3. SERVICES
(a) Description of Service. Silverland provides the registered user with secure access to the Internet via an encrypted tunnel terminating at Silverland's secure gateway location(s), regardless of the connecting service provider's network infrastructure (wireless or wired), from any Web browser. Silverland makes the Silverland Service available under a number of different subscription plans. Please confirm that the plan for which You are registering meets Your needs by reviewing the "product information pages."
(b) Fees and Payments. You can always find the current Subscription Fees and charges posted under My Account on the Silverland Web site. Your subscription will continue and renew automatically unless terminated by Silverland or until You notify Silverland of Your decision to change Your subscription renewal. For cancellation instructions, please see our Support page. If there are any annual, monthly or similar periodic fees for Your subscription, these fees will be billed automatically to the credit card designated during the registration process for Silverland-Hosting.com, or subsequently designated to Silverland at the start of the subscription period and at the start of each renewal period, unless You terminate Your subscription before the relevant period begins. You agree to pay or have paid all fees and charges incurred in connection with Your subscription for Silverland-Hosting.com (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. All fees and charges are nonrefundable. Silverland may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges, by giving You notice in advance. All fees and charges incurred in connection with Your user name and password will be billed to the credit card designated during the registration process for Silverland-Hostingcom or subsequently designated to Silverland. You also are responsible for any fees or charges incurred to access Silverland-Hosting.com through an Internet access provider or other third party service. YOU, AND NOT Silverland, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY, WHICH WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU.

(c) Credit Cards and PayPal. As a condition to your right to use the Service, You must provide us with a valid PayPal account or credit card number belonging to you or your company with available credit sufficient to pay the applicable Service Fees. In the event that you cancel your credit card or PayPal account or it is otherwise terminated, you must immediately provide us with a new valid credit card or PayPal account number. You authorize Silverland, from time to time, to undertake steps to determine whether the credit card number or PayPal account you have provided to us is valid. In the event that you do not provide us with a current valid credit card number or PayPal account with sufficient credit upon request during the effective period of this Agreement, you will be in violation of this Agreement, and we may terminate this Agreement with You. In the event that you provide us with a debit card number instead of a credit card number, you authorize us to make all charges described in this Agreement to your debit card account.
(d) Trial Offers, Coupons, Credits and Special Offers. Silverland reserves the right to discontinue or modify coupons, credits and special promotional offers at our discretion. The Free Trial offer associated with Silverland Personal entitles new, registered subscribers to a one-time/per-person, free trial usage of the service. Attempts to abuse the free trial offer by signing up with multiple accounts for the same person may result in forfeiture of the free trial and an immediate charge to the credit card provided during registration. Free Trial terms vary by promotional offer. At the end of the trial period, You will be automatically subscribed and we will bill your credit card for the fees to the Service plan You selected at registration or to a default Service plan for trial subscribers selected by Silverland. If You wish to terminate the trial and do not wish to subscribe to a plan, You must cancel before the end of your trial period. For cancellation instructions, please see our Support page.
