XstreamHost Terms and Conditions ::

XstreamHost reserves the right to change this Policy any time, so please, check this page at least once a month or when in doubt. XstreamHost strives to provide the best possible service to all our customers, but we will not tolerate any unlawful activity or abuse on our servers. We respect freedom of speech and expression unless it is harmful to others. These brief guidelines are imposed to protect you, other XstreamHost customers and us against such harm.

1. Payment Policies, Fees, Refunds and Terms of Agreement

Full payment is required before any hosting service is rendered, which includes renewals. Prepayment is due each anniversary (one month, one year) following the date the account was established. Billing will continue until you cancel your hosting account. You may cancel at anytime. As a policy, we do not offer credits or refunds for hosting time already expended, unless it's within the 30 day money back guarantee.

We do give refunds for full months unused, should you want to cancel prepaid service. If you decide to cancel after prepayment, you will not receive a refund for the current month in use (We do not give partial months refunds).

This only applies to cancellation by the client. If cancellation is done by XstreamHost due to restrictions violation, there will be no refund. XstreamHost will only allow for the discount if cancellation is not the fault of the client, as determined by XstreamHost. All monetary transactions are in $US dollars. Additional features can be added at any time. Monthly feature prices are not prorated. XstreamHost reserves the right to change prices at any time.

2. Account Cancellation

You may cancel at anytime. To cancel your account, please contact Customer Service at support@xstreamhost.com. Notification of cancellation must be received at least five business days prior to your cycle date, with the cycle date being the day of the month you sign up, in order to avoid charges in full for the next cycle. It is the Client's Responsibility to secure email confirmation from XstreamHost that the account has been cancelled. If the client has not yet received email confirmation of account cancellation, then the account remains active, and you will continue to be charged.

If Client has a balance due at the time of cancellation, this balance must be paid in full. Cancellation does not absolve Client of any outstanding financial obligations.

Sending unsolicited commercial email (a.k.a. "spam"), cross-posting messages to a large number of Usenet groups, posting obscene or threatening messages while using or referring to an XstreamHost email address or web site URL is prohibited. The use of XstreamHost servers as a mail drop for responses to activities described above is also prohibited.

Also prohibited are sites that promote any illegal activity or present content that may be damaging to XstreamHost servers or any other server on the internet. Links to such materials are also prohibited.

Any sites that contains illegal content in them, and are not caught by XstreamHost will take full responsabilities for their sites contents.

Any illegal activity, including adult content, links to adult content web sites, spamming or hacking will result in your site being shut down and all your files deleted without warning.

6. Email Policy

XstreamHost may not be the source, intermediary, or destination address involved in the transmission of any unsolicited email, email bombs, hate email, or any mass email. Your email account may not be referenced as originator, intermediary, or reply-to address of such email. We consider mass email any email message sent to more than 25 email addresses or more than 10 news groups.

7. CGI Scripts Policy

Each account comes with its own cgi-bin. You are free to use any CGI scripts you wish, [as long as they are not on our banned script's list] however we reserve the right to disable any CGI script that effects normal server operation or service to other XstreamHost customers. You will be notified in 24 hours about offending cgi script. No chat room or similar scripts allowed.

XstreamHost is not responsible for scripts that you use in your hosting. It is not our responsibility to ensure your scripts function. Please don't expect our support techs to troubleshoot aspects of your scripts or third party scripts that you use on your sites hosted on our servers.

8. Traffic Policy

XstreamHost allows for very generous traffic, and most sites never exceed 500MB per month, unless they offer shareware, sound, video, image and multimedia archives, are mirror sites or any site whose primary purpose is file distribution. XstreamHost customers are discouraged from storing any files that cause excessive traffic on XstreamHost servers. Please contact XstreamHost Technical Support team for more information. Again, 99% of the sites do not fall into this category and never reach our traffic limits.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason not prohibited by law. Also we reserve the right to terminate service to any customer for any reason not prohibited by law.

Any deliberate attempt to cause damage to XstreamHost or any other Internet servers will result in immediate account deactivation without prior notice. No refund is given in this case.

All account plans come with a predetermined amount of traffic allowance. We monitor all accounts and bill $3.00 for each gig of traffic exceeded. You will NOT be charged for transfer that you use beyond our generous data transfer limits without prior notification. You can monitor your transfer at anytime in your Control Panel.

9. Backups

The "Backup Manager" is included in each hosting plan and client can use this tool to back up their files. We do not back up client accounts, so in the event of loss of data you should have your own backups.

10. Support Policy

It is the client's responsibility to have a good working knowledge of aspects of their site's operation. Please do not expect the XstreamHost support staff to teach you how to use aspects of the tools at your disposal. You can post questions like this into the General Discussion area of the forum and interact with other XstreamHost members for help etc.

XstreamHost reserves the right to amend our Terms and Conditions at any time and without notice.
