send an email to: billing@flamesburn.com. Upon receipt of
this email, you will be contacted by FLAMESBURN.COM to verify
your account information, and to go over the details of
your cancellation.
Termination
Policy. If you terminate Services prior to the end of your
prepaid term, FLAMESBURN.COM shall not refund to you any
fees paid in advance of such termination. If FLAMESBURN.COM
terminates this Agreement, FLAMESBURN.COM shall refund to
you the pro-rata portion of pre-paid fees attributable to
Services not yet rendered as of the termination date, unless
otherwise expressly provided herein.
Service Modifications. All services may be modified upon 30 days notice. If you modify services prior to the end of your prepaid term, FLAMESBURN.COM shall not refund to you any fees paid in advance of such modification. All prepaid fees shall be applied to your new service plan.
Liability

be liable to you because of such expiration or termination
for compensation, reimbursement or damages on account of
the loss of prospective profits, anticipated sales, goodwill
or on account of expenditures, investments, leases or commitments
in connection with your business, or for any other reason
whatsoever flowing from such termination or expiration.
Any termination of this Agreement shall not relieve you
of any obligations to pay fees and costs accrued prior to
the termination date. FLAMESBURN.COM shall have no responsibility
to notify any third party of the termination of your account
nor provide any termination assistance. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, FLAMESBURN.COM shall have
no obligation to forward any email messages, data, information
or other content related to your use of the Services, and
you acknowledge that all such email messages, data, information
and content may be immediately deleted by FLAMESBURN.COM.
Charges.
You agree to pay all fees and charges (and applicable taxes)
incurred which relate to your use of the Services, in accordance
with the rates, terms and conditions established from time
to time by FLAMESBURN.COM that are applicable to the Services
which you have selected. Such rates, terms and conditions
will be posted on the Site or otherwise made available to
you by FLAMESBURN.COM. FLAMESBURN.COM shall begin charging
you on the date that you subscribe for FLAMESBURN.COM services,
unless otherwise specified by FLAMESBURN.COM. All prices
on the Site are net of tax and you shall be responsible
for the payment of all federal, provincial, and local sales,
use, value added, excise, duty and any other taxes assessed
with respect to the Services, other than taxes based on
FLAMESBURN.COM ‘s net income.
Credit
Card Payment. When you pay by credit card when ordering
the Services, you expressly authorize FLAMESBURN.COM or
its agents to charge all fees and charges incurred by you
under this Agreement to such card, and such authorization
will survive termination of this Agreement until there are
no charges owing by you under this Agreement. If you use
a credit card and FLAMESBURN.COM does not receive payment
from the card issuer, you agree to pay all amounts due,
upon demand by FLAMESBURN.COM. You must notify FLAMESBURN.COM
of any changes to your card account (including, without
limitation, applicable account number or cancellation or
expiration of the account), your billing address, or any
information that may prohibit FLAMESBURN.COM from charging
your account.
Failure
to Pay. If you fail to pay any fees and taxes within five
(5) days from applicable due date for credit card or invoice
payments, late charges of the lesser of one and one-half
per cent (1.5%) per month (i.e. 18% per annum) or the maximum
allowable under applicable law shall also become payable
by you to FLAMESBURN.COM. In addition, your failure to fully
pay any fees and taxes within five (5) days after the applicable
due date will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement,
justifying FLAMESBURN.COM’s immediate suspension of
its performance of the Services and/or termination of this
Agreement. You are responsible for any fees associated with
reinstated of Services. Any such termination would not relieve
you from paying past due fees plus interest. In the event
of collection enforcement, you will be liable for any costs
associated with such collection, including, without limitation,
legal fees, court costs and collection agency fees.

a form requiring no additional manipulation by FLAMESBURN.COM.
FLAMESBURN.COM will make no effort to validate any of this
information for content, correctness or usability. In the
event that your material is not "server-ready",
FLAMESBURN.COM has the option at any time to reject this

of the material and afford you the opportunity to amend

hereunder will not exceed the bandwidth, storage and E-mail
usage limits set out in the Site for the Services ordered
by you . If you use any bandwidth or storage space in excess

Domain
Names. As part of the Services, you will provide FLAMESBURN.COM

does not violate any registration services' policies, or
any law or regulation. You agree to promptly reimburse FLAMESBURN.COM
for any fees paid by FLAMESBURN.COM to a registrar or another
registration services with respect to the registration and
maintenance of such domain name(s). In the event of any
dispute or cause of action arising out of or related to
your domain name used in connection with the Services, upon

alternative domain name chosen by you. You agree to be bound
by the terms of the registrar then current domain name policy
and/or the policies of the national DNS registration authorities
to which you become subject upon registration of a domain
name. The inability to use a domain name shall not entitle
you to a refund by FLAMESBURN.COM of any fees paid with

In the event you received a "Free Domain Name Registration"
offer when you signed up for the Services, and you terminate
the Services within one year of such domain name registration,
you agree to immediately pay FLAMESBURN.COM the full retail
price for such domain name registration in effect when such
domain name was registered, in addition to any other fees
for early termination described herein. There is no charge
for indefinite parking of domains on FLAMESBURN.COM servers
or to transfer to another service provider. However, in
the event a domain that was registered is transferred to
another service provider, and requires manual intervention
by our support staff to complete the transfer, there will
be an administrative transfer cost charged for each domain
plus applicable taxes. Domain name payments are non-refundable.
Once a domain name is registered, the WHOIS database stores
the information and is kept there for a period of one year,
until the date of renewal. Payment will NOT be credited
back. In the event there is a misspelling of a domain name,
while being registered online, you as the customer must
register the correct spelling of that name. There are NO
refunds issued for misspelled domain names.
