Billing and Cancellation of Services

All hosting services provided by Hostitcheap.com are month-to-month contracts allowing the User to cancel service at anytime. The User may cancel within the first 7 days of initial service to receive a full refund of the cost of the service plan. After the initial one-week grace period, the User must pay for the full month-to-month service upon cancellation. If during order registration the customer chooses a different billing cycle length (i.e. monthly, quarterly, annually or other) the service will be provided and auto-renewed at that contract length/billing cycle. All cancellation must be received 7 days prior to the renewal date.

Domain registration is a NON-REFUNDABLE service, as well as a purchase of digital web certificates and merchant accounts.  Reseller hosting plans are also NON-REFUNDABLE.

The User is responsible for cancelling hosting services via http://www.hostitcheap.com/cancel. All canceled accounts are to receive a cancellation number for future confirmation. If you have registered a domain through Hostitcheap.com's registrar, domain name registrations DO NOT auto-renew at the end of the term each year unless the USER enabled domain registration auto-renewal within the account management interface. The user can enable or disable auto-renewal for domain registration renewals at the time of sign up or anytime after. The USER can turn off auto-renewal for the domain registration from the domain management interface at anytime.

Once a cancellation is received, the customer's account will be active until the end of the current billing cycle.  No other charges will be made unless the customer has an unpaid balance.  At the end of the billing cycle service shall be terminated.  Customer data stored on our servers will then be deleted.

All and any charge backs issued by the User will automatically result in a $35.00 banking fine. If any billing discrepancies occur, the User is responsible for contacting the company's Billing Department in order to resolve billing error (s) via email at billing@hostitcheap.com.

Customer Information

Hostitcheap.com may use customer information to provide customers with information about products and services that might be of interest to the customer, or to enable the customer to take advantage of special partner programs.

Use of this service is solely at the Users risk. Our backup service is provided to you as a courtesy.  HostitCheap.com is NOT responsible for data stored on your account. User agrees to take full responsibility for data transferred as well as to maintain all appropriate backup of data stored on HostitCheap.com servers. Under no circumstances will backups be provided for accounts that have been suspended or terminated for any reason.

Resources

*All Resource Restrictions DO NOT Apply to Users with Dedicated Servers.

Restrictions:
1) Account may not use 25% or more of server CPU usage for longer than 5 minutes.
2) Account may not run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server.
3) Account may not run any type of web spider or indexer on shared servers.
4) Account may not run any software that interfaces with an IRC network.
5) Account may not run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
6) Account may not participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
7) Account may not run any gaming servers.
8) Account may not run cron entries with intervals of less than 10 minutes.

INODES

The use of more than 275,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in a warning first, with eventual suspension, if no action is taken. Accounts found to be exceeding the 125,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid over-usage. Every file in your account (this includes webpages, folders, emails, images, etc.) uses up 1 inode.

Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension.

Bandwidth Policy

You are allotted a monthly bandwidth allowance which varies depending on the hosting plan you purchase. Should your account pass the allotted amount, we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allotment, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused bandwidth does not roll over to the next month.

No Spam Policy

"Spam" is when an Internet user sends unsolicited bulk and/or commercial email messages over the Internet.  The practice of “spamming" is prohibited by HostItCheap.com, and is enforced by our 0% tolerance policy.  Once we receive complaints of a subscriber practicing spamming, HostItCheap.com has the discretion to determine from all of the evidence gathered whether the spammed email recipients were from an "opt-in" email list. If found guilty, the subscriber will no longer be entitled to receive hosting service from our company and will have to forfeit any paid balances of their account.

Spamming is not only harmful due to its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward Hostitcheap.com, but also because it can overload HostitCheap's network and disrupt service to Hostit Cheap.com subscribers.  Maintaining an open SMTP relay is also prohibited.

Failure to Comply With Terms and Conditions.

Hostitcheap.com may deny User access to all or part of Service(s) without notice if User engages in any conduct or activities that Hostitcheap.com in its sole discretion believes violates any of the terms and conditions in this Agreement.

If Hostitcheap.com denies User access to Service(s) because of such a violation, User shall have no right (1) to access through Hostitcheap.com any materials stored on the Internet, (2) to obtain any credit(s) otherwise due to User, and such credit(s) shall be forfeited.
