By ordering the Services, you agree to pay the Fees in accordance with these Terms, the terms and conditions of your chosen payment plan, and other terms and conditions in force at the moment you order the Services. The Fees remain valid for as long as (i) they are featured on the Website or (ii) as communicated by us. The Fees are subject to a change with at least 30 calendar days prior notice to you (if you hold a service contract with us) or without notice (if you do not hold a service contract with us). If you conclude a service contract with us by means other than the Website, the Fees specified in the contract and the payment terms related thereto shall prevail.
2.2 Taxes. Unless indicated otherwise, the Fees include all applicable sale taxes (e.g. VAT), levies, and other duties.
