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 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
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 rate of 1.5% per month or at
the highest rate allowed by law. Late charges are prorated daily for each
day that payment is past due, but are not compounded monthly.
Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “paid in full”)
does not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us.
Disputed Charges
You must raise any dispute that you have about any charges invoiced to
you within 15 days of the date of the invoice or you have accepted the
invoice. You may notify us of any dispute by notifying PCS
Customer Care. Calls to our sales or general business offices are not
notice of a dispute. If disputed invoice procedures are described on the
invoice, you must follow them.
