You must request credit by sending an electronic mail message to refunds@ivisionhost.com. For security, the body of this message must contain your account number, the dates and times of the unavailability of your website, and such other customer identification requested by Ivisionhost.com. Credits will usually be applied within sixty (60) days of your credit request. Credit to your account shall be your sole and exclusive remedy in the event of an outage.

(4.) Restrictions
Credits shall not be provided to you in the event that you have any outage resulting from (1.) scheduled maintenance as posted from time to time at Ivisionhost.com, (2.) your behavior or the performance or failure of your equipment, facilities or applications, or (3.) circumstances beyond Ivisionhost.com's reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, embargo, fire, flood, strike or other labor disturbance, interruption of or delay in transportation, unavailability of interruption or delay in telecommunications or third party services, including DNS propagation, domain name registration / transfer, failure of third party software or hardware or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for provision of your web site, or (4.) a client breaking any item in Ivisionhost.com's "terms of conditions and acceptable use policy" causing a machine to fail as a result.

CGI Scripts

Each shared web hosting account comes with its own cgi-bin. You are free to use any CGI scripts you wish, however we reserve the right to disable any CGI script that effects normal shared server operation without prior warning. (this section does not apply to managed dedicated servers)

Chat Rooms

We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms within a shared hosting account, without approving it with the Ivisionhost.com Support Team. Most chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option. However, we do provide a choice of Java chat rooms for a small extra charge that will more than fill your needs and run without hindering the performance of the machine for others. Note: Parachat chat rooms do not apply to this rule. They are perfectly fine to install.

Abuse of SMTP Mail Server

We do not allow clients to send more than 1000 pieces of e-mail per day from a shared hosting account. If you do send more than 1000 pieces of e-mail per day, your account will be placed on hold for Network Abuse. If you are sending legitimate e-mails and they total more than 1000 per day your account will be moved to a special server that is specifically designed to handle high volumes of e-mail. You will be charged $50.00/month in addition to your regular hosting charges.

Background Running Programs

We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a one-to-one basis and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed. (this section does not apply to managed dedicated servers)

IRC

We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers. You can however, install IRC clients on managed dedicated servers. IRC servers are not permitted on our network.

Disk Overages

All Ivisionhost.com accounts come with metered disk space. Should you use more than your alloted disk space you will be charged $.25 per megabyte per month.

Payment Policies

All accounts are set up on a pre-pay basis. Setup fees are charged for all new accounts and major account changes and are non-refundable. All pricing is guaranteed for the term of pre-payment. Ivisionhost.com reserves the right to change prices at any time, unless other terms have been agreed upon. Any account not brought current within a week (7 days) of e-mail notice or exceeding this time frame in any way is subject to suspension. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time that the customer notifies Ivisionhost.com at Account Cancellation Hotline to request for termination of services. All payment is in U.S. currency. Ivisionhost.com will bill each client $50.00 per returned check, per wire transfer received and per credit card chargeback received. All Ivisionhost.com accounts are setup on anniversary billing cycles. Your particular billing cycle corresponds to the contract length that was initially chosen at setup. Your account will automatically renew at this length. There is no fee to change to a shorter billing cycle at the end of the current cycle. However, if you wish to change to a shorter billing cycle, during a current cycle, there will be a $50.00 fee. Please contact the billing department at billing@ivisionhost.com should you wish to change your anniversay billing cycle. Any account that is not brought current prior to deactivation will be charged a $50.00 reactivation fee as well as a $15.00 late charge, per domain deactivated. In addition, if your credit card declines for any reason Ivisionhost.com will charge your account an additional $5.00 service charge every time your card is declined. Ivisionhost.com may impose a debt service charge equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the overdue balance (or such lesser amount as may be required by law) for each month or fraction thereof the overdue amount remains unpaid. All taxes, fees and governmental charges relating to the Services provided hereunder (other than income taxes of Ivisionhost.com) shall be paid by Customer. Ivisionhost.com accepts paper checks from customers for payment of web hosting services and fees associated with your account. However, there will be a $5.00/month processing fee for each customer paying by check. Additionally, if you decide to switch your payment method of billing cycle you will be charged a $10 processing fee for that change.

Cancellation

Ivisionhost.com reserves the right to cancel service at any time. All fees paid in advance of cancellation will be pro-rated and paid by Ivisionhost.com if Ivisionhost.com institutes it's right of cancellation. Any violation of policies which results in extra costs will be billed to the customer (i.e. transfer, space etc.)

All of Ivisionhost.com's web hosting plans are backed by a 30 day money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with our services or support within the first 30 days of your contract, you will be given a full refund of the contract amount excluding setup fees, domain registration fees, add-on/upgrade fees and overages. Setup fees are refundable only if the account order is canceled prior to account activation. For web hosting contracts of 3 months or less, the full contract amount less any setup fees and overages will be refunded if Ivisionhost.com is notified within the first 30 days following activation. No refund is available after the 30th day. For web hosting contracts longer than 3 months, a refund equal to one half of the contract amount less any setup fees and overages will be given if Ivisionhost.com is notified prior to the first day of the third month of the contract term. If you cancel prior to the end of your contract term and you received special pre-pay rates, your hosting fees will be adjusted so that you pay the regular, non-discounted monthly fees. No refunds for any reason will be given once the third month of the contract term has begun. This policy does not apply to any additional services such as overages, referrer logs, real audio/video, additional disk space, additional pop accounts, etc. Due to security concerns, all account cancellations must be done following the steps outlined at Account Cancellation Hotline. Cancellations via email requests will not constitute acceptance of any cancellation. Refunds will be made by company check or issued back to your credit card within 30 days of receipt of cancellation. To receive your refund, you must terminate this Agreement in the manner described in above and cease using the Services.
