- Unless otherwise specified, you will be billed monthly for recurring service charges, equipment charges, and applicable state and federal taxes and fees. We bill in advance; your Internet billing cycle begins on the 1st of each month and ends at the end of the month. Your statement will be available on the 25th of each month of service with Company. Payment in full for all billed charges must be received by the 10th of the following month. You acknowledge that you are liable for the payment of all Services rendered by Company and billed to your account. No acceptance of partial payment(s) by Company shall constitute a waiver of any rights to collect the full balance owed under this Agreement. If your payment is returned, we may charge a processing fee for each returned payment, to the fullest extent allowed by Indiana law. You acknowledge that writing statements to the effect of “paid in full” on any checks or other payments provided to Company has no legal effect. Your first bill may be for more than a single month’s service due to pro-rated charges from the date you first began receiving our Services, as well as monthly recurring charges for the next month and charges for any non-recurring services you have received.
- In some cases, you may be billed for Services outside of your recurring service charges. You will be responsible for any charges resulting from, but not limited to, changes in service, service calls, orders, upgrades made from your account. Additionally, certain types of calls may be billed on a measured basis including international long distance and directory assistance calling.
- Administrative Charges. If you fail to pay your bill by the due date on your billing statement, we may charge you an administrative charge Except where administrative charges are set pursuant to law, you will incur a late fee per service location. You will be responsible for reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Company in our collection attempts of any past due amounts not paid by you. If you fail to pay the amount owed, we may suspend or terminate any Services provided to you, and may require you to pay a suspension fee, in addition to paying all outstanding balances, prior to restoring your Services. It is your responsibility to ensure Company is in receipt of your payment prior to the due date indicated on your billing statement.
- Trial/Introductory Rates and Promotions. If you are receiving promotional or trial/introductory rates, you may cancel your Services at any time prior to the end of the promotional period by notifying us in writing, in person, or by telephone. Once the promotional or introductory period expires, regular charges for the Services will apply unless you notify us you would like to terminate such Services.
- Billing Errors. Disputes concerning your bill may be directed to Company by telephone, in person, email, or in writing. In the event of a dispute concerning the bill, you understand you are still required to pay a sum of money equal to the amount of the undisputed portion of the bill. Your Services shall not be disconnected for nonpayment of the disputed amount. An administrative charge may be assessed upon any outstanding undisputed balance due that remains after the due date indicated on your billing statement. We limit retroactive adjustments for billing errors to ninety (90) days prior to the date the error is discovered. In the event of a billing error, you must notify us within thirty (30) calendar days of the day you receive your bill. If no notice is received, you acknowledge your waiver of any right to receive a refund or credit.
- Credit Card Payments. Use of a credit card to pay for the Services is governed by the credit card issuer agreement. You must refer to that agreement for your responsibilities and liabilities as a cardholder. By providing us with a credit card number, you authorize us to charge the card for all charges generated under this Agreement, until its termination, or prior authorization by you to stop charging the credit card. It is your responsibility to provide Company with updated credit card information on a timely basis prior to the expiration or termination of the credit card on file. We shall not be responsible in the event your credit card limit is insufficient to cover payment.

The Customer portal can be found at https://billing.kosciuskoremc.com/onlineportal
LATE/OTHER CHARGES AND SECURITY DEPOSIT. Customer shall make all payments to Company when due. Customer understands that Company may require a security deposit and/or issue an administrative late fee (“Late Fee”) for monthly charges not paid by stated due date. The Late Fee is a reasonable estimate of costs to manage past due accounts. Examples of these costs include preparing additional bill statements, processing Customer service records, mailing additional notices, tracking past due accounts, responding to inquiries regarding past due balances, making collection telephone calls, performing special procedures to process past due payments, and generating work orders. Company does not extend credit to Customers and the Late Fee is not interest, a credit service charge, or a finance charge. If Service is disconnected, Company may impose a reconnect charge and/or security deposit, in addition to collecting any outstanding balance, including any Late Fee, before service is restored. If Customer’s check is returned for insufficient funds, Company may impose a service charge up to $25.00. If Customer has not paid amounts due within 30 days of the due date, a collection agency and/or attorney may be engaged to collect amounts due.
