Such notice will not affect charges submitted before Maropost reasonably could act on Your notice.

Each time You use the Services, allow or cause the Services to be used, You agree and reaffirm that Maropost is authorized to charge Your designated card.

Such notice will not affect charges submitted before Maropost reasonably could act on Your notice. If You have any questions regarding any charges that have been applied to Your account, You must contact Maropost’ Customer Support within 30 days of the charge date. Failure to use Your account will not be deemed a basis for refusing to pay any charges submitted by Maropost in accordance with this Agreement.

If You reside outside of Canada, the place of residency will be deemed not to be Canada unless Maropost is notified otherwise.

Unused allowances are not transferrable from month to month.
Payment of your Maropost account balance is due monthly and, unless you have a qualified business account, must be made by the credit card designated by you for Maropost use and transactions.

Each time you use the Services, allow or cause the Services to be used, you agree and reaffirm that Maropost is authorized to charge your designated card.

You agree that Maropost may (at its option) accumulate charges incurred during your monthly billing cycle and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each cycle, and that Maropost may delay obtaining authorization from your card issuer until submission of the accumulated charge(s). This means that accumulated charges may appear on the statement you receive from your card issuer.
You agree that Maropost may submit charges for your usage fees and recurring subscription fee each month or year, without further authorization from you, until you provide prior notice (in accordance with Maropost’ verification procedures, as may be established by Maropost from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated this authorization or wish to change your designated card. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before Maropost reasonably could act on your notice. If you have any questions regarding any charges that have been applied to your account, you must contact Maropost’ Customer Support within 30 days of the charge date.

All charges will be exclusive of value added (“VAT”), sales or other taxes, except as required by law. Canadian residents will be charged G.S.T. and P.S.T. as applicable. If the Customer resides outside of Canada, the place of residency will be deemed not to be Canada unless Maropost is notified otherwise.

Non-Canadian residents will be deemed not to have registered for G.S.T unless Maropost is notified otherwise.
Payments processed using our Commerce solution will be subject to a 0.5% fee per transaction (based on transaction value).
If you subscribed to a Contact Based Subscription Plan (“Contact Plan”) the subscription fees are based on the highest number of subscribers or contacts in your account at any time.
