Current Billing Policies

  1. You understand that your CoastNet account is pre-paid. As such, you must have a credit with CSP Internet before you will be renewed for an additional subscription. Failure to have appropriate funds on account with CSP Internet will result in the termination of your service. There are no exceptions to this policy.

  2. You understand that you will be notified only by e-mail of your account expiry approaching. This notice is a courtesy to you and will generally arrive 7 days before your account is due to expire or when you have reached 70% of hours allotted as part of your plan. It is your responsibility to read any informational e-mail messages that may be sent to you from CSP Internet.

  3. If you wish to have your credit card automatically charged to ensure you have a credit with us, you understand that we will be doing this up to 3 days in advance of your account renewal date. If you wish to cancel your subscription, you must provide at least 5 business days written notice (email, fax or post) to properly process your request. Failure on your part to give adequate notice will normally result in your account being renewed.

  4. We currently accept VISA, Mastercard, debit cards, on-line bank payment, cheques, and cash for payment. If your cheque is returned to us from our bank (NSF or otherwise) we will charge you a handling fee and we may disallow the use of cheques as valid payment for your account. Credit card fraud is a serious offence. If you feel the need to pass us a fraudulent card, be aware that we and the issuing bank will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

  5. There are no refunds for CoastNet service.

  6. If your account is terminated due to lack of credit with us, your e-mail will be kept active for a maximum of 10 days. Failure to renew your account subscription within 10 days of termination may result in the complete deletion of your account and all related information from our systems.

  7. You understand and accept these terms and conditions and agree to pay for these services according to the billing policies currently in effect or as may be in effect from time to time. CSP Internet reserves the right to change these terms and conditions without notice. Continued use of your account constitutes acceptance of these changes. Updates to the terms and conditions can be found on the CoastNet web site at the following URL: www.coastnet.com/terms.html.
    CSP Internet reserves the right to terminate your account should you breach any of the general terms and conditions outlined in this document.
