Refunds on larger contract values will be issued for any unused full month portions less one month of the Services upon Clients request. Therefore, if the Client’s contract is cancelled at any point during the one (1) year term, the Client will be entitled to a refund for all but one of the full months remaining after notice given by the 25th of the preceding month (provided the Contract Value is greater than $300). - Late payments.
