Terms and Conditions

Terms
The term of this TOS will be a minimum of 2 years for all services rendered from start date, unless otherwise stated and agreed at the time of purchase. Orders completed online are by default month to month. If special circumstances exist a Master Services Agreement, Service Schedule, or Contract may be created, signed and apply. Monthly services are for the full term of the month. Yearly services are for the full term of the year.

This TOS will continue perpetual until you or ONeilOnline provides two (2) days prior written notice of termination for hosting services. Hosting services totaling $500 or more are required to submit written notice of termination 30 days prior to termination of services. Services under agreement, a cancellation fee of 10% of the monthly invoice for the remaining months of service up to 2 years will be billed. If a Service Schedule or Contract is in place, please see section Term and Termination for details of the term and steps for termination. To provide your notice of termination for hosting services, you must login to your client portal (login via My Account), submit a cancellation ticket to the accounting department and fill out the corresponding cancellation form to initiate the cancellation of your Service. If special circumstances exist, termination criteria will be stated in the agreement.

Registering for, using the service, making payments and transactions for services as stated on the invoice, is an acknowledgment in agreement to and bound by the Terms of Service (TOS), Service Level Agreement (SLA), and the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).

Customer's Hosting History
Prior to accepting all orders customers are validated and checked against FraudRecord, Maxmind, and other reporting agencies and websites to validate the customer's hosting history. The is to ensure and protect ONeilOnline from fraud, spammers, and any malicious intent that may originate from our network. If a history is found the order will be canceled and/or refunded, and the account closed. Any Fraud or malicious history will be reported to the appropriate agencies.

Because all orders are validated and checked, if we have any suspicion of Fraud or malicious intent, even if payment has been completed, the order may remain as "Pending" until an inquiry from the customer is initiated. At point which identification verification may be requested until the order is processed and proceeds.

If history is discovered after or during the usage of our services we consider this to be a direct violation of our TOS and AUP. This forfeits any money, fees, and/or payments submitted by you the customer. This states that money, fees, payments made for Services CAN NOT be “Reversed”, “Refund”, and/or “Chargeback”, including any “Money Back Guarantee”, at any time during or after Services Activated, this Master Agreement, Delivery Agreement and/or Service(s) Termination has been established and/or set forth, or anytime thereafter for the duration of existence of ONeil Online (oneilonline).

Forms: Identity Verification, IP Justification, Master Agreement
Forms, one or in combination, may be requested to complete your order. Any additional requested information for Identity Verification or IP Justification is used solely for business purposes and operations. Any additional information requested in a Master Agreement is used for business legal purposes. All provided information is gathered using secure methods and retained offline in a secure facility for ONLY legal purposes. If you trust us with your data, we trust that you are legitimate and act legitimately. Otherwise, we may, in our sole discretion, provide information about you to law enforcement or other government officials for purposes of fraud investigations, alleged intellectual property infringement, or any other suspected illegal activity or matters that may expose us to legal liability.

Identity Verification Form (IVF)
- We may require more information to verify your identification because:
  • You are located outside the US, or your country of origin has a history of fraud.
  • Your account address does not match the location of your IP, a proxy was used, or any attempt to misrepresent your location.
  • Our checks against FraudRecord, Maxmind, and other reporting agencies and websites to validate the customer's hosting history have revealed some questionable activity.
IP Justification Form (IPJF)
- We require an IP Justification form for ANY additional IP requests because:
  • ONeilOnline conforms to the North American IP Registry (ARIN) policies regarding IP address allocation. We are required the ability to demonstrate to ARIN that IP addresses allocated are being used efficiently. Per ARIN guidelines (http://www.arin.net/intro.html), organizations will be assigned address space based on immediate 80% utilization plus three month and six month utilization rate and supply documentation to justify the level of confidence.
  • All IP usage must be justified and used for valid reasons. Malicious, illegal, or the intent to spam is not justified. If there is a method to share an IP, the request for a dedicated IP is not justified.
Master Agreement (MA)
- We would require a Master Agreement because:
  • Services in excess of 5 are considered bulk.
  • Services totaling $500 or more.
  • Services that have an extended terms of service, usage, or involve dedicated staff.
Orders will NOT be completed, and remain in "Pending" status, until all forms are completed and signed with a valid signature. Typing your name into the signature box does NOT qualify as a valid signature. Failure to to complete the form and/or to communicate via the ticket, will result in the ticket being closed, the order being canceled, and forfeiting any refund. Based on the information provided and IP logs, at this point the order may be considered Fraud. As stated previously, with any information provided: We may, in our sole discretion, provide information about you to law enforcement or other government officials for purposes of fraud investigations, alleged intellectual property infringement, or any other suspected illegal activity or matters that may expose us to legal liability.

Fraud, Spam or Malicious Intent
We have a VERY strict TOS and AUP on Fraud, Spam or Malicious Intent. Placing an order using a proxy or IP spoofing is strictly not allowed. If a login from an IP beyond reasonable distance is on record during purchase, support, or when login to any service is not allowed. Using a proxy or VPN to place an order or access service is strictly not allowed. This is considered intent or an attempt to commit Fraud and/or malicious activities. All such activities are a violation of this TOS and AUP. As outlined any violation of the TOS is a forfeit of any money paid. Any and all Fraud, Spam and Malicious activity or intent will be reported to the appropriate agencies, local authorities of the customer, and the FBI.

Service, Service Activation, Build Times
Service activation information and service build times are posted with the service on our website. You can view the status of your order any time within the service page of your account online.

ALL service orders will be vetted by our sales staff, including the customer's hosting history as outlined above. Any Validation Forms, or IP Justification Forms, will be sent when an order is received AND must be completed, signed, and approved prior to an order entering build. Build times start when the service enters build, NOT when payment is completed.

Most of our services are instant activation, meaning that once payment is completed and cleared, service is automatically activated. However services like dedicated servers, or custom build and configuration of servers, take time to complete.

When an order enters "In Build" or "Build" status, this means the order is approved and is now at the datacenter. At this status, cancellations are NOT allowed, ALL sales are final, as outline in this TOS. All build times are estimated times for delivery. Understandably, we do not know the minute by minute activities at our datacenters, so we do not know how busy staff is at the time the order is received at the datacenter, hence build times are estimated. Repeatedly creating support tickets to inquire about the status, or making threats of any kind, as a result of impatience will NOT make the build time any faster. This behavior is a violation of our TOS and may result in your order being canceled.

"Push Build", "Rush Build", or builds that require less time may be requested, but we can not make any guarantees. Please plan accordingly to allow for build times, this is not our responsibility. We would much rather take our time to get it correct the first time, rather than rush and have the customer experience issues down the line.

When service is activated, a Welcome Email will be sent outlining the details of your service and any logon information.

Custom OS Installations
The customer may request a Custom OS installation during the configuration section of checkout. The custom OS installation is to be completed using IPMI or KVMIP. Completing a custom OS installation, using IPMI or KVMIP, allows the customer to alter, for better or worse, starting at the BIOS level, the performance of the server and its hardware. As a result, a custom OS voids any responsibility towards ONeilOnline for the performance of the server. It is NOT a reflection of the service, performance, or hardware operated and maintained by ONeilOnline. ONeilOnline is NOT responsible for the installation, operation, configuration, maintenance, and performance of the unmanaged server. OS support or issues that may arise, is limited by ONeilOnline because of license agreements in place, therefore requests should be made to the OS manufacturer. A degradation of performance and/or service as a result is a direct violation of our TOS, and forfeits any money paid, or request for refund.

Game Servers: ONeilOnline or Watta Server
Game servers are allowed to be hosted on dedicated servers or a VPS from Watta Server or ONeilOnline. We do not recommend game servers to be hosted on a VPS due to the shared and limited resources of a VPS.

Game Servers: OorahGaming
Oorah Gaming is a game hosting provider, we are not game developers. Our product is the game server, the hardware and network it runs on. We perform rigorous testing on all game servers prior to releasing their availability on our website. This ensures that when a game server is purchased by the customer, we know it will work without issue out of the box. If the game server includes an addon or mod that is available through our website or our TCAdmin control panel, this too has undergone the same rigorous testing to ensure they work out of the box. We are available for help or assistance if you wish to config, modify, install addons, install mods, etc. We will try our best to get these added features to work, but we can not make any guarantees, as this is beyond our scope of products we offer.

We are not responsible for issues or compatibility issues that are the result of the game developers or game development. This includes issues from games that are in Beta or Alpha release. Understandably, such issues are beyond our support abilities and is an issue that should be brought up with the game developers. Because of the issues and instability often found with Beta or Alpha releases, these can often affect the performance of the server, and is not our responsibility or a reflection of our hardware or network. No refunds will be granted for games that are in Alpha or Beta release.

We are not responsible for issues or compatibility issues that are the result of a Game Addon or Game Mod. Understandably, such issues are beyond our support abilities and is an issue that should be brought up with the game addon/mod developers. Because of the issues and instability often found with Addons or Mods, these can often affect the performance of the server, and is not our responsibility or a reflection of our hardware or network. No refunds will be granted for Game Addons or Game Mods that do not work and/or cause issues.

We have DDoS protection in place for all game server nodes that automatically monitors and mitigates all forms of DDoS attacks. However, if the DDoS attack is large enough a null route may be the only choice to prevent further network issues and/or interruptions. Oorah Gaming is not responsible for DDoS attacks that may render your game server to perform poorly due to high bandwidth usage or a null route. Any downtime as a result of a DDoS attack is unfortunate, but if it is beyond our abilities to mitigate this is not a reflection of our network performance or server performance. In the gaming industry DDoS attacks are typically the result of a "pissed off" gamer who is enacting revenge on a game server admin. If you are aware who the attacker is, the IP or SteamID, we can look into the source and block, ban, and/or report them because DDoS attacks are a violation at all ISPs and will result in an immediate account termination at that ISP. The DDoS attacker and DDoS target are third parties and beyond our service or control, Oorah Gaming is not responsible. Therefore, no refunds will be granted as a result of a DDoS attack.

Oorah Gaming 24 Hour Money Back Guarantee is available upon request and must be approved. The refund request must be submitted prior to the 24 hour deadline from the time the order was placed. The customer must have a valid reason or issue to qualify for this refund. The customer must make contact with OorahGaming support staff and troubleshoot the issue beyond a reasonable doubt to qualify for this refund. The customer must be fully cooperative and informative in troubleshooting the issue with support staff. If an Oorah Gaming support staff has altered, extended, or waived any of the requirements for the refund, this will be reflected in the support ticket and be on record. The 24 Hour Money Back Guarantee does NOT cover buyer's remorse, to ensure fair use and no abuse of this guarantee. The terms set forth within this TOS also apply to this 24 hour money back guarantee.

Web Hosting
Our unlimited features, like unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, etc means that when your website becomes popular you don't have to worry about these features having limits. We want our customers to be able to build and grow their websites without having to worry about disk space and bandwidth. To maintain stable server operation, all customers must use their hosting accounts in accordance with our Terms of Service (TOS) and Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). These policies are in place solely to ensure our customers have the best possible hosting experience, and to do that, we do need to ensure disk space and bandwidth are used in the regular operation of websites. You can find a more in depth explanation of what unlimited means here.

Password Security/Order Validity
It is your sole responsibility to monitor use of your user ID and password (“Access Codes”) for all purposes, including, but not limited to, ordering from ONeilOnline’s website and customer support portal. You accept all responsibility for the security of your Access Codes and utilization of the secure areas of ONeilOnline’s website.

IP Addresses
ONeilOnline conforms to the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), RIPE Network Coordination Centre (RIPE), and Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) policies regarding IP address allocation.

ONeilOnline will maintain and control ownership of all Internet Protocol (”IP”) numbers and addresses that ONeilOnline may assign to you. ONeilOnline may, in its sole discretion, change or remove any and all IP numbers and addresses at any time. A request for many IPs may require an IP Justification Form to be completed prior to the assignment of the IPs. This form is to verify the terms of service and justification of the IPs. Services like web hosting, email hosting, SSL certificates, nameservers, VPN, are services that do NOT require multiple IPs and reasoning as such will result in an IP justification that is denied.

ONeilOnline takes internet abuse of services, including but not limited to, hacking, spam, spamvertising, and IP black listing as a result of these actions very seriously.

RDNS/PTR Requests
The PTR record as an opposite of the A record. While the A record points a domain name to an IP address, the PTR record resolves the IP address to a domain/hostname. PTR records are used for the Reverse DNS lookup.

Currently RDNS requests can only be made once per week, per server. To request an RDNS Record to be created, please submit a support ticket. An RDNS request can be denied for one or more reasons:

  • There is no valid website. When accessing the domain there should display website content on that domain. Not any error page, not the default Apache or Nginx pages, or not any blank web page.
  • There is no valid A Record. A FQDN / domain name should ping and point to the IP, meaning the domain must be live. An RDNS record would ONLY be needed to send email. An RDNS record can only be created when an equivalent A Record has already been created and propagated. This will be verified upon creating the RDNS record. Otherwise the ONLY other reason you would need an RDNS/PTR record is to send spam or conduct malicious activity.
  • RDNS records can only be updated no less than one week. If there is an error or misspelling the record will be promptly corrected. But to request a completely new entry within a week time can be considered an abuse. DNS propagation can take 48 to 72 hours to complete, so to make a new request too soon would be pointless. Unless your intention is for malicious activity and/or SPAM.
  • There are open Abuse Reports on your IP. All Abuse Reports must be replied to in a timely manner to avoid service interruption and/or termination.
  • The service is either in Pending Termination or has been Terminated. Why would you terminate a service then ask for RDNS to be set? Come on now...

  • We have a VERY strict policy on SPAM. As we've stated previously, a RDNS/PTR record would ONLY be needed for email, so please don't try to convince us otherwise.

    Previously, customers were able to manage RDNS entries themselves via the Portal, however due to abuse this privilege has been revoked for the time being and will be reviewed again in the future.

    Domains
    ONeilOnline is a ICANN-Accredited Registrar, which governs all ONeilOnline brands, and the domains registered though ONeilOnline. All domain registrations are in accordance and bound by ICANN Governing Agreements and Policies.

    As with all registered domains, it is the customer's responsibility to maintain their WHOIS information. This information is sometimes also used for legal purposes, for proof of ownership of a domain or website. For that reason domains can be considered a business asset, all customers will want to update and maintain their WHOIS information so it is up-to-date. All domains registered through ONeilOnline use the customer's account information to automatically complete the domain's WHOIS information at the time of registration. In the event the customer's account information is incorrect, incomplete, or contains symbols, ONeilOnline information will be substituted. This can inadvertently make ONeilOnline owner of the domain or website. We take absolutely no responsibility for any legal actions that may result from this. Again, it is the customer's responsibility to maintain the WHOIS information, we can not emphasize this more. A customer can update and maintain their WHOIS information anytime using the domain manager portal.

    All new domain registrations and transfers will be put on a 60 day hold period. This means the domain may not be moved or transfered to another registrar or account during this period. This includes any domain purchased with or during a promotion or sale, and free domains that may be purchased with a service. This hold period is without exception; however, this status can be reviewed on a case by case basis to see if it can be overridden or altered.

    All domain transfers in or out may take up to 12 days to complete. This is due to domain ownership verification that takes place during the transfer process for both registrars involved. Please ensure all domain WHOIS information is correct and up-to-date, including the email addresses on record, as this information will be verified during the transfer process. ONeilOnline is not responsible for any issues or delays that may occur through or as a result of the third party, and/or as a result of incorrect WHOIS information.

    All domains and/or DNS changes take 24-48 hours to complete DNS propagation. DNS propagation is the period of time ISP nodes across the world take to update their caches with the new DNS information of your domain. In other words, it is the process of updating IP and/or domain information of every server between the registrar, the nameservers, the web host, and/or the end user. Understandably, this is beyond our control, ONeilOnline is not responsible for any delays that may occur from third parties.

    Web Development
    All web development conducted by ONeilOnline is outlined in the Master Agreement or Contract that is established and signed at the start of the web development process.

    Network Administration
    All network administration conducted by ONeilOnline is outlined in the Master Agreement or Contract that is established and signed prior to the start of the work to be completed.

    Support Services and Boundaries
    ONeilOnline provides 24/7/365 technical support. We limit our technical support to our area of expertise.
    The following are our guidelines when providing support:

  • ONeilOnline provides support for ONLY products and services we offer.
  • ONeilOnline does NOT provide support for application specific issues, such as any programming, web design or development, and third party applications unless stated within contract terms.
  • ONeilOnline only provides support in English. We do not provide support for Operating Systems in any other language than English. All communication is to be in English.
  • ONeilOnline does not provide technical support for your clients or customers.
  • Dedicated Servers are only allowed 1 OS reinstall per month, unless otherwise justified.
  • For ANY service provided, ANY custom configuration completed or attempted by the customer is not our responsibility and beyond our support domain.
  • For ANY service provided, ANY custom configuration completed or attempted by the customer is NOT covered by our Managed Services.

  • We encourage you to check our knowledge base for more detailed information.

    Communication: Contacting Us, Support System, Ticket System, Live Chat
    ONeilOnline offers three methods to contact us. #1 Our Ticket system is our primary method of contact, respond times are posted live to our website and typically are less than a minute. Sales, Support, and Abuse are all reported and communicated via the ticket system. The ticket system is preferred because all communication is recored and archived, this allows both our staff or the customer to review their history. #2 Live Chat is used with both the sales and support staff for communicating quick questions. If an inquiry is more lengthy a ticket may be created in order to complete a request or gain a full answer. #3 Our phone number is posted at the bottom of our website. The phone is ONLY for sales calls and business operations. All phone calls are screened/filtered before being answered. The phone is rarely used because there is no record of communication.

    All communication is to be conducted in a mature and professional manner. ANY childish, obnoxious, rude, belligerent, or trolling behavior/communication is considered communication abuse. Spamming the ticket system, or repeated requests/inquiries, is considered communication or ticket abuse. Posting to ANY forums or message boards in regards to support issues or inquiries, and/or trolling and for defamation purposes is also considered communication abuse. As with any Abuse and/or Abuse Report this is a violation of our TOS and may result in service being suspended and/or terminated, and your account closed, forfeiting any refund and/or money paid, without any notification. The saying, "the customer is always right" attitude does not give you the right to act inappropriately, or place you the customer above us. As stated previously, if you trust us with your data, we trust that you are legitimate and act legitimately. In addition, we are a professional business entity, we act professionally, so we expect you to act professionally.

    Interruption of Service
    ONeilOnline and its suppliers are not liable for any temporary delay, outages or interruptions of the Services, except as set forth in the Service Level Agreement. Further, ONeilOnline is not liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under this TOS, where the delay or failure results from any "act of God" or other cause beyond its reasonable control including any hardware, mechanical, electronic, communications or third-party supplier failure. All of ONeilOnline services are monitored 24/7, in the event a dedicated server is down our support staff is automatically notified. ONeilOnline managed services is covered by our signed SLA Agreement of a 2 hour response time. ONeilOnline unmanaged services is covered by our 24 hours response time, on a first come first serve basis.

    Abuse Reports, DDoS Attacks, Null Route
    Abuse Report(s) or DDoS attack(s) forfeits any money paid for services or refunds. Abuse Reports and Null Routes are a means to communicate with the customer and/or mitigate network abuse issues. All services are unmanaged unless stated otherwise, the customer is responsible to administrate and maintain the operation of the software and security of their server to ensure it is not compromised. This includes preventive measures to, but not limited to, Abuse Reports resulting in spam, high bandwidth usage, network attacks, and DDoS attacks. In the case of a managed server, we then are responsible for the maintenance, software and security of the server, but NOT what is hosted and/or the accounts/users created on the server by the customer. This includes, but not limited to, Abuse Reports resulting in spam, high bandwidth usage, network attacks, and DDoS attacks as a result of the hosted content and/or accounts/users created on the server by the customer. The customer will ALWAYS be notified first about an Abuse Report. Understandably, depending on the severity and reason of the Abuse Report, the customer MUST reply within a timely manner and/or we may act proactive to limit and/or prevent the abuse from continuing. If no reply to an abuse report is received service may be suspended and/or terminated resulting in all data being deleted. Additionally, the customer is responsible to ensure they host data, including game servers, MMORPG like servers, or third party programs/scripts, that does not prove to be an attractant to network attacks or DDoS attacks. DDoS attacks are not the result of our activities but those of the customer's or third parties, we are not responsible. We will do our best to mitigate the attacks but in the case that the attack is large we will have no choice but to null route the server, to isolate the attack and limit the network impact. Once a server is null route there is 100% NO access to the server. This includes altering the IPs allocated to a server because the IPs are bind by the Operating System, the IPs are now considered "dirty". Abuse Reports, DDoS Attacks, and Null Routes are the result of poor or bad customer hosting history, repeated actions like these may result in account and/or service termination without warning, and/or the report of these abuses to the authorities: federal, state, and/or local. Abuse Reports and DDoS Attacks are to be taken seriously.

    Abuse Reports: Spam
    We have a VERY strict policy on spam, one that 100% does NOT tolerate the sending of spam or any similar abuse. We take these types of complaints seriously; therefore, failure to comply within 24 hours will result in the temporary suspension or termination of your account. If we receive additional complaints prior to your response, suspension of your services may occur without warning. The creation of this Abuse Report forfeits your right to a refund, and all payments already made become completely non refundable. Violators may be assessed a minimum of $450.00 fine as a result of Spam Abuse Reports. Customers are responsible to find all IPs that have been blacklisted and contact them to ask that the IP be removed. Some blacklists require the ISP to make direct contact, in which case, please submit a ticket and we will make the request directly. (We recommend multirbl.valli.org to check for black listing.) In some cases you may have to email the blacklist many times over many days, it is your responsibility to complete the delisting. Because this is abuse related, any refund is forfeit and any change in billing date or activation date is not allowed. The time frame in which the blacklist IP was discovered and the request for delisting was submitted has no time constraint or limitation. For example: If the blacklist is discovered after service has been terminated, you are still responsible. If the blacklist is discovered at the start of a new service, you are still responsible, but may forgo the penalties and fines. For each blacklist IP not removed you will be charged an additional $250 fine. To reiterate again, that would be a minimum $450 fine for spamming, which will be sent to collections if not promptly paid. Your information will also be provided to the authorities, blacklists, RBLs, or similar spam or fraud services. International or domestic, it doesn't make a difference, prosecution will be pursued. DO NOT SPAM!

    DDoS Services & Mitigation
    Our DDoS services are 100% automated. The network is monitored 24/7 and once a DDoS attack is "sensed" our DDoS mitigation will automatically try to mitigate the attack. During DDoS mitigation service will remain 100% operational and latency/ping should remain within standards. Depending on the type of attack and severity, network performance may occasionally have "hiccups" and/or experience connectivity or network degradation issues. If the attack is significant enough and/or experiences repeated/frequent significant spiking a null route will automatically be put in place for the affected IP and/or subnet of IPs. Once a null route is in place the network connection is "cut" or "blank" resulting in a loss of connectivity or downtime. When a null route is in place there is 100% no access to the server, nor is any hardware or IP allocation changes allowed. Our DDoS mitigation will then monitor the affected IPs every minute to see if the attack has subsided or ended. If the attacks has subsided or ended the null route will automatically be removed and the service will be 100% operational and accessible again.

    Bulk Orders
    Service orders in excess of 5 are considered bulk orders. Bulk orders must be paid in full at the time the order is placed in order to be accepted. Cancellation of bulk orders, which includes cancellation during build times or process times, is in violation of these Terms of Service, all payments made become completely non refundable. The Customer agrees not to charge back any credit card payments for services rendered. In the event that a customer files a charge back or other payment dispute, they will be considered to be in violation of this agreement and may be subject to collection action.

    Services: Charges and Invoicing
    You will pay all amounts owed under each Service Schedule and all other amounts owed to ONeilOnline by the due date of the invoice. All fees and charges are payable for the duration of the Service Schedule, regardless of whether you actually use any of the Services.

    All Charges are exclusive of taxes and other fees. You are responsible for paying all federal, state, and local sales, use, value added, excise duty and any other taxes or fees assessed with respect to the Charges, other than taxes based on ONeilOnline net income. Your Service comes with a set bandwidth allotment per device per calendar month. If you exceed this allotment, you will be charged overage bandwidth at a rate of $10.00 per gigabyte. Bandwidth is billed in arrears, and you will receive a bill for any overage bandwidth the month following the month that the overage occurred. It is your responsibility to monitor your bandwidth usage and to pay for all overages. If you are a reseller, it is your responsibility to monitor the bandwidth usage of your client(s), and you are solely responsible for any and all overages incurred by them.

    Any shared storage or backup service comes with a set data storage allotment for each calendar month. If this allotment amount is exceeded, ONeilOnline will contact you via email to notify you of the overage. To have your storage allocation increased, no action is required. ONeilOnline will automatically increase your allotted storage 72-hours after the initial notification to accommodate your increased storage needs. The increase will provide up to an additional 10GB of storage capacity beyond your then-current storage amount. If you do not want a storage allocation increase, you must notify ONeilOnline within 72-hours of receiving the notification and reduce your storage usage to a level below your set data storage allotment.

    ONeilOnline will have the right in its sole discretion at any time to substitute certain Services, or the means of delivery of certain Services, provided to you under a Service Schedule with comparable services. From time to time ONeilOnline may remove equipment from service due to age, irreparability, or other factors. Except in the event of an emergency, ONeilOnline will strive to provide you with at least thirty (30) days’ notice before replacing equipment.

    Charges not paid by the due date are subject to an interest rate that is the lower of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate permitted under applicable law, beginning on the first day after the due date until the relevant amounts are fully paid. Services interrupted for non-payment are subject to a $25 suspension fee, per device. All amounts past due, including the suspension fee, must be paid before devices are reinstated. Services canceled for non-payment are subject to a $100 reactivation fee, per device. ONeilOnline does not guarantee the availability of the same device upon reactivation. All amounts past due, including the reactivation fee must be paid before Services are reactivated.

    Hardware: Charges and Invoicing
    Bids, Quotes, Invoices for, but not limited to, hardware, servers, desktops, workstations, laptops, custom servers, custom desktops, either written, verbal or online, contain the following Terms and are agreed upon once work has commenced.

    Terms: The Client hereby Authorizes ONeilOnline to perform the work specified above, agrees that the prices, terms and specifications are satisfactory and agrees to pay ONeilOnline charges as stated on this form. All Hardware requires full payment for work to commence, and a 15% restocking fee will be assessed for any returns.

    Payment
    You will pay all charges for the first month of Services and charges for any setup fees in advance of the first day the Services are provided. You will pay all subsequent charges for Services in their entirety in advance of each renewal date of the Services. No payment grace periods are allowed, unless previously agreed upon well in advance of the due date. If you pay for the Services by credit card, debit card, or third party payment processing, like PayPal, Stripe, 2Checkout, Square, Authorize.net, etc, you authorize ONeilOnline to charge your credit card, debit card or third party to pay for any charges that may apply to your account. You will immediately notify ONeilOnline of any changes to your credit card account, debit card account, or third party information (including changes to your account number, your billing address, cancellation of your account, expiration of your account, or any information that may prohibit ONeilOnline from properly charging your account). Any third party payment processing, like a PayPal, Stripe, 2Checkout, Square, or Authorize.net account, is the end user's responsibility. ONeilOnline does NOT have any automated payment system. If a subscription payment is made made through third party payment processing it is the responsibility of the end user to maintain to ensure proper payment.

    ONeilOnline manages account information, project management, project tasks, credits, payments and invoicing with WHM Complete Solution (WHMCS). WHMCS is the name of the billing program system that is hosted on our network. At any time a client may login to their account and view the status of their account. Clients may also make payments towards any open invoice at any time via WHMCS. Clients are also allowed to add money to their account, for credit, via WHMCS. Third party vendors like PayPal, Stripe, 2Checkout, Square, Authorize.net, maintain credit card information for the processing of payments. In order to submit payments, the creation of an account with these vendors is optional, it is not required. In order to submit a subscription payment, the creation of an account is needed. The third party account created has no association and/or relationship with ONeilOnline, nor do we have any responsibility for the maintenance of this third party account. In order for subscription payments to work correctly, the account created with PayPal, Stripe, 2Checkout, Square, Authorize.net, must contain identical information, if it is not, payments will not be completed. Oneilonline is not responsible for incomplete payments as a result of issues or errors from incorrect matching information between the third party payment vendor and WHMCS. In the case of account termination, ONeilOnline is also not responsible for the termination for your account with the third party payment vendor.

    Hosting Services Invoices are automatically sent out using WHMCS. If a payment is not received within 24 hours the account is suspended and any applicable late fees will be applied. If payment is not received within 3 days the account is terminated and all data is deleted. If you have not received any email notices please make sure all email from ONeilOnline is added to your whitelist so it is allowed for delivery. Often free email addresses like hotmail, yahoo or gmail, etc. have system wide spam filters, and because the WHMCS email is an automated email it is occasionally blocked by these automated spam filters. If you do use a free email service, we strongly recommend that once your hosting package has been created with us, to change your main account email address to the one hosted with us in order to ensure the prompt delivery of email. We are not responsible for the management of your email and/or spam filters.

    Hosting Services Invoices that are paid with Mail in Payment are subject to the same TOS. If a payment is not received within 24 hours the account is suspended. If payment is not received within 3 days the account is terminated and all data is deleted. Please ensure checks are mailed on time to ensure continuity of Service.
