1. SERVICE
1.1 Term
Service is offered on a monthly basis for a term which begins on the date that Mex LD activates your Service and ends on the day before the same date in the following month. Subsequent terms of this Agreement automatically renew on a monthly basis without further action by you unless you give Mex LD written e-mail notice of non-renewal at least ten (10) days before the end of the monthly term in which the notice is given. You are purchasing the Service for full monthly terms, meaning that if you attempt to terminate Service prior to the end of a term, you will be responsible for the full term's charges to the end of the then-current term, including without limitation unbilled charges, plus a disconnect fee if applicable under the terms of this Agreement, all of which immediately become due, payable, and chargeable to your credit card. Expiration of the term or termination of Service does not excuse the Customer from paying all unpaid, accrued charges.

Violations of this Section 1.2.1 regarding International calls will likewise be retroactively billed at the then current published rates. You agree that any payment made to Mex LD pursuant to this section is made as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, because it would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain damages.

6.1 Billing
You must give us a valid credit card number when the Service is activated. If the card expires, you close your account or your billing address changes, or the card is cancelled and replaced owing to loss or theft, you must advise Mex LD the change in your credit card information. We will bill all charges monthly to your credit card, including but not limited to: monthly Service fees, deposits, applicable taxes, international usage charges, other service fees, etc.. Mex LD reserves the right to bill at more frequent intervals if the amount due at any time exceeds US$25.00.
6.1.1 "One Time Use" or Disposable Credit Cards
Mex LD strictly prohibits the use of "one time use" or disposable credit cards. If you use such a card to activate the Mex LD Service and such use results in Mex LD not being able to collect charges for the Service, you will be subject to a $500.00 fee as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, plus any reasonable in-house or outside counsel attorney's fees incurred by Mex LD to collect such unpaid charges and liquidated damages.
6.2 Billing Disputes
You must notify Mex LD in writing within seven (7) days after receiving your credit card statement or from the time funds are debited from any account you may have with us if you dispute any Mex LD charges on that statement or that have been debited from your Mex LD Master Account, or such dispute will be deemed waived. Notification of all billing disputes shall be sent to the following email address:
Billing@Mexld.com
6.3 Payment
Mex LD only accepts payments by credit card. Your initial use of the Service authorizes Mex LD to charge all amounts due Mex LD as stated in the Agreement on the credit card account number on file with Mex LD, or on any other credit card provided by Customer if the original card expires or is replaced. This authorization will remain valid until 30 days after Mex LD receives your written notice terminating Mex LD's authority to charge your credit card. Mex LD may terminate your Service at any time, in its sole discretion, if any charge to your credit card on file with Mex LD is declined or reversed, if your credit card expires and you have not provided Mex LD with a new valid and approved credit card, or in case of any other non-payment of account charges. Termination of Service for a declined or expired credit card, reversed charges or non-payment leaves you fully liable to Mex LD for all charges accrued before termination and for costs incurred by Mex LD to collect all monies owed by Customer, such as (but not limited to) collection costs and in house or outside attorneys' fees as defined is Section 1.2.1. Mex LD may make billing adjustments for the Service retroactively for a period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the date a Service is rendered if they are made within two (2) months of Mex LD's receipt of any invoice for the payment of additional fees and charges imposed by law.

Mex LD reserves the right to suspend or discontinue providing the Service generally, or to terminate your Service, at any time in its sole discretion.

If your Service is terminated or suspended for any stated reason, including without limitation violation of any terms of this Agreement or because of any improper use of our Service (such as, but not limited to, your attempts to hack, disrupt, or misuse the Service or your acts or omissions that violate any acceptable use policy of Mex LD or of a third party provider to which Mex LD is subject), you will be responsible for the full month's charges to the end of the current term, including without limitation unbilled charges, plus a disconnect fee if applicable, all of which immediately become due, payable and chargeable to your credit card.

8. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF BY A JUDGE, JURY, OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.
8.1 Mandatory Binding Arbitration
All disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement (directly and/or indirectly) and/or the Service (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal or equitable theory) must be resolved by final and binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator using the procedures described by this Section. If any portion of this Resolution of Disputes by Binding Arbitration Section is determined to be unenforceable, then the remainder shall be given full force and effect. The arbitration of any dispute shall be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's ("AAA") Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, as modified by this Agreement, which are in effect on the date a dispute is submitted to the AAA. To the extent that such procedures differ from this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern to the fullest extent permitted by law. You have the right to be represented by counsel in an arbitration. In conducting the arbitration and making any award, the arbitrator shall be bound by and strictly enforce the terms of this Agreement and may not limit, expand, or otherwise modify its terms.
NO DISPUTE MAY BE JOINED WITH ANOTHER LAWSUIT, OR IN AN ARBITRATION WITH A DISPUTE OF ANY OTHER PERSON, OR RESOLVED ON A CLASS WIDE BASIS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT AWARD DAMAGES THAT ARE BARRED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT AWARD PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR ATTORNEYS' FEES. YOU AND Mex LD BOTH WAIVE ANY CLAIMS FOR AN AWARD OF DAMAGES THAT ARE EXCLUDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. In the event that a dispute arises out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to its reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, regardless of whether in-house or outside counsel is employed. If in-house counsel is employed, billing shall be at the rate of $350.00 per hour and billed in six-minute increments.
8.2 Arbitration Information and Filing Procedure
Before you take a dispute to arbitration or to small claims court, you must first write to us at:
Mex LD
318 N. Carson Street #208
Carson City NV 89701-0000
and give us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. Similarly, before Mex LD takes a dispute to arbitration, we must first attempt to resolve it by contacting you. If the dispute cannot be satisfactorily resolved within thirty (30) days from the date you or Mex LD is notified by the other of a dispute, then either party may contact the AAA in writing and request arbitration of the dispute. Information about the arbitration process and the AAA's Arbitration Rules and its fees are available on the Internet at www.adr.org, or by contacting us at billing@Mexld.com. The arbitration will be based only on written submissions of the parties and the documents submitted to the AAA relating to the dispute, unless either party requests that the arbitration be conducted using the AAA's telephonic, online, or in-person procedures. Additional charges may apply for these procedures. Any in-person arbitration will be conducted at a location the AAA selects in Los Angeles County, Los Angeles, Ca . Arbitrations under this Agreement shall be confidential as permitted by federal law. However, by filing for arbitration, you may elect to relieve both parties to the arbitration of confidentiality obligations.
8.3 Time for Filing Claims
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the Agreement must be filed with the AAA within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

This Agreement and the relationship between you and Mex LD shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement and any modifications to it pursuant to terms hereunder (which may occur at any time and without notice), and the rates for Services found on Mex LD's website, constitute the entire agreement between you and Mex LD and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Mex LD and any and all prior or contemporaneous statements, understandings, writings, commitments, or representations concerning its subject matter.
11. SEVERABILITY
If any part of this Agreement is legally declared invalid or unenforceable, all other parts of this Agreement are still valid and enforceable. Such invalidity or non-enforceability will not invalidate or render unenforceable any other portion of this Agreement.
12. PRIVACY
Mex LD Service utilizes, in whole or in part, the public Internet and third party networks to transmit voice and other communications.

13. ASSIGNMENT
Mex LD may assign all or part of its rights or duties under the Agreement without notifying you. If we do that, we have no further obligation to you. You may not assign the Agreement or the Service without our prior written agreement.
14. NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS
No provision of this Agreement provides any person or entity not a party to this Agreement with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, or cause of action or creates any other third party beneficiary rights.
