Hosting Agreement
Terms and Conditions of Service
This agreement is between Thrifty Planet Web Hosting Internet Services,
and the Customer to provide Web Hosting on Thrifty Planet Web Hosting's
network of shared servers.
We currently accept credit cards through PayPal and checks for payment.
Credit card customers can sign up for automatic monthly debits. Bills
for partial periods are prorated.
Our 6 and 12 month contracts are non-refundable (pending the usual
72 hour state contract laws), and we suggest you start first with our
month to month contract if you are not sure your site will be up that
long.
For Customers that exceed their monthly Traffic Allowance, exceed their
Disk Allowance, or use other enhanced services of Thrifty Planet Web Hosting, we will require
the Customer send in an additional amount as indicated in the domain
features and pricing guide as a deposit for the additional resources.
Customers should deposit at least one month worth of expected additional
fees in advance. Any leftover amounts will be credited to your account.
If you anticipate additional costs, please contact us to make arrangements.
Thrifty Planet Web Hosting reserves the right to change pricing within
thirty (30) days notice.
Thrifty Planet Web Hosting will provide the hardware and system administration
necessary to provide World Wide Web access to the Internet community.
At Customer's request, Thrifty Planet Web Hosting will assign a unique
domain name to our servers (i.e., www.yourname.com) provided that the
name is legally registered to and under the control of the Customer.
Customer understands that domain name registration can take some time,
and is not under Thrifty Planet Web Hosting's control. Under normal
circumstances we can have the domain name up in 2-3 business days. Thrifty
Planet Web Hosting will, however, assign a working IP address to the
Customer's pages immediately so Customer can begin uploading and testing.
Thrifty Planet Web Hosting can register your domains for you - you
will be billed by us for your domain registration fees, $15 per year
for .com, .net, .org. If you decide to use another registration service
for your domain name, then you will be billed by that company separately.
It is the customer's responsibility to maintain their domain record
and to make sure the domain registration fees are paid up to avoid service
disruptions.
Customer understands and agrees that Thrifty Planet Web Hosting will make every effort
to keep our network of servers running continuously. However, our servers
will, from time-to-time, be disconnected due to routine maintenance,
upgrades and other required events. Thrifty Planet Web Hosting will make its best effort
to keep all information on our servers backed-up. However, we recommend
that the Customer maintains a separate back-up of any information posted
to our servers. Thrifty Planet Web Hosting is not responsible for lost materials or information.
Thrifty Planet Web Hosting will also make its best effort to maintain
security on our network of servers. However, the nature of the Web and
the Internet is not secure by default. Customer assumes responsibility
for the protection of Customer's files and directories. Our Secure Servers
use the Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") between a compatible
web browser and our servers. Information forwarded from our Secure Servers
that does not use SSL will not be as secure as using SSL.
Thrifty Planet Web Hosting shall not be liable for any loss of business,
lost profits, lost data, failure of security or any or all indirect
or consequential damages whether or not such damages are foreseeable.
In addition, Customer assumes full responsibility for all content posted
to Thrifty Planet Web Hosting's servers on Customer's behalf, including
any trademark, copyright, patent or other intellectual property submitted
to Thrifty Planet Web Hosting for either creative services and/or straight
posting to our servers. Thrifty Planet Web Hosting reserves the right
to remove any material which, in its sole opinion, may result in a violation
of intellectual property rights of others or any other applicable Federal,
State, Common, International laws or regulations. Thrifty Planet Web
Hosting and Customer may cancel this agreement at any time with written
notice.
In the event that this contract is canceled by Thrifty Planet Web Hosting,
the Customer will have a pro-rated refund of any unused portion of the
billing period. Domain registration fees are non-refundable. Customer
acknowledges that these terms and conditions are subject to change without
notice. Customer's continued use of Thrifty Planet Web Hosting constitutes
customer acceptance of these and any and all modified terms.
