VPS Terms Of Service - Host my WorkHost my Work

These Terms of Service (the 'Agreement') are an agreement between you - the user of our hosting and related services (collectively, the 'Services'), and Host my Work, in association with LiquidNet US LLC, a US company headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and LiquidNet Ltd., a UK company headquartered in London, UK. All billing and hosting services are rendered by LiquidNet US LLC and LiquidNet Ltd. (billing operations will be handled here). Legal details about the two companies can be found in the 'Customer Care Service' section of this document.

For the sake of brevity, Host my Work, LiquidNet US LLC and LiquidNet Ltd. will be referred to as 'We', 'Us', 'Our' and 'Service Provider' in this document.

When signing up for a VPS hosting account with the Service Provider, the Customer agrees to abide by the rules and provisions explicated in these VPS Terms of Service, as well as all their coherent policies (Order Verification Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, etc.) mentioned herein.

The Customer of our Services should also be aware that when signing up for a VPS hosting account with the Service Provider, he/or she agrees to position data on our servers and make it accessible to the wide internet public. In this respect, the Customer understands and agrees that it is beyond the power of the Service Provider to restrict any public access to this data and guarantee the security of the Customer's files. The Customer, therefore, is completely in charge of protecting his/her web content on our servers and should consider carefully each piece of information before uploading it to his/her newly allocated VPS server space. We highly recommend that Customers avoid publishing online personal data that could be abused.

SERVICE ACTIVATION AND CONTINUANCE TIMESCALES

SERVICE ACTIVATION

Each customer of the Service Provider will be able to take advantage of the package he/she has purchased at the introductory price levels and with one and the same set of features in the course of the whole contract period. The Service Provider reserves the right to introduce certain changes to the packages (in the form of complementary services) to the benefit of the customers.

The Service Provider will charge customers fees based on the fee structure of the web hosting system at the time of the sign-up process. The Service Provider reserves the right to introduce price changes to the servers when needed. This means that the current price list at the Service Provider's web store may differ from the pricing of the Customer's server.

When signing up for an account with the Service Provider, the Customer agrees to pay for the period of one month (30 days) and abide by the Order Verification Policy. The Sales Department will strictly scrutinize each account order and carefully process each payment in order to ensure that no fraudulent user can take advantage of the web hosting system.

When a Customer pays for a server via credit card or PayPal, a monthly recurring billing subscription will be created automatically for his/her convenience, for which He will get a notification from the payment processor. All automatic payments go through exactly 7 days before the due date so as to avoid any downtime to the hosting service if there is a problem with the credit card/PayPal account.

The Service Provider will send a reminder of the due payment at least 24 hours before the automatic charge takes place.

The Customer can cancel the subscription at any time from the Control Panel -> My Account -> Recurring, or directly through PayPal - if it's a PayPal account subscription.

If the standard payment methods are not suitable for the Customer's needs, alternative options such as Revolut or cryptocurrency payments may be provided. Please reach out to the Sales team for further assistance in this regard.

Domain Renewals – Domain names are valid for the period of their registration (domain names can be registered for up to 10 years, depending on the domain name's TLD extension). After the expiration of a domain name several stages follow regarding its renewal.

The domain name Redemption Grace Period (RGP) is a registry level period of up to 30 days after a domain name's expiration date. During this period the domain name is kept on hold by the Registrar before it gets deleted. The domain registrant is allowed to retrieve the domain name from deletion, but this process costs additional redemption fee. This extra 30-day period extends the time available for renewing domain names. However, all domains that enter a redemption period are removed from the zone files (the list of domain names currently in the global DNS), therefore any web site or e-mail services associated with the domain name will stop working.
Extended Redemption Grace Period – the extended redemption period adds another 7 – 30 days to the domain name's redemption period. During this period the domain name owner is allowed to retrieve the domain name from deletion by contacting the domain's registrar.
After the redemption period of an expired domain name is over, follows the Pending Delete Period – a registry level period of up to 5 days during which no one is allowed to renew the domain name and it cannot be newly registered because it's still not returned to the public pool of domain names.
Released by Registry Period – after the domain name's ‘Pending Delete Period' is over, the domain name is released back into the public pool of domain names and is newly available for registration.

We strongly recommend that Customers renew their domain registrations before their domain names are placed into redemption period. After a domain name transits in redemption period, we are not able to prevent its zone files from being removed from the DNS system, and any web site and associated services will cease working.

We can assist Customers in retrieving their domain names only if the domain names were registered with us. Customers will be charged a REDEMPTION FEE of $270.00 USD for each domain registration renewal. If the domain name was registered with another registrar, the Customer needs to contact that registrar for more information regarding its retrieving.

CANCELLATION, REFUND & MONEY-BACK; CHARGEBACKS
1. CANCELLATIONS
  
  In order to cancel a VPS account, the Customer must send a support ticket to the Service Provider's Sales Department via his/her Billing Manager and provide any authentication credentials requested by the Service Provider. Any other form of cancellation request will not be accepted.
2. REFUNDS
  
  VPS accounts – The VPS accounts are set up on a monthly prepay basis. Customers may cancel their accounts at any time, however they will not be entitled to a refund for the unused period of the prepaid month, since these services do NOT include Money Back Guarantee. Any incentives offered to the Customers upon sign-up will be also canceled.
  
  Domain Name Registrations/Transfers – Domain name registrations/transfers are also treated as non-refundable services and cannot be canceled or refunded after activated upon Customer request. The domain name owner will have access to a domain management account, and will be able to transfer the domain name to another registrar.
3. CHARGEBACKS
  
  Chargebacks are not considered as a way of refunding. Any Customer who initiates a credit card chargeback in response to a bill or order placed with the Service Provider will be subject to full investigation.
  
  When signing up for a VPS account with the Service Provider, the Customer agrees to the terms and conditions explicated in this document (and its coherent policies). Thus, the Service Provider, as well as the Service Provider's authorized retailers (PayPal, WorldPay, 2CheckOut), will resort to these documents as an evidence for the Customer's agreement, especially in the event that a Customer sends a chargeback inquiry based on points that he/or she first accepted, but is trying now to refute.
  
  If/When a chargeback report is received, the first step of the Service Provider's Customer Care team will be to try to contact the user. Meanwhile, the Customer's VPS account will be suspended (in order to protect our system from fraudulent activity and misuse) and will remain suspended until the reasons for the chargeback have been clarified and decision has been taken for according action.
  
  If the chargeback has occurred due to some misunderstanding, a reverse payment procedure will be initiated with the authorized retailers and eventually the account will be re-activated.
  
  If the Customer has sent a chargeback request based on groundless argumentations (according to the Service Provider's own judgment and these VPS Terms of Service), then a dispute will be started with the authorized retailers in which the VPS Terms of Service and the AUP of the Service Provider will serve as evidence of the Customer's agreement. The retailers then, taking into consideration all provisions in these legal documents, will decide whether the Customer has had sufficient grounds for the chargeback or the Service Provider has the right to a reverse payment.
  
  In case that the chargeback originates from a fraudulent user (end-client) and no reverse payment procedure can be activated, then the respective VPS account will remain suspended and a $30 USD fee will be withdrawn from the commission of the reseller (the client of our Free Reseller Hosting Program) whose client's account (the end-client) has been the reason for the chargeback (in order to be covered the fees imposed to the Service Provider from our authorized retailers for the claimed unauthorized transaction).

VPS RESELLER TOOLS

An eNom domain reseller account is available as a free bonus with all VPS server packages. A free billing account is included with the following cPanel-enabled plans: KVM plans (KVM 4, KVM 8, KVM 16, KVM 32), vBox 5 and vBox 10. The VPS reseller tools are installed per request.

  - If a VPS hosting account is registered with details different than those of the person who paid for the account, and in the case of any dispute, the Service Provider will take the side of the person who paid for the account and shall not provide access to any other person, since – a hosting account owner is and will be considered to be the credit card /PayPal account holder.
2. SERVER USAGE
  - CPU Usage (or usage of the Central Processing Unit(s) of the web server the Customer's account is hosted on) - the CPU usage is subject to some regulations. VPS hosting accounts can exploit proportional shares of the main server's CPU cores. The Service Provider explicitly recommends that Customers be very judicious when using the CPU power for their accounts. We reserve the right to block (suspend) accounts that excessively use CPU. If such measures are taken, we will notify the Customer and give him/her an opportunity to upgrade to a different VPS package or a dedicated server hosting solution.
  - Guaranteed RAM – Each VPS hosting account has guaranteed RAM that it's able to use. This RAM is available at all times to the VPS server.
  - Memory Latency – The memory latency of a VPS server cannot exceed 1000 cycles for a period of more than 10 seconds. We reserve the right to block (suspend) accounts that generate a memory latency of 1000 cycles or more for more than 10 seconds. If such measures are about to be taken, we will notify the Customer and give him/her an opportunity to upgrade to a dedicated server hosting solution.
  - IP Address Allocation - Each VPS hosting account comes with a Dedicated IP Address. The Customer agrees to add new IP addresses to his server only via the Service Provider's upgrade table.

4. CUSTOMER CARE SERVICE
  Technical Support
  
  Due to the specificity of the Service, Customers are fully in charge of the management and maintenance of their VPS. However, if Customers using the VPS service need assistance or want to leave this task to our highly-qualified administrators department, they can take advantage of our Managed Support or Installation & Troubleshooting services.
  
  For Customers using the Hepsia Control Panel with their VPS, technical assistance will be provided upon request only in case that our technicians have root access to the server. To get timely assistance from us, the Customer will need to provide our technicians with their server's root access credentials.
  
  Control Panel Migration procedures
  
  If the Customer wants to switch their VPS Control Panel installation from cPanel to DirectAdmin or vice versa, then they will need to follow a pre-defined Control Panel migration procedure.
  1. The Customer needs to purchase a new VPS server with an installation of the Control Panel (cPanel or DirectAdmin), which they want to migrate to.
    - If the Customer requests a migration of their current VPS server within 7 days of the last subscription payment date - all the current main service and upgrade payments will be cancelled and refunded. All recurring contracts associated with this VPS account will be canceled too. The VPS server itself will be terminated within 24 hours after the new VPS has been set up and its corresponding account will be closed.
    - If the migration procedure is requested more than 7 days after the last transaction, the Service Provider will cancel all recurring contracts associated with the current VPS account, but no payments will be refunded.
      Once all the data has been migrated to the new VPS server, the current VPS server subscription should be left to expire, and the client can use it during this period.
  2. The migration procedure can be carried out by the Customer following the instructions provided by the Service Provider.
  3. Upon customer's request the procedure can be accomplished by the Service Provider. In the event of a problem during the migration procedure, the Service Provider will terminate the process. In such cases, the Customer agrees to cover a fee of $ 15.00 USD prior to the completion of the procedure.
  4. In case that the migration is terminated by the Service Provider, the Customer can complete the process by themselves without paying any additional fees.
