This Agreement governs Customer’s use of Eleven2’s Web Hosting service.
1. Services
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and contingent on Customer’s satisfaction of Eleven2’s credit approval requirements, Eleven2 agrees to provide the web hosting services described in the Order for the fees stated in the Order.
2. Term
The initial service term of the Agreement shall begin on the date that Eleven2 generates an e-mail message to Customer announcing the activation of the Customer’s account (the “Service Commencement Date”) and shall continue for the number of months stated in the Order (the “Initial Term”). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew unless Eleven2 or Customer provides the other with written notice of non-renewal through the customer center which is located at http://eleven2.com/brain. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term may be referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Term.”
3. Payments
(a) Fees.
Fees are payable in advance on the first day of each billing cycle. Customer’s billing cycle shall be monthly, quarter, semi-annually, annually, or bi-annually as indicated on the Order, beginning on the Service Commencement Date. Eleven2 may require payment for the first billing cycle before beginning service. If the Order provides for credit/debit card billing, Customer authorizes Eleven2 to bill subsequent fees to the credit/debit card on or after the first day of each successive billing cycle during the Term of this Agreement; otherwise Eleven2 will invoice Customer via electronic mail to the Primary Customer Contact listed on the Order. Invoiced fees may be issued on or before the 1st day of each billing cycle, and the fees shall be due on the 7th day following invoice date, but in no event earlier than the first day of each billing cycle.
Payments must be made in United States dollars. Customer is responsible for providing Eleven2 with changes to billing information (such as credit card expiration, change in billing address) at its option, Eleven2 may accrue charges to be made to a credit/debit card until such charges exceed $10.00. Eleven2 may charge interest on overdue amounts at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum non-usurious rate under applicable law. Eleven2 may suspend the service without notice if payment for the service is overdue. Fees not disputed within sixty (60) days of due date are conclusively deemed accurate. Customer agrees to pay Eleven2’s reasonable reinstatement fee following a suspension of service for non-payment, and to pay Eleven2’s reasonable costs of collection of overdue amounts, including collection agency fees, attorney fees and court costs.
(b) Fee Increases.
Eleven2 may increase its fees at any time and at its sole discretion for services even within a current contract if there is any material change with respect to any service provided to Eleven2 by any local government, municipality, utility provider, bandwidth provider, or control panel operator.
(b1) Auto Upgrades.
Eleven2 may upgrade a customer’s hosting package to the next available package to maintain service if the customer exceeds their current package limits. Eleven2 will bill the customer for the upgrade.
(c) Taxes.
At Eleven2’s request Customer shall remit to Eleven2 all sales, VAT or similar tax imposed on the provision of the services (but not in the nature of an income tax on Eleven2); regardless of whether Eleven2 fails to collect the tax at the time the related services are provided.
(d) Refunds.
Refunds are only valid on the the initial term for Shared and Reseller web hosting packages. Refunds are not available on VPS Servers, Dedicated Servers, Cloud Servers, or Domain Registrations, or any other services not listed here. Refunds are not available on account renewals.
(e) Credits.
At times when a Credit is issued to an account for any reason, this credit is non-refundable. Furthermore any positive credit balance on an account at the time of account termination is immediately forfeited.
(f) Early Termination.
Customer acknowledges that the amount of the fee for the service is based on Customer’s agreement to pay the fee for the entire Initial Term, or Renewal Term, as applicable. In the event Eleven2 terminates the Agreement for Customer’s breach of the Agreement in accordance with Section 9 (Termination), or Customer terminates the service other than in accordance with Section 9 (Termination) for Eleven2’s breach, the unpaid fees for each billing cycle remaining in the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable, are due on the business day following termination of the Agreement.
(g) Chargebacks
All disputes and overcharges must be reported directly to the Company, in writing, within thirty (30) days. Any Customer that initiates a chargeback, reversal, retrieval request, or other dispute with their credit card issuing bank and/or PayPal (“Dispute”) will be immediately suspended or terminated pending investigation.
