Service Description And Term Of Service

The Service. PrayerLines.org provides “meet-me”, reservationless audio conferencing services, enabled with a variety of access methods for participants to connect to conference calls, plus a number of convenience, quality and functional features. We may alter, expand, or reduce the features of the Service from time to time without notice.

Service Term. The Service is offered on a month-to-month basis, beginning on the date PrayerLines.org activates Service, and automatically renews on a monthly basis. PrayerLines.org also offers the Service for twelve consecutive months pursuant to optional annual pricing plans. You may cancel the Service at any time through the PrayerLines.org website. If you cancel Service prior to the end of the monthly or annual billing period, YOU WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO BILLING CREDITS OR REFUNDS FOR THE UNUSED PORTION OF YOUR BILLING PERIOD OR UNUSED PREPAID USAGE CREDITS, unless you cancel during the Money Back Guarantee period described herein.

Free Trial Offer. From time to time, PrayerLines.org may allow users to subscribe pursuant to a promotional offer granting a free trial for Service (“Free Trial”). Free Trial subscribers will receive free use of the Service solely for a limited period of time and all use of the Service shall be subject to the terms herein, plus all other restrictions, limitations and conditions identified in the specific promotional offer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, all Free Trial subscriptions are provided solely as an accommodation to the subscriber, and PrayerLines.org reserves the right, at all times in its sole discretion, to terminate any Free Trial at any time without notice. Once the Free Trial period expires, the subscriber will be ineligible to subsequently establish another Free Trial account under the same or any other identity, unless expressly permitted to do so under the terms of a specific promotional offer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, PrayerLines.org may terminate this Agreement and/or suspend the provision of the Service immediately for: illegal, fraudulent, excessive or improper use of the Service or if deemed reasonably necessary by PrayerLines.org to prevent interruption or disruption to the PrayerLines.org system, its business or other customers; if any portion of an invoice not reasonably disputed in good faith as herein provided remains unpaid when due; or for breach, not subject to cure.

Charges And Payments

Billing. You must provide a valid credit card number or checking account information (bank routing number plus account number) when the Service is activated. You authorize PrayerLines.org to charge automatically to your credit card or bank account (ACH) any amounts payable by you in connection with your use of the Service. Your right to use the Service is subject to any limits established by your credit card issuer. Your charges and credits issued will appear on an online billing statement that you may access from the PrayerLines.org website. You give PrayerLines.org permission to obtain authorization for use of your credit card from your card issuer. If the card expires, you close your account, your billing address changes, or the card is canceled and replaced owing to loss or theft, you must advise PrayerLines.org at once. If you enroll in ACH billing, and you close or change or bank account, you must advise PrayerLines.org at once. Your signing up to the Service authorizes PrayerLines.org to charge the credit card and/or bank account number on file with PrayerLines.org, updated by any changed information related to card expiration, replacement, or substitution. This authorization remains valid until 30 days after PrayerLines.org receives your notice to terminate our authority to charge your card, whereupon we will charge you for any outstanding charges and terminate the Service. PrayerLines.org bills all charges and applicable taxes and fees monthly in advance (except for usage-based charges, which will be billed monthly in arrears, plus any other charges which PrayerLines.org chooses to bill in arrears) to your designated payment method. PrayerLines.org is not responsible for any overdraft or other charges imposed by your card issuer or bank due to insufficient funds in your account. PrayerLines.org reserves the right to bill at more frequent intervals if the outstanding amount due at any time exceeds $50. All charges will be billed according to the rates and terms set forth in published materials and found on the PrayerLines.org website.

Electronic Invoicing. You will not receive paper invoices or receipts. You can access printable invoices, billing reports and payment receipts via the PrayerLines.org website.

Trial Guarantee. From time to time, PrayerLines.org may offer a Money Back Guarantee (“Trial Guarantee”), the duration (the “Trial Period”) and terms of which may vary according to the terms of specific sales promotions as described in the promotional literature or on the website, which is applicable only to your first-ordered account. (You will not qualify for the Trial Guarantee program if you cancel and subsequently re-establish a PrayerLines.org account at the same or another location.) Under the terms of this Trial Guarantee, if it applies, PrayerLines.org may refund some or all charges, provided that you cancel the Service within the specified number of days in the Trial Period after the Activation Date. PrayerLines.org reserves the right to terminate, revoke, or change the terms of this Trial Guarantee at any time, without prior notice. No refund of usage charges or any taxes or fees applicable to such charges will apply, including but not limited to toll-free access charges.

PrayerLines.org Annual Service Plans. The annual service fees associated with the optional PrayerLines.org Annual Service Plans represent payment for twelve consecutive months of Service commencing on the Activation Date. You will be responsible for any additional charges for services or usage not covered by the plan, billed on a monthly basis. If you cancel the Service prior to the end of the annual period, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND OR CREDIT FOR THE UNUSED PORTION OF YOUR BILLING PERIOD, unless you cancel within an applicable Trial Guarantee period, as described herein. At the conclusion of the annual period, your Service will automatically renew for a subsequent twelve-month period at the then-current renewal price for the selected PrayerLines.org annual Service plan, unless you choose to switch to an alternate pricing plan or cancel Service prior to the anniversary of the Activation Date.

Usage Charges. Certain types of connections to PrayerLines.org conference calls may be subject to per-minute charges. Usage charges apply for each minute of use for each conference participant. Applicable rates will be listed on the PrayerLines.org website. Usage is billed in full-minute increments, and charges are calculated for each conference call to the nearest whole cent.

Prepaid Usage. PrayerLines.org offers prepaid usage options, allowing you to purchase prepaid minutes of use at discounted rates, including an option to automatically replenish your prepaid account when the minute balance is depleted. If you cancel the Service, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND OR CREDIT FOR UNUSED PREPAID USAGE; the unused prepaid minutes will be permanently forfeited.

Price and Price Changes. Prices and charges relating to the Service are posted on the PrayerLines.org website. We may change the prices and charges for the Service from time to time. We may decrease prices without providing advance notice. Increases to the prices or charges for the Service are effective no sooner than seven days (1) after posted on the PrayerLines.org website or (2) you are otherwise notified of the changes, including being sent an electronic notification to the email address registered on your account.

Failure to Pay. We may suspend, restrict, or cancel the Service and this Agreement if you do not make payments for current or prior bills by the required due date. Service cancellation will result in your loss of the conference identification numbers associated with the Service.

Late Payment Charge. We may add interest charges to any past-due amounts at the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowed by law, prorated for each day payment is past due. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “Paid in Full” or with other restrictions) shall not waive any of our rights to collect the full amount of your charges for the Service. You agree to reimburse us for reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other costs associated with collecting delinquent or dishonored payments. If charges cannot be processed through your credit or debit card, we will charge you an additional $15.00. If the state where you receive the Service requires a different fee, we will charge you that amount.

Invalid Payment Method. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that the payment method(s) registered on your account is no longer valid (such as the passing of an expiration date associated with a credit card or a failed payment transaction against that card, for any reason), we may suspend or restrict the Service until you provide a valid payment method.

Taxes. You are responsible for, and must pay, any applicable federal, state, local, or other governmental sales, use, excise, public utility, or other taxes, Universal Service Fund fees, and charges now in force or enacted in the future, that arise from or as a result of your subscription or use or payment for the Service. These amounts are in addition to payment for the Service and will be billed to your credit or debit card as set forth in this Agreement. If you are exempt from payment of such charges, you must provide documentation satisfactory to us that you are exempt. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date PrayerLines.org receives and verifies this documentation. Taxes and other applicable fees will be in the amounts specified by federal, state, and local authorities.

Service Interruption. You acknowledge and agree that credit allowances for interruption of the Service will not be provided.

Billing Disputes. You must notify PrayerLines.org within seven days after receiving your credit or debit card statement if you dispute any PrayerLines.org charges on that statement or such dispute will be deemed waived.

Service Cancellation

You may cancel the Service at any time by notifying PrayerLines.org according to the procedures specified on the PrayerLines.org website. You remain fully liable for accrued charges, taxes, and fees outstanding at the time of termination, and you authorize PrayerLines.org to process these amounts to your credit or debit card. You agree that if we are unable to process these amounts to your designated credit or debit card(s), we may take other steps as we deem necessary to collect the fees owed to us for the Service, and that you will be responsible for all costs and expenses we incur in connection with such collection activity, including collection fees, court costs and legal fees.
