Such notice will not affect charges submitted before On-Line reasonably could act on your notice. If you have any question regarding any charges that have been applied to your account, you must contact On-Line’s Customer Service Department within 30 days of the charge date. Failure to use your account will not be deemed a basis for refusing to pay any charges submitted by On-Line in accordance with this Agreement.  On-Line reserves the right to suspend or terminate your On-Line account without notice upon rejection of any card charges or if your bank or card issuer (or its agent or affiliate) seeks return of payments previously made to On-Line when On-Line believes you are liable for the charge. Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal rights or remedies available to On-Line.
