which BlinkPro does not currently charge a fee) or billing methods at any time,
provided, however, that BlinkPro posts such modifications on the Site. BlinkPro
also has the right to collect applicable taxes and impose premium surcharges for some
areas of the Site and these surcharges may apply immediately after you register for the

outstanding balances if you cancel your account or if your account is terminated.

discrepancies.
