Any malfunction or manufacturer’s defects of Non-AnixHost Products, either sold, licensed or provided by AnixHost to you will not be deemed a breach of AnixHost’s obligations under this Agreement.

      Any rights or remedies you may have regarding the ownership, licensing, performance or compliance of any Non-AnixHost Product are limited to those rights extended to you by the manufacturer of such Non-AnixHost Product.

  13. TRANSFERS
    1. Our transfer team will make every effort to help you move your site to us. Transfers are provided as a courtesy service. We do not make any 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. In some cases we may not be able to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host.
    2. The free transfer service is available for thirty (30) days from your sign up date. Transfers outside of the thirty (30) day period will incur a charge; please contact a member of our Transfers department to receive a price quote. In no event shall AnixHost be held liable for any lost or missing data or files resulting from a transfer to or from AnixHost. You are solely responsible for backing up your data in all circumstances.
  14. PAYMENTS AND BILLING
    1. AnixHost will automatically bill your payment method on file up to fifteen (15) days prior to the due date on all terms of one (1) or more years; for terms less than one (1) year in length, AnixHost will attempt to bill your payment method on file up to five (5) days prior to due date. All fees are billed in United States Dollars (“USD”) and are subject to change with thirty (30) days notice prior notice to you.
    2. Your “Billing Term” is the period of time you have chosen to receive bills for the Services. For example, your Billing Term may be monthly, quarterly, or annually.
    3. AnixHost is only able to automatically collect payment from customers with credit cards stored on file (as opposed to credit cards used one for one time transactions) or active PayPal subscriptions. All other payment methods (one time credit card payments, check, money order, PayPal one time payments, etc.) must be initiated manually by you. It is your obligation to ensure that reoccurring fees are paid on their due date.
    4. As a customer of AnixHost, it is your responsibility to ensure that all billing information on file with AnixHost is accurate, and that any credit card or other automated payment method on file has sufficient funds for processing. You are solely responsible for any and all fees charged to your payment method by the issuer, bank, or financial institution including, but not limited to, membership, overdraft, insufficient funds and over the credit limit fees. AnixHost screens all orders for fraud and other unethical practices. Services will not be activated until this fraud screen is completed. In certain cases, if your account is flagged for fraud, third party services, such as domain name registrations, will not be processed. AnixHost has no liability for the failure to provide Services, including third party services, if your account fails its fraud screen.
    5. Domain Payments

      It is solely your responsibility to notify AnixHost’s Billing department via a support ticket after purchasing a domain. Domain renewal notices are provided as a courtesy reminder and AnixHost is not responsible for a failure to renew a domain or a failure to notify a customer about a domain’s renewal. Domain renewals are billed and renewed thirty (30) days before the renew date.

    6. Autorenewals

      Unless otherwise provided, you agree that until and unless you notify AnixHost of your desire to cancel the Services, you will be billed on an automatically recurring basis to prevent any disruption to your Services, using your credit card or other billing information on file with us.

    7. Fraud

      It is a violation of this Agreement for you to misuse or fraudulently use credit cards, charge cards, electronic funds transfers, electronic checks, or any other payment method. AnixHost may report any such misuse or fraudulent use, as determined in AnixHost’s sole discretion, to governmental and law enforcement authorities, credit reporting services, financial institutions and/or credit card companies.

    8. Payment Card Industry Security Standard Disclaimer

      AnixHost complies with the Payment Card Industry Security Standard (“PCI Standard”) in connection with the collection and processing of our customer’s data and billing information. However, you are solely responsible for the security of the data and billing information on your User Website. AnixHost does not monitor User Websites for PCI compliance and we are not able to verify whether a User Website complies with the PCI Standard.

  15. LATE PAYMENTS
    1. Any invoices not being paid in full by the end of the first day of the Billing Term will be given a seven (7) day grace period. If payment is not made within the seven (7) day grace period, AnixHost reserves the right to suspend your Service(s) with AnixHost and to charge a $10 “late penalty.” Ten (10) days following suspension of Services for non-payment, AnixHost reserves the right to terminate Service(s) for non-payment.
    2. Access to the account will not be restored until payment has been received. If you fail to pay the fees as specified herein, AnixHost may suspend or terminate your account and pursue the collection costs incurred by AnixHost, including without limitation, any arbitration and legal fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. AnixHost will not activate new orders or activate new packages for customers who have an outstanding balance on their account.
    3. AnixHost is not responsible for any damages or losses as a result of suspension or termination for non-payment of your account. In addition, AnixHost reserves the right to refuse to re-activate your Services until any and all outstanding invoice(s) have been paid in full.
    4. Dedicated servers are subject to being reclaimed and all content deleted if you fail to make a timely payment. If you make a late payment we do not automatically reactivate the dedicated servers. Contact AnixHost’s Billing Department directly after you make a late payment to reactivate the dedicated server.
  16. REFUND POLICY AND BILLING DISPUTES
    1. AnixHost offers a thirty (30) day money- back guarantee for AnixHost’s managed shared and reseller hosting services only. If you are not completely satisfied with these hosting services and you terminate your account within thirty (30) days of signing up for the Services, you will be given a full refund of the amount paid for hosting. This money-back guarantee only applies to fees paid for hosting services and does not apply to administrative fees, install fees for custom software or other setup fees, or to any fees for any other additional services including domain registration or transfer.
    2. No refunds are offered on dedicated server packages, vps hosting, cloud servers, custom packages, setup fees, domain registrations, domain transfers, domain renewals, SSL certificates, WHMCS Licenses, addons, dedicated IP addresses, advanced support fees, processing fees, or software licenses. AnixHost reserves the right to deduct fees for value added services that may have been included in the Services at no additional fee, such as a SSL certificate or free domain name registration, from any refunds or account credits.
    3. Only first-time accounts are eligible for a refund under the 30 day money back guarantee. For example, if you had or still have an account with AnixHost before, canceled and signed up again, you will not be eligible for a refund or if you have opened a second account with AnixHost. In addition, refunds are not offered for accounts that are suspended or terminated for violating this Agreement.
    4. Refunds will be issued only to the payment method that the original payment was sent from, and may take up to one (1) week to process.
    5. The following methods of payment are not refundable any circumstances (including during the money back guarantee period, if one applies), and refunds will be posted solely as credit to the hosting account for current or future Services: bank wire transfers, Western Union payments, checks and money orders.
    6. AnixHost will not activate new orders or provide additional Services for customers who have an outstanding balance with AnixHost. For a new order to be setup or a new package to be activated, you must have a balance of $0.00, unless otherwise stated by AnixHost in writing.
    7. Exchange rate fluctuations for international payments are constant and unavoidable. Like all payments, all refunds are processed in U.S. dollars, and will reflect the exchange rate in effect on the date of the refund. All refunds are subject to this fluctuation and AnixHost is not responsible for any change in exchange rates between time of payment and time of refund. In addition, AnixHost reserves the right to refuse a refund at any time for any or no reason.
    8. If you believe there is an error in AnixHost’s billing, you must contact AnixHost about it, in writing, within thirty (30) days of the date you are billed or charged. AnixHost’s obligation to consider your claim is contingent on your providing it with sufficient facts for AnixHost to investigate your claims. You waive your right to dispute any charges or fees if you fail to notify AnixHost in writing or meet the deadline set out above. If AnixHost finds that your claim is valid, AnixHost agrees to credit your account on your next billing date. Third party fees are not subject to this dispute provision and are final.
  17. CHARGEBACKS, REVERSALS, AND RETRIEVALS
    1. If AnixHost receives a chargeback or payment dispute from a credit card company, bank, or Paypal, your Services may be suspended without notice. A $50 chargeback fee (issued to recoup mandatory fees passed on to AnixHost by the credit card company), plus any outstanding balances accrued as a result of the chargeback(s), must be paid in full before service is restored. Instead of issuing a chargeback, please contact AnixHost’s billing team to address any billing issues.
    2. If AnixHost appeals a chargeback or other payment dispute and wins the dispute or appeal, the funds will likely be returned to AnixHost by the credit card company or bank. Any double payment resulting from this process will be applied to Customer’s account in the form of a service credit.
  18. CANCELLATION OF SERVICES
    1. Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing notice to the other as provided herein.
    2. You may cancel service by completing AnixHost’s cancellation form located at Cancellation Form from Clieant Area . To reduce the likelihood of error and ensure the security of your account, AnixHost does not accept cancellations via any other method or location, including, but not limited to, telephone, email, or live chat. Cancellations are not final until confirmed by a representative of AnixHost in writing by email.
    3. Cancellations must be requested via the form indicated prior to 7 days of the Service’s renewal date. If a cancellation notice is not received within the required time frame, you will be billed for the next Billing Term and are responsible for payment as set forth above.
    4. If you pay AnixHost via PayPal, it is your responsibility to cancel any subscription for recurring PayPal payments. AnixHost (which has no control over PayPal subscription payments) is not responsible for payments made from your PayPal account after cancellation and is under no obligation to refund such payments made after cancellation.
    5. AnixHost may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing notice to Customers via email. Should AnixHost terminate this Agreement for any reason other than a material breach, or violation of AnixHost’s Acceptable Use Policy, any prepaid fees shall be refunded.
    6. One party may also terminate this Agreement upon the occurrence of a material breach which has not been cured by the other party within ten (10) days of their receipt of written notice of the breach. For the purposes of defining a material breach, materiality shall be determined from the perspective of a reasonable business person with significant experience in conducting business on the Internet. Notices of material breach must contain sufficient detail for the party against whom the assertion of material breach is directed to identify the breach and attempt to take corrective action.
    7. AnixHost may terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, without notice in the event that: (i) you fail to pay any fees due; (ii) you violate this Agreement; (iii) your conduct may harm AnixHost or others or cause AnixHost or others to incur liability, as determined by AnixHost in our sole discretion; or (iv) as otherwise specified in this Agreement. In such event, AnixHost shall 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. Additionally, AnixHost may charge you for all fees due for the Services for the remaining portion of the then current term. UPON TERMINATION OF THE SERVICES FOR ANY REASON, USER CONTENT, USER WEBSITES, AND OTHER DATA WILL BE DELETED.
  19. REFUSAL OF SERVICE
    1. AnixHost reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at any time. Any material that, in AnixHost’s judgment, is obscene, threatening, illegal, or violates AnixHost’s terms of service in any manner may be removed from AnixHost’s servers (or otherwise disabled), with or without notice.
    2. Similarly, AnixHost reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or otherwise restrict access to the Service(s) it provides at any time, for any or no reason, and with or without notice. AnixHost is not responsible for any damages or loss of data resulting from such suspension or termination.
    3. If any manner of communication with AnixHost’s staff could be construed as belligerent, vulgar (curse words), attacking, highly rude, threatening, or abusive, you will be issued one warning. If the communication continues, your account may be suspended or terminated without refund. This includes, but is not limited to, threats to sue, slander, libel, publicly post, or initiate a chargeback.
    4. AnixHost happily accepts orders from outside the United States, but may limit accounts from certain countries with a high fraud rate. To help protect AnixHost and its customers from fraud, AnixHost may ask you to provide a copy of a government issued identification and/or 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 denied.
    5. Due to United States law, AnixHost cannot accept any orders originating from countries that the United States has established an embargo on or otherwise prohibited trade with. By becoming a customer, you represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  20. RESOURCE USAGE
  21. All use of hosting space provided by AnixHost is subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Acceptable Use Policy.
    1. Each customer is required to utilize as little server resources as possible, so as to allow for reasonable performance by all AnixHost customers. Because server CPU and memory are shared resources, excessive consumption of these resources can interfere with or completely prevent normal service performance for other users. AnixHost reserves the right to suspend or terminate Services on any account that, at its sole discretion, is abusing server resources. Such suspension or termination can occur at any time without prior warning, and for any or no reason. See Disk Space, Bandwidth, and Email Usage Definitions.
    2. Shared hosting space may only be used for web files, active email and content of User Websites. Shared hosting space may not be used for storage (whether of media, emails, or other data), including, as offsite storage of electronic files, email or FTP hosts. AnixHost expressly reserves the right to review every shared account for excessive usage of CPU, disk space and other resources that may be caused by a violation of this Agreement or the Acceptable Use Policy. AnixHost may, in our sole discretion, terminate access to the Services, apply additional fees, or remove or delete User Content for those accounts that are found to be in violation of AnixHost’s terms and conditions.
    3. Dedicated and VPS usage is limited by the resources allocated to the specific plan that you have purchased.
    4. Please Check Acceptable Use Policy page for more information about Resources Usage policies and limitations if any.
