The revised terms will become effective on the date BuffetMap.com posts such changes to its Web Site, except annual fee increases will become effective at the time your annual Agreement automatically renews. It is your obligation to check this Agreement regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes. Without limiting the foregoing, if BuffetMap.com determines in its sole discretion that the modification is material, it will notify you electronically via the email address associated with each account.

Advertiser shall deliver such notice at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of the next renewal term.
    3.

    1. Advertiser agrees to pay all applicable charges under this Agreement, including any applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity. If Advertiser disputes any charge made under this Agreement, Advertiser must notify BuffetMap.com in writing within sixty (60) days after any such charge; failure to so notify BuffetMap.com shall result in the waiver by Advertiser of any claim relating to any such disputed charge. Charges shall be calculated solely based on records maintained by BuffetMap.com. No other measurements or statistics of any kind shall be accepted by BuffetMap.com or have any effect under this Agreement.
    2. Fees: Advertiser agrees to pay all applicable charges under this Agreement, including any applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity. If Advertiser disputes any charge made under this Agreement, Advertiser must notify BuffetMap.com by sending a detailed notice of dispute to BuffetMap.com via email at: info@BuffetMap.com within ten (10) days of the charge; failure to so notify BuffetMap.com shall result in the waiver by Advertiser of any claim relating to any such disputed charge.
