NO SPAM; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
We do not tolerate the transmission of spam. We monitor all traffic to and from our web servers for indications of spamming and maintain a spam abuse complaint center to register allegations of spam abuse. Customers suspected to be using our products and services to send spam are fully investigated. If we determine there is a problem with spam, we will take the appropriate action to resolve the situation.
We define spam as the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE), Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE), or Unsolicited Facsimiles (Fax), which is email or facsimile sent to recipients as an advertisement or otherwise, without first obtaining prior confirmed consent to receive these communications. This can include, but is not limited to, the following:
- Email Messages
- Newsgroup postings
- Windows system messages
- Pop-up messages (aka “adware” or “spyware” messages)
- Instant messages (using AOL, MSN, Yahoo, or other instant messenger programs)
- Online chat room advertisements
- Guestbook or Website Forum postings
- Facsimile Solicitations
- Text/SMS Messages
We will not allow our servers and services to be used for the purposes described above. To use our products and services, you must not only abide by all applicable laws and regulations, which include all national and international laws, but you must also abide by the no-spam policy. Commercial advertising and/or bulk emails or faxes may only be sent to recipients who have “opted-in” to receive messages. They must include a legitimate return address and reply-to address, the sender’s physical address, and an opt-out method in the footer of the email or fax. Upon request by us, conclusive proof of opt-in may be required for an email address or fax number. If we determine the services in question are being used in association with spam, we will re-direct, suspend, or cancel any website hosting, domain registration, email boxes, or other applicable services for a period of no less than two (2) days. The registrant or customer will be required to respond by email to us stating that they will cease to send spam and/or have spam sent on their behalf. We may require a non-refundable reactivation fee to be paid before the site, email boxes, and/or services are reactivated. In the event we determine the abuse has not stopped after services have been restored the first time, we may terminate the hosting (or services) and email boxes associated with the domain name in question. We encourage all customers and recipients of emails generated from our products and services to report suspected spam. Suspected abuse can be reported by email or through our contact form available on the website.
Liquidated Damages:
You agree that we may immediately terminate any Account which we believe, in our sole and absolute discretion, is transmitting or is otherwise connected with any spam or other unsolicited bulk email. In addition, if actual damages cannot be reasonably calculated then you agree to pay us liquidated damages in the amount of $1.00 for each piece of spam or unsolicited bulk email transmitted from or otherwise connected with your Account.
TRADEMARK AND/OR COPYRIGHT CLAIMS
Tezhost is a strong advocate of the protection of intellectual property. If you would like to submit (i) a trademark claim for violation of a mark on which you hold a valid, registered trademark or service mark, or (ii) a copyright claim for material on which you hold a bona fide copyright, please refer to Tezhost’s Trademark and/or Copyright Infringement Policy referenced above and available here.

All prices and fees are non-refundable unless otherwise expressly noted in the Refund Policy section below, even if your Services are suspended, terminated, or transferred before the end of the Services term. Tezhost expressly reserves the right to change or modify its prices and fees at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be posted online at this Site and effective immediately without need for further notice to you. If you have purchased or obtained Services for a period of months or years, changes or modifications in prices and fees shall be effective when the Services in question come up for renewal as further described below.

Your Payment Method on account or invoice must be kept valid if you have any active Services in your Account. You acknowledge and agree that where refunds are issued to your Payment Method, Tezhost’s issuance of a refund receipt is only confirmation that Tezhost has submitted your refund to the Payment Method charged at the time of the original sale and that Tezhost has no control over when the refund will be applied towards your Payment Method’s available balance. You further acknowledge and agree that the payment provider and/or individual issuing bank associated with your Payment Method establish and regulate the time frames for posting your refund, and that such refund posting time frames may range from five (5) business days to a full billing cycle, or longer. In the event, a refund is issued to your Payment Method and the payment provider, payment processor or individual issuing bank associated with your Payment Method imposes any limitations on refunds, including but not limited to, limitations as to the timing of the refund or the number of refunds allowed, then Tezhost, in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right to issue the refund either (i) in the form of an in-account credit; or (ii) via issuance of a Tezhost cheque, which will be sent to the mailing address on file for your Account. Tezhost also has the right, but not the obligation, to offer an in-store credit for customers seeking refunds, even if there are no limitations on refunds imposed by the Payment Method. For the avoidance of doubt, any refunds processed via the issuance of either in-store credits or a Tezhost check are solely within Tezhost’s discretion and are not available at customer request.
If you are being billed monthly, your monthly billing date will be based on the date of the month you purchased the Services unless that date falls after the 28th of the month, in which case your billing date will be the 28th of each month.
To ensure that you do not experience an interruption or loss of Services, most Services offer an automatic renewal option. The automatic renewal option automatically renews the applicable Service for a renewal period equal in time to the most recent service period, except for domain names that will renew for the original service period. For example, for products other than domains, if your last service period is for one year, your renewal period will be for one year. While the details of the automatic renewal option vary from Service to Service, the Services that offer an automatic renewal option treat it as the default setting. Therefore, unless you disable the automatic renewal option, Tezhost will automatically renew the applicable Service when it comes up for renewal and will take payment from the Payment Method you have on file with Tezhost at Tezhost’s then-current rates, which you acknowledge and agree may be higher or lower than the rates for the original service period. To see the renewal settings applicable to you and your Services, simply log into your Client Area account from this Site here and check with the relevant service. You may enable or disable the automatic renewal option at any time. However, should you elect to disable the automatic renewal option and fail to manually renew your Services before they expire, you may experience an interruption or loss of Services, and Tezhost shall not be liable to you or any third party regarding the same.
In addition, Tezhost may participate in “recurring billing programs” or “account updater services” supported by your credit card provider (and ultimately dependent on your bank’s participation). If you are enrolled in an automatic renewal option and we are unable to successfully charge your existing Payment Method, your credit card provider (or your bank) may notify us of updates to your credit card number and/or expiration date, or they may automatically charge your new credit card on our behalf without notification to us. By recurring billing program requirements, if we are notified of an update to your credit card number and/or expiration date, Tezhost will automatically update your payment profile on your behalf. Tezhost makes no guarantees that we will request or receive updated credit card information. You acknowledge and agree that it is your sole responsibility to modify and maintain your Account settings, including but not limited to (i) setting your renewal options and (ii) ensuring your associated Payment Method(s) are current and valid. Further, you acknowledge and agree that your failure to do so, may result in the interruption or loss of Services, and Tezhost shall not be liable to you or any third party regarding the same. If for any reason Tezhost is unable to charge your Payment Method for the full amount owed for the Services provided, or if Tezhost receives the notification of a chargeback, reversal, payment dispute, or is charged a penalty for any fee it previously charged to your Payment Method, you agree that Tezhost may pursue all available lawful remedies to obtain payment, including but not limited to, immediate cancellation, without notice to you, of any domain names or Services registered or renewed on your behalf. Tezhost also reserves the right to charge you reasonable “administrative fees” or “processing fees” for (i) tasks Tezhost may perform outside the normal scope of its Services, (ii) additional time and/or costs Tezhost may incur in providing its Services, and/or (iii) your non-compliance with this Agreement (as determined by Tezhost in its sole and absolute discretion). Typical administrative or processing fee scenarios include, but are not limited to (i) customer service issues that require additional personal time or attention; (ii) UDRP actions(s) in connection with your domain name(s), and/or disputes that require accounting or legal services, whether performed by Tezhost staff or by outside firms retained by Tezhost; (iii) recouping any fees, including the cost of Services, incurred by Tezhost as the results of chargebacks or other payment disputes brought by you, your bank or Payment Method processor. These administrative fees or processing fees will be billed to the Payment Method you have on file with Tezhost. Tezhost may offer product-level pricing in various currencies; however, transaction processing is supported only in U.S. dollars and a selective number of currency options are displayed on this Site (“Supported Currency” or “Supported Currencies”). If the currency selected is a Supported Currency, then the transaction will be processed in the Supported Currency and the pricing displayed during the checkout process will be the actual amount processed and submitted to your bank for payment. If the currency selected is not a Supported Currency, then the transaction will be processed in U.S. dollars and the pricing displayed during the checkout process will be an estimated conversion price at the time of purchase. In either case (whether the currency selected is a Supported Currency or not), if the transaction is processed in a currency that differs from the currency of your bank account, you may be charged exchange rate conversion fees by your bank. In addition, due to time differences between (i) the time you complete the checkout process, (ii) the time the transaction is processed, and (iii) the time the transaction posts to your bank statement, the conversion rates may fluctuate, and Tezhost makes no representations or warranties that (a) the amount submitted to your bank for payment will be the same as the amount posted to your bank statement (in the case of a Supported Currency) or (b) the estimated conversion price will be the same as either the amount processed or the amount posted to your bank statement (in the case of a non-Supported Currency), and you agree to waive any claims based upon such discrepancies (including any claims for a refund based on the foregoing). In addition, regardless of the selected currency, you acknowledge and agree that you may be charged Value Added Tax (“VAT“), Goods and Services Tax (“GST“), or other localized fees and/or taxes, based on your bank and/or the country indicated in your billing address section.
REFUND POLICY
Products and Services available for refunds are only hosting related not domain and bound to time. In the event you purchase a product that includes service, if you cancel the product, the list price for the service will be deducted from the refund amount. The list price is the price of the domain name listed on Tezhost’s website and is not subject to any promotion, discount, or other reduction in price.
PAYPAL
By using Tezhost’s 2Checkout PayPal payment option, you can purchase Services using PayPal. In connection therewith, you agree to allow PayPal to debit the full amount of your purchase from your PayPal account or credit card(s), bank account(s), or other allowed payment method(s) linked to your PayPal Account (“PayPal Funding Source”). It is your responsibility to keep your PayPal Account and PayPal Funding Source current and funded, and your PayPal Account backed by a valid credit card. You acknowledge and agree that (i) PayPal reserves the right to decline a transaction for any reason (including, but not limited to, payments that fail to go through as a result of your PayPal Account or PayPal Funding Source no longer existing or not holding available/sufficient funds) and (ii) in such event, neither 2Checkout/PayPal nor Tezhost shall be liable to you or any third party regarding the same. If for any reason PayPal is unable to withdraw the full amount owed for your purchase, you agree that PayPal and Tezhost may pursue all available lawful remedies to obtain payment. You agree that if the transaction is returned unpaid, you will pay a service charge of $25.00 or the maximum amount allowed by law, which may be debited from your PayPal Account or PayPal Funding Source.
By clicking the box labeled “I agree” to the terms of the PayPal payment option, you authorize a debit of the full amount of your purchase from your PayPal Account or PayPal Funding Source.
UNCLAIMED PROPERTY; DORMANCY CHARGES
Please be advised that if a customer has an outstanding account balance (a credit positive balance) for three (3) years or more for any reason, and (i) Tezhost is unable to issue payment to such customer or (ii) Tezhost issued payment to the such customer in the form of a paper check, but the check was never cashed, then Tezhost shall turn over such account balance to own account as per law. You acknowledge and agree that in either case (i) or (ii) above, Tezhost may withhold a dormancy charge in an amount equal to the lesser of $15.00 or the total outstanding account balance associated with such customer.
