h) Other specific definitions and industry terms relevant to the Services provided by Online Image® to Client shall have the meaning set forth at www.onlineimage.com/glossary.

2. Services; Deliverables; Service Level Agreements. Subject to all of these Terms and full compliance of Client’s obligations hereunder, Online Image® shall provide to Client the Service(s). The rates for the Services, as well as other terms and conditions shall be set forth in each applicable Service Level Agreement. The Parties may make changes to any Service Level Agreement, provided that both Parties agree to such changes in writing. Online Image®’s performance of Service may include providing certain deliverables (the “Deliverables”) to Customer and its users, as shall be set forth on the applicable Service Level Agreement. Client Responsibilities. Client agrees to cooperate fully and in good faith to allow Online Image® to achieve completion of the Services in a timely and professional manner. Online Image® shall be entitled to rely on all decisions and approvals of Client in connection with the Services.

3. Fees.

a) Payment. Unless otherwise specified in the Service Level Agreement or Partner Agreement, Client shall pay Online Image® the Fees set forth in a Service Level Agreement by means of recurring ACH direct debit or credit card payment. Client authorizes Online Image® to charge or debit (as the case may be) the full amount of the fees due under a Service Level Agreement on the day of the month set forth in the Service Level Agreement. Any payment not made (i.e., if any charge or debit is declined) when due shall be late and shall bear interest at a rate of one and one-half (1.5%) per month (or such other amount not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law) from the first date of such delinquency until payment is made. All charges and fees listed on a Service Level Agreement exclude taxes and mandated withholdings, if any. If Online Image® is required to pay sales, use, value-added or other taxes resulting from sales made under this Agreement, then such taxes will be billed to Client and paid to Online Image® by Client. 

 

b) Chargebacks. We are grateful that fraudulent chargebacks are rare, but we take this issue seriously. Anyone who purchases any product or service from Online Image® and then attempts to chargeback without first trying to remedy the situation is in violation of the Online Image® Chargeback Policy. Fraudulent or unsubstantiated chargebacks may be turned over to a law enforcement or collection agency. The Client agrees that if they violate the Online Image® Chargeback Policy, they will be responsible for all costs and fees associated with disputing the chargeback. These fees include, but are not limited to, attorneys’ fees, administrative and management time spent providing facts, research, and statements, merchant fees and collection fees. If the Client feels that they have attempted to resolve the situation in a reasonable manner yet have not been able to reach an agreement, the Client may contact the President CEO of Online Image®, LLC with the contact information provided below.
