Refund requests after 30 days will be refunded on a prorated basis of any unused time. Payment made for domain registration and dedicated servers will not be refunded, domain name can be transferred to client.
Accounts cancelled/terminated by HostV.com do not qualify
for the 30 day money back guarantee. This also includes accounts
suspended for TOS violations, in which the customer decides not to
fix the violation. Only first-time accounts
are eligible for a refund. For example, if you've had an account
with us before, cancelled and signed up again, you will not be
eligible for a refund or if you have opened a second account with
us.
7.) Bandwidth Usage
You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance
varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your
account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend
the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the
account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee,
suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package,
terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for
the overages. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over
to the next month.

asserted against HostV.com, its agents, its customers, officers
and employees, that may arise or result from any service provided
or performed or agreed to be performed or any product sold by

10.) Uptime Guarantee
HostV strives to maintain a 99.9% network and server uptime service level. This uptime percentage is a monthly figure, and is calculated solely by HostV monitoring systems or HostV authorized/contracted outside monitoring services. If HostV fails to meet it's 99.9% uptime guarantee, and it is not due to one of the exceptions below, credits will be made available to each client, upon request, on a case by case basis. HostV does not credit a full month's service for minor downtime. This would not be financially healthy for HostV, and in turn would only negatively affect the service level HostV provides to you. "Partial refunds for partial downtime" is our standard policy. In extreme circumstances, HostV may distribute full month credits, but this is dealt with on a case by case basis. Credits are issued for one months service only, never more.
Exceptions:
Customer shall not receive any credits under this SLA in connection with any failure or deficiency of the HostV network caused by or associated with:
- Circumstances beyond reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, embargo, "Acts of God" (ie...fire, flood, earthquake, tornado, etc...), strike or other labor disturbance, interruption of or delay in transportation, unavailability of or interruption or delay in telecommunications or third party services, failure of third party software or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for provision of the Service Level Agreement
- Telco Failure (ie...Verizon™ cutting a fiber line somewhere)
- Backbone peering point issues (ie...UUnet™ having a router go down in Virginia that wipes out internet service for the entire East Coast)
- Scheduled maintenance for hardware/software upgrades
- Hardware failure (faulty hardware is rare, but cannot be predicted nor avoided). HostV utilizes only name brand hardware of the highest quality and performance.
- Software bugs/flaws (Expolits and bugs may develop that cause security issues or downtime)
- DNS issues not within the direct control of HostV
- Network floods, hacks, attacks from outside parties or individuals
- Failure or error of any HostV monitoring or measurement system
- Client's acts or omissions, including without limitation, any negligence, willful misconduct, or use of HostV service(s) in breach of HostV Policy and Service Guidelines (AUP), by Client or others authorized by Client.
