Subscription Fees and any other related charges are posted
at http://www.turfcentric.com/gcs/pricing.
On the service commencement
date for each of the Services where you have enrolled as a User, you will be billed an amount
equal to all nonrecurring charges (“Service Initialization Fee”) and the
monthly recurring charges (“Subscription Fee”) for the first month of the
term. Thereafter, you will be charged on a monthly basis in advance for Software
Application Services to be provided for such month. Alternatively, you may
elect to be charged on a quarterly basis or yearly basis in advance for
Software Application Services to be provided for such quarter or year, if you
prefer such a payment term (“Payment Term”).
You will be required to either request that we invoice you on a monthly basis, in advance,
for the Subscription Fee, or provide us with a credit or charge card, from an
issuer which we currently accept, and to which we may bill the Subscription
Fee. If you elect the option of receiving invoices, you will be required to
provide requested information in order for us to establish an account for you.
The establishment of an account is subject to approval by us. Payment terms are
net due upon receipt without offset. If you provide a credit card, you will be
required to provide any other ancillary information required to process the
credit application or charge to your credit card, including the expiration
date, the name in which the credit card is registered, and the state in which
you reside. You warrant that the information provided by you for billing
purposes (whether through the invoice service or credit card) is true and
accurate. By providing this information, you will be authorizing us to charge
your credit card the Subscription Fee each month, in advance, until your
membership is terminated. All Subscription Fees are non-refundable.
We reserve the right to charge you on a pro rata basis for
any part of a calendar month to allow for subsequent invoices to be calculated
and paid on a calendar monthly basis. Any payment not received within thirty (30) days
of the invoice date will accrue interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1 ½%) per
month, or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower. If you are
delinquent in your payments, we may, upon written notice to you, modify the payment
terms to require full payment before the continued provision of Software Application
Services or require other assurances to secure your payment obligations hereunder.

similar fees now in force or enacted in the future imposed on the transaction, all
of which you will be responsible for, except for taxes based on our net income.
