Jet Black Design (“The Company”) agrees to furnish services to the Subscriber, subject to the following TOS (Terms of Service).

Payments and Fees: Service will be interrupted on accounts that reach 5 days past due. Accounts that are not collectible by Jet Black Design may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection. If your account is turned over for collection, you agree to pay the company a “Processing and Collection” Fee of not less than $50 nor more than $150. If you desire to cancel your account, please follow the proper procedure to do this as outlined in this TOS. If a canceled account is reinstated and requires a restore from backups, a $25 fee may apply. Any credit card chargebacks placed on payments made to Jet Black Design will incur a $25.00 penalty.

Failure to Pay: The Company may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement upon the failure of Subscriber to pay charges when due. Such termination or denial will not relieve Subscriber of responsibility for the payment of all accrued charges, plus reasonable interest and any collection fees.

Legal Threats & Professional Behavior: Please behave in a reasonable manner towards Jet Black Design employees. Any unreasonable threats, either personal or against the company will receive a warning for breach of these conditions. Personal abuse towards Jet Black Design employees or legal threats against the company are viewed as extremely serious. Jet Black Design reserves the right to refuse to do business with a person or company as a result and possibly terminate any accounts in question.

Account Transfers: Our team will make every effort to help you move your site to us. However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and we can not make guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete an account transfer. Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult if not impossible to migrate some or all account data. We will try our best but in some cases, we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host. Generally we will only provide the free transfer of all site files and databases. Transfer of email accounts, or re-configuration of PHP/ASP .NET applications on our servers are done at an extra cost or left to the user. Free account transfers are provided on a best-effort basis. There are absolutely no guarantees/warranties implied or stated in regards to the integrity of transfers performed by the Jet Black Design staff.

The free transfer services are available for 60 days from your sign up date. Transfers outside of the free period will incur a charge; please contact a member of the sales department with specific details to receive a price quote.

Free Domain Registration/Transfers: Jet Black Design offers free domain registration or transfer as a courtesy to our customers. Domains registered through this policy are the property of Jet Black Design. However, as long as the free domain has not expired, and the hosting account it is associated with has had all outstanding payments paid for, the customer has the right to transfer the domain name away to their choice of provider. Jet Black Design guarantees this right.

Account Cancellation: All requests for canceling accounts must be made in writing on the day of the cancellation through e-mail sent to sales or support. The email can be found on our site at https://jetblackdesign.com.

Subscriber acknowledges that the service provided is of such a nature that service can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of the company and that damages resulting from any interruption of service are difficult to ascertain. Therefore, subscriber agrees that the company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such causes beyond the direct and exclusive control of the company. Subscriber further acknowledges that the company’s liability for its own negligence may not in any event exceed an amount equivalent to charges payable by subscriber for services during the period damages occurred. In no event shall the company be liable for any special or consequential damages, loss or injury.

Money Back Guarantee: 60 Day money back guarantee will only be offered. Refunds will not be given to accounts that have been canceled or suspended due to abuse of our services based on our terms of service and acceptable use policy. Money back due to lower than 99.9% of up time will be provided on all packages except for domain names. Amount due back is calculated by taking the percentage of downtime over .1% divided by 99.9% multiplied by the amount paid for services that month. No refunds will be given on domain names, SSL certificates, dedicated servers and marketing accounts (mailer accounts). Refunds will only be given when the refund request is received within 60 days of the creation of the account being cancelled. Money back guarantee only applies to new accounts and does not apply to account upgrades.
