Paying for Services Using Our Recurring Monthly Debit system
1.1.
Term
Focus Point Media, Inc. may provide its Services on a Monthly basis by
charging a one-time setup fee at the current rate displayed on the CharityAdvantage
website and the first month of service to a credit/debit card or checking
account supplied by Organization. Organization’s account will then be
placed on the Focus Point Media, Inc. recurring monthly debit system.
For Organizations using this payment method, this Agreement shall be for
an "Initial Term" of 30 days. This Agreement will be automatically renewed
(the "Renewal Term") at the end of the Initial Term on a monthly basis,
unless Organization provides Focus Point Media, Inc. with notice of termination
thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term.
Organization must provide Focus Point Media, Inc. with Organization’s
notice of termination by using the cancellation form located by logging
into Organization’s CharityAdvantage account. Any notice of termination
will be effective following thirty (30) days after Focus Point Media,
Inc.'s receipt thereof. Focus Point Media, Inc. reserves the right to
not renew this agreement.
1.2.
Termination Policy
If Organization terminates Organization’s receipt of the Services prior
to the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, Focus Point Media,
Inc. will not refund to Organization any fees paid in advance of such
termination unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Organization’s
termination request or notice must be submitted to Focus Point Media,
Inc. in the manner described in Section 1.1. Focus Point Media, Inc. may

Inc. will refund to Organization the pro-rata portion of prepaid fees
attributable to Services not yet rendered as of the termination date unless
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

donations system will no longer be available on the Internet. Focus Point
Media, Inc. will not provide any products or services once an account
is terminated.
1.4.
Default and Cure
In the event that either party hereto defaults in the performance of any
of its material duties or obligations under this Agreement, including
failure to make any payments due under this Agreement, and such default

defaulting party specifying the default, then the party not in default,
after given written notice thereof to the defaulting party, may terminate

1.5.
Charges
Organization agrees to pay for all charges attributable to Organization’s
use of the Services at the then current Focus Point Media, Inc. prices,

excise, duty and any other taxes assessed with respect to the Services.

Payment
All charges for Services must be paid in advance according to the then
current prices applicable to the Services. Upon entering this Agreement,
when Organization chooses to pay by the recurring monthly debit system
upon registering for the Services, Organization thereby authorizes Focus
Point Media, Inc. to charge the credit/debit card or bank account supplied

account. Organization must notify Focus Point Media, Inc. of any changes
to the credit/debit card or bank account (including, without limitation,

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 Organization to Focus Point Media, Inc.
In addition, Organization’s 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 Focus Point Media, Inc. may, in addition
to any other remedy it may suspend its performance of the Services and/or
terminate this Agreement. Any such suspension or termination of the Services
would not relieve Organization from paying past due fees plus interest.
In the event of collection enforcement, Organization will be liable for
any costs associated with such collection, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and collection agency fees. All
charges are considered valid unless disputed in writing with sixty (60)
days of the billing date. Adjustments will not be made for charges that
are over 60 days old. Delinquent accounts may be suspended or canceled
at Focus Point Media, Inc.'s sole discretion; however, charges will continue
to accrue until the account is canceled. Organization understands that
Organization is not entitled to any prorated refund due to Organization’s
cancellation prior to the end of service. All payments are non refundable.
