To access and use the Service, You must complete a registration process identified on the V-Technologies website for the Service by providing Us with current, complete, and accurate information as prompted by the applicable registration form, including logon credentials. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Your logon credentials and any other non-public account information. Furthermore, You are entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under Your Provider Account. You agree to notify V-Technologies immediately of any unauthorized use of Your account or any other breach of security.

SERVICE PRICING

V-Technologies offers different service plans including, without limitation, monthly service plans. You will be charged a service fee based on the plan selected by You in Your Provider Account. In addition, You are responsible for all variable and transactional costs of using the Service (including but not limited to: postage, fees for private carriers, package insurance, or other special services selected) in addition to Your applicable service fee. Such additional fees may be payable directly between You and the third-party service provider. Your recurring service fee will be calculated and billed based on the date You register and the terms of Your offer. If You have registered for a monthly billing plan, the monthly billing cycle ends each month after You register. For example, if You register on January 10th, the first billing cycle will end on February 10th, and the second billing cycle will end on March 10th. V-Technologies bills in advance (i.e., at the beginning of the applicable billing cycle). Therefore, if You cancel in the middle of a billing cycle, You will not be refunded for Your service fees and Your account will remain available for the rest of the month. If required by applicable law, You are responsible for the payment of all sales, use, VAT, or other taxes owed on products or taxable items utilized, regardless of whether such taxes are collected by V-Technologies at the time of purchase.
