Terms of service
Contents
Customer agrees to the following terms of service:
Term
Customer agrees to a month to month contract term for services unless otherwise agreed to in writing. The month to month contract for services is automatically renewed each month in perpetuity subject to written cancellation by the Customer.
Monthly Service Fees
Fees for service(s) ordered by the Customer shall begin on the date of the initial order and that date shall serve as the monthly anniversary date for all future billings including upgrades, additional services, cancellations and service credits. Fees are due in advance of the monthly service cycle and will be billed on the anniversary date of each month.
Upgrade Fees
Upgrades ordered on the billing anniversary date will be billed for a full month service and will continue each month on the anniversary date. Upgrades ordered after the normal anniversary billing date will be pro-rated to the next anniversary date and billed as a one time pro-rata charge. Future charges will appear as full monthly fees added to your existing anniversary billing date.
Additional Service Fees
Additional services ordered on the billing anniversary date will be billed for the full month service and will continue each month on the anniversary date. Additional services ordered after the normal anniversary billing date will be pro-rated to the next anniversary date and billed as a one time pro-rata charge. Future charges will appear as full monthly fees added to your existing anniversary billing date.
One Time Fees
One time fees, such as setup fees, administrative fees, bandwidth overages and late fees are due and payable at the time they are incurred, and agreed upon in writing or via ticket with approval.
Service Credits
Service credits will be issued to your Customer account and shall be used to offset future billable services. Service credits shall not be issued as cash back to the Customer nor are service credits transferable to other account holders.
Cancellation
EZOSHosting requires a seven (7) day cancellation notice prior to the anniversary billing date for discontinuance or downgrades of month to month services. Failure to supply the requisite seven (7) days written notice of cancellation will result in a full billable monthly cycle prior to cancellation.
Services paid through 2checkout are subject to a USD $20 late cancellation fee if not cancelled by the customer from within 2checkout’s customer areas.
Notice of written cancellation for services paid through Google checkout or Amazon FPS is preferred through the online customer portal located at https://support.ezoshosting.com.
All customer data remaining after the cancellation date will be destroyed for security and privacy reasons one week after the cancellation date.
Refunds & Disputes
All services rendered by EZOSHosting are non-refundable with the exception of a 30 day money back guarantee offered for new customers. The 30 day money back guarantee is only good if our human support services were not used. This includes, but is not limited to: setup fees, one time fees, monthly service fees, upgrade fees, additional service fees, administrative fees, and late fees. Customers seeking to resolve billing errors are instructed to open an accounting ticket inside the Customer portal located at https://support.ezoshosting.com . Customer agrees not to chargeback any credit card payments for services rendered. A chargeback of payment for services rendered will result in an additional charge of $150 and will be subject to collection by an authorized collection agency. It may also result in a negative credit score of the Customer.
Non-Payment
All payments are due in full on the monthly anniversary date. Failure to remit payment for services on the monthly anniversary date is a violation of the TOS. A late fee of $10 will be incurred for failure to remit payment for services on or before the monthly anniversary date. Failure to remit payment for fourteen (14) consecutive days, including the anniversary date, shall result in a termination of public access to Customer services. Customer shall maintain access to data and services through the service network. A $20 reconnect fee will be incurred for failure to remit payment for services after public access has been disconnected. Failure to remit payment for services within twenty (20) consecutive days, including the anniversary date, shall result in termination of access to the service network and all services shall be reclaimed. All Customer data remaining after twenty (20) days of non-payment will be destroyed for security and privacy reasons.

EZOSHosting agrees to use best efforts and commercially reasonable best practices when deploying services related to data integrity, backup, security, and retention. These services include, but are not limited to: hard drive storage, raid hard drive arrays, network attached storage, storage area networks, operating system installs, operating system reloads, customer portal information, and other situations involving customer data. Customer assumes ultimate responsibility for data integrity, retention, security, backup, and ownership.
Identity Use
Customer agrees to use EZOSHosting logos, information, and related services in accordance to the approved marketing guidelines. EZOSHosting agrees not to use Customer name, logos, or information without prior consent of Customer.
Laws
Customer agrees to abide by all local, state, and federal laws pursuant to services delivered in the United States of America or Germany. All contact terms found herein shall be bound by Texas State Law, Federal German law or the Uniform Commercial Code whichever may be applicable.
Mutual Indemnification
Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party, the other party’s affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, attorneys, agents, and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, punitive damages, amounts in interest, expenses and disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) brought by a third party under any theory of legal liability arising out of or related to the indemnifying party’s actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation of a third party’s copyright, trade secret, patent, trademark, or other proprietary right.
Limitation of Liability
EZOSHosting shall not be liable to Customer for harm caused by or related to Customer’s services or inability to utilize the services unless caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for lost profits, direct or indirect, special or incidental, consequential or punitive, or damages of any kind whether or not they were known or should have been known. Notwithstanding anything else in this agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of EZOSHosting and any of its employees, agents or affiliates, under any theory of law shall not exceed a payment of money not to exceed the amount paid by the customer for hosting services for the month prior to the occurrence of the event(s) giving rise to the claim.
