We've built our Terms of Service around you, the customer to ensure you don't have to spend hours trying to guess what our policies mean. Everything is written in plain English. Our policies are fair and simple. We want our customers to read our policies because they affect both your rights, and ours.
Under this agreement, you are the customer (the one buying services) and we are the provider (the one selling the services). This agreement is between these two parties.
By signing up for our services and agreeing to the terms by checking "I accept the Terms of Service" during the order process, you are forming a binding agreement between us (Old Host) and you (The Customer).
Headings and graphics contained within this agreement are for convenience only, and not part of the agreement. Headings and graphics may be used to quickly find portions of the agreement that need to be referenced.
By accepting this agreement, you agree that all headings and graphics within this agreement are invisible. You don't see them. Pretend they don't exist. Wait, what graphics?
This agreement, including documents incorporated herein by reference, supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations and agreements between you and Old Host with respect to the subject matter hereof, and this agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby.
You must be 18 years of age, provide up to date account information, and maintain on time payments for your invoices. You may not engage with illegal activity as defined under United States law. You are solely responsible for all activity in conjunction with your account and services.
If you are signing up for the services under another party's name, you agree that you have the authority to bind such party to this agreement.
You agree to pay all invoices under your account. If you don't pay your invoices, you agree that we may suspend any services billed on the invoice when the invoice due date is past the current date.
You may not pay for services with stolen money (fraudulent transactions). We will report such activity to the proper authorities. Just don't do it.
You agree to not file chargebacks. You understand that you have 180 days to dispute an invoice with us through our systems. Chargebacks will incur a $75 administrative fee (or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is the lower amount).
We reserve the right to modify prices at any time. If a price increase occurs, we will provide 30 days notice by email. You will not be billed extra if you've already paid an invoice for an existing service, but any new invoices that are created may be billed at a different rate.
Unless otherwise stated in this agreement, all Old Host content is our property or legally licensed to us, and may not be reproduced or used without our consent.
Don't steal our content. Don't copy our website. Don't use our licensed graphics. It's illegal to steal. We will pursue legal action if it's damaging to our business. Simply ask us for permission.
You are solely responsible for all content you upload to the hosting services. By uploading any content to our servers (images, video, text, and any data), you're giving us a royalty free license to serve such content to your visitors as part of your hosting services. We will not use any of your content for business purposes without your express permission.
Website transfers are provided as a courtesy service, not an obligatory provision. We will do our best to transfer your website, but you must acknowledge that no web host is the same, and your website may not work in the new environment without configuration. In such cases, you will be responsible for configuring your website to work on our servers. We do not provide development services. Our transfers are for cPanel to cPanel migrations, and non-cPanel to cPanel migrations will be assessed and quoted on an hourly basis.
We partner with third parties to improve our services. We try to limit the number of vendors we choose to keep things simple. Your acceptance of these terms is conditional to the acceptance of third party vendor terms of services. It's a lot to read, but you gotta do it. In most cases, you've likely already agreed to their terms in the past.
We do not provide warranties for third party services, and use of any third party service is to be governed by the agreements provided by such third parties.
You may not use any of our services that violate United States trade law. Exporting data to sanctioned countries could be a violation of United States trade laws. We cannot monitor all activity nor consult on United States trade laws, so please perform due diligence and research if your use of our services violates this agreement.

Usage or registering ccTLD domains (country level domain names) of countries under active sanctions must receive our express written consent before pointing to our servers and serving traffic.
You agree to use strong passwords for every login you maintain (including logins to your SwapCP account, your websites, FTP accounts, MySQL databases, and everything which is password protected).
All services are to be protected from unauthorized access. You may not share your account with other parties not authorized to act on your behalf.
We reserve the right to migrate your account(s) to different servers in order to remain compliant with datacenter policies, local and state law, and other applicable laws.
We also reserve the right to migrate your account(s) to a different server in order to maintain the integrity of our infrastructure. Your website may be utilizing too much CPU consistently, so we have to even that out by balancing the loads between servers.
It's technically impossible to abuse resources available to your account, we have restrictions in place for every type of service. If however your account manages to circumvent resource limits, we reserve the right to suspend the account.
This provision is covered in more detail in our Acceptable Use Policy.
Coupons are non-negotiable, and may not be combined with other promotions or offers.
That's our coupon policy. This clause was written by a discount attorney who just so happened to have a coupon listed on their website.
Mention this policy to our team to receive up to a $20 service credit towards any existing shared, virtual, or dedicated service renewal for a single invoice.
In no event will Old Host, its agents, employees, affiliates, partners, and directors be liable to you or any third party or person for any indirect, incidental, punitive, exemplary, special, or consequential damages including for any loss of data or profits arising from your use of the services, or any content, websites, or other materials accessed or downloaded through the services, even if Old Host is aware of such damages.
