The use of the Site, including the provision of BILL ME RIGHT Services (as defined below) is subject to the following terms and conditions (these “Terms and Condition”). Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully. By using this Site or using the BILL ME RIGHT Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms and Conditions, our Privacy Policy, which is considered a part of these Terms and Conditions, as well as any other terms, guidelines or rules that apply to any portion of this Site, without limitation or qualification. The materials contained in this Site are protected by applicable copyright and trade mark law.

Terms and Conditions, please contact us at support@billmeright.com.
1. Our Bill Reduction Service
BILL ME RIGHT is experienced as a consultant to individuals, companies and organizations wishing to lower their monthly bills in the general areas of, but not limited to the following services: wireless service, cable/satellite TV, internet, electricity and gas, gym memberships, satellite radio and alarm services.
Signing up with our service by submitting personal information and monthly billing information authorizes BILL ME RIGHT and all authorized BILL ME RIGHT agents to negotiate with your monthly service providers as an authorized agent on your behalf in an effort to lower your monthly service provider bills (the “BILL ME RIGHT Services”). By using the BILL ME RIGHT Services, you acknowledge and permit BILL ME RIGHT to utilize the information provided to BILL ME RIGHT to negotiate billing rates with your service providers.
BILL ME RIGHT does not guarantee that savings will be achieved during each negotiation.
Once we enter into negotiations, you authorize and consent to all discounts BILL ME RIGHT obtains if the negotiation does not reduce the quality of your existing service. By default, you consent to BILL ME RIGHT improving the quality of your service if it does not increase your cost of service. This means that you explicitly authorize BILL ME RIGHT to make changes on your respective account(s).
It is your responsibility to communicate all desired restrictions for a negotiation prior to the start of the negotiation. If you do not communicate any such restrictions, it is BILL ME RIGHT’s right to assume there are no restrictions. For example, if you are planning on switching providers, you must communicate this fact to your Savings Officer and mention your anticipated termination date with a service provider prior to the start of the negotiation. If you do not communicate your intentions to switch providers, then you are responsible for the fee associated with any savings earned past this anticipated termination date. If your anticipated termination date is within a year time, then BILL ME RIGHT has the right to refuse to work on the bill.
​
2. Your Information and Participation
​
You agree to provide us accurate and current information, including but not limited to, name, address, phone number, email address, and any passcodes or other verification information required by service providers to negotiate on your behalf. Your personal information will only be used for the purposes set forth in our Privacy Policy.
BILL ME RIGHT must receive copies of your monthly bill statements with the necessary information required to negotiate discounts on your behalf, such as account number and outline of services/features. You may send this information to BILL ME RIGHT through our Site, email, fax or mail; or provide information for your designated BILL ME RIGHT savings representative (your “Savings Adviser”) to obtain statements directly from your provider.
Some service providers require that you verbally authorize your Savings Adviser to speak on your behalf. If this is required as a security measure by your service provider, we won’t be able to negotiate savings on your behalf until you provide your consent in accordance with the method required by the service provider.
The person who signs up with BILL ME RIGHT is the person responsible for any and all charges owed to BILL ME RIGHT, regardless of the name on the service provider statement. You may submit bills under the name of a third party, such as a spouse, family member, friend or roommate; however you are responsible for paying fees to BILL ME RIGHT.
3. Costs to You
There is no up-front cost to use BILL ME RIGHT.
a) If BILL ME RIGHT saves you money, you agree to pay BILL ME RIGHT 50% of the savings. By way of example, if we save you $1000 on your Cable TV Bill, our fees would be $500. We cap the savings measurement period at 2 years maximum. WE DO NOT CHARGE ANY FEES FOR FREE DIRECTV SUNDAY
TICKET/HBO/SHOWTIME SUBSCRIPTIONS.
​
b) If BILL ME RIGHT does not save you money, there is no charge to you.
​
4. Billing Process
​
BILL ME RIGHT will invoice you for 40% of the savings achieved. Payment plans are available for durations of 2 to 6 months for a one time charge of $9 to setup the plan. The $9 fee only applies to payment plans and is separate from saving fees.
​
Online Billing
BILL ME RIGHT uses an online billing system. You will receive an invoice via email with a PDF statement attached. We accept online payments via credit card through Stripe.
Late Fees and Returned Payments
Payment is due within 7 days of the invoice date. If payment is not received within 15 days, we may charge you a late fee of $25 per month.
If your payment is returned or otherwise rejected for non-sufficient funds, fraud, or any reason, you will be responsible for paying any applicable fees, including any late fees resulting from the rejected payment.
​
Non-payment and Collections
​
If you do not pay BILL ME RIGHT according to these Terms and Conditions, we may charge you a late fee of $25 per month. We also reserve the right to demand payment in full if you are delinquent in paying monthly.
​
We reserve the right to turn delinquent accounts over to collection agencies and/or report overdue balances to credit bureaus, including Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. If we must engage a collection agency or report your debt to credit bureau(s), we may charge a processing fee of $25 or more, subject to the maximum allowed by law.
If BILL ME RIGHT accepts late or partial payments, we do not waive our right to collect all amounts owed.
Your Savings
Your savings, if any, should appear on your service provider statements as outlined by your Savings Advisor.
a) If the savings do not appear as discussed, you must notify BILL ME RIGHT within thirty (30) days of receiving your BILL ME RIGHT invoice. We will investigate with the service provider and attempt to rectify any mistake. If the savings are not going to appear as originally expected, BILL ME RIGHT will update its invoice accordingly.
b) If you do not notify BILL ME RIGHT within the thirty (30) day period referenced in sub-clause (a) above, it is assumed the savings appear as discussed and you will owe any applicable fees.
Cancellation of Provider Services
You must notify BILL ME RIGHT in writing no later than thirty (30) days after your provider services are cancelled in order to receive a pro-rata credit for the days remaining in the month in which your services are cancelled. If you cancel your service before all savings for a given billing period appear on your bill(s), you must send documentation within thirty (30)days after such cancellation takes effect showing the last date of service, and BILL ME RIGHT will adjust your invoice on a pro-rata basis taking into account the date of service cancellation. If you have paid in advance, we will issue you a credit to use toward future savings with BILL ME RIGHT.
​
Chargebacks and Complaints
If you are unsatisfied with BILL ME RIGHT services for any reason, you must contact BILL ME RIGHT in writing, describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances which are the basis for such dissatisfaction, and work with BILL ME RIGHT in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to allow us to seek to rectify the situation before attempting a chargeback or making a complaint about BILL ME RIGHT. Any fees incurred because of a chargeback may be assessed to you. You may not attempt a chargeback or seek any other redress from BILL ME RIGHT thirty (30) days or more after the date of BILL ME RIGHT’s invoice for the underlying services.
Other
Further, if you submit a historic bill that has a different rate than what you are currently paying with your provider, we will charge our fees based on actual charges, not historic bills. If you ask us to negotiate a bill just before your discounted rate is about to expire, our fee will be calculated on the naturally increased rate that would be charged after the discount period ends, not the soon to be expired discounted rate. Our fees will always be based on the comparison between the savings we earned and the price your service provider would charge if we did not negotiate a better rate on your behalf.
If you request for BILL ME RIGHT to cancel a service instead of negotiate a better rate, we charge a flat rate of $25 per bill. If you request for us to cancel a portion of your service, and negotiate the remaining parts of your bill, our fee will be based off of your entire original bill. If you direct us to increase your level of service with your provider, our fee will be calculated on the new non-discounted rate of that increased service, instead of the historic rate you were paying. This rule does not apply if you authorize (but do not require) BILL ME RIGHT to increase your level of service, as sometimes service improvements are a perk of our negotiations.
The invoice is sent via email when negotiations have been completed. We reserve the right to send intermittent invoices. BILL ME RIGHT does try to notify its customers about late payments through email and text messages. All clients are automatically enrolled in the text alerts. You have the right to opt out of this program, by communicating in writing to your BILL ME RIGHT representative your desire to opt out of the program. BILL ME RIGHT may decide to accept late or incomplete payments. In accepting such payments, BILL ME RIGHT in no way waives its right to collect the remaining unpaid balance. If BILL ME RIGHT offers you a payment structure so that full payment is not required up front, we reserve the right to autocharge your credit card.
5. Cancellation of BILL ME RIGHT Services
​
You may discontinue the BILL ME RIGHT Services for convenience at any time after the end of the first six (6) months of the Contract Term; to cancel your account, you must notify your Savings Advisor via email. The cancellation of the services with BILL ME RIGHT will take effect at the beginning of BILL ME RIGHT’s next full billing cycle after the date your cancellation request is received by your Savings Advisor. However, you will be responsible for paying any outstanding balance and/or applicable fees for savings already achieved. Note that a service provider cancelling your service will be treated in the same manner as if you have terminated the BILL ME RIGHT Service as it relates to that service provider.
BILL ME RIGHT reserves the right to cancel your account at any time for any reason, and request payment in full for services rendered prior to the date of cancellation.
6. Limitation of Liability & Indemnification
BILL ME RIGHT shall in no event be liable or responsible for any damages to you or to any third party, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), statute or any other legal theory, or otherwise, for any direct, indirect, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary, liquidated or punitive damages, arising in whole or in part from your access to our Sites and/or BILL ME RIGHT Services.
