Payments

Renewal notices are emailed no later than seven (7) days before the actual renew date in your account.

If payment is not received within 7 days a late fee will be added. We reserves the right to change prices at any time, unless other terms have been agreed upon.

Your particular billing cycle corresponds to the contract length that was initially chosen at setup. Your account will automatically renew at this length unless canceled beforehand. There is no fee for canceled accounts that have been paid for yearly.

All annual payments are non-refundable once the 30-day money back guarantee has passed. The only time your annual plan will end is if your account does not comply with our terms of service/acceptable usage policy. Both monthly and annual payments are non-refundable if your account does not follow our terms of service/acceptable usage policy.

[i] you shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such cancellation and
[ii] We may, in our sole discretion, refund all pre-paid fees for basic hosting services for the full months remaining after the effectiveness of such cancellation (i.e. no partial month fees shall be refunded) less any setup fees, applicable taxes and any discount applied for prepayment, provided that you are not in breach of this Agreement.
