5. CHARGES. By electing to purchase subscription-based services, You warrant that all information You submit is true, legally valid and accurate (including without limitation Your credit card number(s), billing address and expiration date) and You agree to pay all subscription and additional usage fees You incur, plus all applicable taxes.

a. Payment of Your account balance and other applicable charges is due monthly five (5) business days prior to the due date and must be made by the valid credit card(s) designated by You. You must promptly notify the Company of changes to: (a) the account number or expiration date of Your designated credit card(s); (b) Your billing address; or (c) cancellation, theft or loss of Your designated card(s). Late payment may result in suspension of service and may be subject to a US$50 reinstatement fee. 

b. If payment for Your account is not received from the card issuer or its agents, You agree to pay all amounts due, including late payment fees and collection costs, upon demand. Each time you use the Service, or allow or cause the Service to be used, You agree and reaffirm that the Company is authorized to charge Your designated card(s). You agree that the Company may (at its option) accumulate charges incurred during Your monthly billing cycle and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each cycle, and that the Company may delay obtaining authorization from Your card issuer until submission of the accumulated charge(s). Opus reserves the right at any time to withhold any services provided under this Agreement (with or without notice) or to terminate the Agreement if fees are not paid by the end of the day they are due. Actual collection fees incurred by Opus, including but not limited to all attorney fees and court costs incurred, will be added to the unpaid balance. Additionally, You agree to pay Opus 1.5% interest per month on all amounts owing and not paid when due.

Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal rights or remedies available to the Company.

c. Your set up fees (if applicable) and recurring service fees are payable in advance and are non-refundable. You agree that the Company may submit charges for Your monthly service fee each month, without further authorization from You, unless You provide prior notice that You have terminated this authorization or wish to change Your designated credit card(s). Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on Your notice. (Note: the Company takes no responsibility for contacting You prior to charging Your designated credit card for Your recurring service fee.) If You have any question regarding any charges that have been applied to Your account, You must contact the Company’s Customer Service Department within 30 days of the charge date.

The Company reserves the right to bill subscribers for usage above and beyond the subscriber’s plan’s monthly minutes at the then prevailing rates.

You agree that the Company may submit these charges to Your credit card of record, without further notification or authorization from You. In the event Your account is terminated, the Company has the authority to charge Your credit card(s) of record for any additional usage fees You may have accrued while still an active subscriber. You may port your current toll-free number to us, with your current provider’s permission, but a one-time port fee may apply. Please contact customer service if you have any questions.

Incomplete and/or partial CMRA forms and related documents will not be accepted and may require client to resubmit. Additional fees may apply at that point.  Before mail may be received or any other location-related Services may be reserved or used, all persons for whom we handle mail, or who collects mail from the location, must provide us with a Government issued photo ID, plus one other form of acceptable identification, as specified in Form 1583. Any client that has reserved an Opus office location is required to provide proper identification and completed forms, no matter the country of origin in order to begin receiving mail at their new Opus location. Additional forms may be required to satisfy certain local or individual location needs. Some Domestic and International virtual office locations may require additional forms or details as part of overall compliance.

Mail will be handled according to instructions specified by the Client, and the Client will be responsible for all resulting forwarding and service charges. If Client elects to have mail or packages shipped or forwarded via Federal Express, United Parcel Service, DHL or any other overnight / express shipping methods, Client is obligated to provide his own shipping account to Opus to charge said services to. Any violation of USPS regulations may result in termination of Services by Opus, and may subject the violator to fines or imprisonment. If Opus has been instructed to forward mail, neither Opus nor its agents shall be responsible for any delay or loss of mail during the forwarding process. Each location has its own policies, but Opus may not accept any items exceeding 10 lbs in weight, 18″ in any dimension, or 1 cubic foot in volume, or if the item contains any dangerous, live or perishable goods, and Opus shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to return uncollected items or refuse to accept any quantity of items it considers unreasonable or unlawful.
