Technical Support Responsibilities
TechVita does not provide free development or programming nor a free website and site-content maintenance for clients. Customers who do not have a webmaster should make an enquiry about TechVita Website Management Services.
Rule of Thumb for Shared Hosting
Should there be any Website issues and if the Customer can resolve them/resume functionality of their Website using cPanel/FTP access then the Customer MUST perform this Action using cPanel/FTP access.
Alternatively, if the Customer cannot or will not perform the Action using cPanel/FTP then TechVita will offer them the following options should we be contacted:
TechVita does not perform any hourly work on a Client Account without express confirmation and authorized payment from the Customer.
Suspension, Cancellation and Termination
TechVita strives to keep our Customer’s Accounts and Servers online 100% of the time. However, should we need to and we deem it necessary - we will Suspend, Cancel or Terminate Accounts for contravening any of our Policies.
Levels of Activity are defined as follows;
Suspension
Temporary limiting an Account, Email or Website. A suspension is a temporary disruption of a Customer’s Service(s), where we expect the Service(s) to be reactivated at some point soon after.
We may suspend a Customer Account at any time for any reason below:
If a Customer is suspended, we will make every effort to contact the Customer and to facilitate the site’s recovery within legal means.
For certain issues, Suspensions are automatic and made by automatic systems. If you are Suspended, you must contact TechVita immediately to resolve the source of Suspension.
Cancellation
Stops Billing and Services for some or all Products/Services of an Account.
A cancellation of an Account occurs when a Customer desires to end all or part of their business with TechVita. When a Customer initiates a Cancellation, they can choose to do so immediately (usually actioned in real-time within 24 hours) or they can select a date to Cancel prior to their next Billing Cycle.
Please be advised that when a Cancellation is initiated, the Account is automatically Terminated at the time the Customer selects, and the data will be deleted simultaneously at that time.
A Customer requested Cancellation supersedes TechVita’s regular wait time of 30 days to delete data and the Account may be immediately Terminated with ALL DATA deleted.
If a Customer Cancels within 30 days of joining TechVita on their first sale, there is a 100% refund of Hosting Service fees, minus any Domain Name fees.
The following Services are not included under this Policy should any of the following incur a charge:
30 Day Risk Free Refunds MAY ONLY be available on Monthly Subscription Hosting Packages unless agreed otherwise before with us.
A Customer may be cancelled for any of the following reasons:
Termination
Deletion and removal of ALL DATA, including Customer Data.
A termination is a Final Cancellation of an Account, with ALL Customer Data due deletion from the Server. TechVita may Terminate an Account if it suspects or can validate any of the following:
Refund Processing
It is a Customers’ Responsibility to remove any and all data from TechVita servers PRIOR to requesting a Refund. Once a Refund is requested the Account may be immediately Terminated, without Confirmation. A Refund requested Cancellation supersedes TechVita’s regular wait time of 30 Days to delete data and the Account MAY be immediately Terminated along with ALL DATA.
Billing
TechVita requires payment in advance for most Hosting Services. As such, Customers are Responsible to ensure timely payment in advance of Service Dates to ensure continuity of Services. Failure to pay your Bill will result in Suspension, Cancellation and ultimately Termination.
Arrears and Missed or Late Payments
TechVita reserves the Tight to charge Late Fees for any missed Payments.
If a Customer has had multiple late Payments, TechVita may Require a Deposit for future Business equal to One Year of Service for the Subscribed Plan. This Deposit will be released and credited to the Customer Account after One Year of Timely Payments. Failure to Maintain Timely Payments will reset the clock of the Deposit, and will incur Late Fees. The Deposit will not be Refunded unless the Customer can Demonstrate One Year of Timely Payments. Once the One Year Probation period expires, the Customer will receive the Deposit back as a Credit for future Hosting (basically getting One Year free if the Service levels are the same.) This will not be Refunded as Cash or Credit to the Customer and may only be used with TechVita Web Hosting.
TechVita Reserves the Right to Charge a Reconnection Fee for any Websites that have been Cancelled due to Late or Missed Payments.
Refusal of Service
We reserve the Right to Refuse any new Accounts at our Sole Discretion. We also Reserve the Right to Refuse Service to any existing Customers if they have violated our ToS multiple times.
