This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, threatening or obscene material, or material protected by trade secret.
  • Corasen may terminate any Customer's account without notice if, in the sole judgment of Corasen management, it is determined that the account is being used in a manner contrary to its intended use as defined by this agreement. Upon termination, the balance of any prepaid monies will be refunded within 30 days.


Pricing for Services

  • Corasen reserves the right to modify its prices and/or services at any time. Corasen will provide notice of any changes to its customers by posting notice on the Corasen website. It is the responsibility of the Customer to remain abreast of such notices by browsing the appropriate section of the Corasen website regularly.
  • Price changes will take effect and will be charged to the customer in the billing cycle immediately following the month in which the notice is posted.
  • Accounts must be paid in advance and may be billed

    a) Monthly: Corasen must be authorised to automatically debit a bank account or credit card or be provided with post-dated cheques covering three months of service.

    b) Quarterly: payment is due within 15 days of the date of invoice.

    c) Bi-Annually: payment is due within 15 days of the date of invoice.

    d) Annually: payment is due within 15 days of the date of invoice.
  • Accounts are in default if payment is not received within 30 days of the date of the invoice. If payment is returned to Corasen N.S.F., the customer is immediately in default and subject to an administration fee in the amount of $30.00, in addition to any charges the customer's bank may have levied.
  • Accounts unpaid after 30 days from the date of the invoice may have their service suspended. Such interruption does not relieve the customer from paying the outstanding account charges. Only a written request to terminate service relieves the subscriber of the obligation to pay the monthly account charge.

    a) An act of default accelerates payments to be due immediately, as credit is no longer being extended. Corasen reserves the right to demand advance payment before setting up any account.

    b) Accounts in default are subject to a late payment charge of $30.00 and interest will be charged at the rate of 25% per annum on any outstanding balance.
