An Order is "Accepted" by Sidetrips when Sidetrips provisions Services in response to the Order and/or bills Customer for payment. Sidetrips will provide, and Customer will purchase and pay for, the Services specified in the Order for the service fees specified in the Order and the applicable Service Description (the "Service Fees"). The date that the Order is accepted is the Effective Date.

The Order will automatically renew unless the Order is earlier terminated in accordance with these Terms by either party giviing written notice to the other party of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to expiration of the then-current term. Account termination by customer can only be actuated by filling in the following Cancellation Form or by sending a request in writing to our mailing address. Accounts can not be canceled by phone under any circumstance for security reasons.

Sidetrips may terminate this Agreement (i) if the Services are prohibited by applicable law, or become impractical or unfeasible for any technical, legal or regulatory reason, by giving Customer as much prior notice as reasonably practicable or (ii) immediately by giving written notice to Customer, if Sidetrips determines in good faith that Customer’s use of the Customer Web site or the Customer Content violates the Acceptable Use Policy.

Upon termination of this Agreement customer shall each remain liable for any indebtedness or other liability theretofore arising under this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement and retention of pre-paid fees and charges shall be in addition to, and not be in lieu of, any other legal or equitable rights or remedies to which Sidetrips may be entitled.
