Our Responsibilities
HostSEO™ Networks agrees to furnish services, which
are paid for, to the Customer, subject to complete compliance
to the AUP and TOS. HostSEO™ Networks reserves the right
to refuse any potential customer, at the sole discretion
of HostSEO™ Networks. The failure by a customer to meet
or follow any of the policies/terms is grounds for account
deactivation. HostSEO™ Networks will be the sole arbiter
as to what constitutes a violation of the AUP. HostSEO
reserves the right to remove any account without prior
notice.
Changes
The TOS and AUP are both subject to change at any time
at the sole discretion of HostSEO™ Networks, a change
in policy shall not be grounds for early contract termination
or non-payment. Customer recognizes that the nature
of the service supplied and the initial rates and charges
have been communicated to Customer. The Customer is
aware that from time to time rates may change based
on availability of hardware and overall market fluctuations,
if a change is going to in any way alter the recurring
monthly bill of a customer, it will be communicated
prior to actual billing.Refunds
Only all hosting services rendered by HostSEO™ Networks
are eligible for a limited refund. Refund covers the
Hosting service plan itself, and does not include any
other services such as ssl certificate, domain registration
etc. Refunds are only offered within 25-days of account
registration, and only applies to the first service
of a new client. Additional orders are not eligible
for a refund. For example, if you've had an account
with us before, canceled and signed up again, or if
you have opened a second account with us, you will not
be eligible for a refund. Violations of this Agreement
will waive your rights under the refund policy. Services
that are suspended or terminated due to non-compliance
of the AUP and TOS are not eligible for refunds. Refunds
will be applicable for valid reason only which can't
be solved by us. If you do misbehave with the Support
Team (over Chat/Ticket/Phone/Email) that will also waive
the refund policy.
Suspension
If any violation of these rules will occur HostSEO reserves
a right to suspend a violating account. You, as an administrator,
will have a permission to reactivate your client account.
After the account will be reactivated, you or your client
will have 12 hours to resolve the incident. If incident
will not be resolved in 12 hours after you will reactivate
account or any violation will occur in future by the
same account, HostSEO reserves a right to terminate
violating account and disable client profile (we will
not disable your administrator profile, only your end
client profile). Root user will always safe from any

Billing Methodology and Information
HostSEO™ Networks invoices for all services 10 days
prior to the due date. You are responsible for arranging
payment by the due date. If you want to cancel your service you need to inform us before 10 days of overdue date. Accounts that become past due
will be subject to a 10% (ten percent) late fee after
5 days of being overdue. This late fee is non-negotiable
and will be automatically added to any overdue invoices.
After an invoice becomes 20 days past due, all services
affiliated with the invoice are subject to immediate
termination. Excessive tardiness will not be tolerated
and could result in services being terminated or additional
late fees being assessed.

In the event fraud is discovered, the fraudulent customer
is subject to immediate suspension/termination at the

as well any financial institutions involved. All fraud
orders are investigated, and all fraudulent customers

or initiate a chargeback with Paypal, Payza, Skrill
or their Credit Card issuer will result in a suspension
of all services and a fine of $100 will be assessed
to the customer's account. A chargeback imposed
under false pretenses is considered Fraudulent and will
be treated as such.

is of such a nature that service can be interrupted
for many reasons other than the negligence of HostSEO™
Networks, and that damages resulting from any interruption
of service are difficult to ascertain. Therefore, the

for any damages arising from such causes beyond the

in a transfer of data from an old host. Free transfer
