Terms and Conditions
This Terms of Service (TOS) agreement is an agreement between Peltanet Hosting ("Peltanet Hosting", "us", "we", "our") and you ("Customer", "Client", "Member", "you", "your”, "they"). Use of any Peltanet Hosting services constitutes acceptance and agreement to this Terms of Service (TOS) agreement as well as the Peltanet Hosting Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and Privacy Policy.
Peltanet Hosting reserves the right to terminate this TOS for any reason or no reason. Peltanet Hosting reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.
Service
The features and details of the Services governed by this TOS are described on our website. Throughout this TOS, the aspects of the Services provided to you by Peltanet Hosting, are referred to together as the "Service." Certain parts of the Service may be provided by third party vendors. These third parties may have reserved the right to make changes, including material changes, to their products and incorporated into our Service. If a third party makes a change to its products, you may not terminate this TOS based on such a change, even if it materially affects the Service.
Contact Information
As part of providing you with the Service, you are required to provide us with accurate and up-to-date information when setting up your account, and during the course of our business relationship. We will communicate with you by e-mail about the Service from time to time. You agree to provide us with an e-mail address that is active and monitored on a daily basis. Peltanet Hosting has no responsibility, or liability, for interruptions in the Services that we provide, or damages of any sort, based on communications that are misdirected as a result of your failure to provide us with valid contact information. The contact in our records is considered by us to be our customer. If you are reselling the Service, or are an End User of a reseller, it is your obligation to ensure that our records accurately reflect the correct ownership and control of the Service.
Service Changes
Peltanet Hosting reserves the right to amend its service offerings and add, delete, suspend, or modify the Service and Service fees at any time at its sole discretion, and reserves the right to determine whether and when any such changes apply to both existing and future customers.
One Time Service Fees
Any one time service fees are due and payable at the time they are incurred and are non-refundable.
New Domain Name Registration
Under this TOS, the Customer has the option, through the Order Form or as part of service activation within the Control Panel, to request Peltanet Hosting to register a new domain name on behalf of the Customer. Customer understands and acknowledges that Peltanet Hosting is not a Domain Registrar and that Peltanet Hosting will register new domain names through a Domain Registrar partner selected by Peltanet Hosting. Customer understands that the domain registration process requires Peltanet Hosting to pass Customer Information to the Domain Registrar partner and such information may become public information. Peltanet Hosting will not be responsible if a domain name is not available for any reason. Peltanet Hosting will not be responsible for any infringement of any third party rights caused by its domain registration on behalf of Customer.
Service Credits
Should any service credits be issued to the Customer account, they will be used to offset hosting fees assessed in the future. Service credits are not cashable and cannot be transferred to other accounts.
Fraud Prevention
Peltanet Hosting uses various technologies to screen orders for fraud prevention. Each order for new Service is subject to our fraud prevention screening. Peltanet Hosting is not obligated to provide Service to Customer until Customers comply with all fraud prevention program requests. Any unfulfilled requests may result in account suspension and/or account cancellation. Customers may still be responsible for any Third Party Service that they may subscribe to. Peltanet Hosting is not responsible, and Customer agrees to hold Peltanet Hosting harmless from, any liability or damage that Customer or any third party may sustain, should Customer fail to meet the criteria of the fraud prevention controls.
Cancellation
Cancellations are effective at the end of the current billing period (Cancellation Date). For security and privacy, all customer files, data, and e-mail remaining on Peltanet Hosting servers after the cancellation date will be destroyed and unrecoverable for security and privacy reasons. It is the Customer's responsibility to backup their files and data and download their e-mail prior to requesting Cancellation. Peltanet Hosting is not responsible, and Customer agrees to hold Peltanet Hosting harmless from, any liability or damage that Customer or any third party may sustain, should customer files and data be destroyed after site cancellation.
Transferring Away Domain Names
