In addition Full Metal Hosting shall have the right to terminate all service set forth in this Agreement. Service Rates: Subscriber acknowledges that the nature of the service furnished and the initial rates and charges have been communicated to Subscriber. Subscriber is aware that the Company may prospectively change the specified rates and charges from time to time. The promotional offer is contingent upon Company achieving and maintaining its cost of service goals including but not limited to rates charged to company by its suppliers.

Payment:
Establishment of this service is dependent upon receipt by the Company of payment of stated charges. Subsequent payments are due on the anniversary date of the month for that month’s service. By entering your credit card information in the Full Metal Hosting billing system you agree to allow Full Metal Hosting to capture funds from your card on or after your payment due date. In certain situations we may require written verification of authorization and a copy of the front of your credit card. The above applies to all accounts and services provided by Full Metal Hosting.

Accounts that fail to respond to legal requests within the time line given will be subject to immediate suspension and charged a $175 Administrative Fee. Accounts that are not collectible by Full Metal Hosting may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection. If your account is turned over for collection, you agree to pay the company a “Processing and Collection” Fee of not less than $20 nor more than $175.

Refund and disputes:
For any shared hosting account (personal hosting, business hosting, and shared cloud hosting) and during the first 3 month of service you may request a refund of the unused portion of your hosting services if you have an annual, biennial, or triennial renewal term and have followed the correct account cancellation procedure as outlined in these terms. Refunds must be specifically requested. Your refund will be calculated as follows: Your amount paid minus the current monthly fee for the plan you are on times the number of months you’ve used minus the plan setup fee (Even if waived at the time of signup. This fee is waived fully after the first year of your renewal.) minus the remaining months in your renewal times half of the current monthly fee for the plan you are on as an early termination fee. Amount Paid – Setup Fee – (Months Used * Plan Monthly Fee) – (Remaining Months * (Plan Monthly Fee / 2)). All other payments to Full Metal Hosting are nonrefundable, unless a refund is requested during any applicable money back guarantee periods. This includes the one time setup fee and subsequent charges regardless of usage. Any setup and professional services fees are nonrefundable, even during money back guarantee periods. All overcharges or billing disputes must be reported within 60 days of the time the dispute occurred. If you dispute a charge to your credit card issuer or Paypal that, in Full Metal Hosting’s sole discretion, is a valid charge under the provisions of the TOS and/or AUP, you agree to pay Full Metal Hosting an “Administrative Fee” of not less than $20 and not more than $175.

Failure to Pay:
The Company may deny service or terminate this Agreement upon the failure of Subscriber to pay charges when due. It’s the subscriber responsibility to keep up to date contact information. Such termination or denial will not relieve Subscriber of responsibility for the payment of all accrued charges, plus reasonable interest and any collection fees.

Account Cancellation:
Request for termination of user accounts must be made through the Full Metal Hosting Customer Support Center. Termination requests received will take effect immediately, that means you’re not required to pay for web hosting plan fee for that month, if termination request is received after the fee charged in that month, which is not refundable, that means starting from following month you’ll not be charged for web hosting fee. Subscription fees for additional services such as added space and bandwidth transfer will be charged for the entire month regardless of whether the request for their termination is received prior to the effecting of the said services.

Subscriber acknowledges that the service provided is of such a nature that service can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of the company and that damages resulting from any interruption of service are difficult to ascertain. Therefore, subscriber agrees that the company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such causes beyond the direct and exclusive control of the company. Subscriber further acknowledges that the company’s liability for its own negligence may not in any event exceed an amount equivalent to charges payable by subscriber for services during the period damages occurred.
