Terms of Service Revised 01/01/2005
UNLIMITED USE POLICY
High bandwidth usage: BaptistHost.net offers an unlimited use policy
by maintaining very large ratios of bandwidth per customer. In rare cases, BaptistHost.net
may find a customer to be using server resources to such an extent that he or she
may jeopardize server performance and resources for other customers. In such instances,
BaptistHost.net reserves the right to impose the High Resource User Policy for the
consideration of all customers.
HIGH RESOURCE USER POLICY
Resources are defined as bandwidth and/or processor utilization.
BaptistHost.net may implement the following policy to its sole discretion:
When a website is found to be monopolizing the resources available BaptistHost.net
reserves the right to suspend that site immediately*. This policy is only implemented
in extreme circumstances and is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers. Customers
may be offered an option whereby BaptistHost.net continues hosting the website for
an additional fee.
* Please Note: BaptistHost.net Reserves the right to suspend services to any account
that it find affects overall server performance for other customers hosted on the
same server (this does not necessarily mean issues related to bandwidth consumption).
This suspension is effective immediately on action by the Abuse Team and customers
are reminded to read the Backups policy below regarding this.
PRICE FREEZE GUARANTEE
BaptistHost.net guarantees for as long as you are a continuous client, in
good financial standing, and you keep renewing your contract for web hosting service,
we guarantee that you will be locked into paying today's web hosting prices forever.
FREE DOMAIN NAME
When a user signs up for the BaptistHost.net Unlimited Plan, BaptistHost.net
will pay for the cost of their new domain name registration. BaptistHost.net will
keep paying it every year, for as long as they are a continuous client, in good financial
standing, and keep renewing their contract for web hosting service. (please see exclusion
below) This only applies to domains with extensions .com, .biz, .info, .net, .org
and .co.uk If the client decides to transfer an already registered domain name to
BaptistHost.net's servers for use with the BaptistHost.net Unlimited Plan, then they
are responsible for all Registrar fees for that domain.
Exclusion: BaptistHost.net registers all new domain
names through wholesale domain name registrars. These domains then reside in a single
account at the registrar and can therefore be renewed by BaptistHost.net as part of
the service supplied. If a domain name is transferred from this account (either to
another registrar or to another account at the wholesaler concerned) the domain name
concerned is no longer eligible for free renewal by BaptistHost.net and all renewal
fees become the responsibility of the customer at time of transfer.
Please Note: To register your domain quickly and
keep prices to a minimum we bulk register domains. This means
that you will see BaptistHost.netdetails as the current domain name owner.
We will transfer ownership of the domain name to you when a request to do
this is submitted on our online Helpdesk.** This enables some clients to remain anonymous
owners of their domain name.
(** requests for transfer of domain ownership from ourselves to you the customer will
only be accepted a minimum of 6 months after full payment has been made for the account
concerned (initial order or renewal payment whichever has been most recently charged).
If you wish to request that the ownership details are updated then please submit a
ticket to the DNS Changes category at our online helpdesk at http://www.baptisthost.net
Please submit the full new ownership details you would like listed and submit your
ticket to the DNS Changes category.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
If you try our service for 30 days, stay within our terms and conditions stated here,
and decide that it does not meet your needs within that amount of time, then all you
have to do is cancel your hosting account before the 30th day and you will
receive your hosting fee back.
This does not include the domain registration fee, though, as that is non-refundable
since we can not get our money back from the registrar.
CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS
BaptistHost.net reserves the right to cancel the service at any time.
In this event customers will be entitled to a pro rata refund based upon the remaining
period of membership. If a customer contravenes BaptistHost.net's terms of service
a refund will not be issued in the event of a cancellation.
Customers may cancel their account at any time. Any incentives offered to customers
when opening the account will also be cancelled. Customers may be given the option
to purchase services which were offered as start-up incentives in the result of a
cancellation. Fees charged on a prepay basis such as annual fees are non-refundable.
Customers are not entitled to receive a refund unless the service is cancelled by
BaptistHost.net and the customer has not contravened BaptistHost.net's terms of service.
In the event of a refund, US$16 is retained by BaptistHost.net to cover annual .com,
.net, .org or .co.uk domain name expenses or US$32 to cover .biz .us or .info biannual
domain expenses. If the customer opted for a free domain transfer upon signup then
a US$10.00 service charge is retained by BaptistHost.net.
Chargebacks/Credit Card disputes
If you dispute the credit card charge that we charge for our services, we reserve
the right to bring your web site / domain down as soon as we are informed of it. We
are hurt by chargebacks. You may not understand what it does to a business when there
are undeserved chargebacks on the record.
Domain Registration
This section applies to those domain names we have purchased on behalf of clients
1. Fees
As consideration for the domain name registration services provided by BaptistHost.net.
You will be notified (by email only) when renewal fees are due or if you have a hosting
package with us for that domain, your account will be automatically debited 15 days
prior to it's renewal time to be sure it gets renewed, and it shall be your responsibility
to ensure that such fees are paid. If you do not respond or pay within the specified
time period for registrations or renewals or if you have the charges reversed on your
credit card after ordering the domain (even though you ordered it), the ownership
of the domain will transfer to BaptistHost.net. and will not be available for purchase.
You agree that BaptistHost.net. shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to
any such cancellation, and that BaptistHost.net. may cancel or reassign the domain
name in the event of any delinquency or abuse of these terms. We reserve the right
to refuse any domain registration request at our discretion. All domain registration
fees are non-refundable. Once the domain is ordered, we can not get your money back
if you change your mind.
Agents
Client understands, acknowledges and agrees that by using the domain on or any service
of Clean-Solutions.net, client ratifies and is bound by this Agreement even if an agent (such as a
webmaster, ISP, or employee) entered into this Agreement on the client's behalf, and
even if client has not itself read this Agreement. Further, client is responsible
for all information submitted by its agent. Clean-Solutions.net(BaptistHost.net.) will not cancel
this Agreement, or refund any fees paid to it, because of errors or omissions of the
agent in the registration process (e.g., if such agent provides incorrect information)
or because of errors or omissions in changes to Registrant's client information, without
client's actual consent, as such apparent authority will suffice to bind the client.
By acting on the client's behalf, such agent represents and warrants to the client
and BaptistHost.net. that the agent is authorized to bind client hereto and that it
has fully and thoroughly advised client of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
You agree that if you license the use of your domain name to a third party, you remain
the domain name holder, and remain responsible for all obligations under this Agreement.
