returning to the Voice Command platform. If you initiate and
complete another call without leaving the Voice Command platform, a
separate charge for that call will begin from the time the previous call
was terminated. Airtime and applicable long distance charges will be
applied to the entire length of a completed call initiated from Voice
Command. Using Directory Assistance to input names into your Voice
Command address book will incur additional charges.
Invoicing.
Invoicing cycles are approximately 30 days in length.
Invoicing cycles and dates may change from time to time. Except as
otherwise provided in your Service Plan, monthly recurring charges
(MRCs) are invoiced one invoicing cycle in advance. Charges for
Services are usually invoiced as soon as possible after the charges
accrue. We may, however, invoice you for usage and charges occurring
before the invoicing cycle being invoiced, if they were not previously
invoiced. If you are invoiced for usage incurred during a prior
invoicing cycle, those minutes will be applied to your Service Plan
minutes for the current invoicing cycle. However, if you change your
PCS Service Plan between the time the usage was incurred and the
beginning of the current invoicing cycle, those minutes from the prior
invoicing cycle will be charged at the rate per minute for usage over
included minutes provided in the Service Plan in effect at the time the
usage was incurred.
Payment.
If you have authorized payment for Services or equipment
by credit card or by debiting a bank account, no additional notice or
consent is required before we invoice the credit card or debit the bank
account for all amounts due to us or billed by us on behalf of a third
party. You must promptly notify us of any change in your invoicing
address or of the credit card or bank account used for payment. We
reserve the right to require payment by money order, cashier's check or
other secured form of payment. If we take action to receive payment
beyond invoicing you for charges for Services or equipment, you must
pay our costs and expenses of collection, including attorneys' fees and
expenses, the fees of any collection agency and court costs. If we act as
an invoicing agent for a third-party service provider, payments
received are first applied to amounts due and owing to us and any
remaining amounts are applied to sums due and owing to the third-
party service provider. We may immediately charge an additional fee
for any check or other negotiable instrument endorsed by you and
returned unpaid by a financial institution for any reason. You may be
charged fees for certain methods of payment.
Late Payment Charges
. Payment is past due if we do not receive it by
the due date shown on your invoice. Any payment for Services and
equipment not made when due accrues late charges until paid at the
