General Terms of Service

Whereas, WebFoundry is an information provider connected to the Internet, WebFoundry offers storage and transfer services over the Internet through access to its Web Server;

Whereas, Customer seeks to utilize WebFoundry's server for its own purposes;

Whereas, the parties acknowledge that the Internet is neither owned nor controlled by any one entity; therefore, WebFoundry can make no guarantee that any given reader shall be able to access WebFoundry 's server at any given time.

WebFoundry represents that it shall make every good faith effort to ensure that its server is available as widely as possible and with as little service interruption as possible;

Now therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties agree as follows;

Financial Arrangements

1. Customer agrees to a thirty (30) day contract minimum beginning upon commencement of service. Exact contract duration is decided upon at signup.
2. Customer agrees that all charges and fees associated with an account are their sole responsibility.
3. If the customer wishes to cancel WebFoundry shared Web Hosting services within thirty (30) days of the initial signup they shall be able to do so for any reason (aside from disablement for Terms of Service or Spam Policy violations) and have their money promptly refunded.
4. Services provided by 3rd parties and WebFoundry partners are not part of the 30-day refund policy and no early ending credit applies. Billing will stop at end of term during which the service is canceled.
5. At the end of the contract term, the contract will automatically renew for the original contract length indefinitely until canceled in writing or via the web panel. After the first 30 days a canceled account will be canceled before the next payment is due and no more billing will occur nor will any payment be refunded, even for unused portions. If any non-refundable charges have already been incurred, they must be paid before the account may be cancelled.
6. "30-Day Money-Back Guarantee" offer only applicable to credit card payments for shared web hosting. Other forms of payment are non-refundable. Refunds can only be processed for shared hosting. Domain registrations (including the value of any used free domain registrations included with the plan) are not refundable under any circumstances. SSL certificates are non-refundable. The value of any AdWords credit or other third-party add-ons is non-refundable.
7. Violations of WebFoundry's Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, or Spam Policy may, at WebFoundry's discretion, result in immediate and permanent disablement without refund.
8. Disputed charges ("chargebacks") associated with any WebFoundry account may, at WebFoundry's discretion, result in immediate and permanent disablement.
9. WebFoundry will use commercially reasonable efforts to make it's hosting products available 99% of the time during each monthly billing cycle. If WebFoundry is unable to meet this service level, you will be eligible to receive a credit to apply to future product billing cycles based upon the Unavailability for that month.
   1. For the purposes of this agreement, Unavailability means that either (a) the hosting service is unresponsive, or (b) hosting service returns a server error response to valid user requests for more than 60 seconds of consecutive requests.
   2. Unavailability that is a result of scheduled maintenance is excluded from these conditions and will not be considered for service credit calculations. Scheduled maintenance is defined as maintenance that is announced at least 5 days in advance, and does not exceed one hour in any month.
   3. Service credits will be calculated as a percentage of the bill for the billing cycle that the Unavailability occurred. The percentage for the credit will be calculated by dividing the number of minutes of Unavailability by the total number of minutes in that billing cycle.
   4. Service credits must be claimed within 7 days of the Unavailability occurring by submitting a support ticket. Include as much detail as required to document the Unavailability.

Taxes

WebFoundry shall not be liable for any taxes or other fees to be paid in accordance with or related to purchases made from Customer or WebFoundry's server. Customer agrees to take full responsibility for all taxes and fees of any nature associated with such products sold.

2. Use of WebFoundry's service requires a certain level of knowledge in the use of Internet languages, protocols, and software. This level of knowledge varies depending on the anticipated use and desired content of Customer's Webspace by the Customer.

Any mention of connection speeds associated with WebFoundry's services represents the maximum achievable speed. WebFoundry does not guarantee that the customer will achieve the maximum connection speed at all times, as this depends on a variety of factors (including your own internet connection!). WebFoundry expressly limits its damages to the Customer for any non-accessibility time or other down time to the pro-rata monthly charge during the system unavailability.
11. WebFoundry specifically denies any responsibilities for any damages arising as a consequence of such unavailability.

WebFoundry agrees to notify Customer immediately of its refusal of the material and afford Customer the opportunity to amend or modify the material to satisfy the needs and/or requirements of WebFoundry. If the Customer fails to modify the material, as directed byWebFoundry, within a reasonable period of time, which shall be determined between the parties themselves, the contract shall be deemed to be terminated.
12. All domain names registered through WebFoundry, that are 'parked' or are otherwise not immediately associated with a WebFoundry hosting plan will be automatically pointed to a "Coming Soon" web page which informs visitors that the registrant has recently registered their domain name via WebFoundry.
