A single commercial account with minute usage in excess of 10,200 minutes over a 30 day period will be billed 1.9 cents per minute for each overage minute. InternetPhoneServiceProvider.com will be the sole and final arbitrator in regards to decisions related to what constitutes acceptable average use of service.

Possession of an InternetPhoneServiceProvider.com provided access device does not grant you a license to any firmware or software embedded on such device except to access the InternetPhoneServiceProvider.com service as a customer.

Cancellation

If you choose to cancel service, and have received equipment from InternetPhoneServiceProvider.com, a Hardware Return Fee in the amount of $50.00 will be assessed.

Nothing returned: $50.00
Adapter/router damaged/missing: $50.00
Power adapter damaged/missing: $15.00

If equipment is received and it has been determined that it has been handled in a manner inconsistent with "normal wear and tear," you may not be eligible for a full refund of the Hardware Return Fee.

Upon termination of service, your account will receive a full pro-rated refund for any remaining pre-paid months calculated from the first day of the following month. Activation fees, shipping fees and one-time fees are not eligible for any type of refund; only service fees are refundable as outlined in this agreement.

The Disconnect Fee becomes due and payable immediately upon cancellation and will be deducted from any refunds due, or billed directly to Customer’s credit card.

Non-usage of service does not constitute the cancellation of an account. All cancellation requests must be submitted in the form of a verified customer service ticket.
