Billing

By the Account Activation Date of each month, Hostereo shall either:

(1) debit the client’s credit card (when such information has been provided by the client); or

(2) deliver, by e-mail or regular mail, an invoice in accordance with the applicable Service Fees for services rendered for the current month.
When an invoice is delivered to the client, payment shall be remitted to Hostereo by no later than the specified payment due date. Hostereo 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. All credit cards are billed automatically on a monthly basis. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that they have sufficient credit to cover this transaction. In the event that there is insufficient credit, we will send an e-mail notification, at which point we will need to be provided with another credit card account number within 24 hours. If we do not receive a response within 24 hours, the account, and all accounts under that account plan, will be suspended.

(3) Payment method accepted are: PayPal, Visa or credit card.
Monthly payments and renewal fees will be charged at the agreed rate at the time of purchase. You are entitled to cancel the services at any time by accessing your control panel. Upon cancellation, your account will be suspended and you will no longer be able to access our site and/or receive access to services, except in the case of recurring obligations that you have agreed to, which cannot be refunded as permitted by law. If you cancel, you agree that the payments for the first month of services and all setup costs associated with setting up your account (“setup costs”) will not be refunded, except for recurring obligations that have been agreed upon by you. If you have paid upfront fees for a long term period, you are entitled to receive a relative refund for the remaining period after your cancellation, except for the first month of service and all activation costs.

Service Fees

Certain services carry a setup fee charged by Hostereo to client, which must be paid by client in order to have use of said services.
If client terminates this agreement, client shall be responsible for any and all outstanding fees owed to Hostereo and agrees to pay any and all fees incurred by client. Because the services are provided on a monthly basis, the client will be responsible for service fees incurred each month, regardless of when client provides notice of termination.

Thus, for example, if the client provides notice of termination on the 15th day of a particular month, the client will be responsible for service fees for the entire month, and such fees will not be pro-rated or refunded.

Money back guarantee & refund policy

We do not generally refund cancelled contracts. For example, if your contract is quarterly and you request a refund after two months, no refunds will be admitted. No refunds are issued for setup charges, add-on charges, domain-registrations, add-on
purchases, SSL certificates or overage charges. In case of AUP violations, any and all refunds are forfeit.

Refund Policy for Prepaid Services

In the event that a user pays for a prepaid service partially with credit (gift funds) and partially with their own funds from their balance, the following refund policy applies upon cancellation of the service:

The residual value of the service will be reimbursed proportionally. The portion of the service paid for with credit (gift funds) will be refunded to the user’s credit balance. The portion paid for with the user’s own funds will be refunded to their personal balance.

This policy ensures that users are fairly reimbursed in the same form of currency they used for payment, maintaining the integrity and balance of financial transactions within our services.

Resource Suspension for Unpaid Services

Should a user have an active prepaid service as well as an unpaid postpaid service with an outstanding invoice, we will proceed to suspend the user’s resources in the general order of operations. This suspension will occur regardless of the service being prepaid, with its deactivation and subsequent removal of such resources following the standard procedure.
