Billing Policies and Procedures
As a customer or
potential customer, please review and become familiar with these
billing policies and procedures.
Should you have any specific questions regarding these
policies, please
contact our Service Staff.
-
The initial setup fee and
first month's service fee
are required as prepayment for all new Virtual Server orders
from new customers. The setup fee is non-refundable.
-
Payment for services can be made with
International Money Orders,
Money Orders, and business or personal checks sent directly to our
corporate headquarters.
We also accept i-Check
on-line check payments for Virtual Servers and Virtual Hosts.
We do not currently accept i-Check payments for Dedicated Servers.
All payments should be posted in United States dollars, and all checks must be drawn on a US bank.
-
All new customers are required to submit a signed copy of the
Virtual Server Agreement,
Virtual Host Agreement, and/or
Dedicated Server Agreement.
Requests for new Virtual Servers and Virtual Hosts from new customers can
be configured within one (1) business day pending receipt of these signed
contracts and prepayment.
-
If the customer orders a Server after the first day of the month
we will prorate the first month's service fee.
Only the first month's service fees are prorated.
All monthly services fees thereafter are billed for the
entire month and are not prorated upon cancellation.
-
If we register a domain name through InterNIC in the customer's behalf,
please be aware that InterNIC will bill the customer separately for the
domain name. Their current registration fee is $70.00 which covers initial
registration and updates to the domain name's database record for
a period of two years. Renewal fees are charged at the rate of
$35.00/year thereafter. If there are any questions about the
InterNIC Fees, please refer to the
InterNIC
Fees & Payment Fact Sheet.
-
Once an order has been processed, the Server
configuration information and first invoice will be sent
to the customer directly via e-mail.
-
All accounts are billed according to the calendar month, in advance.
Terms are set at N/20, or net amount due within 20 days of
billing. Subscribers receive a monthly invoice on or about the 1st of
every month via e-mail (no paper copy of the
invoice will be sent).
Payment should be received at our corporate headquarters
by the 20th of the month.
-
Reconciliation will still be allowed for up to 45 days after the original
date of the invoice in question. In other words, you do not forfeit the
right to question an invoice once it has been paid. If payment is
received
on time, and afterwards (within the 45 day time frame) you discover an
error on our part and notify us of this error, it can then be
corrected. Please remember that if you are responsible for the error
(i.e.
typo in domain name), you must contact our service department immediately
(within 1 days of the error) to receive a credit for the error.
-
Balances not paid by the 20th of the current month will be considered
past due. Accounts that are past due may be disabled at our discretion.
However, Subscribers are notified (based on provided contact information)
and given time to pay any outstanding balances before accounts are
disabled. Each time an account is disabled by a member of our Customer
Service Staff, a $35.00 enable fee will be applied to that account when it
is reactivated. Delinquent accounts may be forwarded
to an outside collections agency at any time. Any questions relating to billing or past due issues
may be directed to our
Billing Department.
-
Daily invoices will be sent via e-mail
confirming the services ordered that day.
-
Requests for modifications to an account, or anything that requires a
charge or invoice, must be made
via e-mail sent to our
Service Staff.
Examples of such request include, but are not
limited to: adding additional MB of space to a Virtual Server, adding
additional domain names to an existing Virtual Server, or requests for
termination or disablement of a Server account.
- All clients are responsible for backing up their own files
separately. We provide three levels of backup*, the
first two on disk, and the third on tape. Should the customer need to
restore a file
found on the primary and secondary backups, there
will be no charge. For each file retrieval from the tertiary backup,
or the tape backup, there is a charge of $150.00.
* - Dedicated Servers have two levels of backup
-
A $25.00 service fee, or the maximum amount permitted by law, will be charged for all
returned checks.
