1. General Terms.
In
consideration of hosting services to be delivered,
Customer agrees to be bound by the following terms
and conditions:
1.1. Customer agrees to pay, in advance of each monthly service term, for hosting services to be rendered.
1.2. Customer agrees to be bound by the service term selected on the online order form or via applicable promotional codes that may require Customer to order ExcellentHost Enterprises’s service for a certain minimum period of time.
1.3. Customer agrees to a no-refund policy in advance. Setup fees and monthly web hosting service fees are non-refundable.
1.4. Non-Payment of services shall result in a 5-day notice of disconnection. All payment failures must be cured within 5 business days from invoice due date or account will be suspended. Account termination will result from invoices overdue for 30 days.
1.5. ExcellentHost Enterprises is not and shall not responsible for data integrity for any accounts that are terminated, disconnected, or interrupted because of Customer’s failure to pay for ExcellentHost Enterprises’s services.
1.6. Customers agree to pay all taxes applicable to your account.
2. Agreement for Services.
2.1. ExcellentHost Enterprises will provide, and Customer will purchase and pay for, the Web hosting services (the “Services”), according to the service fees specified in the Order for the applicable Service Description. Customer acknowledges that the service, and service fees have been communicated to the Customer, and that Customer is aware of all applicable charges as per the Agreement. Customer also understands that no promotional offers will apply to their individual service unless said promotional offers are specified in this Agreement.
3. Payment.
3.1. Establishment and provision of service is contingent upon receipt of payment from Customer to ExcellentHost Enterprises.
3.1.1. Customer must pay in full for the Services before ExcellentHost Enterprises begins to provide the Services to Customer. Invoices are generated ten (10) days before renewal date, and must be paid three (3) days after the invoice is generated. This billing policy ensures that the Customer's services are not terminated due to late payment, and therefore allow a time frame for overdue invoices. Invoices not paid during this period are subject to overdue fees of US$0.25/day, unless an explicit extension for the outstanding invoice(s) are communicated to our billing department. If invoices are not paid within the specified due dates, the package will be suspended and may have its service terminated on the day following the anniversary renewal date (NOT the invoice due date, thus the Customer receives full service for the period paid for). The customer agrees that if paying by PayPal Subscriptions, recurring billing will be billed and charged automatically on the date the invoice is generated. PayPal Subscription recurring billing is exempt from the early invoice policy described above.
3.1.2. Setup fees will be charged and are due at the time of the Customer’s initial request of the Services requiring setup.
3.2. Payment is due on the defined monthly recurring billing date of each month. Service will be interrupted on accounts that reach 5 days past due. Accounts that are not collectable by ExcellentHost Enterprises will be turned over to an outside agency for collection. If your account is turned over for collection, you agree to pay to ExcellentHost Enterprises a “Processing and Collection” Fee of not less than Fifty ($50.00) Dollars nor more than One Hundred Fifty ($150.00) Dollars.
4. Delinquent Accounts.
ExcellentHost Enterprises may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement upon failure of Customer to pay charges when due. Such termination or denial will not relieve Customer of responsibility for the payment of all accrued service fees, and any collection fees to which ExcellentHost Enterprises may be entitled under this Agreement or under applicable law.
5. Account Cancellation.
Customers may voluntarily cancel their account at
any time, for any reason or for no reason, by emaling
sales@excellenthost.com with subject “Cancellation
Request” with the username, password, domain
and full name of the account holder.
Once a Customer
has cancelled their account at least 2 days before
the renewal date, no more charges will be billed
to the account. Cancellations on or after renewal
will be charged renewal fees.
PayPal paying customers cancelling their paypal subscription payment does not
warrant cancellation of service. All cancellations must go through the cancellation
email request.
Customer can terminate their account for any reason or for no reason. However,
Customer understands and agrees that ExcellentHost Enterprises does not provide
pro-rated or any other kinds of refunds on cancellations. All fees Customer
has paid shall be nonrefundable.
6. Refunds and Disputes.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: EXCEPT AS EXPLICITLY PROVIDED
IN THIS SECTION 6, ALL PAYMENTS TO ExcellentHost Enterprises
ARE NONREFUNDABLE.
All payments to ExcellentHost Enterprises are nonrefundable. This includes
any setup fees and monthly fees regardless of usage. All billing disputes must
be reported within fifteen (15) days of the time the dispute occurred. Disputed
charges to your credit card issuer, also known as chargebacks, which, in ExcellentHost
Communications Inc's sole discretion, are invalid under the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, will result in service interruption, and reconnection fees
to restore the desired service.
Without waiving any of its other rights under this Agreement, ExcellentHost Enterprises,
Inc. offers to its Customers a conditional ten (10)-day money-back guarantee on fees for hosting
services only (the “10-Day Guarantee”). If for any reason you cancel
your account by filling in the account cancellation form and submitting it
to ExcellentHost Enterprises, within ten (10) days of the beginning
of your service, ExcellentHost Enterprises will refund your money with
no questions asked; provided, however, that you have never previously obtained
a refund under the 10-Day Guarantee. If you have ever previously obtained a
refund under the 10-Day Guarantee, your account will be canceled, but no money
will be refunded to you.
Please note that the amount refunded to you will be the amount you paid for
hosting services only, and will not include any of the following fees:
The 10-Day Guarantee is subject to all of the following limitations:
Changes to your service, including, but not limited to, adding new services, removing services, or changing the type of hosting plan you have do NOT make you eligible for an additional 30-Day Guarantee. The 10-Day Guarantee applies to your first order of Web hosting services from ExcellentHost Enterprises and does not apply to any changes to your service at any time.
7. Customer agrees not to engage in any activity that violates any international, foreign, federal, state, or local laws applicable to the service terms described in this Agreement.
