Suspension

Service Charges will continue to accrue during a suspension imposed by us.

You may suspend the Services at any time for a maximum of 11 months via Your Account. At the time you elect to suspend the Services you must elect a date for the suspension to end. No Service Charges will accrue during any such suspension however you must pay a fee equal to the Service Charges for a one month period.
