first monthly billing will occur at the time of registration;
thereafter, monthly billings will occur on that anniversary date.
End User is responsible for ensuring that Outdoors Unlimited (or its
billing agent) is able to successfully charge account and that all

to successfully charge End User's credit card, service will be
immediately deactivated. It is the End User's responsibility to call
customer service to provide valid credit card information in order to
reactivate service. Deactivated accounts will be deleted after 30
days. To use the service after account deletion, End User will
be required to re-register and provide valid credit card information.

advance of credit card expiration date to prevent an interruption
in service. Nevertheless, it is ultimately the End User's
responsibility to ensure that valid credit card information is on
file. Credit card transactions that fail due to credit card
expiration will result in immediate service deactivation. End User
must call customer service and provide valid credit card information
to reactivate service. Accounts that are not reactivated within 30
days will be deleted. In order to use the service after that time,
End User must re-register and provide valid credit card information.
