1. THE SERVICES
Central Systems & Technologies will provide you with

respect to free-of-charge Service Plans, the fees
referred to in this Agreement will be equal to zero
dollars ($0.00). Descriptions of each Service, and
the various Service Plans that are available for
each Service, are available on Central Systems &
Technologies website.
You may upgrade to a higher Service Plan, if

Agreement by completing and submitting Central
Systems & Technologies then-current upgrade request
form. Upon any such upgrade, you agree to pay the
increased fees for that Service Plan in accordance
with this Agreement. Upgrade pricing for the
subscription period in which the upgrade occurs will
be prorated in proportion to the number of days
remaining in that subscription period at the time
the upgrade becomes effective.

modify, enhance, or supplement the Services at any
time in its sole discretion, provided that those
modifications do not materially and adversely affect

Technologies encourages Customer to first contact
Central Systems & Technologies Customer Service to

(15) days after such notification. If you do not
agree to any changes posted by Central Systems &
Technologies in accordance with this Section, you

Technologies web pages applicable to a given
Service, each Service will be provided and billed on

beginning of the activation of the given Service.
Subscriptions will NOT automatically renew. You will
be notified of the date when your service contract
will expire (for paid services). It is your
responsibility to renew the service before the

for the next contract cycle. If payment is not
received by the expiration date, your service will
be updated to a free service.
At any time after activation of a Service, either
you or Central Systems & Technologies may cancel
that Service (or Central Systems & Technologies may
discontinue the Service completely) by providing
written notice to the other party, in which case the
Service will terminate on the date specified in the
cancellation notice. If no date is specified, the
Service will terminate at the end of the
then-current billing period (for paid Services) or
calendar month (for free Services). Central Systems
& Technologies also reserves the right to cancel any
individual Service immediately and without notice in
the event that you breach any provision of this
