This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of Your use of AgeVPS’s Server services (collectively, the “Services”) and represents the entire agreement between You and AgeVPS relating to the Services. This Agreement contains provisions that set forth AgeVPS’s Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy and guarantees of a certain service level (found in the “Uptime Guarantee” and “Service Level” sections below).

By purchasing the Services, You acknowledge and agree that You have read, understand, acknowledge and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, along with any new, different or additional terms, conditions or policies that AgeVPS may establish and post on its website from time to time.

Description of Services

AgeVPS provides the Services to its customers for a monthly fee. AgeVPS will provide You an account on one or more of its servers, provided, however, You abide by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in any other agreement pertaining to other services you may purchase. AgeVPS reserves the right to modify its network and facilities used to provide the Services for purposes including, but not limited to, accommodating evolving technology and increased network demand, and providing enhanced services. AgeVPS shall use reasonable efforts to notify You in advance of any planned changes to AgeVPS’s network or facilities that may adversely affect the Services provided under this Agreement.

Fees

Fees for Services ordered by You shall be charged beginning on the date of the initial order and that date shall serve as the monthly anniversary date for all future billings including one time fees, 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.

From time to time it may be necessary to make adjustments in the fees and surcharges charged for the Services in order to cover certain changing costs (e.g., power) incurred by AgeVPS in providing the services. Such adjustments will be reflected on the statement or invoice provided to you for the Services, and you agree to pay for the fees and surcharges for the Services, as adjusted.

Payment Options

In the event Your invoice is 3-days or more past due (from the invoice Due Date) then AgeVPS reserves the right to suspend service or terminate service after 5 days past due until payment is received.

Late Payment

AgeVPS reserves the right to charge a late fee of 1.5% per invoice per month on late payments. Invoices will be automatically considered late once the invoice due date has passed.

Non-payment Termination

In the event you fail to pay your invoice within 3 days of the due date, we reserve the right to suspend your service.

If you are still past due on the 5th day from the due date on the invoice, we reserve the right to terminate your service entirely and reformat your server.

If you are terminated for non-payment, we also reserve the right to refer your account to a third party collection agency and you agree to pay any collection fees or legal fees we may be charged to collect on your debt.

Overage Billing

“Overage” is defined as usage of the Services provided by AgeVPS to You in excess of the allocated limitation. Overages are charged for SAN, Backup, Bandwidth and Professional Services (administrative time) used in excess of the amount allocated to Your account.

You agree to pay the then-current Overage fees and charges for the AgeVPS services, including backup and bandwidth Overage fees, upon receipt of an invoice. Overage rates are set and published on our website at http://www.agevps.com/informations/addon_pricing/. Usage information is available through your AgeVPS Account Executive.

Overage fees can be avoided by subscribing to a higher service plan.

Cancellation and Refunds

AgeVPS is not able to schedule cancellation for a specific time or date. To submit a cancellation request, please send us and email at billing@agevs.com.

Then, we will immediately suspend billing and cancel the server. We are not able to provide scheduled cancellations and all cancellations are effective immediately. Regarding mid-month or mid-period cancellations, AgeVPS will not issue pro-rated refunds for cancellations received in the middle of a payment cycle.

Refunds will not be given on a pro-rated basis for Services provided in a given billing period. Receipt by you of any Services in a given period will obligate you to pay for the Services during that entire billing period.

Term and Termination and Money Back Guarantee

You agree to a month to month term for the Services unless otherwise agreed to in writing. The month to month term for services is automatically renewed each month unless either party notifies the other in writing of its desire that the Agreement not be renewed, no later than three (3) days before the next upcoming anniversary date for billing. You may cancel Your account by terminating this Agreement in this manner by contacting the AgeVPS billing department.

AgeVPS may terminate this Agreement effective immediately and without notice upon any breach by You of any of the terms of this Agreement. In such event, AgeVPS shall have no obligation to refund any fees paid in advance by You.

Promotional or Special Offers: Pre-payment Offers

From time to time, AgeVPS may offer discounted pricing for initial introductory periods (e.g., discounted fees for the first months service.) A condition of such discounted pricing may be the requirement that prepayment for a period longer than the introductory period be paid.

An Incident may contain numerous Complaints. Incidents may contain Complaints received up to 24 hours after the first. After 24 hours, a new Incident will be opened. “IP Black Listing” is an occurrence when a third party black listing service determines that a AgeVPS issued IP address is a frequent source of Unsolicited E-mail. Black Listings result in the IP address (or multiple IP addresses in the same “IP range”) are unable to send E-mail to certain third parties.

AgeVPS considers any attempt to send Unsolicited E-mail Messages or other forms of Spam E-mail (including “Spamvertising” other websites or services or products) to be violations of this Agreement.

To help reduce the overall Unsolicited E-mail problem, AgeVPS has put into place the following 3-Strike Policy: For every Unsolicited E-mail Incident, AgeVPS will assess a penalty of $25.00 per verified Incident and a penalty of $200 for the first instance of IP Black Listing and $400 for the second instance of IP Black Listing (collectively, the “Penalties”.) For each $25.00 Unsolicited E-mail Incident Penalty, you will be issued one strike. For your first IP Black Listing Incident, you will be issued one strike. For your second IP Black Listing Incident, you will be issued two strikes. On your third strike, AgeVPS reserves the right to terminate your service with or without warning. If your service is terminated under the Unsolicited E-mail Policy then you forfeit all fees paid, including pre-paid fees and unused time. All fees paid become non-refundable. Further, account termination does not absolve or nullify Penalty payments you may owe to AgeVPS. Further, you may accumulate additional Penalties based on complaints received after your termination. This section of the Agreement will survive for a period of one year after this agreement is terminated.
