4. If there is an outstanding balance on an account and the customer tries to move their site to another company and not pay us, we reserve the right to intervene in the domain name transfer until said balance is paid in full.
    
5. No domain templates or host accounts will be approved or authorized while there is a balance remaining on the accounts.  Any email we receive from any registrar will be marked "declined" and returned as such.
    
6. Bounced check or credit card fee - $32.00
