GetHostOne offers a variety of services to customers that range from hosting and website services (including shared, VPS Manage(coming soon), cloud services, and domain registration services among others). These services are collectively referred to as “Services.”
By using GetHostOne’s Services, Customer agrees to these Terms of Service and any other policies or terms referenced or published by us (collectively, the “Terms”). If Customer does not accept these Terms, Customer must not register an account or purchase, access, or use GetHostOne’s Services in any way.
These Terms form a binding legal agreement between GetHostOne and any person or organization who purchases, accesses, or uses GetHostOne’s Services (“Customer” or “You”). Customer represents, warrants, and agrees that (a) Customer has the full power and authority to enter into and perform under these Terms, or (b) if Customer is using these Services on behalf of an organization, entity, or group, that Customer is authorized to accept these Terms.
Account Information
- You agree to provide certain current, complete, and accurate information about you as required by the account creation process, and to maintain or update this information as needed to keep it current, complete, and accurate. All such information shall be referred to as account information (“Account Information”).
- You hereby grant us the right to disclose to third parties, in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum, such Account Information for the purposes of fraud prevention and ensuring the security and integrity of GetHostOne systems.
- Providing any false Account Information is considered a violation of GetHostOne’s terms. GetHostOne may deny the creation of an account should it feel in its sole discretion that any incomplete, or inaccurate Account Information is provided during account creation. Any payments made incident to such a denied account will be refunded or canceled.
- GetHostOne may suspend or disable any existing account without refund should Customer willfully fail to promptly update Account Information upon its change, or fail to respond for over fifteen (15) calendar days to inquiries by GetHostOne concerning the accuracy of any Account Information.
Financial Arrangements
Customer agrees to a ten (10) day contract minimum beginning upon commencement of service. Exact contract duration is decided upon at signup.
Customer agrees that all charges and fees associated with an account are their sole responsibility.
If the customer wishes to cancel GetHostOne shared Web Hosting services within ten (10) days of the initial signup they shall be able to do so for any reason (aside from disablement for Terms of Service or Spam Policy violations) and have their money promptly refunded.
Services provided by 3rd parties and GetHostOne partners are not part of the 10-day refund policy and no early ending credit applies. Billing will stop at end of term during which the service is canceled.
The “10-Day Money-Back Guarantee” offer is only applicable to credit card payments for shared web hosting. Other forms of payment are non-refundable. Refunds can only be processed for shared hosting. Domain registrations (including the value of any used free domain registrations included with the plan) are not refundable under any circumstances. SSL certificates are non-refundable.
Violations of GetHostOne’s Terms may, at GetHostOne’s discretion, result in immediate and permanent disablement without refund.
GetHostOne reserves the right to disable or suspend without refund any account or service at any time should it feel, in its sole discretion, that there is a reasonable suspicion that it is being used in violation of any agreed upon terms.
Disputed charges (“chargebacks”) associated with any GetHostOne account, at GetHostOne’s discretion, may result in immediate and potentially permanent disablement of Services or the full account. Each rejected charge will incur a $50 fee on the account which must be paid before any Services may be reactivated.
GetHostOne reserves the right to modify current service plans, fees, and applicable charges at any time. Services that involve outdated or unsupported features may incur additional maintenance fees.
