V. CHARGES / BILLING
A. Agreement to Pay. By completing the registration process,
you authorize 411-SONG to charge the appropriate fees to your designated credit
card or directly to your mobile telephone invoice, as selected by you. If any
of your billing information changes (e.g., new credit card number, new address
or email address, new phone number or service, etc.), you must update that
information in the "My Account" area of the 411-SONG Website. If you cancel
your account or subscription for any reason, 411-SONG will not refund any of
your fees paid to date.
If for any reason, your credit card company refuses to pay the amount billed, or
in the event that your mobile telephone service refuses to pay, you agree that
we may, at our option, immediately suspend or terminate this Agreement and
require you to pay such amount by other means acceptable to us. We may charge a
fee for reinstatement of suspended or terminated accounts. You agree that until
your subscription to the Service is terminated, you will continue to accrue
charges for which you remain responsible, even if you do not use the Service.

owing, you agree to reimburse us for all expenses incurred to recover sums due,
including attorneys' fees and other legal expenses.
B. Right to Change Fees. All fees are subject to change upon
notice from 411-SONG. 411-SONG will provide you with reasonable notice of such

subscription and/or your account.
