| Terms, Conditions and Acceptable Use Policy Compliant MD, Inc. dba CardiologyCoder.com (herein referred to as "CardiologyCoder.com") provides consulting and membership services to cardiology professionals to help increase efficiency in billing and coding reimbursement. CardiologyCoder.com has certain legal and ethical responsibilities regarding the use of its computer network and equipment involved with these services. CardiologyCoder.com's general policy is to act as a neutral provider of consulting and educational services. CardiologyCoder.com has specific ethical concerns regarding the use of its services detailed below. CardiologyCoder.com reserves the right to suspend or cancel a customer's membership to any or all services provided by CardiologyCoder.com should CardiologyCoder.com deem that the membership account has been inappropriately used, even for events that are not specifically outlined in this document. By acquiring and purchasing service from CardiologyCoder.com, you are bound to the terms and conditions stated within this online document (termsofuse.php). Specific Acceptable Use Policies Payment Policies All accounts are set up on a pre-pay basis. All pricing is guaranteed for the term of pre-payment. CardiologyCoder.com reserves the right to change prices at any time. Payment is due each anniversary year or period following the date the account was established. CardiologyCoder.com accepts credit cards, check, and money orders for yearly memberships. Customers who provide a credit card at the time of their order specifically grant us authorization to automatically charge that card for any and all membership and incidental fees pertaining to that account. Any user requested manual credit card transaction will be assessed a per-transaction processing fee of $2.50. If for any reason the card does not clear with the bank on three attempts, the account is subject to suspension. Any account not brought current within a week of email notice or exceeding this time frame in any way is subject to suspension. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time service was established, to the time that the customer properly executes a cancellation request. If you provide two (2) or more credit card numbers to CardiologyCoder.com, either one is considered viable for processing your membership fees if one or the other credit card is rejected for any reason. Cancellations and Refunds Customers can cancel their membership at any time. The customer’s account comes with our 30 day money-back guarantee which is only valid for the initial billing period. If you wish to cancel your account, you may do so by filling out the cancellation support request form, by support email, or by writing CardiologyCoder.com at 4812 Hickory Lake Lane, Matthews, NC 28105. These are the only methods we accept for cancellations. CardiologyCoder.com reserves the right to cancel membership at any time without notice for any reason that CardiologyCoder.com deems appropriate. All yearly membership fees paid in advance of cancellation will be pro-rated and refunded by CardiologyCoder.com if CardiologyCoder.com institutes its right of cancellation. If cancellation is caused by the customer's violation of these policies, then no refund is due. If a customer initiates cancellation and this cancellation is placed after the first 30 days of the initial billing 30 day money back grace period, then no refund is due. Each billing period is considered a contract that you are responsible for fulfilling. Consultation services are billed independently from CardiologyCoder.com membership accounts, and are processed either by check, money order, or credit card payment.
