Client Responsibilities

The Provider will strongly react to any use or attempted use of an Internet account or computer without the owner’s authorization. Such attempts include “internet scamming” (tricking other people into releasing their passwords), password robbery, security hole scanning, etc. all of which will be regarded as inappropriate use as envisaged in clause 2 hereof.

The Provider reserves the right to change prices at any time. Any account not brought current within 5 days of email notice or exceeding this time frame in any way is subject to suspension or termination. The Client is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time that the Client notifies the Provider in writing of termination of the services. Email notification will be sent to the Client prior to their hosting renewal date. The Client is responsible to reimburse the Provider all bank charges caused by declined credit card payments as well as the outstanding amount. The Provider reserves the right to bill the Client for special handling fees.

We also accept account cancellation submitted from the registered email address of the account holder. Phone requests will not constitute acceptance of any cancellation.
