BILLING
Call times for each call are rounded up to
the next whole minute and billed in full minute increments. Per
call charges are rounded up to the next whole cent. All calls
for which we receive answer supervision shall incur a minimum
one-minute charge. TALCOMS INC. relies on answer supervision to
determine whether and when a call has been answered. Answer
supervision is a signal sent by the carrier connecting the call
to indicate the start of call. Answer supervision is generally
received when a call is answered; however, answer supervision
may also be generated by voicemail systems, private branch
exchanges, and interexchange switching equipment. Where no
answer supervision is received, we will commence billing forty
(40) seconds following dial time unless the caller has
terminated the call. You must notify us in writing of any
disputed charges within sixty (60) days of the charges or you
will have waived your right to dispute the charges.
SERVICE CHARGES,
SURCHARGES AND CONNECTION FEES The
CallCharm calling card has no monthly service fee. There is no
connection fee charged at the time each call is made and answer
supervision is received.
