Any account that is idle for more than 20 minutes may have their connection terminated by KWOM for that session. All accounts must have an active authorized credit card which will be charged for services when due, without future notice, at the billing interval you have chosen. Should an authorized user decide to change his or her billing contract or discontinue service, it is the authorized user's responsibility to contact KWOM for billing changes or send written notification of intent to cancel 30 days prior to your cancellation date.

If KWOM does not receive payment in full from your card issuer or authorized representative, user agrees to pay all amounts due upon demand or notice from KWOM. Failure to pay your account when due will cause your on-line access account to be terminated immediately.
