Azurelink Billing Policy
Billing Notification
Azurelink invoices clients by email and receives payment for services by both credit card and check.
Updating Your Account Information
You must inform Azurelink of any changes to your customer information by sending an information request via email using our contact form. Web Hosting customers may log in to their online account and modify their contact information through our Client Area.This includes addresses, phone numbers, contact names, and most importantly your email address. All notices from Azurelink are sent via email. It is essential that you keep your information up-to-date. Disruptions in service could occur if your account information is not kept current.
Collection Procedures
If your account becomes overdue after the due date on the invoice the following will occur; you will receive a reminder via email that we have not received your payment and you will experience an interruption in service (FTP and other services) if payment is not received within 3 days of your past due date. Your account will then be turned over to our collection department and a reinstatement fee of $25 will be accessed to your account. If you experience an interruption in service due to nonpayment, you may contact collections at: 413-549-2020.
If you fail to pay for services rendered, when your account becomes more than 60 days past due, we will remove your data from our servers and your delinquency will be reported to the credit bureau. If we pursue any legal remedy and obtain judgement against you, we will enforce that judgement. If you pay and we receive notice of returned payment for any reason to include insufficient funds and/or fraud, we will charge you any associated collection costs to include attorney and collection fees.
Credit Card Payment
Azurelink accepts credit card payments through its online Client Area. .
If You Pay by Personal or Company Check
If you pay by personal or company check, you will be invoiced at the time of setup for new services, however these services will not be provisioned until we receive your payment. For the recurring amount due for existing services on your account, you will be invoiced on or about the first day of every month. Your payment is considered late after 15 days and your service will be suspended. Please ensure that we have your most recent contact information at all times. Azurelink will attempt to provide an email notice that your account is past due, however if your account is suspended for a balance due, you will be subject to a $25 reactivation fee. You must submit a reactivation form and possibly a secure form of payment to reestablish your service. Please mail payments to:

Disk Usage
If you require more disk space than the service plan you have chosen, additional disk space may be purchased in 10MB increments at the rate of $0.49 per MB.
Azurelink will notify you via the email address posted to your control panel if you are within 80% of your disk usage utilization. If you exceed your allotted disk space, you may be required to purchase additional space in order to restore all services for your account, or remove data to get your disk space utilization under your allotted amount. If you do not provide an email address in your Control Panel, you are in danger of not receiving this important email.
Billing Cycle
Azurelink offers a monthly billing cycle to all customers for most plans. Whether your billing cycle is quarterly, semi-annually, or annually your bill will recur on the 1st day of the month. For most plans, new services ordered will be pro-rated the first month. Azurelink does not pro-rate all plans, If you have billing questions, please submit a ticket to us via email.
