Payment

LifeCloud provides subscription-based services that renew automatically on a recurring basis to prevent any disruption of said services.

Payment for all non-hourly services is due and payable in advance of the time in which said services are provided. Payment for all hourly services is due and payable on the first (1st) of every month for the usage of the service for the previous month.

Using payment information for Credit Card, PayPal, or Alipay at the time of checkout will store that information on file for future use.

All invoices will be paid automatically using the payment information stored on file with LifeCloud, such as Credit Card, PayPal, or Alipay. This would include invoices for new orders, renewal of existing services, hourly service usage, invoices created from the Client Area, and fees of any kind.

Listed fees for LifeCloud services do not include any sales, use, revenue, excise, or other taxes imposed by any taxing authority. Any non-hourly service with an invoice that is outstanding for more than fourteen (14) days may be terminated. All services billed on an hourly rate must be paid for within one (1) days of their due date or risk suspension. Any hourly service that is unpaid beyond three (3) days will be terminated.

 

Anniversary Billing

LifeCloud uses Anniversary Billing for service renewals and new service orders. The day of the month that an account is opened, would work as the recurring due date for the services purchased on the account and would function as the first day of every new billing cycle.

New services purchased on the account would have their first billing cycle and invoice prorated to allow for their next billing cycle to begin on the Client's recurring due date. Due to the nature of how they are provided, Anniversary Billing would not apply to services like Domains, SSLs, or LifeCloud offerings purchased prior to September of 2017.

 

Zero-Tolerance SPAM Policy

LifeCloud has zero-tolerance for Clients sending unsolicited e-mail, unsolicited e-mailing, and SPAM. "Safe lists," purchased lists, and selling of lists will be treated as SPAM. Any Client who sends out SPAM will have their account terminated, and may be terminated without notice. Additionally, Clients who engage in unsolicited mailing will, at LifeCloud' own discretion, be charged a consulting fee of two hundred fifty dollars ($250) per hour for any remedial actions that LifeCloud elects to take in the event that, as a result of a Client's activities, LifeCloud servers or IP space are placed in any third-party mail filtering software or blackhole lists.

To protect the IP reputation of our network, and as a proactive measure to prevent our IP space from being used to distribute unsolicited e-mail, LifeCloud reserves the right to apply an SMTP filter as a precaution to accounts flagged by our Abuse Team.

 

Transfers

Our Support Engineers will make every effort to assist you with the move of your website or server to us. Transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and LifeCloud does not make any guarantees regarding the possibility, prospect, or time required to complete a transfer of accounts. Every hosting company is structured differently, and some hosting platforms retain data in an inconsistent or proprietary configuration, which may result in migration attempts being immensely difficult and possibly impossible to migrate partial or all account data. In certain situations, we may not be able to provide you the assistance in the transferring of data from a previous hosting provider. In no event shall LifeCloud be held liable for any lost or missing data or files resulting from a transfer to or from LifeCloud. You are solely responsible for backing up your data in all circumstances. You are also solely responsible for ensuring the integrity of the data once our engineer provide notice that to the best of their knowledge the migration is complete.

 

Backups and Data Loss

Your use of LifeCloud Services is at your sole risk. LifeCloud servers are setup with RAID to constantly mirror all data to a second disk. LifeCloud is not responsible for files and/or data stored on LifeCloud servers. You agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backups of files and data stored on LifeCloud servers. LifeCloud does not take backups of any kind of customer data, customer's are responsible for managing and backing up their own data.

 

LifeCloud Backup Service

Your use of LifeCloud' Backup Service includes the fee associated with LifeCloud setting up your initial backup service, as well as all support requests you may put in related to your backups service. It is your responsibility to ensure the integrity of your backups. LifeCloud assumes no liability related to the validity, and or integrity of the data contained within your backups. You are responsible for notifying LifeCloud, should you believe there is a problem with your backups. You are also responsible for monitoring and ensuring your backups continue to function after LifeCloud completes the initial setup of the backups service.

 

Refunds

Payments made for eligible services provided by LifeCloud, may be eligible for a prorated refund. In order to be eligible for a refund a service must be cancelled within our client portal. Once the service is cancelled a refund may be requested. The refund request must be made within seventy-two (72) hours of the payment transaction time. The transaction time means the time that the payment transaction or charge occurred. Generally speaking this is the date of original purchase or renewal for the service in question. LifeCloud will not grant refunds in advance. Refunds requested prior to cancellation or outside of the seventy-two (72) hour time window from the payment transaction time, are considered invalid and not eligible for a refund.

The following products and services are not eligible for refunds.

  • Software Licenses

  • Domains

  • SSL Certificates

  • IP Addresses

  • Products or Services that are billed on an Hourly basis

  • Products or Services that are terminated for violations of our Terms of Service

  • Products or Services that are purchased using cryptocurrencies, tokens or digital assets

 

Unlimited Hosting Policy

LifeCloud will allocate an unlimited amount of disk space and bandwidth for our Shared, Business, Reseller, and White Label Reseller services. That unlimited disk space and bandwidth may only be used to store and transfer files relevant to the website(s) being hosted on those services. If a Client causes continuous server or service interruptions under their current plan, they will be asked to upgrade to a more powerful plan.

In the event that such interruptions are being caused, we would notify the Client, informing them they need to upgrade. In extreme cases, the service would be suspended to prevent further server or service interruptions. The service would also be suspended if the Client does not contact us after warning emails regarding the need to upgrade have been sent.

 

Bandwidth Overage Fees

The Cloud and Dedicated servers that LifeCloud provides come with a set amount of monthly Bandwidth based on the offered service's tier or resources. The amount of bandwidth each server has resets monthly on the services recurring billing day (day of month service invoices on). It is the Client's sole responsibility to monitor the resource usage of their server(s). Client's can track and monitor bandwidth usage at anytime within the cloud portal.

In the event that a Client should exceed the amount of bandwidth provided with their service. The client will be notified regarding the overage inside the Cloud Portal. The client will be billed a fee incrementally for bandwidth overages. This would be done at a rate of zero point zero one dollars ($0.01) per Gigabit (Gb) of additional bandwidth used during a given month. During the time the server is exceeding it's bandwidth limit a rate-limit of three Mbps (3 Megabits per second) will be applied to the client's server. The client can upgrade their server to a tier with a greater bandwidth allocation in order to have this limit removed, and avoid the bandwidth overage fees.

 

Abuse Towards LifeCloud

At LifeCloud, Clients are treated with respect. In return, LifeCloud expects an equal level of respect from their Clients. If LifeCloud feels that a Client is being disrespectful or demeaning towards any staff member, the Client may be asked to move to a new hosting provider. That Client will then be given seven (7) days to move to a new host. After this time period, LifeCloud reserves the right to completely remove/terminate the Client's account. The Client will not be entitled to any refunds. However, refunds may be issued for advanced payments if LifeCloud chooses to do so.

 

Server Abuse/Customer Abuse

Any attempted attack against any LifeCloud server and/or Client being hosted by LifeCloud will result in automatic termination of the offending account with no refund including, but not limited to, no refunds for advanced payments, and a permanent banning of the offending Client.

 

Price/Plan Changes

LifeCloud reserves the right to change prices at any time. We will provide you with at least thirty (30) days prior to you being billed at the updated price. It is your sole responsibility to periodically review billing information provided by LifeCloud through the customer portal.

 

Changes to the Agreement or the Services

LifeCloud may modify, add, or delete portions of this Agreement at any time. LifeCloud will post a notice on the LifeCloud website for a period of thirty (30) days before the effective date of any such change. Thereafter, your use any of the Services shall constitute agreement to such change.

LifeCloud may modify, change, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time.

 

Cancellations

With the exception of Domain name registrations, and items stored in Cloud Storage, it is required to request cancellation of a service through the Client Area on the service's management page. Attempting to cancel through any other form of contact, method, or actions taken with third parties would not be considered a valid cancellation request.

All valid cancellation requests are handled with immediate effect, resulting in the termination of the service and the deletion of any content that may have been stored on the service at the time of cancellation. It is the responsibility of the account owner to ensure they have taken any needed backups prior to requesting cancellation.

To prevent a service renewal, it is required to complete the cancellation process, as detailed above, prior to beginning of the service's next billing cycle. Failure to do this will result in the service automatically renewing as per details found in the "Payment" section of this agreement. Payments for such renewals would be subject to our refund policy as detailed in the "Refunds" section of this agreement.

Domain name registrations, and items stored in Cloud Storage are services that cannot be canceled as they do not work on a standard subscription basis.

Domain name registration will stop renewing once auto renewal of a given domain name is disabled on the domain's management page as found in the Client Area.

Items held in Cloud Storage need to be deleted by the account owner from within the Cloud Portal. The time such items are stored leading up to that deletion would be billed per the details of the "Payment" section in this agreement.

LifeCloud does not charge late fees, however, if a service is paid for late, the next due date for the service will not be adjusted.

 

Termination

LifeCloud may terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, including deletion or confiscation of all files, content, and/or domain name registrations, without notice in the event that: (i) you fail to pay any fees due; (ii) you violate the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (iii) your conduct may harm LifeCloud or others, cause LifeCloud or others to incur liability, or disrupt LifeCloud's business operations (as determined by LifeCloud in its sole discretion); (iv) you are abusive toward LifeCloud's staff in any manner; or (v) for any other lawful reason, including to comply with applicable law, or as otherwise specified in this Agreement. In such event, LifeCloud will 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.

Upon termination of the services for any reason, user content, user websites, and other data will be deleted.

 

Account Credit

All account credits are tied to the account on which they were originally added. Account credits will not be refunded back to the Client.

 

Chargebacks and Disputes

In the event that we are notified that a chargeback or other payment dispute is filed, your account will automatically be placed on hold. Resulting in suspension for all active services on your account, and the risk of termination should the dispute not be immediately resolved. Resolving a chargeback would include providing proof of ownership for the payment method used, repaying any disputed transaction(s), and paying a two hundred fifty dollar ($250) penalty fee per transaction that has been disputed.

Failure to do this will result in the termination of the service(s) on the account as well as the account remaining on hold, preventing any new orders or purchases from being completed.
