For example, if the downtime occurs during the month of December, we must receive your e-mail between January 1 and January 7. E-mail notifications that are not sent within the first seven (7) days of the month immediately following the downtime will not be eligible for credits.
11. The amount of the credits are determined by the following rule, based on the amount of Network Uptime the Hostspicy network has provided for the month in which a credit is requested:
    1. We will issue credits of 1% from the monthly amount paid for the hosting account (excluding any added cost related to add-ons, upgrades, licenses or configurable options) for each 1 minute of downtime unless the reason for the downtime is listed in these terms of service as a reason in which no such reimbursement will be made.
    2. If the hosting account is not billed monthly, the refund will still be calculated based on the monthly proportion.
    3. The credited and/or refunded compensation will not be more than 100% of the amount paid by the customer for the month of service, or the monthly proportion if the hosting account is not billed on a monthly basis.
    4. If the total approved compensation to a customer is more than $100, the compensation will be provided in the form of Hostspicy account credit that can be applied for unpaid invoices, rather than an actual refund of the customer's payment.
    5. For example, if the hosting account's base cost is $120/Year. The monthly amount is $120 divided by 12 months and so 1% of $10 will be credited for each minute of downtime as explained above, up to a total of no more than $10.
    6. Any and all credits will be issued based on Hostspicy's sole discretion.

Mandatory Arbitration Agreement For Dispute Resolution

1. Mindful of the high cost of litigation, you and Hostspicy agree to the following dispute resolution procedure: in the event of any controversy, claim, action or dispute arising out of or related to:
   1. the Website;
   2. this Agreement;
   3. the Services;
   4. the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement; or
   5. any other dispute between you and Hostspicy ("Dispute"), the party asserting the Dispute shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party (by first class or registered mail) describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to (1) if to Hostspicy at: the offices of our registered agent or (2) if to you at: your last-used billing address in your Account information. Both you and Hostspicy agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.
2. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Hostspicy in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Hostspicy agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms.
3. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND Hostspicy ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Payments, Cancellations, Disputes & Chargebacks

1. All charges payable by you for the Services shall be in accordance with the scale of charges and rates published from time to time by us on our website and shall be due and payable in advance of our service provision.

4. Payment is due each anniversary month, quarter, half-year, or year following the date in which the services were established until a cancellation request is given by you.
5. All payments must be in US Dollars.
6. When an order is paid for using Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, or any other accepted cryptocurrency, it undergoes a different fraud check process. This is due to the nonreversible nature and significantly lower chargeback risk that cryptocurrency payments carry. By choosing to pay for your order with a cryptocurrency, you understand that you will not be able to later switch to a different, non-cryptocurrency payment method due to the fraud risks involved in making such a switch and you agree that all future payments under your account must be made using cryptocurrency.
7. Late payments are defined as payments made past the due date of an invoice. Once an invoice is overdue, a late fee is added to the invoice on the amount of USD $5 or 10% of the invoice's total amount to be paid, whichever is greater.
8. We require our customers to submit a request for service cancellation through our client area system no later than one day before the service's due date as it appears on our system. In any case, a member fails to submit such request he will be held liable for all charges that are to be due at the service's due date (or one day before the due date, for that matter).
9. Reversal of payment of any type is unacceptable. Such reversals include but are not limited to PayPal dispute or charge-back, credit card or bank charge-back, bank reversal and any other act that reverts the payment made to Hostspicy. You confirm that such reversals will not take place to the best of your abilities and that if such do take place you will find an alternative funding source and pay the required amount within two hours from the moment the reversal occurred.
10. When Hostspicy is informed of a reversal of payment done on your account, your services and/or products and/or add-ons will be suspended immediately. If the reversal is not resolved within 24 hours, the services and/or products and/or add-ons may be terminated.
11. Renewal of access to the server or its data may sometimes be possible after the reversal is resolved if the service has not yet been terminated. Renewal of access will require a $50 reversal resolution fee which must be paid before access to the server or data is restored.
12. Without prejudice to our other rights and remedies under this Agreement, if any sum payable is not paid on or before the due date, we shall be entitled forthwith to suspend or terminate the provision of Services to you.

Account Termination

4. Un-used credits are fully refundable if not used in any invoices or services , for this customers can open a ticket and asked for refund the availble credit balance. Refund can be process on the same payment method from which the customers paid by.
5. Every new server incurs an estimated 25% setup fee charge that is transparently discounted from the total server cost to the customer. As a result, the setup is usually free.

This includes cases in which the customer does not wish to complete our fraud prevention procedure for any reason.

Affiliate Program

1. We offer an affiliate program that allows you to share a unique referral link with others who have never used our services before in any way or form and receive a commission for their purchases, as well as offer them a special discount code.

In order to be eligible to receive the affiliate discount and/or the affiliate commission, the account profile information of the referring user, as well as the user being referred, must be accurately set at the time of order.

Doing any of the above mentioned prohibited activities will invalidate your affiliate account and any pending payouts it may have.
