1. Services we provide
- Web hosting: cPanel hosting with email, and DNS-only hosting.
- Domain names: registration, renewal and transfer through our accredited registrar partner (Tucows/eNom).
- SSL certificates: free automatic SSL on every hosted site, plus paid certificates.
- Website design and digital marketing: projects quoted and billed per order.
- IT services by Ateki: managed IT, support and related services.
- Third-party add-ons: such as Site Builder, SocialBee and 360 Monitoring. Each is provided by its vendor under that vendor’s own terms.
2. Your account
- You must give accurate, current contact and billing information and keep it up to date in the client area.
- You are responsible for everything done under your account, including by anyone you give access to. Keep your passwords private.
- We send invoices, notices and other communications by email to your account’s primary email address. By ordering, you agree to receive them electronically. Messages that bounce or get blocked by your mail system still count as delivered.
3. Billing and payment
- All services are prepaid, billed in U.S. dollars, and renew automatically for the same term unless you cancel.
- We email renewal invoices before the due date. If a card or payment method is on file, it is charged on the due date.
- Late payment: service is suspended 7 days after the due date and terminated 32 days after it. Data on terminated accounts may be permanently deleted.
- An unpaid renewal invoice is cancelled 30 days after its due date, and the service it covered ends.
- Chargebacks: if you file a chargeback or payment dispute, the account is suspended and a $50.00 fee is added. Service is restored once the balance and fee are paid in full. Please contact us first; most billing questions are resolved quickly.
- Prices may change. We will tell you before a price change applies to your next renewal.
4. Cancellations and refunds
- 30-day money-back guarantee: cancel a new hosting account within 30 days of the first order for a full refund of the hosting fee.
- Not refundable: domain registrations, renewals and transfers; SSL certificates; third-party add-ons; and setup or migration fees. These are bought from third parties as soon as you order them.
- After 30 days: hosting fees already paid are not refundable, including unused time on annual plans.
- Website design: deposits and progress payments are not refundable. If you cancel or put a project on hold, you pay for any work completed beyond what you have already paid.
- IT services: billed as stated in your quote or service agreement.
- To cancel, submit a cancellation request from the client area or open a support ticket. A cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid term unless you ask for it to take effect immediately.
- Accounts suspended or terminated for breaking these Terms get no refund.
5. Domain names
- Domains are registered in your name through our registrar partner. You also agree to the registrar’s registration agreement and the rules of each domain registry and ICANN.
- You must keep WHOIS contact details accurate. Inaccurate details can lead to the domain being suspended under ICANN rules.
- Domains renew only when the renewal invoice is paid. We do not renew unpaid domains. You are responsible for paying renewal invoices before the expiration date.
- After expiration: a domain renewed during the registrar’s grace period is charged the renewal price plus a $49.95 late fee. A domain that has entered redemption is charged the renewal price plus a $199.95 restoration fee. A domain not restored before the end of redemption is released and may be registered by someone else.
- You may transfer your domain to another provider at any time as long as the account is in good standing, the domain is more than 60 days past registration or a previous transfer, and it is not locked by a registry or legal process.
