Hosting accounts that have an open dispute may be disabled for security purposes.
• Term and Termination of the Services.
  • Term of Services. The initial term of the Services purchased by you will be for the time period set forth in the registration form presented to you when you order the Services (the "Initial Term"). Unless you cancel prior to the end of the Initial Term or as otherwise stated in a notice sent to you at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of your then-current term, the Services will automatically renew for successive periods of equal length as the Initial Term (each a "Renewal Period"). You acknowledge, agree, and authorize us to automatically bill the applicable fee and/or charge your credit card or other payment method on file up to fifteen (15) days prior to the end of each Renewal Period, unless you terminate or cancel the Services prior to such charge as provided in this section. The "Term" of this Agreement shall include the Initial Term and all Renewal Periods, if any.
  • Termination Procedure. You may terminate or cancel the Services you purchased at any time during the Term by giving EasyCGI notice by phone or chat. The cancellation request is subject to verification of ownership of the account and/or domain, as determined in EasyCGI's sole discretion. In the event of such cancellation, you shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such cancellation subject to the terms of the thirty (30) day money-back guarantee if applicable.

  • Disabling automatic renewal option. Please see below procedure for opting out of automatic renewal.

    • Disabling automatic renewal option for basic hosting services, domain names or other add-on products. You may disable the automatic renewal option via the Renewal Center in the Control Panel. Additional instructions can be found here. After the account is downgraded to a free domain parking account or deleted, all User Content will be permanently removed from the server. Please make a backup of all User Content before you disable autorenewal. So long as your Account remains active, other products and services on the Account such as domain names or Domain Privacy will continue to autorenew.
  • Termination by EasyCGI.

In such event, EasyCGI will not refund to you any fees paid in advance of such termination, and you shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such termination.
  • Modification of Services. EasyCGI reserves the right to modify, change, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time.

• Refunds.
  • 30 Day Money-Back Guarantee
    • If you purchase an account with a thirty (30) day money-back guarantee, you may receive a full refund of all basic hosting fees paid (the "Money-back Guarantee Refund") if you cancel within the first thirty (30) days of the Initial Term (the "Money-back Guarantee Period"). To request a Money-back Guarantee Refund, please contact our billing department by using LiveChat. The Money-back Guarantee Refund shall only accrue and be due to you upon your compliance with, and subject in all respects to, the terms and conditions of this section. Money-back Guarantee Refunds only apply to basic hosting services and do not apply to domain registration fees, setup fees, or any fees for additional Services.
    • The Money-back Guarantee Refund is valid for PayPal and credit card payments only. Due to the costs associated with processing payments made by other methods, we are not able to offer the Money-back Guarantee Refund for other payment methods. Any refunds are made at the sole discretion of EasyCGI.
    • Only first-time hosting accounts are eligible for the Money-back Guarantee Refund. For example, if you previously had an account with EasyCGI and you canceled your account and signed up for a new account, you will not be eligible for the Money-back Guarantee Refund on the second account. In addition, refunds are not offered for accounts that are suspended or terminated for violating this Agreement.
  • Domain Name Refund. If your plan includes a free domain name and you are entitled to a Money-Back Guarantee Refund pursuant to the terms above, our standard fee of $15.00 for the domain name (and any applicable taxes) (the "Domain Name Fee") will be deducted from your refund if you would like to keep your domain.
  • Nonrefundable Fees. Fees paid by Subscriber in connection with the purchase of add-on services, including without limitation, SSL certificates, AppMachine, Site Backup Pro, Pay Per Click Marketing (PPC), cPanel QuickStart, WordPress QuickStart, Site Doctor, website transfer, Design Service Standard, Design Service Plus, Design Service Premium, SEO Package, SiteLock, Domain Privacy, and domain names are non-refundable.
  • Cancellations After 30 Days. EasyCGI does not offer refunds for cancellations that occur after thirty (30) calendar days following the purchase.
• EasyCGI as Reseller or Licensor. EasyCGI is acting only as a reseller or licensor of certain third party services, hardware, software and equipment used in connection with the Services ("Non-EasyCGI Products"). EasyCGI shall not be responsible for any changes in the Services that cause any Non-EasyCGI Product to become obsolete, require modification or alteration, or otherwise affect the performance of the Services. Any malfunction or manufacturer's defects of Non-EasyCGI Products either sold, licensed or provided by EasyCGI to you or purchased directly by you used in connection with the Services will not be deemed a breach of EasyCGI's obligations under this Agreement. Any rights or remedies you may have regarding the ownership, licensing, performance or compliance of any Non-EasyCGI Product are limited to those rights extended to you by the manufacturer of such Non-EasyCGI Product. You are entitled to use any Non-EasyCGI Product supplied by EasyCGI only in connection with your permitted use of the Services. You shall use your best efforts to protect and keep confidential all intellectual property provided by EasyCGI to you through any Non-EasyCGI Product and shall make no attempt to copy, alter, reverse engineer, or tamper with such intellectual property or to use it other than in connection with the Services. You shall not resell, transfer, export or re-export any Non-EasyCGI Product, or any technical data derived therefrom, in violation of any applicable United States or foreign law.
• Internet Protocol (IP) Address Ownership. If EasyCGI assigns you an Internet Protocol ("IP") address for your use, you shall have no right to use that IP address except as permitted by EasyCGI in its sole discretion in connection with the Services during the Term. EasyCGI shall retain ownership of all IP addresses assigned to you by EasyCGI, and EasyCGI reserves the right to change or remove any and all such IP addresses in its sole discretion.
• Resource Usage.
  • Shared Hosting.
    • Acceptable Use Policy. Hosting space is intended for use in accordance with EasyCGI's Acceptable Use Policy, and is limited to Web files, active e-mail and content of the hosted User Websites, not for storage (whether of media, e-mails, or other data). Hosting space further may not be used as offsite storage of electronic files, e-mail or FTP hosts. EasyCGI expressly reserves the right to review every user account for excessive usage of CPU, bandwidth, disk space and other resources that may be a result of your violation of this Agreement or the Acceptable Use Policy. EasyCGI may, in its sole discretion, terminate access to the Services, apply additional fees, or remove/delete User Content for those User accounts that are found to be in violation of EasyCGI policies. You hereby agree that EasyCGI shall have no liability due to any action that EasyCGI may take, including without limitation suspension or termination of Services in connection with your violation of this section.
    • Unlimited Hosting Space; excessive MySQL files. EasyCGI does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of disk space a User can use for the User's Website, nor does EasyCGI charge additional fees based on an increased amount of disk space used, provided User's use of the disk space complies with this Agreement (i.e. files are used for User Websites and not for storage). Accounts with a large number of files (inode count in excess of 200,000) can have an adverse affect on server performance. Similarly, accounts with an excessive number of MySQL/PostgreSQL tables (i.e., in excess of 1000 database tables) or of database size (i.e., in excess of 3GB total MySQL/PostgreSQL usage or 2GB MySQL/PostgreSQL usage in a single database) negatively affect the performance of the server.
