Unlimited Features

What do you mean by "unlimited disk space and bandwidth/data transfer"?

We do not set limits on the disk space and bandwidth (data transfer) that we provide in plans that are marked "Unlimited". We want you to have the resources available to you to build a great online presence.

Even though we want you to succeed, we need to ensure that we're providing all of our customers with optimum service. As such we do require all of our customers to be fully compliant with our Excessive Resource User Policy/Terms of Service and utilize disk space and bandwidth related to normal operation of a personal or small business website.

If a customer's hosting account is found to have violated the client content, excessive resource user policy and/or is storing files for archiving purposes, the contents will be removed and while we make best effort to contact customers beforehand, can occur without notice.

Excessive Resource User Policy

Resources are defined as disk space, bandwidth, and/or computing resources (cpu, memory, disk i/o, # of files/inodes) utilization. GreenGeeks offers a shared hosting service in which environment customers may share resources with other customers, therefore it is imperative that GreenGeeks control any excessive usage by customers so that they do not disrupt the service quality of other customers using the same resources. A hosting account is considered using "Excessive amounts of resources" when it consumes 100% of the allocated resources on the subscribed hosting plan and/or subscribed scalable resource add-on(s) known as "Computing Resources", and/or "Resources", and/or "Resource Usage". There are numerous issues that could cause such problems, including but not limited to: cgi scripts, FTP, HTTP, etc. To prevent service disruption for other customers, a hosting account which exceeds the included computing resources will be slowed down automatically for as long as the resources are being overused. GreenGeeks will make every reasonable effort to notify customer prior to suspension, however, GreenGeeks may suspend any offending hosting account prior to notifying the customer of the account in the event that service disruption to other customers was/is caused. The customer whom is using "excessive resources" may be asked to upgrade his/her package to a more suitable hosting package, such as but not limited to a premium account, virtual private server or dedicated server. GreenGeeks will be the sole and final arbitrator as to what constitutes as a violation of this policy. Customers have access to their Resource Usage within their control panel.

No "Spam"

UCE/UBE or "Spam" originating from a server located on our network or associated with a GreenGeeks server is not tolerated. This includes any e-mail that promotes websites hosted on a server located on the GreenGeeks network but is sent from an e-mail address not associated with that GreenGeeks account. Client shall not use their GreenGeeks services for chain letters, junk mail, bulk-email, or any use of distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process. GreenGeeks reserves the right to deactivate or terminate any account(s) upon any indication of such activity without notice.

The GreenGeeks Migration department will make a good-faith effort to help you move your website to us. All websites migrated by GreenGeeks are provided as a courtesy service. We do not make any guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete a migration. As each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, this 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, and there may be cases where websites cannot be transferred from another host without additional configuration outside of what GreenGeeks can provide. GreenGeeks makes no guarantee of any successful migration due to such factors and reserves the right to refuse or cancel any migration request at any time at its sole discretion, including the denial of migrations of any content that may potentially violate our policies. All website migration requests must be submitted from within your GreenGeeks Account using our Site Migration Request. Additional information about migration limitations can be found in our Migration Policy.

GreenGeeks cannot under any circumstances make any changes at your previous provider, including DNS / nameserver changes. Customers needing assistance updating their DNS are encouraged to contact their current domain registrar, or to utilize our domain transfer service to manage their domain(s) along with their hosting services. You can request a domain transfer to GreenGeeks from within your GreenGeeks Account.

The free transfer service is available for thirty (30) days from your initial sign-up date. Website migrations outside of the thirty (30) day period will incur a charge based on our rates as outlined in our Migration Policy. To receive a price quote for any migration, please open a new Migration Request within your GreenGeeks Account. GreenGeeks also reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to assess any applicable migration or administrative fees prior to performing any migration.

Payment Obligations

Full payment is required in advance before hosting service is established. GreenGeeks sends out invoices that are due every pay period. You are given fifteen (15) days to fully pay the invoice.

You warrant and represent that the information you supply in the Order Form (or other information that GreenGeeks may require) is accurate and truthful. All payment-due notices will be sent by e-mail. No bills or invoices will be sent by postal mail or fax. If payment was not received by the due-date, your account will be suspended. It is the client's responsibility to ensure that payment is made to GreenGeeks prior to the renewal date and although GreenGeeks sends renewal notices to our customers prior to their renewal date, because of the ability for a customer to change their contact email addresses without notifying GreenGeeks, the customer is ultimately responsible for remembering their renewal date and to make sure payment is made upon the renewal. Failure to keep an account in good standing and/or service renewals paid for will result in service deactivation until the account and or service renewal is paid for in full.

GreenGeeks may change its prices from time to time. GreenGeeks may increase fees for its services on its website or in a promotional offer and at any time on or after the expiration of the initial term by providing written notice to you. Written notice may be in the form of notices and updates provided through the account's billing tool, notices and updates provided through the services and/or pricing notifications for renewal terms sent via email. It is your sole responsibility to periodically review all billing-related information by GreenGeeks through your account or other methods of communication and notices sent or posted by GreenGeeks.

Renewals

It is the obligation of the GreenGeeks' customers to know when their account comes up for renewal and, if their intention is to non-renew their account, they must fill out the GreenGeeks cancellation form 5 business days prior to their account's renewal date to ensure that the billing department can stop any renewal charges. GreenGeeks' clients receive email notifications between 15 and 30 days prior to the renewal date of their account depending on the service subscribed to, informing them that their renewal date is approaching. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that GreenGeeks has a valid email address for which notices can be sent to GreenGeeks' clients. If GreenGeeks does not receive a cancellation request prior to the customer's renewal, GreenGeeks will renew the clients' account 24 hours prior to the renewal date, and will apply charges as appropriate. Services will be automatically renewed on the renewal date and be billed at the then current renewal fee(s) for the plan that the customer is currently subscribed to. In the case of insufficient funds to charge such amount, you agree to allow GreenGeeks to place your account on a recurring payment plan, wherein we will collect a partial term quantity to avoid an interruption in service and to protect against accidental loss of intellectual property such as, but not limited to, website data, domain registration, etc. The 30-day money back guarantee applies only to the start date of the clients' service with GreenGeeks, and does not apply to renewals of service.

Late Fees

Clients have the option to pay an invoice at any time by logging into their GreenGeeks account and submitting a payment. An invoice that is not paid by the due date is automatically marked overdue in the system. If an invoice is overdue by more than four days (the grace period), the account is automatically suspended and a $15.00 late fee is added to the account. To reactivate an account that is suspended for failure to submit a payment within the grace period, a payment for the original invoiced amount plus $15.00 must be submitted to GreenGeeks.

Prepayment

It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment information is up to date, and that all invoices are paid on time. You agree to pay for the Services in advance of the time period during which such Services are provided.

Autorenewal

Unless otherwise provided, you agree that until and unless you notify GreenGeeks 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.

Taxes

Listed fees for the Services do not include any applicable sales, use, revenue, excise or other taxes imposed by any taxing authority. Any applicable taxes will be added to GreenGeeks' invoice as a separate charge to be paid by you. All fees are non-refundable when paid unless otherwise stated.

Late Payment

All invoices must be paid within ten (10) days of the invoice due date. Any invoice that is outstanding for more than ten (10) days may result in the suspension or termination of Services. Access to the account will not be restored until payment has been received. If you fail to pay the fees as specified herein, GreenGeeks may suspend or terminate your account and pursue the collection costs incurred by GreenGeeks, including without limitation, any arbitration and legal fees, and reasonable attorneys' fees. GreenGeeks will not activate new orders or activate new packages for customers who have an outstanding balance on their account.

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 GreenGeeks directly after you make a late payment to reactivate the dedicated server.

Domain Payments

Domain renewal notices are provided as a courtesy reminder and GreenGeeks is not responsible for a failure to renew a domain or a failure to notify a customer about a domain's renewal. Domain renewals receive thirty (30) day notification before the renew date, and are automatically renewed one (1) day before the renew date.

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.

By accepting these terms, you agree to hold GreenGeeks harmless against any chargeback claims. Should a chargeback be filed against any invoice generated by GreenGeeks, we reserve the right to suspend and/or terminate the services, and apply a re-activation fee before reactivation, at our sole discretion.

Payment Card Industry Security Standard Disclaimer

GreenGeeks 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.

All prices listed are in US Dollars ($), for all services & server locations unless otherwise specified.

Coupon Use

Coupons are offered to customers from time to time. Use of 3rd party coupon applications which manipulate our pricing structure will not be accepted.

Cancellation & Refunds

Should you become dissatisfied with our services within the first 30 days of your account activation, GreenGeeks will refund your hosting fee subject to the money back guarantee terms listed in this agreement. Refunds are not available for customers after the 30 days of account activation. You may however cancel your account at any time in order to make sure that your account is not renewed.

Accounts which have negative balances will be sent to collections and all services will be terminated, including domain registrations. Refunds are never available for domain registrations. Domain Names transferred to our service incur an additional year of registration and therefore are considered a domain registration. Domain registration fees are as detailed on our Domain Registration Pricing Sheet. Domain names of customers which leave our hosting service will be refunded the package price total less the domain registration fee if the customer leaves GreenGeeks hosting service within the 30-day money back guarantee.

In addition refunds are not available for additional services such as, but not limited to domain names, dedicated IP's, SSL certificates, CDN, professional services, etc. Add-on services that are activated and are included in the hosting package will not be refundable if cancelled within 30-days.

Website files are the responsibility of the GreenGeeks customer and should a GreenGeeks customer decide to cancel their service it is the customer's responsibility to make sure that they have backed up & downloaded the website files and any emails from the GreenGeeks server prior to requesting that GreenGeeks cancels their account. Once the cancellation request has been submitted to GreenGeeks a cancellation of the website hosting service may occur any time after the request is received by GreenGeeks and when a cancellation request is completed the client's hosting account with GreenGeeks and their website files are permanantly removed from the GreenGeeks servers. Therefore again it is the client's obligation to ensure that they have downloaded their website files and any emails from the server prior to their cancellation request.
