If payment in full is not received by mail.com from the provider of your Payment Account or its agents, you agree to pay all amounts due from you for your Services without demand by mail.com. Termination of your account shall not relieve you of any obligation to pay any accrued fees or charges. 

3.2. In addition, certain mail.com Services may be subject to set-up, service, or other fees, and by registering for such mail.com Services you authorize mail.com to debit your Payment Account for any and all such fees. 

3.3. Your credit or debit card issuer, directly or through third-party service providers, may provide mail.com with updated credit card numbers, expiration dates, or other information which may be used to renew services or make payments under this Agreement. Should mail.com choose, in its sole discretion, to participate in such auto-update programs, you agree that mail.com may share your Payment Account information with such third-party providers and may update Your Payment Account with information provided through such services. You authorize any and all charges to your Payment Account using such updated information, whether or not you or mail.com have prior notice of same. Mail.com cannot guarantee that your Payment Account will be updated, and you acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to keep your payment information current and up-to-date at all times and that you shall be liable to mail.com for your failure to do so, including for any charges that mail.com may incur as a result of your failure to keep your payment information current. mail.com shall have no liability for declined payments or incomplete or out-of-date Payment Account information.

3.6. Changes to your Services, including downgrades by you or termination of your Premium Services, may result in loss of your Data, features, or a reduction in the amount of available capacity for your Data provided by the mail.com Services. To the extent you receive a special reduced price as part of a bundled offer, the special price shall only apply as long as all of the bundled services remain; accordingly, canceling any one of the bundled services will result in a higher price for each of the remaining services unless it was arranged differently in the special offer. The amount charged to your Payment Account on the next billing cycle will be automatically updated to reflect any changes to the subscription, including upgrades or downgrades or the cancellation of bundled services. 

3.7. You shall pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees and costs, in the event any invoice requires collection efforts as determined in mail.com’s sole discretion.

Orders from International Customers will not be accepted unless the country provided in the contact information matches that on file for the Payment Account.

Games
We make online games from various partners available to customers via https://games.mail.com. End customers can register with the respective cooperation partners and play the games free of charge. The customer is redirected to the partner's page (games open in a new tab or browser window). During the registration process, the customer must agree to the terms and conditions and data protection declarations of the respective partner. This takes place exclusively on the side of the respective partner. In the case of games without registration, the partner's data protection provisions and terms and conditions are displayed directly when the partner page is called up. By registering with one of the cooperation partners, the end customer enters into a contractual relationship exclusively with this external partner.
In order to be able to present you the online games offer of our partners, pseudonymized usage data is collected. However, these do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person, they only give us information about whether our users were able to find their way around our website or what could be improved.
