional
fees. If your payment is not received on or before the due date, you may be
charged interest on the unpaid balance and an administrative late fee, when and
to the extent permitted by law. A late fee may be charged to accounts more than
60-days deliquent. Further, deliquent accounts may be switched to postal billing
and charged a postal delivery fee. Disconnect fees may also apply in certain situations.
Delinquent accounts may be placed with a third party debt collector, currently Southern Oregon
Credit Services, and assessed a delinquency fee as permitted by law. Accounts sent for
collections processing will encur a hit on the individual's credit report.
|
| Changing or Reactivating Services |
To update or change your account information, billing address, phone number, etc., please
call our office at (866) 682-0718, email support@surewire.net, or write to us at PO Box 546, Medford, Oregon 97501.
Failure to maintain current information could inadvertently lead to a loss of service.
Accounts in good standing can reactivate service by phoning, emailing or writing us. Services would be
reactivated within 24-hours of notice.
Reactivating accounts with past credit problems will be required to pre-pay up to
six (6) months of service, in order to re-establish a good history. This deposit is
fully refundable if the customer makes timely payments for a minimum of six (6) months.
In the event payments are not made by the due date the deposit will be forfeited to cover all
encurred deliquency fees. Accounts that forfeit deposits will not be reactived again. No
exception.
|
| Errors or Questions about Your Statement |
If you believe your statement to be incorrect or if you need additional
information about an item on your statement, you may email or contact our
billing office. We will research and contact you with our findings.
You must contact us in writing within 30 days of receiving the statement on
which the error or problem appeared. Undisputed portions of the statement must
be paid by the due date indicated on the statement to avoid an administrative
late fee and possible inactivation of services.
