Account Setup / Email on file

We will setup your account after we have received payment and we and/or our payment partner(s) have screened the order(s) in case of fraud. It is your responsibility to provide us with an email address which is not @ the domain(s) you are signing up under. If there is ever an abuse issue or we need to contact you, the primary email address on file will be used for this purpose. It is your responsibility to ensure the email address on file is current or up to date at all times. Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of your account.In high risk transactions, it will be necessary to provide government issued identification and possibly a scan of the credit card used for the purchase. If you fail to meet these requirements, the order may be considered fraudulent in nature and be denied.

Transfers

OnGoingHost.com will make every effort to help you move your site to us, however, we can not make guarantees of the transfer process. We provide this as a courtesy service and can not make guarantees regarding its availability or the amount of time it may take as each host is configured a little differently. We will try our best, however, in some cases we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host.

Billing and Payment Cycles

If, at any time, a chargeback is issued through your credit card company, bank or Paypal (including Paypal disputes) we will immediately suspend all services listed on your billing account, including services not covered under the chargeback or dispute, and start collection efforts. These same terms apply to overdue invoices. Services are invoiced approximately 14 days before your billing cycle ends, with several reminders sent until the account due date. Overdue invoices are charged a $10 late fee. Hosting accounts are suspended when they go 3 days past due and terminated 30 days past due. OnGoingHost.com does NOT store credit card information and does NOT automatically charge you for services. You are responsible for logging into your Client Area to submit payment at the end of each billing cycle.

We accept most major credit cards as well as Paypal and electronic check payment. IMPORTANT: You can choose to pay your invoices with Paypal Subscription service. With a Paypal Subscription, you are telling Paypal to send us a certain amount of money on a certain date - UNTIL YOU TELL THEM TO STOP PAYING US. If you accidentally set up two Paypal Subscriptions, then Paypal will pay us twice. We have no way to "take" money from your Paypal account. If you accidentally overpay us via Paypal Subscription, you need to cancel your Paypal Subscriptions from within your Paypal account and contact us immediately. OnGoingHost.com will only refund ONE Paypal Subscription overpayment - all others will be credited to your billing account for future payments. If you cancel and still have Paypal Subscription credits left, you will lose those credits.
