Upon signup, the end-user will be billed in full month’s payments. All recurring transactions take place on the 24th-25th of the month which prepays for the upcoming month's service. There are no prorates for first month service unless specifically granted by management. If the billing is declined, it is up to management whether we will attempt a re-bill between the 26th and may continue to do so every few days for service. It is the end users responsibility to make sure that ACI always has the most up to date contact and billing information for their account. Under no circumstances will we be liable for fees incurred by the user for ACI attempting to charge for service. If account is declined after 26th, it is deactivated. If there should be any billing disputes, all disputes must be made first through ACI. Any billing disputes done through the bank and not presented to ACI  that result in chargeback fees from the bank will result in immediate cancellation with and reserved denial of service with all managed companies until fees are recovered.  We reserve the right to send any unpaid balance to collection and report to the credit bureaus.

Unless explicitly specified, ACI reserves the right to increase internet service rates.  If the price increase is more than $1.00 USD, 30 days notice will be provided via postal mail to all affected customers.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, AMEX and PayPal for monthly recurring payments.  Payments to be processed via check or money order must be approved by management ahead of time, or the payment will not be accepted.
