Optional Automatic Renewal Payment — Terms and Agreement (Required for
By initialing below and establishing automatic renewal payments at a Post Office, I hereby authorize the U.S. Postal Service® (USPS®) to charge my credit card for the amount of my designated box size per USPS pricing on the scheduled interval I have selected (i.e., 3, 6, or 12 months). This charge could appear on my credit card statement as early as the 15th of the month prior to the due date. If I provided my email address, I understand that I will receive email notification at least 10 days prior to the actual credit card charge. I will also receive a payment due notice in my PO Box before the payment due date. I understand that I may cancel the automatic payment option any time after the initial application/payment process is complete during the business hours at the Post Office where my box is located. If I do not cancel by the 14th of the month prior to the next payment due date, I understand that the payment will be charged to my credit card. I understand that if the payment cannot be transacted due to incorrect or obsolete payment information or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of the account, or the bank or credit card company rejects/returns the payment request, my PO Box may be closed and any mail received after closure would be returned to the sender. If my PO Box is closed for nonpayment, I understand that I could be charged a late payment fee to reactivate my PO Box service. If there are any changes to my credit card number, billing address, or expiration date, I agree to notify the Post Office where my box is located of these changes. I understand that this agreement will remain in effect until I or USPS terminates the PO Box service. The USPS may receive updated credit card account information from the institution that issued the card identified for payment. If I decide to close my PO Box, I must visit the Post Office where my box is located during business hours. (See the PO Box refund policy for information on refunds.) The USPS may terminate my participation under this automatic payment agreement in the event I provide incorrect, false, or fraudulent account information or if I have any returned payment items.
