Terms Of Service

VIOLATIONS OF TOS/ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
VIOLATION OF OUR TERMS OF SERVICES CAN BE RESULT IN SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Contact & Billing Information:

You must provide us with, and keep current, accurate contact information for you. This includes but is not limited to E-mail addresses not based on the main domain of your account and telephone contacts. Maintaining accurate and updated information with us is required. It is your responsibility to ensure the email address on file is current or up to date at all times. We are not responsible for any claim, damages, fees, or otherwise as a result of accounts terminated or suspended due to inaccurate or unusable coarntact information. Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of your account. You can update this information at any time in your client dashboard, email, or by telephone.

Account Setup:

While we maintain the highest standards and try for near instant account activations this is not always possible. Certain account types such as dedicated servers, virtual private servers, and colocation services may often require a great deal of extra time to provision. At times additional fraud checks or information may be needed, and the client agrees to provide said information in a timely manner. We make no guarantees in regards to the speed in which an order is completed. Accounts will only enter the setup queue once we have received payment and screened the order for fraud. Accounts are then setup in the order they are paid, received, and screened. In certain cases such as dedicated or virtual private servers purchases and other high risk transactions, it may be necessary to provide government issued identification and a scan of the credit card used. If you fail to meet any requirements, the order may be canceled without notice.

Service Plans:

Resellers are responsible for supporting their own clients. We are happy to help you support your clients but all support requests must be made by the reseller on their clients' behalf for security purposes. Resellers are responsible for all content stored or transmitted under their reseller account, clients accounts, and for the actions of their clients'. Resellers and their clients are liable to and responsible for adhering to all the terms in this agreement.

Domain Registrations:

You are also requesting us to register your site for you when selecting "new domain" in the order form of our site. OnlineAudience will register such services for you on your behalf but it is your responsibility to ensure the correct name servers are set for your domain. All domain registrations are NON-REFUNDABLE. For free domain offers we will transfer domains only after the money back guarantee period has ended. You, as the registrant of the new domain, are required to ensure correct whois information is maintained at all times.

Pricing:

OnlineAudience reserves the right to change pricing terms on any accounts and services at anytime. While we have little control over third party licening where prices can go up outside of our control, we will never increase an existing clients webhosting account plan price. However, addons such as domains, whmcs, control panels, ip's, etc. are licensed from third parties and therefore are subject to change including any items currently provided free. New accounts for current customers are subject to the current fees at the time the new account is opened.

Billing and Payments:

You agree to pay OnlineAudience in advance for the services to be rendered. Subsequent payments are due on the anniversary date of your plans term. You agree that until and unless you notify us using the proper cancellation form for all services received, those services are considered active, billable, and will be billed on a recurring basis. Client agrees to all annual and longer term recurring charges that are not canceled at least 30 days before the next renewal date. It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment information is up to date, and that all invoices are paid on time. OnlineAudience reserves the right to bill your credit card or information on file. We are not responsible for any fees accessed on the client by their bank as a result of the client's account being invoiced. OnlineAudience provides a 5 day grace period from the time invoices are generated, however invoices not paid by due date are subject to a late fee of 60p plus 10% (ten percent) interest of the past due amount. Service will be interrupted on accounts that are 5 days past due. Service interrupted for nonpayment will remain disconnected until the account balance or contract term is paid in full.

We may request payment in cashiers check or money order before restoring service. All billing disputes must be reported within 30 days of the time the dispute occurred. OnlineAudience may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement upon the failure of client to pay charges when due. Such termination or denial will not relieve client of responsibility for the payment of all accrued charges, plus reasonable interest and any collection fees.

Provisioning after payments is guaranteed on our dedicated servers within 48 hours of the order placement. However, if an order is placed on a weekend ( Sat, or Sunday ), 48 hours is dictated starting the following monday morning at 8am GMTT.

Cancellation:

All cancellations must be sent using the cancellation form in the support center/dashboard. Cancellations are effective the date the form is submitted unless otherwise request. While there are no cancellation fees, you must cancel prior to your next billing cycle. Payments made up to your cancellation date are not refundable unless you're canceling within the 30 money back guarantee period less any setup provisioning fees. Any due or past-due balance on your account must be paid in full to cancel. This does not include any added support or service fees you have contracted us to provide. Cancellation initiated by subscriber (for all accounts) Subscribers must notify OnlineAudience in writing via opening a ticket or using the Cancellation feature when they wish to cancel their accounts and must include in that ticket the date they wish to cancel. Cancellation must be initiated at least 3 days before the cancellation date and this must be at least 3 days prior to the client's next invoice date or the client will be billed for the next month. Subscriber is responsible for and must pay in full all fees which may have accrued including any monthly recurring fees and third party software fees. OnlineAudience will not pro-rate any charges. Notification to OnlineAudience of the transfer of the subscribers domain name from internic or associated organization to another hosting provider does not constitute a cancellation as these are often forged without the subscribers knowledge. Email is not acceptable for the written notice of cancellation to OnlineAudience as email and its sources may be forged.

Until an account is officially canceled via cancellation form you are obligated to pay for your account even if you do not use it. It costs us on an ongoing basis to provision space, power, and bandwidth for services of our clients. We continue to provision those services for your use until you cancel with us therefore we can not know if you are not using the space after we have provisioned it. Because we have provisioned services and provided you with details you have the ability to use your account. An unused account still uses system resources that could be used for other customers.

Resller Client Not using WHM for 30days will b suspended unless told by you that this will be a normal action. 60 Days will incur Deletion and Online Audience Default CGI Install. this is because you need to be Managing your Services unless you have Opted for a Managed Service 

Refunds :

If for any reason it is not possible for us to complete one of our services (by service we mean one of the products listed on our website under the page/category of "services"), or you change your mind before the service is installed/created then a full refund will be given. We offer a 7 day "7 days cooling off" period on all shared web hosting, reseller, master reseller, SHOUTcast and linux VPS services. During the 7 days after your order was made, you may cancel at any time and receive a full refund with no questions asked.

If you have previously ordered a product liable to the "7 days cooling off" period, you cannot receive a refund on a new order of any similar product, even if you cancel it during the "7 days cooling off" period.

If you request a cancellation of a service immediately, it becomes effective straight away, no pro rata refunds will be permitted. Services cannot be reinstated after a cancellation is processed. In this case a new order with new payment will be required. Services which include IP addresses cannot always be reinstated as they may have been used elsewhere for another customer.

Refunds are not available any time for domain names, SSL certificates, dedicated IP addresses, dedi servers or licenses. Refunds will not be provided if you have violated any policy set out in our Terms of Service.

PayPal subscriptions are the responsibility of the client. If the client cancels their product/service it is their responsibility to cancel their PayPal subscription. OnlineAudience Hosts are not liable to refund subscription payments or payments for renewal of services.

Under normal circumstances, the account will be terminated 7 days after becoming overdue. We have the right to suspend access to your account if you do not pay due invoices; we do send a reminder to you before you are due to pay via our client system. If your payment is overdue and you pay it late, then the period for which you are paying will still have started on the date that the payment became due; it does not start from the day you pay the overdue payment. If money is owed to Onlineaudience for any reason, including but not limited to PayPal disputes retracting funds which have been spent at OnlineAudience when you are not liable to a refund. You are not permitted to raise a PayPal dispute or file chargeback on any payment. This is seen as a breach of our terms of service. Any chargebacks or unauthorised refunds will be reported to our debt collection agency for collection, any fees associated with this will be paid by the debtor.If the fee isn't paid within seven (7) days the client risks the chance of his/her service being suspended and/or terminated without any refund and/or credit.

You may opt to purchase backup service for an additional fee. We will not restore a file any user has accidentally deleted or modified. The back-up restoration is for emergency procedures only. You are advised to backup all of your own files to your local drive or additional backup service. If we do have backups available for your files that you need restored, and if we have the ability and time to restore the file(s), there will be a £5 fee for restoring the files. We are not responsible for lost data, time, income or any other resource due to faulty backups or non-existent back-ups. Backup restoration is NOT a fast process. Due to the volume of data being stored, compression, and network file transfers, decompression, restoration, integrity checks, and other variables, the restoration process of large nodes can sometimes take several days.

Online Audience Customers now have access to unlimited disk space, bandwidth, and data transfer. Essentially then, you can use whatever disk space and bandwidth is necessary for your web hosting needs. On the majority of the Online Audience shared and reseller web hosting plans, there is no upward limit on the number of resources a single customer may use with respect to their web hosting. Subject to these terms, Online Audience makes every reasonable commercial effort to provide its customers with the storage, bandwidth, and data transfer resources required to power their websites, as long as the customer’s use of Online Audience’s services abides with our Terms of Service. Our goal is providing the resources you require for a typical website that may experience periods of growth, which may result in increasing demands for resources (such as disk space storage or data transfer) without being subject to additional hosting charges.

 

What is acceptable and appropriate usage?

Online Audience Web Hosting is continually investing in technology and support features. Our web hosting solution has specifically been designed to serve the web hosting needs of small and independently owned and operated businesses and organizations throughout the world. Since you will be hosting your website with hundreds of others on our servers in a virtual community, our offerings are not intended to support enterprise level or large company requirements. For that, we recommend purchasing at least a virtual private server or dedicated server solution.

Online Audience web hosting is a shared web hosting service, which ultimately means several customers' websites are hosted within the same server environment. To ensure that our hosting is first-class, reliable, and available to all customers within that server community, an individual customer's website usage cannot adversely affect the performance of other customers' sites. We monitor our servers 24/7/365 and in no way can one customer adversely affect the performance of that server. If this happens, we will take preventative measures to ensure that the entire community is protected.

Lastly, our web hosting service is intended to host websites, not backup or storage facility for users' data. Using your web hosting account primarily as an online storage space for archiving electronic files and images is strictly prohibited. Our servers are for web hosting usage only.

 

What is unlimited?

Unlimited disk space: Create a website as large as you like, hundreds or thousands of web pages; you will not be penalized for exceeding any upper or ceiling limit. However, please realize that there are many other users on our server and growing a website very large too fast will impede the performance of that server, as using too many server resources will negatively impact other customers on that server. We will place some constraints on how fast you can grow that website and monitor the server resources closely. The clear majority of our customers' sites grow at rates well within our rules, however, and will not be impacted.

 

Unlimited bandwidth and data transfer: Online Audience does not set limits on the amount of visitor traffic a website can receive or on the amount of content a customer can upload to their website in any given month. Online Audience. Bandwidth and data transfer charges are all-inclusive; there are no additional fees based on increased use of bandwidth, so long as the customer abides by the Terms of Service. This rule only comes into play when you use excess server processing power that negatively impacts the performance of the server and provides a bad customer experience in that server community. Minimizing the impact on an individual server's processing power is key to the overall performance of that server. In the clear majority of cases, if you use the web hosting service appropriately, visitors to your website will be able to view, download, and add as much content from your site as they wish. However, in certain circumstances, our server processing power, server memory, or anti-abuse controls could limit downloads or access from your site. Violators of the above rule will not be tolerated. You can upload all the content that you require each month subject to the rules as outlined above.

Unlimited hosting space but excessive MySQL files: On most Online Audience shared and reseller plans, we do not set limits on the amount of disk space or data transfer allowed for an individual customer account, nor do we charge additional fees based on an increased amount of usage, so long as the customer is compliant with our Terms of Service. However, Cyclone network’s services are designed to host websites and as such, we DO NOT provide unlimited space for online storage, backups, or the archiving of electronic files, documents, log files, etc., and such activity shall result in the termination of the customer’s account(s) without notice. Furthermore, accounts with an extraordinarily substantial number of files can have an adverse effect on server performance. This includes, but is not limited to, accounts with an excessive number of MySQL/PostgreSQL tables, or of a database size that may negatively impact the performance of our servers. Online Audience may request that the number of files/nodes, database tables or total database usage is reduced to ensure proper performance for all customers on that server, or we may terminate the customer’s account, with or without notice.

Unlimited Domain Hosting: Most Online Audience shared and reseller plans do not set an upper limit to the number of domains a customer can associate with their web hosting account.
