PAYMENT POLICY

All pricing is guaranteed for the term of payment received. Hostings House reserves the right to change prices at any time. Existing customers, however, will be grandfathered into their current pricing in the event prices change in the future. Payment is due on the first day of the anniversary month or period following the date the account was established. Any account past due more than 10 days is subject to suspension. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time that the customer notifies Hostings House in writing for a request for termination of services. Checks returned unpaid (NSF) will be assessed a $10 or Rs.500 charge. All payments are in U.S. or Pakistani currency.

CREDIT CARD ORDERS

Accounts will be automatically billed, on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis, to the card number on file unless otherwise notified. All credit card payments will be billed during the first week of the month the account is due.

In the event the credit card is declined by their bank, the customer will be notified by email or phone to the email/phone number on file. Past due accounts that are not brought current by the 10th day of the current billing month are subject to suspension and possible account termination. In addition, the customer is solely responsible for keeping their contact information current with our company such as email address, telephone number, etc.

There will be a 15% re-activation fee on any accounts suspended and then later re-activated. The company listed on the credit card statement will be Hostings House.

Due to security concerns, all account cancellations must be done in writing via Potal mail or Fax. The letter should include, a valid signature of the primary contact of the account. In addition, the following items are also required: domain name, reason for cancellation, user name, and original account password.

Within the first 15 days, customers can cancel service any time and will be refunded any amount exceeding the pre-payment of the current term. After 15 days, we will honor all cancellations but no pro-rated refunds will be issued.

Customers who sign up on an annual basis where the setup fee was waived, and later cancel within the first 15 days will be assessed a setup fee as if the order was placed on a monthly or quarterly payment plan where applicable. Any company refunds due, will be issued by company check or a credit posted to the credit card on file within 7 days of receipt of cancellation. The account will be cancelled and all information deleted at the end of the current billing period, unless a date of cancellation is specified. Setup Fees, Domain Name Registrations, Domain Name Renewals, Overages, FTP/File Hosting and Domain Parking fees are non-refundable.

If you are on an annual credit card payment plan and we have not been notified prior to renewal in a manner abiding by our written Terms and Conditions, your account will be renewed, your credit card charged and there will be no refunds during the subscription period. If there are extenuating circumstances leading up to the cancellation, then Hostings House may at its sole discretion refund a portion of the unused hosting fees less a $100.00 or Rs.5000 disposition fee.
