Terms Of Service.

The HostJelly Terms

1.) Account Setup / Email on file

We will setup your account after we have received payment and we and/or our payment partner(s) have screened the order(s) in case of fraud. It is your responsibility to provide us with an email address which is not @ the domain(s) you are signing up under. If there is ever an abuse issue or we need to contact you, the primary email address on file will be used for this purpose. It is your responsibility to ensure the email address on file is current or up to date at all times. Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of your account. In any service or product purchases or high risk transactions, it will be necessary to provide government issued identification and possibly a scan of the credit card used for the purchase. If you fail to meet these requirements, the order may be considered fraudulent in nature and be denied.

Transfers

Our transfers team will make every effort to help you move your site to us. However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and we can not make guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete an account transfer. Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult if not impossible to migrate some or all account data. We will try our best, but in some cases we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host.

The free transfer services are available for 30 days from your sign up date. Transfers outside of the 30 day free period will incur a charge; please contact a member of the transfers department with specific details to receive a price quote.

If a weak password is used, your account may be suspended until you agree to use a more secure password. Audits may be done to prevent weak passwords from being used. If an audit is performed, and your password is found to be weak, we will notify you and allow time for you to change/update your password.

3.) Zero Tolerance Spam Policy

We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail, bulk emailing, and spam. "Safe lists" and purchased lists will be treated as spam. Any user who sends out spam will have their account terminated with or without notice.

Please read http://www.hostjelly.in/policies/email-policy/ for our generalized mail policy.

Please read http://www.hostjelly.in/policies/dedicated-email-policy/ for our dedicated server mail policy.

Sites advertised via SPAM (Spamvertised) may not be hosted on our servers. This provision includes, but is not limited to SPAM sent via fax, email, instant messaging, or usenet/newsgroups. No organization or entity listed in the ROKSO may be hosted on our servers. Any account which results in our IP space being blacklisted will be immediately suspended and/or terminated.

HostJelly reserves the right to charge the holder of the account used to send any unsolicited e-mail a clean up fee or any charges incurred for blacklist removal. This cost of the clean up fee is entirely at the discretion of HostJelly.

4.) Payment Information

You agree to supply appropriate payment for the services received from HostJelly, in advance of the time period during which such services are provided. You agree that until and unless you notify HostJelly of your desire to cancel any or all services received, those services will be billed on a recurring basis. This includes when accounts are suspended. When an account's invoices are paid outside of the 10 day grace period, invoices will not be automatically generated. However, after the customer notifies HostJelly of his or intent to resume service, invoices will be manually generated and payment expected for the time the account was suspended.

Cancellations must be done in writing via the cancellation form provided. Once we receive your cancellation and have confirmed all necessary information with you via e-mail, we will inform you in writing (typically email) that your account has been canceled. Your cancellation confirmation will contain a ticket/tracking number in the subject for your reference, and for verification purposes. You should immediately receive an automatic "Your request has been received..." email with a tracking number. An employee will confirm your request (and process your cancellation) shortly thereafter. If you do not hear back from us, or do not receive the automatic confirmation email within a few minutes after submitting your cancellation, please contact us immediately via phone. We require that cancellations of service are done through the online form to (a) confirm your identity, (b) confirm in writing you are prepared for all files/emails to be removed, and (c) document the request. This process reduces the likelihood of mistakes, fraudulent/malicious requests, and ensures you are aware that the files, emails, and account may be removed immediately after a cancellation request is processed.

As a client of HostJelly, it is your responsibility to ensure that your payment information is up to date, and that all invoices are paid on time. HostJelly provides a 10 day grace period from the time the invoice is generated and when it must be paid. Any invoice that is outstanding for 10 days and not paid before due date will result in a 10% late fee and/or an account suspension until account balance has been paid in full. The 10% late fee is applied in addition to whatever else is owed to HostJelly for services rendered. Access to the account will not be restored until payment has been received.

It is the customer's responsibility to notify our sales team via email at [email protected] after paying for a domain renewal and to ensure the email is received and acted upon. Domain renewal notices and invoices are provided as a courtesy reminder and HostJelly cannot be held responsible for failure to renew a domain or failure to notify a customer about a domain's renewal.

Invoices that have been paid more than once with multiple Paypal Subscriptions can only be added as credit towards the account and cannot be refunded via Paypal. If you require assistance with this provision, please contact [email protected]

HostJelly reserves the right to change the monthly payment amount and any other charges at anytime.

5.) Chargeback Policy

The purpose of this chargeback policy is to recover operating expenses incurred from protecting the company’s financial well-being from those individuals who would take financial advantage of our services instead of utilizing our easy refund policy.

What is a chargeback?
When a bank forcibly reverses a credit card transaction, returning funds to the cardholder, it is known as a chargeback. Consumers may request a chargeback for nearly any reason. As a result, it is possible to commit "friendly fraud": a credit card industry term used to describe a consumer who makes an Internet purchase with his/her own credit card and then issues a chargeback through his/her card provider after receiving the goods or services.

How does HostJelly handle chargebacks?
HostJelly considers chargebacks and any kind of disputes through payment processors to be fraud if a customer has made no reasonable effort to work with us to resolve any problems with a purchase. In other words, we expect our customers to follow our refund policy instead of issuing a chargeback or opening a dispute, and chargebacks/disputes are always considered to be fraud. Fraudulent chargebacks may be turned over to a law enforcement or collection agency.

Since fraudulent purchases are often associated with malware and phishing, immediate termination of all services related to the chargeback is required to prevent possible damage. When HostJelly receives a chargeback notice, the account in which the service was purchased is immediately blocked, and all related services in the account are terminated.

Please, be advised, that a customer must reverse the chargeback in order to restore a blocked account. This returns the initial funds to us, cancels the penalty fee we receive for "allowing" fraud to be committed, and generally erases any "black marks" against us for the transaction. We do not accept additional payment for services on a different card.

All chargebacks not only cost our employees time away from our usual and customary matters of conducting normal business, but cost us money. Therefore, you agree that if you, the buyer, choose to do business with HostJelly, and you issue a chargeback, and you do not win the chargeback argument, you agree to pay us $250 OR INR.16500 for our time responding to the matter. You, the buyer, authorize us to charge this amount to your account balance or credit card.

How do I cancel a chargeback or dispute?
To cancel a chargeback, you must contact your credit card provider and issue a chargeback reversal. To cancel an open dispute you must contact the online payment processor and close your dispute.

6.) Backups and Data Loss

In order to allow us to provide the best service to you, HostJelly accounts are backed up Monthly as a courtesy. However, these backups are intended for HostJelly administrative purposes only, for emergency situations, to allow us to provide excellent service to our customers. As part of its commitment to first-rate customer service, HostJelly always seeks to create complete and accurate backups of customer accounts. Even the best and most complete and redundant backup systems can and do fail for a variety of reasons, despite the best efforts of the Web hosting service. THEREFORE, HOSTJELLY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE AVAILABILITY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENCY, OR INTEGRITY OF THESE BACKUPS OR THE DATA THEY CONTAIN. Consequently, you must not rely upon the availability, completeness, currency, or integrity of these backups. Customers are responsible for maintaining their own backups on their own personal computers or other computers.

HostJelly does not provide any sort of compensation for lost, inaccurate, incomplete, corrupt, non-existant, or outdated data in the event that HostJelly’s backups do not function properly, regardless of the reason(s) for any such malfunction, even if the malfunction was due to the fault or negligence of HostJelly or any of its employees or agents. You understand and agree that HostJelly backup policy does not create any warranties for whose breach HostJelly can be held liable.

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 INR.1800/- 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. We highly encourage everyone to purchase their own separate managed backups from one of our backup plans if your site or data is critical to your business or livelihood.

7.) Cancellations and Refunds

HostJelly reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or otherwise restrict access to the account at any time with or without notice.

Any abuse of our staff in any medium or format will result in the suspension or termination of your services.

Customers may cancel at any time via a cancellation form. HostJelly gives you an unconditional 15 day money back guarantee on managed shared hosting, and reseller solutions for any customer who paid the first invoice with a credit card or with Paypal.

The following methods of payments are non-refundable, and refunds will be posted as credit to the hosting account:

Western Union Payments

Money orders

There are no refunds on SEO services, Virtual Private Server, dedicated servers, administrative fees, install fees for custom software, or domain name purchases. Refund requests for shared and reseller accounts after the initial 15 days will be refunded on a prorated basis of any unused time.

Only first-time accounts are eligible for a refund. For example, if you've had an account with us before, canceled and signed up again, you will not be eligible for a refund or if you have opened a second account with us.

Violations of the Terms of Service will waive the refund policy.

8.) Resource Usage

User may not: Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc. Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD. Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers. Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network. Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers. Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include("http://yourdomain.com/include.php") use include("include.php")

8b.) Disk Space Usage

You are allocated a Disk space. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more Disk space is purchased at an additional fee 1 MB INR.10/- Year, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused transfer in one month or Year cannot be carried over to the next month or Year.

8c.) INODES

The use of more than 250,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in a warning first, and if no action is taken future suspension. Accounts found to be exceeding the 50,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid over-usage. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode.

Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension. The primary cause of excessive inodes seems to be due to users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose "Mail", then "Default Address", "Set Default Address", and then type in: :fail: No such user here.

8d.) Backup Limit

Any shared account using more than 20 gigs of disk space will be removed from our off site weekly backup with the the exception of Databases continuing to be backed up. All data will continue to be mirrored to a secondary drive which helps protect against data loss in the event of a drive failure.

9.) Bandwidth Usage

You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month.

9a.) Money back Guarantee

On dedicated servers and collocation no full refund will be honored -- the 15 day money back guarantee does not apply. We reserve the right to refund a prorated amount or no refund at all.

Each of HostJelly's managed shared and reseller servers carry a 15 day unconditional money back guarantee on them. If you are not completely satisfied with our services within the first 15 days of your service, you will be given a full refund of the contract amount. Remember, this is only for monthly shared or reseller packages and does not apply to dedicated servers, administrative fees, install fees for custom software, or domain name purchases.

9b.) Uptime Guarantee

If your shared / reseller server has a physical downtime that is not within the 99.9% uptime you may receive one month of credit on your account. Approval of the credit is at the discretion of HostJelly dependant upon justification provided. Third party monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due to a variety of factors including the monitor's network capacity/transit availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server which may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services. To request a credit, please contact [email protected] with justification. All requests must be made in writing via email. Uptime guarantees only apply to shared / reseller solutions. Dedicated servers are covered by a network guarantee in which the credit is prorated for the amount of time the server is down which is not related to our uptime guarantee.

10.) Reseller: Client Responsibility

Resellers are responsible for supporting their clients. HostJelly does not provide support to our Reseller's Clients. If a reseller's client contacts us, we reserve the right to place the client account on hold until the reseller can assume their responsibility for their client. All support requests must be made by the reseller on their clients' behalf for security purposes. Resellers are also responsible for all content stored or transmitted under their reseller account and the actions of their clients'. HostJelly will hold any reseller responsible for any of their clients actions that violate the law or the terms of service.

11.) Shared (non-reseller accounts) / Semidedicated Servers

Shared accounts may not resell web hosting to other people, if you wish to resell hosting you must use a reseller account. Semi-dedicated servers are not backed up. You must maintain your own backups. you can not change or rename the primary domain name of the hosting account. if it is found we will delete the domain from the server and we will be not responsible for any data loss. we not provide Mysql or MSSQL server remote connection, due to security purpose.

12.) Dedicated Servers

HostJelly reserves the right to reset the password on a dedicated server if the password on file is not current so that we may do security audits as required by our datacenter. It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that there is a valid email address and current root password on file for their dedicated server on file to prevent downtime from forced password resets. HostJelly reserves the right to audit servers as needed and to perform administrative actions at the request of our datacenter. Dedicated servers are NOT backed up by us and it is the responsibility of the client to maintain backups or have a solution for this. You may purchase an additional hard drive and maintain backups to it as the most simple solution. Please contact [email protected] if you wish to obtain a secondary hard drive. It is your responsibility to maintain backups.
