Dedicated Servers Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the 'Agreement') are an agreement between you - the user of our hosting and related services (collectively, the 'Services'), and VeloServers, in association with LiquidNet US LLC, a US company headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and LiquidNet Ltd., a UK company headquartered in London, UK. All billing and hosting services are rendered by LiquidNet US LLC and LiquidNet Ltd. (billing operations will be handled here). Legal details about the two companies can be found in the 'Customer Service Contact Details' section of this document.

For the sake of brevity, VeloServers, LiquidNet US LLC and LiquidNet Ltd. will be referred to as 'We', 'Us', 'Our' and 'Service Provider' in this document.

When signing up for a Dedicated server hosting account with the Service Provider, the Customer agrees to abide by the rules and provisions explicated in these Dedicated Terms of Service, as well as all their coherent policies (Order Verification Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, etc.) mentioned herein.

The Customer of our Services should also be aware that when signing up for a Dedicated server hosting account with the Service Provider, he/or she agrees to position data on our servers and make it accessible to the wide internet public. In this respect, the Customer understands and agrees that it is beyond the power of the Service Provider to restrict any public access to this data and guarantee the security of the Customer's files. The Customer, therefore, is completely in charge of protecting his/her web content on our Dedicated servers and should consider carefully each piece of information before uploading it to his/her newly allocated Dedicated server space. We highly recommend that Customers avoid publishing online personal data that could be abused.

1. SERVICE AGREEMENT; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

   The Service Provider shall provide its Services to You - the Customer - under the Terms and Conditions explicated in this Service Agreement. The Agreement is intended to keep the integrity of both the Service Provider and the Customer and to protect both parties from liability. This Service Agreement will be enforced to ensure the speed, power, performance, and reliability of our Services.

   The Service Agreement, together with the Order Form, the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), and any other policies or agreements mentioned in this document, constitute the whole act of convention between the Service Provider and the Customer.

2. RULES FOR ACTIVATION AND MONTHLY PAYMENT BASIS OF THE DEDICATED SERVER HOSTING SERVICE

   Each customer of the Service Provider will be able to take advantage of the package he/she has purchased at the introductory price levels and with one and the same set of features in the course of the whole contract period. The Service Provider reserves the right to introduce certain changes to the packages (in the form of complementary services) to the benefit of the customers.
   
   The Service Provider will charge customers fees based on the fee structure of the web hosting system at the time of the sign-up process. The Service Provider reserves the right to introduce price changes to the servers when needed. This means that the current price list at the Service Provider's web store may differ from the pricing of the Customer's server.
   
   When signing up for an account with the Service Provider, the Customer agrees to pay for the selected period (one month / three months / six months) and abide by the Order Verification Policy. The Sales Department will strictly scrutinize each account order and carefully process each payment in order to ensure that no fraudulent user can take advantage of the web hosting system.
   
   When a Customer pays for a server via credit card or PayPal, a recurring billing subscription will be created automatically for the selected billing period for his/her convenience, for which He will get a notification from the payment processor. All automatic payments go through exactly 7 days before the due date so as to avoid any downtime to the hosting service if there is a problem with the credit card/PayPal account.
   
   The Service Provider will send a reminder of the due payment at least 24 hours before the automatic charge takes place.
   
   The Customer can cancel the subscription at any time from the Control Panel -> My Account -> Recurring, or directly through PayPal - if it's a PayPal account subscription.
   
   If the standard payment methods are not suitable for the Customer's needs, alternative options such as Revolut or cryptocurrency payments may be provided. Please reach out to the Sales team for further assistance in this regard.
   
   Non-Payment of the service shall result in a immediate service disconnection. Customers failing to secure payment by the time of the due date will incur service interruption. The data hosted on the Dedicated server will be kept for one month, after that it will be permanently deleted.
   
   Setup fees and monthly service fees, as well as any recurring payments, or payments made through wire transfer, Revolut, cryptocurrency, or any other on-demand payment method, are not eligible for refund. The Customer acknowledges and agrees to a no-refund policy in advance.

3. SERVICE GUARANTEES; DATA BACKUP

   1. SERVICE GUARANTEES

      The Service Provider guarantees 99.9% network uptime and server stability. This, however, does not refer to problems stemming from:

      1. Server Hardware Breakdown;
      2. User error(s) or purposeful interruption(s) of the user service (e.g. if the client shuts his/her own server down, the Service Provider is not responsible for the downtime);
      3. Failure due to software that is not explicitly supported by the Service Provider. If a hardware crash provoked by the Customer consequently happens, the Service Provider is beyond the control and responsibility for the resulting downtime.

      For more information, please refer to our Service Level Guarantees.

   2. DATA BACKUP

      Due to the specificity of the Dedicated server hosting service, which provides Customers with fully independent and self-managed hosting environment, the DATA BACKUP of all Customer's website contents and databases is solely Customer's responsibility.

      A 50 GB FTP backup storage is available as a part of our Managed Services Package. It is also available as a separate upgrade option.

      Full server backups are available ONLY for dedicated servers using the Hepsia Control Panel. Backups are created automatically each day and retained for 5 days, after which the oldest backup is overwritten.

4. SERVICE ACTIVATION AND CONTINUANCE TIMESCALES

   1. SERVICE ACTIVATION

      For newly signed up clients - the Services are activated only after our Sales Department gets in touch with the Customer over the phone to verify the payment details (this is required due to the high fraud activity spreading online, and in order to prevent fraudulent account usage). The payment verification procedure is obligatory and if we fail to approve a transaction within 48 hours of the payment submission, the funds will be credited back to the payer and the order will be canceled.

      For existing customers - the services for existing Customers, including upgrade services and renewals, are activated immediately after our Sales Department receives the according service payment.

   2. CONTINUANCE TIMESCALES

      Dedicated Server Accounts - The newly-created Dedicated server hosting accounts with the Service Provider are valid for 1 month. They can be renewed on a monthly basis, i.e. for another month that will be added to the official expiration date of the Dedicated server account.

      Domain Name Registrations/Transfers - the Service Provider offers for registration/transfer all TLDs (Top-Level Domains) displayed in the table below. A domain name can be purchased either at sign up together with the Dedicated server hosting account (at a regular or PROMOTIONAL price) or separately (later on) as an upgrade from the Customer's Dedicated management account. The Customer agrees to abide by the Service Provider's Domain Name Registration Agreement and Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. The table below displays the minimum and maximum registration periods, as well as the annual NON-PROMOTIONAL prices of all TLDs:

      Domain Renewals - Even though the Service Provider will provide regular reminders about the expiration of the domain name(s) registered through the company, it is your obligation to keep track of when the registration service(s) will expire. Should you fail to renew a domain name before its expiration date, the domain name will be suspended or canceled.

      1. After a domain name’s expiration date, there is a period of 30 days, in which the domain name can be renewed. Certain domain name extensions do not have such a period, so leaving a domain name to expire before attempting a renewal is at your own discretion.
      2. After the 30-day renewal period has passed, some domain names (as per TLD Registry Policies) enter a so-called Redemption Grace Period. A domain name which has entered a Redemption Grace Period can still be renewed. However, additional fees will be added to the domain's renewal price. You can find the official information regarding the Redemption Grace Period on ICANN’s page: http://www.icann.org/registrars/redemption-proposal-14feb02.htm.
         If a Redemption Grace Period is applicable for a specific domain name, it will last between 30 and 42 days.
      3. After the Redemption Grace Period (or the renewal period – if RGP is not applicable) has passed, domain name(s) can be: provided to third parties; the Service Provider may choose to auction the domain name(s); the Service Provider may return them in the public registration pool. All of these actions can be carried out at any time and without your consent.

      We strongly recommend that Customers renew their domain registrations before their domain names are placed into redemption period. After a domain name transits in redemption period, we are not able to prevent its zone files from being removed from the DNS system, and any web site and associated services will cease working.

      We can assist Customers in retrieving their domain names only if the domain names were registered with us. Customers will be charged a REDEMPTION FEE of $270.00 USD for each domain registration renewal. If the domain name was registered with another registrar, the Customer needs to contact that registrar for more information regarding its retrieving.

5. CANCELLATION, REFUND & MONEY-BACK; CHARGEBACKS

   1. CANCELLATIONS

      In order to cancel a Dedicated server account, the Customer must send a support ticket to the Service Provider's Sales Department via his/her Dedicated management account and provide any authentication credentials requested by the Service Provider. Any other form of cancellation request will not be accepted.

   2. REFUNDS

      Dedicated server hosting accounts - The Dedicated server accounts are set up on a monthly prepay basis. Customers may cancel their accounts at any time, however they will not be entitled to a refund for the unused period of the prepaid month, since these services do NOT include Money Back Guarantee. Any incentives offered to the Customers upon sign-up will be also canceled.

      SSL Certificates are a third-party service and as such, not part of any Money Back Guarantee offered by VeloServers. An SSL certificate buyer is eligible for a refund within 7 days of purchase.

      Domain Name Registrations/Transfers - Domain name registrations/transfers are also treated as non-refundable services and cannot be canceled or refunded after activated upon Customer request. The domain name owner will have access to a domain management account, and will be able to transfer the domain name to another registrar.

   3. CHARGEBACKS

      Chargebacks are not considered as a way of refunding. Any Customer who initiates a credit card chargeback in response to a bill or order placed with the Service Provider will be subject to full investigation.

      When signing up for a Dedicated server hosting account with the Service Provider, the Customer agrees to the terms and conditions explicated in this document (and its coherent policies). Thus, the Service Provider, as well as the Service Provider's authorized retailers (PayPal, WorldPay, 2CheckOut), will resort to these documents as an evidence for the Customer's agreement, especially in the event that a Customer sends a chargeback inquiry based on points that he/or she first accepted, but is trying now to refute.

      If/When a chargeback report is received, the first step of the Service Provider's Customer Care team will be to try to contact the Customer. Meanwhile, the Customer's Dedicated server account will be suspended (in order to protect our system from fraudulent activity and misuse) and will remain suspended until the reasons for the chargeback have been clarified and decision has been taken for according action.

      If the chargeback has occurred due to some misunderstanding, a reverse payment procedure will be initiated with the authorized retailers and eventually the Dedicated server account will be re-activated.

      If the Customer has sent a chargeback request based on groundless argumentations (according to the Service Provider's own judgment and these Dedicated Terms of Service), then a dispute will be started with the authorized retailers in which the Dedicated Terms of Service and the AUP of the Service Provider will serve as evidence of the Customer's agreement. The retailers then, taking into consideration all provisions in these legal documents, will decide whether the Customer has had sufficient grounds for the chargeback or the Service Provider has the right to a reverse payment.

      In case that the chargeback originates from a fraudulent user (end-client) and no reverse payment procedure can be activated, then the respective Dedicated server account will remain suspended and a $30 USD fee will be withdrawn from the commission of the reseller (the client of our Free Reseller Hosting Program) whose client's account (the end-client) has been the reason for the chargeback (in order to be covered the fees imposed to the Service Provider from our authorized retailers for the claimed unauthorized transaction).

6. HOSTING RESELLER TOOLS

   A collection of free hosting reseller tools : a free billing software (ClientExec) and a free domain reseller account is available with each Dedicated Server hosting package. All bonuses are given per customer's request.

7. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES; ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT

   In consideration of their use of the Service, Customers agree to:

   1. Provide true, accurate, current and complete information about themselves as prompted by the registration form of the Service. Maintain and promptly update their registration data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If the Customer provides any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or the Service Provider has reasonable grounds (at its sole discretion) to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, the Service Provider has the right to suspend or terminate the Customer's account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). If untrue details are used in order to avoid VAT the customer can be held responsible by the respective national tax collecting agency.
   2. When introducing any changes to their contact details, Customers are obliged to notify the Service Provider in the course of 10 business days after the changes become valid. The introduction of changes should be done online through the customers' Dedicated Management Account, not via e-mail.
   3. Customers will receive a password and account designation upon completing of the registration process of the Service. Customers are responsible for keeping the confidentiality of their passwords and accounts, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under that password or account. Customers agree to:
      1. immediately notify the Service Provider about any unauthorized use of their password or account or any other breach of security;
      2. ensure that they safely exit (log out from) their account at the end of each session.
      the Service Provider cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage of account information arising from Customer's failure to comply with this provision.
   4. If a Dedicated server hosting account is registered with details different than those of the person who paid for the account, and in the case of any dispute, the Service Provider will take the side of the person who paid for the account and shall not provide access to any other person, since - a hosting account owner is and will be considered to be the credit card /PayPal account holder.
   5. The client is obliged not to delete the Service Provider's SSH key, which provides root access to the server. The root access will be used by the Service Provider in 2 cases only:
      1. When there is a problem with the server and, as a result, certain services do not run properly - the Service Provider may fix it as he sees fit.
      2. When there is a report from a third party concerning some sort of abuse, for example, spam, the Service Provider can identify the spammer and suspend him, of which case the client who is in charge of the server will be duly informed. The client, on the other hand, is obliged not to let problems of such kind happen again, whether or not involving that particular abuser. If there are repeated abuse reports - the Service Provider will charge the client $20 for each report, because the latter is obviously unwilling to assist in terminating the abuse actions on the given server.

   The client is also obliged not to terminate the SNMP service activated by the Service Provider to keep track of the used IPs on the server. Upon a termination of the SNMP service - the Service Provider will inform the client and the client will have to reactivate the service in 48 hours. If the client does not cooperate - the Service Provider can suspend the client's access to the server at his own discretion.

8. NO UNLAWFUL OR PROHIBITED USE

   1. SERVER USAGE

      Тhe Service Provider expressly bans the use of any Dedicated server hardware or software for trying to illegally access another hosted machine or network. Customers may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any of the Service Provider's Services, other accounts, computer systems or networks connected to any of the Service Provider's Services, through hacking, password mining or other means of close nature. Customers may not obtain or attempt to obtain any materials or information through any means not intentionally made available by the Service Provider's Services. For more detailed information regarding all prohibited uses of our server network, please closely review next chapter of these Terms and our AUP (Acceptable Use Policy).
