VIII. Fees & Additional Information

A Client of EBC agrees to pay all fees and prices in full that are advertised on www.ebusinesscomplete.com and ebusinesscomplete.com. In addition, a Client understands that Support for a website receiving Hosting Services from EBC, costs $55/hour after the client has used up the 1 free hour of support that comes with all EBC Hosting Services accounts every month.

A Client of EBC that is receiving Hosting Services, including without limitation, web site hosting services, a web site builder product/service, and/or a web store builder product/service must contact EBC if Client desires to change billing information. A Client of EBC must keep their billing information with EBC up to date. EBC will bill the Client via the most up to date billing information the Client gave to EBC. All clients of EBC are expected to pay in advance via check or money order or pay in advance via Visa, Mastercard or Discover.

If a client orders additional Web Site Design services from EBC after an Order is completed the Client understands that they must pay $55/hour to EBC for all services rendered by EBC.

A Client of EBC understands that some specialized forms of Web Site Design, especially backend Web Site Design can cost as much as $150/hour. However, a client must be informed of a charge greater than $55/hour in writing, in advance of a project beginning.

If a Web Site Design Order takes more hours than given in the initial quote, EBC can not charge Client additional fees for the first 10 hours of additional work, so as long as EBC has failed to complete the order as stipulated in the contract, otherwise EBC can charge Client $55/hour. After the first 10 hours of additional work, over the original estimate time quote, EBC can charge Client $55/hour for all additional services. The previous sentence can only be used to EBC’s advantage, when in EBC’s opinion the Client is stealing code from EBC, or if the Client has changed the Client's mind about what the Client wants in such a matter that it causes several hours of additional labor for EBC.

Visa/MasterCard business card transactions and manually keyed foreign card transactions will always be charged the "Non Qualified Rate." Pricing and rules are subject to change as the AUP and Terms of Service of EBC are modified. The change takes effect as soon as the new AUP and Terms of Service of EBC are posted on this website. In addition, pricing and rules are subject to change as agreed to by a Partner of EBC and Referral of EBC.

All Merchant Services agreements will entail a monthly minimum fee unless explicity stated otherwise.

Clients of EBC that order Merchant Services through EBC are only guaranteed the pricing and features in their proposal for website design/development services if they successfully fill out a North American Bancard Merchant Application and are accepted as a Merchant of North American Bancard. Client agrees to the pricing and terms which will be stated in their North American Bancard Merchant Application. If Client is rejected by North American Bancard, Client and EBC must renegotiate and replan their eCommerce integration pricing and time line. No funds paid to EBC will be refunded if Client fails to apply and/or be accepted as a Merchant of North American Bancard. Instead, Client and EBC must renegotiate and replan their eCommerce integration pricing and time line. The pricing and time line for completion given by EBC to Client shall remain the same or increase, even if features in the Order decrease. Client agrees to complete the Order with EBC and pay EBC a minimum of all funds due in the Order.

EBC can not be held liable or responsible for delays in a Order due to Client's hosting setup, lack of communication, slow communication, miscommunication, and/or changing of objectives in the course of a project.

The credit will be put toward the Client’s next month’s hosting fees.
