Section 11b, d, j - Pricing and Payment

(b) Plans with Minimum Terms. If you subscribe to a Bundled Services plan with a term commitment, you agree to maintain such services for the minimum term of that plan. At the end of your term, you may be given the option to select a new Bundled Services plan. If you do not select a new Bundled Services plan, your account will automatically convert to a month-to-month plan at a monthly fee that may be higher than your current rate. If you subscribe to a new Bundled Services plan, the terms of that plan will apply. Certain charges such as taxes and other governmental fees, franchise fees, regional sports network fees, and broadcast fees, may change during the term of your plan.

(d) Late Fees. If we don't get your payment on time, we will charge you a late fee of up to 1.5 percent per month (18 percent per year) on the unpaid balance, or a flat $9 per month, whichever is greater, if allowed by law in the state of your billing address. The fees that are applicable to your account are displayed on your monthly bill. If any portion of your bill is not paid by the due date, Verizon may also terminate or suspend your Service without notice. If Verizon uses a collection agency or legal action to recover monies due, you agree to reimburse us for all expenses we incur to recover such monies, including attorneys' fees. If you fail to pay on time and Verizon refers your account(s) to a third party for collection, a collection fee will be assessed and will be due at the time of the referral to the third party. The fee will be calculated at the maximum percentage permitted by applicable law, not to exceed 18 percent.
