Terms of Service Policy

The company ManageMyBox refers to all accounts under the ManageMyBox name. If service was ordered specifically from managemybox.com this agreement applies to customer. This document is designed to provide specific information about service and terms accepted on service sign-up. This agreement is displayed on customer order and sign-up pages and requires customer to show their acceptance by a tick box on the form, if customer does not agree they should not continue with the order.

ACCEPTANCE OF AGREED TERMS

Use of service constitutes acceptance and agreement to ManageMyBox Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy, Guarantees Policy and Management Policy. Once above mentioned documents have been agreed to ManageMyBox agrees to furnish services to client.

This Service Agreement governs customer's purchase and use, in any manner, of all services, including Dedicated and Managed Hosting, as described in the Order Form, ordered by customer and accepted by ManageMyBox and describes the terms and conditions that apply to such purchase and use of the Services. ManageMyBox reserves the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Addendum and any policy or guideline incorporated by reference at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, and to determine whether and when any such changes apply to both existing or future customers. Any modification will be effective upon posting of the revisions on our site. 

ManageMyBox may post changes or modifications to referenced policies and guidelines without notice to you. Your continued use of the Services following ManageMyBox posting of any changes or modifications will constitute your acceptance of such changes or modifications. IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF ANY MODIFICATION, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE SERVICES AND IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY MANAGEMYBOX OF YOUR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED BELOW.

SERVICE RATES

Client agrees that they are bound by the service term specified on account order form as well as the rates specified on order forms. Charges will be made immediately after order form is submitted and then service will be made available within 48 hours after payment has been verified.

This Agreement shall be for an "Initial Term" of thirty (30) days for all services -- including Dedicated and Managed Hosting. Customer agrees to all terms and conditions of services provided by ManageMyBox, beginning upon receipt by fax, e-mail, or express mail.

PAYMENT

Client agrees to pay for all services rendered in advance of each monthly term.

Initial payment is due upon activation of account. Activation takes effect on the date of receipt of payment, and will be renewed automatically for identical successive periods. Any changes made to the customer's package shall be billed accordingly.

Upon registration for Dedicated and Managed hosting, customer must choose to pay for the Services by PayPal. If customer chooses to pay by PayPal upon registering for Dedicated Hosting services, customer thereby authorizes PayPal to charge your account automatically to pay for any charges that may apply to your account. Customer must notify ManageMyBox of any changes to your PayPal account (including, without limitation, applicable account number or cancellation or expiration of the account), your billing address, or any information that may prohibit PayPal from charging your account and thus prohibit customer from paying for ManageMyBox services.

Customer understands that payments are made via PayPal.com which is an external service and ManageMyBox does not hold any customer card details on its own systems, therefore any billing errors are likely the fault of PayPal.com and not ManageMyBox, therefore customer should contact PayPal.com customer services if a dispute is to be resolved.

ManageMyBox may also send periodic invoices to customer for any applicable Supplemental Charges associated with your use of the Services. Customer agrees to pay to ManageMyBox the amount indicated in each invoice by the due date reflected on the invoice, normally this is expected within twenty-four (24) hours.

If customer fails to pay any service fees and taxes within three (3) days from applicable due date for monthly or one-time invoice payments, a late payment fee of $10.00 become payable by you to ManageMyBox. In addition, customer's failure to fully pay all  fees and taxes within five (5) days after the applicable due date will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, justifying ManageMyBox suspension of its performance of the Services and/or termination of this Agreement. Customer is responsible for any fees associated with reinstatement of Services. Any such termination would not relieve customer from paying past due fees plus interest. In the event of collection enforcement, customer will be liable for any costs associated with such collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and collection agency fees.

ManageMyBox reserves the right to suspend the customer's account and services without notice should there be any problems with the customers method of payment. This includes expired credit cards, declined credit cards, inactive credit cards, PayPal problems and invalid checks.

AGREEMENT RENEWAL

This Agreement will be automatically renewed (the "Renewal Term") at the end of the Initial Term for the same period as the Initial Term unless you provide ManageMyBox with notice of termination either (a) at least five (5) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable.

REFUNDS AND FEES

All charges for Services (including installation and professional support fees) are non-refundable and must be paid in advance according to the then current price applicable to the Services.

ACCOUNT CANCELLATION

An account cancellation request form is available in our Customer Control Center under the ManageMyBox section and this is where all cancellation requests MUST be submitted. Cancellation requests will be handled within 24 hours and service will be terminated at the end of the current payment term. On cancellation customer agrees that this is final and once server is shut down all data will be wiped for security and privacy reasons.

IMPORTANT: A Cancellation request MUST be made AT LEAST five (5) days before the next renew date or else service WILL NOT be cancelled until the following month. Should customer not complete this process on time and customer is billed for another month, no refund will be given.

TAXES

ManageMyBox shall not be liable for any taxes or other fees to be paid in accordance with or related to purchases made from the customer or ManageMyBox servers. Customer also agrees to take full responsibility for all taxes and fees of any nature associated with any such products or services sold.

BANDWIDTH MONITORING & NETWORK USAGE

Bandwidth utilization will be monitored via MRTG and calculated by the following method: Monthly Avg. In + Monthly Avg. Out / 8 Bits x 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours x 30.5 days = Total Data Transfer (GB). Bandwidth graphs are made available via Customer Control Center with a calculator to track current usage for the month. It is customers responsibility to monitor bandwidth usage and if customer goes over allocated service quota a fee of $0.50 per 1GB over standard allocation will be applicable.

Each port is set at 100Mbps as standard.

Because bandwidth is a shared resource, excessive consumption of network bandwidth can interfere with or completely prevent normal network performance for other servers. Persistent, high-volume use of bandwidth-intensive tools and applications can and does prevent other users from being able to access the network. In the event of customer service impacting another customers service ManageMyBox may cap port temporarily at 10Mbps or disable access until an acceptable resolution is reached between Customer and ManageMyBox.

In accordance with ARIN guidelines, each server is allocated with 3 IP addresses as standard with no exceptions. You may request to obtain the remaining 7 ips to be part of your IP space as long as valid justification per ARIN regulations is supported. Same terms and conditions apply for the request of 10 additional IP's at the cost of $10.00 per month. Each server is allowed 20 IP's maximum. IP Addresses may be requested via Customer Control Center where customer will be required to submit justification form before IP addresses are assigned.

CHARGEBACKS

Chargebacks will result in the immediate deletion of any and all accounts held by the credit card holder issuing the chargeback. There is a $25 administrative fee for any illegitimate chargebacks placed against us. Any illegitimate chargebacks or threatened illegitimate chargebacks are grounds for immediate account cancellation.

NATURE OF SERVICE PROVISION

While ManageMyBox will do our best to keep downtime to a very minimum and stick to our guarantees, in the changing world of technology many things can happen and therefore ManageMyBox cannot be held responsible for any downtime or service outage and therefore cannot be held responsible for any damages incurred by the customer. While we do issue service credits for downtime as decided on a case by case basis by ManageMyBox this is as far as our responsibility for any downtime goes and no credit will go beyond customers monthly fee for service. In no event shall the company be liable for any special or consequential damages, loss or injury.

AGREEMENT BY THIRD PARTIES

If customer is reselling this service to a third party, Customer must ensure that third party has also agreed to a copy of our Terms and Conditions and Acceptable Use Policies and ManageMyBox recommend that Customer creates their own stricter version since Customer is responsible for all actions made by the third party while using ManageMyBox services.

ACCOUNT OWNERSHIP

The Customer who is paying for service owns it. Therefore, if a change is needed the Customer must authorise it and ManageMyBox will not respond to anybody but the Customer. If a third party requests, for instance, a password change or a server reboot, it will be refused until authorisation is obtained from Customer.

IMDEMNIFICATION

ManageMyBox wishes to emphasize that in agreeing to the ManageMyBox Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and Terms of Service (ToS), customer indemnifies ManageMyBox for any violation of the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and Terms of Service (ToS) that results in loss to ManageMyBox or the bringing of any claim against ManageMyBox by any third-party. This means that if ManageMyBox is sued because of a customer's or a customer of a customer's activity, the customer will pay any damages awarded against ManageMyBox, plus all costs and attorney's fees.

SERVICE ACCEPTANCE

All orders are subject to acceptance by ManageMyBox. An order will be deemed accepted by our company when service activation details are sent to the customer. We may refuse to accept any order, or delay acceptance awaiting completion of conditions the company may choose to exercise. Such refusal of such conditions may not be unreasonable, however, and ManageMyBox agrees to provide the customer with reasonable notice by E-mail or fax of any intent to delay or decline the acceptance of any order.

SUPPORT

ManageMyBox will provide 24/7 Support and maintain our service guarantees except during US and UK public holidays where we have less staff available for support. We provide best-efforts support on all issues, however, should any problems occur, ManageMyBox are not responsible for any damages, data corruption or removal of your files or services.

The exclusive remedy against Company for any damages whatsoever to Customer arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be the refund of the fees paid by Customer to Company with respect to the then current term of this Agreement.
