Saving Hosting Terms
of Service Guarantee:
Since 2002, websites hosted through Saving Hosting have had
a less than 1% average downtime.
All hosting accounts have a full money back guarantee, upon
cancellation within 30 days of payment, if the account
holder is not satisfied for any reason regarding the
services provided by Saving Hosting. The amount refunded
will be the dollar amount paid to Saving Hosting, by the
account holder, less any bandwidth overage charged to that
account for the first 30 days of service. Domain
registration fees are not refundable. If we register a
domain name, on your behalf, as part of a free registration
promotion - you must keep your domain name under our current
domain name registration services (as of 2004, that service
is eNom through SavingHosting.com). Cancellation or
termination of your account will void the promotion offer
and you will be charged $15 for your domain name
registration.
You may cancel your hosting account at any time. Refunds for
accounts cancelled after the first 30 days will be granted
less the dollar amount for 1/12 the annual hosting account
price, times the number of full and partial months the
account was active. Any bandwidth overage will be deducted
before refund is granted. In other words, Saving Hosting
will refund you ONLY for the full months that you have not
used. You are responsible for making sure that we have your
current and correct contact information on file, by
frequently logging into your billing account.
We will make every reasonable attempt to avoid unexpected
server downtime and to ensure that all accounts are well
taken care of. We cannot guarantee or predict server
downtime. Any network problem, or outage, is not covered
under any guarantee or warranty and will not be grounds for
reimbursement for any subsequent financial damages or
losses. All account data backups are the account holder's
responsibility. Saving Hosting is NOT responsible for your
data backup or subsequent loss. Shared hosting accounts
should not be used for mission critical websites or email
that requires absolute redundancy.
Unsolicited E-mail (anti-spam
policy)
Accounts caught sending unsolicited, as defined by Saving
Hosting, email or UseNet postings, either through our
servers or to promote a web site on our servers will be
terminated immediately, will not qualify for a refund and
will be charged $20 per complaint filed. Accounts terminated
for sending unsolicited email or UseNet posts give up all
rights to any content, files, backups and technical support
associated with this and ALL accounts hosted on any and all
Saving Hosting servers and network.
Saving Hosting reserves the right to investigate accounts
accused of sending unsolicited emails, or UseNet postings,
in any way deemed necessary. This includes suspending the
accused account, during the pending investigation.
Sites promoting, advertising or otherwise making available
tools, information and/or software for the purpose of
sending unsolicited email or UseNet postings will be shut
down without notice. We reserve the right to cancel all
hosting accounts, of anyone having an account suspended for
sending spam. We will make available, upon request, the
source of the complaints. We will NOT make available the
actual complaint, if it means giving out individual contact
information of the person filing the complaint. WE STRONGLY
SUGGEST THAT YOU AVOID USING THIRD PARTY MAILING LISTS -
EVEN IF THEY ARE GUARANTEED TO BE CLEAN!!!
Although we have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY on unsolicited
email/spam, we are not unreasonable. Since 2002, we have
shut down an extremely small percentage of accounts for
sending Unsolicited Email. However, we can and will enforce
our Terms of Service.
*Unsolicited is defined, by Saving Hosting as: E-mail sent
to recipients who have not asked to be contacted by you or
Usenet postings (that are cross-posted to more than three
newsgroups and/or posted in newsgroups where this is against
that groups FAQ or charter), for the sole purpose of
promoting a website or commercial business on our servers.
Excessive Bandwidth Use
If your hosting account, with Saving Hosting, goes over the
bandwidth allowance set for that account, you agree to pay
for that overage. All of our hosting accounts have bandwidth
restrictions set. If you reach your designated bandwidth
limit, your account will remain active, and you will be
charged for any additional bandwidth at the price of $1.00
per Gigabyte.
Currently, the rate charged for bandwidth is $1.00 per
Gigabyte. If your account goes over its bandwidth allowance
for the month, you must either upgrade your account (before
the end of the month) or pay additional bandwidth charges in
the amount billed by Saving Hosting. All
bandwidth/traffic/disk space amounts are measured in MBytes/GBytes.
Account Termination
Violation of our anti-spam policy will be grounds for
immediate account termination. Web sites deemed offensive,
Pornographic or racially degrading, by Saving Hosting, will
be removed from our servers without notice. Abusive behavior
of any type will not be tolerated. Web sites promoting,
making available or otherwise contributing to software
piracy, hacking, spamming, denial of service attacks and/or
damage to commercial networks or servers will be removed
from our servers without notice and illegal acts will be
reported and prosecuted. Free For All (FFA) link sites and
using your account for IRC/BBN purposes is not allowed on
our servers.
Accounts using up enough server resources, to slow or crash
a server, will be shut down without prior notice. Websites
with heavy traffic should not run BBS, web cams, forums and
message board programs on our general hosting accounts, due
to the massive amount of server resources they require. If
an account is shut down, due to server resource issues, we
will (upon request) make a reasonable effort to help get the
account unsuspended. This includes tracking down the
offending program, if applicable, and/or making available
other arrangements for hosting the account on a semi-private
or private server (additional fees may be required).
Third-party installed versions of FormMail are forbidden,
due to the security risk they pose. We have FormMail scripts
available for all accounts on our network. Please request a
FormMail script from our support department, and specify
which you whether you would prefer a PHP or CGI FormMail
script. We do not allow ANY Matt Wright scripts to be
installed on our servers. For a list of the Matt Wright
banned scripts, please see: www.scriptarchive.com
All server activity is logged. Any snooping, hacking, or
other inappropriate activity of any type outside of your
account, on our servers, will be grounds for termination.
In addition, your account is for web and email use only, any
other activities, at our sole discretion, will be grounds
for termination as well.
This Terms of Service may be amended, at any time, at the
discretion of Saving Hosting. All accounts are required to
comply with any changes made to these policies. Notification
of any major changes to the policies will be emailed to the
email addresses we have on file for all account holders.
If you are unsure if what you are doing is against our TOS,
contact us. There are no refunds granted for accounts
terminated due to TOS violation.
Domain Name Registration and
Renewal Policy
Saving Hosting will make every effort to register, transfer
and/or renew your requested domain name. This is not a
guarantee that your requested domain name is available for
registration, transfer and/or renewal. Your domain name may
go unregistered, untransferred and/or renewed, due to
circumstances beyond our control, and will not be grounds
for compensation of financial loss.
An order for domain name registration, transfer and/or
renewal, does not guarantee domain name registration,
transfer and/or renewal. Domain names will not be
registered, transferred and/or renewed until payment is
received. If requested domain name is paid for, to Saving
Hosting, and subsequently not registered, transferred and/or
renewed by Saving Hosting, the domain registration fee will
be refunded.
By placing an order for domain registration, you agree to
the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy, IP Claim
Service Agreement and Registration Agreement.
