Terms Of Service

Terms of Service Agreement (Continued)

  1. Services Provided This TOS governs all Services provided by us. The particular description of the services we agree to provide to you are set out on our website, and incorporated by this reference (“Services”). We agree to provide the features of the Services as specified on our website (“Service Description Page”), and pursuant to this TOS. Certain aspects of the Services are provided by third parties. These third parties may have reserved the right to make changes, including material changes, to the services provided by them. You may not terminate this TOS based on such a change even if it is material.We reserve the right to change, modify, or alter the way the Services are provided, or various aspects of them. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform you of those changes. Other than for third party Services, you may terminate this TOS if such a change materially affects the Services. The term “material” shall have the same definition it is given in this TOS in the paragraph defining a party’s material breach.We provide no guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, or continuous, that you will be able to access the Services at a particular time, that any data transmitted by, or through, us is accurate, error free, virus free, secure, or inoffensive. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to keep back-up copies of your data. We are not responsible for any loss of data, for any reason. In particular, “back up” services are provided only as a supplement to your own efforts. Because the structure of websites, databases and other technology differs, we can not, and do not guarantee that any back ups will capture all of the data provided to us for back up. We are not liable for unauthorized access to, or any corruption, erasure, theft, destruction, alteration or inadvertent disclosure of, data, information or content, transmitted, received, or stored on our system. We may at our discretion block or unblock IP addresses. We may also suspend or disable an account at any time for service maintenance.
  2. Hosting When your Web Hosting Services are set up, you will receive a username, password and other information related to your account. It is very important that you protect this information from unauthorized disclosure. It is your obligation to notify us if you have lost any of this information, or you believe there is unauthorized use of the Services. We cannot be responsible for any damages, extra charges or any other harm that occurs as a result of lost, stolen, or misplaced information of this sort.Your use of the Services must be reasonable. You may not place excessive burdens on our CPUs, servers or other resources. Your bandwidth use is set out on the respective Service Description Page. If it is not, you may not use more bandwidth than that of a similarly situated customer. You agree that we may place restrictions on your use of the Services to the extent that they exceed the use of the Services by similarly situated customers. You understand that bandwidth, connection speeds and other similar indices of capacity are maximum numbers. Consistently reaching these capacity numbers may result in our need to place restrictions on your use of the Services. Restrictions may be placed on your e-mail capacity. These restrictions may apply both to the amount of e-mail you may save, receive, and/or store. Should you exceed these restrictions, your account may be suspended, files compressed and transferred to another location, and/or deleted. E-mail accounts are not designed to function as permanent storage. We assume no responsibility for files that are damaged or inadvertently deleted.You agree to cooperate with us to facilitate your use of the Services. This cooperation includes, but is not limited to, providing us with correct contact and billing information, designing material that is “server ready” and ensuring that you, your employees and/or agents have sufficient technical expertise to understand how to implement the Services.We may use software and other techniques to protect our company from viruses, SPAM and other items that we, in our sole and exclusive judgment, believe may harm our business. On request, we will provide you with information about the operation of these devices. You can then determine whether they affect your use of the Services. However we are not responsible for any harm caused to you by these devices. In particular, we are not responsible for the failure to process e-mail that we have labeled as SPAM or as otherwise harmful to our network which is then discarded without your knowledge. For example we may gray list IP addresses, and e-mail from these addresses will be refused, and you will not receive it. E-mail may be monitored to enhance functionality of the Service and aggregate information may be collected. We own this data.If we provide free software bundled into the Services we assume no liability for the performance, or non-performance of this software. Your use of this software is at your own risk and you assume all liability for this use.
    1. Multiple Websites – Note that if you’re hosting more than one site on your account that’s fine as long as they’re all directly related to the same organization. If you’re hosting multiple websites for customers of yours, or for unrelated organizations or people, you need to open regular hosting accounts for them. The only exception to this is clients who have recognized reseller status.
  3. Domain Name Registration TLCWebHosting.com Inc. is a registration service provider for several domain name registrars. Applications processed through each respective registrar are also bound by the terms of that registrars’ Registration Agreement.When you provide information to us to register a domain name, the domain name is not immediately registered. You have presented us with an application to register a domain name (“Registration Application”). This Registration Application must be processed by us before it can be submitted for registration by the registrar. There are a number of cases in which your Registration Application may be denied, or the domain name fails to be registered. Examples of these include, but are not limited to: your failure to meet our credit or fraud standards; your failure to meet the registrar’ standards; registration of the domain name by another person during the period of time in which we, or the registrar, are processing the Registration Application; and/or your failure to pay the Fees. We are not responsible to you in any way, for a failure by us, or registrar, to register a domain name.When you submit your Registration Application you will be asked to supply us with contact and other information about yourself and or business/organization (“Registration Information”). You are required to provide us with accurate Registration Information, and update the Registration Information when it becomes inaccurate. We may ask you from time-to-time to verify the accuracy of the Registration Information. You are required to respond to our request within 15 calendar days. Your failure to respond, or provide us with accurate or updated Registration Information, is a material breach of this TOS. This material breach is a basis for the cancellation of your domain name. If your domain name is cancelled, you may lose any registration rights you previously held.It is your obligation to monitor the expiration date of your domain name. Domain name renewal services are provided as a courtesy to you. We assume no responsibility for domain names that lapse or which are not renewed. However, we will make every effort to automatically renew your domain prior to it’s expiry date if your account is in good standings.If your domain expires, you may request special order “Redemption” and “Rescue” services from us, through the registrar. You will not receive a refund for Redemption and Rescue services unless the registrar fails to process a redemption and/or rescue. Should the registrar fail to process a redemption and/or rescue, the registrar, and our, liability is limited to a refund of the price you paid for that service.If your domain name does not have valid name servers, or is expired, it may be Parked. The term “Parked” means that your domain name will point to a page that contains advertising that may be related to your domain. Any revenue received from a Parked domain is ours. You may request that we turn off advertising on a fully paid, unexpired, Parked domain.
  4. IP Addresses We may provide you with an IP address, or addresses. We retain ownership of these IP addresses and although it’s unlikely, may change them at any time. Should these addresses change, it is your responsibility and sole obligation to update your software and/or equipment to reflect this change. We have no responsibility or liability for the cost of such changes. Upon termination of this Agreement, you will not have the ability to transfer these addresses.
  5. Technical Support Our technical support is available for all current customers and is provided on an as-is, as available basis. If your request for technical support exceeds that of similarly situated customers, we may charge you additional support fees. We will inform you, and receive your consent, prior to charging you for technical support.In order to provide technical support, you agree that we may have full access to all aspects of the Services accessible to us based on your request. After we complete your request, you are solely responsible for any changes made to your account from that point forward.All support is provided as-is and is subject to the disclaimers of warranties and limitation of liability set out in this TOS. While we will use reasonable efforts to provide technical support to you and to perform any work you request in a timely and professional manner, we cannot guarantee the result you expect or that an issue might not occur again. We retain the right to refuse to provide technical support to you if your use of technical support exceeds that of similarly situated customers, or if you are verbally abusive to our employees or contractors. We may refuse to perform any request that requires changes not compatible with the Services or is not related to them or might create a security risk or endanger their performance.It is your obligation to perform and store a backup of your data and files prior to requesting technical support. In the event that you are not satisfied with the outcome of any technical support, it is your obligation to restore your files and data from your own backup.
    1. Support for third-party products and services We will make a “best effort” to try to draw on our knowledge and experience to help with third-party products and services used in conjunction with our Services. We do not guarantee that we will be able to provide any accurate or comprehensive solutions to problems with the plethora of third-party products and services used on the internet but we will try to help in any way we can.
  6. Backup Services We will use good faith efforts to backup data stored on the shared account once per day. Backups are intended for internal use only and we cannot guarantee that the backup will be available or without corruption for restoring upon your request. It is your responsibility to backup data of all your content, email, files, etc. within your account to prevent potential data loss even if you purchase backup services. Backup services are provided “as-is”. See “Warranties; Our Warranties”. Our only obligation is to restore your hosting space to its operating condition. While we may provide assistance, it is your obligation to restore your website.Each day we back up your account by compressing it into a single archive and placing it on a separate hard drive for safe keeping. Thus, if your account ever needs to be restored because files were lost, damaged or hacked, we can recover the entire account. Hard drives do fail on occasion, but because the primary drives are mirrored, it’s extremely rare that the primary drive would lose data, even if a hard drive fails. (However, the worst-case scenario can happen. Thus far it’s happened only once in our 17 years of hosting). So creating a back-up archive is extremely important. This archive is saved on site for 48 hours and then moved to an offsite storage facility, which protects against extreme disasters such as a natural disaster or human-caused catastrophe that might physically damage our data centers.
    1. Storage Limitations: All of these precautions take time and resources. Thus we have to balance the load so that some clients don’t draw resources away from others. Therefore, as of March 1, 2017, accounts using more than 10 GB of disk space are not backed up unless special arrangements are made.
    2. Provision of Backups: Backups are for internal use only. There are times when you may want to copy of the backup. The cost of the backup is the equivalent of $50 or 6 months worth of hosting, whichever is more. As stated above, backups are provided as-is with no warranty.
    3. Restoring Accounts: We will attempt to restore an account as many times as needed but will only provide 2 restores per 6-month period at no charge.
  7. Third Party Services Many of the provisions of this TOS incorporate provisions we are required to flow down to you by our third party vendors. However, the following provisions do not fit neatly within a particular category, and are set out here. Geotrust certificates:
    Geotrust certificates may not be distributed in Japan. The information you supply to Geotrust for your certificate may be provided to third parties. Geotrust certificates incorporated by reference:

  8. Term For customers, and End Users, the term of this TOS begins when we initiate the service(s) requested by you or when payment is received from you, or your credit card payment is “approved” by your issuer (“Effective Date”), whichever is earlier. This TOS will begin on the Effective Date and continue for the term set out on the Service Description Page (“Initial Term”). After the expiration of the Initial Term, this TOS will renew for successive periods of equal length (“Renewal Term”). If the Service Description Page does not contain an Initial Term, the Initial Term shall be one month. Accounts are automatically renewed. You will have fifteen (15) days prior to renewal to cancel your account. Your notice should contain your domain name, user name, and password or last 4 digits of your credit card or the answer to the secret question on file, for verification purposes. If we do not receive a notice to cancel the renewal of your domain name and/or account, we will charge the account accordingly. If you have chosen to pay by credit card we will automatically debit that card. If you have chosen to pay by check, your payment is due when the notice is sent out.Should a renewal fee go unpaid, we will not turn over assets of the account until the account balance is paid. Payment must be made by credit card or such other method as we may indicate in the registration application or renewal form. We will renew the registration for the term specified provided your credit card or other billing information is available and up to date, unless you instruct us otherwise within the time specified. If your billing information is not accurate and you wish to renew the registration/account, you are responsible to contact us to update this information.
  9. Cancellation of your account:

    1. HOW TO CANCEL: You must use this Cancellation Form or go to our website, click on the Cancel Service link under Customer Service in our navigation bar. This form requires information that we use to verify that you have the authority to cancel the account. If you fail to give the correct information, we’ll need to have that corrected or we cannot close the account. We only accept cancellations in writing via the form above or postal mail, and will not cancel an account over the phone, or by email. It is important to note that if the Service Description Page contains a term commitment, you will be responsible for all termination charges based on your cancellation. The fact that you cancel service does not relieve you of responsibility for these charges. If you have a term agreement with us, we strongly suggest you contact us prior to canceling to determine what your cancellation obligations will be.
    2. REFUND POLICY: Accounts older than 30-days are not refundable. We send invoices 21 days prior do their due date. You must cancel an account prior to the due date or you will be billed and responsible for payment. Until you formally cancel your account, you are still responsible for all due invoices. We’re not mind readers, so repointing your domain to another service does not automatically cancel your account because there are valid reasons to have two accounts on two different servers. Domain name renewals are non-refundable. We may, at our option, make an exception and pro-rate your refund minus $10 to cover our merchant expenses and processing fees.
  10. Termination
    1. Termination for cause – We reserve the right to immediately terminate this TOS, and suspend or cancel your services: (i) for a violation of any of our policies, including those incorporated by reference; and/or (ii) your failure to pay any amounts due. This right of termination is without prejudice to any other rights we may have. You are not entitled to any type of notice or protest should we exercise these rights.
    2. Termination without cause – We may terminate this TOS by providing you with written notice no later than 25 days prior to the expiration of any Initial Term, Renewal Term, or month-to-month contract.
    3. Termination by you – You may terminate this TOS by providing us with written notice no later than 15 days prior to the expiration of any Initial Term, Renewal Term, or month-to-month contract.Your termination notice must be provided to us via the following two options and requires that you prove ownership of the account by providing either the user name and password to the account or the last 4 digits of the credit card or checking account used to pay for services along with your domain name, your name, address, phone number and email address using the form under “HOW TO CANCEL” or Written for mailed to the following address: TLCWebHosting.com Inc., P.O. Box 638, Cocolalla, ID 83813 USA USA
    4. Termination for material breach – One party may also terminate this TOS upon the occurrence of a material breach, which has not been cured by the other party within 30 days of their receipt of written notice of the breach. For the purposes of defining a material breach, materiality shall be determined from the perspective of a reasonable business person with significant experience in conducting business on the Internet. To be effective, notices of material breach must contain sufficient detail for the party against whom the assertion of material breach is directed to identify the breach and attempt to take corrective action.
    5. Status of your domain name upon termination – If this TOS is terminated for your failure to pay the Fees when due or your domain registration has been bundled together with another of our Services, we will take ownership of your domain name. You may redeem your domain name within 30 days of such a termination by paying the Fees due us, and our non-discounted charge for registering new domains.
  11. Payment
    1. When Fees are Due – You are solely responsible for the fees and charges for the Services (“Fees”). Fees are set out on the Service Description Page. Your Fees will be charged to the credit card you provided us upon sign up. You agree that we may charge this credit card for all recurring Fees due pursuant to this TOS, and any other fees or charges set out in it. Fees are due as set out on the Service Description Page (“Due Date”). Fees are due even if your credit card expires or is declined by your card issuer.
    2. Payment of Our Fees – You must pay the Fees without set off or deduction. It is your responsibility to ensure that we receive payment of the Fees. Fees will be considered paid on the date your financial institution makes funds available to us. Should you fail to pay the Fees, or withhold any amount, for any reason, we may suspend the Services. Should your account be suspended, for any reason, Fees will continue to accrue.
    3. Payment of Third Party Fees – You may choose to purchase certain Services and services that are provided by other parties through us (“Third Party Services”). Fees for the Third Party Services may not appear on your invoice, or credit card statement, on the month in which they are delivered. You agree to pay for these Third Party Services regardless of the length of time elapsed between their delivery date, and the date on which you are charged.
    4. Past Due Fees – Past due Fees will accrue interest of 2.0% per month, or the maximum amount allowed by law. Simply refusing to pay Fees when due does not cancel your account. Accordingly, Fees will continue to accrue during this time. We reserve the right to suspend the Services, including your Domain Name, if you fail to pay the Fees when due. This right extends to disputes you initiate through your credit card company that result in “charge backs.”If your account is past due, to become a customer in good standing you will be required to (i) pay all Fees past due; (ii) pay any fees levied on us by our financial institution; (iii) accrued interest; (iv) a $250 fee if you initiated a “charge back” with your credit card company; and (v) any collection costs we have accrued, including attorney’s fees. Should your credit card company “charge back” any amount of the Fee, you will be charged a $250 charge back fee. If the Fees are not paid by your financial institution, your account will be considered delinquent.
  12. Refunds Our Web Hosting Service carries an unconditional 30 day satisfaction guarantee (Guarantee). The Guarantee applies to web hosting only and no other Service. To take advantage of the Guarantee you must contact us in writing within the first 30 days of the Effective Start Date for the particular Service. If you wish to retain your domain name, the cost of your domain name will be deducted from your refund at our regular, non-discounted, domain name price. If you paid us by credit card we will credit the card on file, otherwise we will send you a check.The Guarantee only applies to an individual Web Hosting Service for 30 calendar days following the Effective Date. If you purchase more than one Web Hosting Service from us, the Guarantee only applies to the Web Hosting Service that falls within this 30 day period.
  13. Bill Disputes If you believe there is an error in a Fee, we encourage you to contact us in writing. Our obligation to consider your claim is contingent on your providing us with written notice of this dispute, and including sufficient facts for us to investigate your claims. We must receive this notice within 15-days after the charge to your account (“Dispute Deadline”). You waive your right to dispute any charges or Fees if you fail to meet Dispute Deadline. It is important that you utilize this process, rather than initiating a credit card “charge back” to avoid having the Services suspended, and incurring a “charge back” fee. Charge backs qualify as “Termination for cause” herein but they do not relieve you of any responsibility for fees for service and a $15 charge back fee.
  14. Licenses
    1. Our Technology – We grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty free license to use technology provided by us solely to access and use the Services.

All right, title and interest in our technology shall remain with us or the owner of the Third Party Technology. You are not permitted to circumvent any devices designed to protect our ownership interests in the technology provided to you. In addition, you may not reverse engineer this technology.

This license terminates on the cancellation or termination of this TOS.
  15. Information You Provide to Us Your personal information is treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy. During the course of providing the Services to you, we will learn information about your use of the Services.

For the purposes of this warranty, the following issues shall not constitute services within the definition of “similarly situated companies”: up-time, “up-time guarantees” or other items for which we provide a service level agreement, regardless of whether a service level agreement is, or was, available for the Services.
