Refusal of Service

We reserve the right to refuse, cancel or suspend service, at our sole discretion.

Billing

By the Account Activation Date of each month, we shall deliver, via e-mail or post, an invoice in accordance with the applicable Service Fees for services to be rendered in the forthcoming month. When an invoice is delivered to the client, payment shall be remitted to us by no later than the specified payment due date. We shall be entitled to immediately terminate this agreement for client's failure to make timely payments. You will be provided with an invoice on a monthly basis. We do not record or store customer credit/debit card data but you are able to set up recurring billing through our payment partners to allow us to take payment for invoices as they become due. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have sufficient funds to cover any transactions. Failure to make payment will result in up to three overdue notices being submitted to you before your account is suspended.

Following account suspension, your account may be terminated and your data removed from our servers in either of the following circumstances where we do not hear from you to confirm that you wish your account to remain open: Your account has been suspended for non-payment for more than 3 weeks, OR More than 4 weeks have elapsed from the due date or your earliest unpaid invoice and no payment for your service has been received

Money back guarantee and Refunds

We offer a 3 day money back no questions asked guarantee, effective immediately on the date your payment is received only for new account registrations.
No Refunds: Purchased domains, purchased free domains, hosting registrants and returning customers are not included in the 3 day money back guarantee.
In excess of the 3 day guarantee, we will not offer refunds for packages paid annually in order to protect our packages from possible exploitations, as our annual packages are often discounted.
This policy does not apply on our Shared Hosting "Starter" and "Personal" package however, as its monthly and annual prices are the same.

Cancellation

If you no longer wish to continue with your hosting, please submit a cancellation at least 3 days before your services are due to be renewed. Your account will only be deemed as terminated once all outstanding balances have been paid in full.

Limitation of Liability

We shall not be responsible for any claimed damages, including incidental and consequential damages, which may arise from our servers going offline or being unavailable for any reason whatsoever. Furthermore, we shall not be responsible for any claimed damages, including incidental or consequential damages, resulting from the corruption or deletion of any web site from one of our servers. All damages shall be limited to the immediate termination of service.

Data Backups

We take backups of all data related to your hosting account. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that your own data is backed-up regularly to your own computer or another service via appropriate methods. We will not be held responsible or liable for any data that cannot be retrieved in the event of deletion, failed software installations, account termination, hardware failures and other events which may cause data loss.

Migration Assistance

If you are moving to us from another cPanel provider, we can assist with the migration by restoring any cPanel backups you upload to us via FTP. It is your responsibility to supply these backups. We will not log in to your old provider's platform and perform the backups on your behalf. Any migrations from non-cPanel providers will not be performed by us and must be done by you.

Customer Support

All support requests must be raised through the tickets system via our website. We can also provide support via e-mail if required but all requests must first be initiated through a support ticket. This helps us deal with your query more effectively and provides a clear history of all correspondence.

Please note that we provide support to our direct customers only. We will not provide support via any means to your resold clients or any third-party not holding a direct account with us under any circumstances. It is your responsibility to cater for the support needs of your customers. In the event there is a hosting-related issue that you are unable to resolve, you are required to communicate this to us in detail via a support ticket and we will investigate and respond to you accordingly so you can inform your customer.

Violations

Violations of these policies should be referred to [email protected]. All complaints will be investigated promptly. Failure to follow any term or condition will be grounds for immediate account deactivation.

Certain equipment, routing, software and programming used by us are not directly owned or written by Host25Cent Web Hosting Services (examples include cPanel management and WHMCS billing software).

We offer a 99.98% service uptime guarantee, which is based on a 12-month rolling average across our entire platform and multiple clouds. In the unlikely event that we fail to meet our obligations we will provide full and thorough explanations for any downtime.

Please note that from time to time, it will be necessary for us to perform essential maintenance or upgrades to our infrastructure. In the event of such planned maintenance, we will provide advance notice so you can make necessary arrangements to contact your customers or suspend any service monitoring you may have in place for the period of the planned outage. Where possible, such upgrades will be carried out overnight in the UK to minimise impact on customers. Downtime incurred as a result of planned and notified maintenance will not be included in our downtime statistics.

Complaints

We like to think we get it right all the time, every time but the truth of it is everyone gets it wrong from time to time. We can only improve on our services with valid feedback from you, our customers.
