If Client terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 4 hereunder, Client shall be responsible for any outstanding fees owed to Eastcoast I.T. and agrees to pay any and all fees incurred by Client. Because the Services are provided on a monthly basis, unless contract is in place, Client will be responsible for Service fees incurred each month regardless of when Client provides notice of termination.

If Client has retained the Services for one (1) year and has pre-paid Eastcoast I.T. for such Services, refunds will be issued for any unused full month month portions less one month of the Services upon Clients request.
