4. Domain Name Registration

SiteBuilder.Live acts as a domain name reseller. When you initiate a domain name registration request, the request is forwarded to ResellerClub (www.Resellerclub.com). By utilizing our Domain Name Services, you are bound by eNom's domain name registration policies and procedures, which we strongly recommend reading. You can find these policies and procedures at: Resellerclub.com/terms. Due to the intricacies of domain name registration, we cannot guarantee the successful registration of your chosen domain name.

After registration, it is your responsibility to prevent your domain name from lapsing and to ensure timely renewal. We hold no liability for any lapses or damages arising from them. Our endeavors to automatically renew domain names will be undertaken with commercially reasonable efforts. HOWEVER, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE RENEWAL, AND WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR FAILED RENEWALS, AUTO RENEWALS, DOMAIN EXPIRATIONS, OR THE REGISTRATION OF EXPIRED DOMAINS BY THIRD PARTIES.

1. It is solely your responsibility to thoroughly investigate and confirm that the domain name you register does not infringe upon the legal or intellectual property rights of others. We do not verify whether a registered or utilized domain name infringes upon any third-party rights. We advise you to seek legal counsel prior to registering any domain.
2. SiteBuilder.Live will exert commercially reasonable efforts to comply with legal orders related to the cancellation, modification, or transfer of your domain name. According to ICANN's Transfer Policy, a 60-day transfer lock applies to your domain name(s) in the event of a "Change of Registrant." Currently, your domain name is locked for any change in your WhoIs information. This measure aims to safeguard your domain from unauthorized transfer attempts. This 60-day transfer lock cannot be waived. Any "Change of Registrant" as defined by ICANN's Transfer Policy will subject the domain to the 60-day transfer lock. The parameters triggering this lock are subject to change. The current parameters include: (A) change of registrant First Name, (B) change of registrant Last Name, (C) change of registrant Organization Name, (D) change of registrant Email. Additionally, you acknowledge and comprehend ICANN's Domain Verification policies and any other existing or future policies enacted by them.

2. Technical Support Tickets. This is our primary support system. Almost ALL issues will require the submission of a trouble ticket.  This is our preferred method because of the ability to track issues to resolution and give us time to properly review and research problems.

4. Phone. In the unlikely event that you experience a service interruption, we ask that you immediately call our support team and report the issue. Our support staff will work with you to resolve the issue. We understand that your time is valuable and we do our best to avoid any live troubleshooting of issues. Our staff will gather as much detail from you during your call and open a ticket on your behalf. We would be more than happy to call you back if you provide a call back number or we will attempt to use the phone number associated with your account if no call back number is provided.

4.  Customer Relationships

We strive to provide you with courteous, professional, and technically accurate support. Although we understand how frustrating technical problems can be, we ask that you treat us with respect and we will do the same in return. Our ultimate goals are the same, providing you with accurate support in a timely manner. If you feel you have been treated unfairly or have any other complaints, you may contact us to reach a supervisor directly.

Refund & Billing Policy

1. Purpose

This document outlines Sitebuilder.Live, Inc.'s ("Sitebuilder.Live", "we", or "our") Refund & Billing Policy. The policy provides information on how we assess charges for our Services (as defined in the TOS) and addresses queries related to charges, refunds, and billing disputes. For definitions of capitalized terms not defined here, please refer to our TOS, available at: https://www.Sitebuilder.Live.com/policies/#Terms-Of-Service.2. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL  

a. Package Renewal

As outlined in our Policies, all hosting plans and domain names are configured for automatic renewal upon their respective renewal dates following the initial term and any subsequent renewal terms. The initial renewal date will be visible on the checkout screen at the time of your initial service purchase. For subsequent renewal dates, you can find this information on every invoice sent by Sitebuilder.Live, as well as in the Services and Domains sections of the client portal.

Before each renewal, you will receive an invoice for the upcoming renewal term at the email address associated with your account. This invoice will detail the duration and cost of the renewal. If you wish to cancel the automatic renewal, you can follow the process outlined in Section 8(b)(i) of our Terms of Service, available at: https://www.Sitebuilder.Live.com/policies/#Terms-Of-Service

b. Domain Name Renewal

Domain names are set to automatically renew five (5) days before their expiration date to prevent any service interruptions. This precaution ensures that URLs will continue to redirect to a landing page even if a domain expires.

Please be aware that for all payment methods allowing automatic charges, payment will be processed five (5) days before the domain's expiration date according to the invoice, UNLESS you cancel the renewal more than two (2) days prior to the renewal date. This means you have until seven (7) days before the extension of the domain name service becomes effective to cancel the automatic renewal. For payment methods that don't support automatic payments, manual payment must be made on or before the invoice due date; otherwise, the domain name may lapse.

c. Charges

Fees for renewed packages are due on the package renewal date.

d. Failure to Renew

Accounts with invoices that remain overdue for more than fourteen (14) days will be suspended. If an account is suspended, it can be reactivated by settling all overdue invoices to bring the account up to date before the suspension is lifted. In cases where invoices are more than two months overdue, the account is considered abandoned and is subject to termination.

3. Responsibility for Payment

a. Responsibility for Fees and Payment Schedule

You are accountable for all charges, costs, expenses, and other fees (collectively referred to as "Fees") linked to your utilization of our Services once they are made available to you. Your first invoice is generated upon purchasing our Services. An invoice for the upcoming Renewal Term, including its duration and price, is produced three (3) days before the commencement of the Renewal Term (referred to as the "Due Date"), unless alternative arrangements have been established or a cancellation request has been submitted via the client portal. This invoice can also be accessed in the "My Invoices" section of the Client Portal.

You are responsible for the Fees and charges outlined in the emailed invoice due on the Effective Date, as well as any other invoices generated for Renewal Terms. For payments made via credit card, PayPal Billing Agreement, or other methods capable of automatic charges, the payment will be processed on the Due Date. New Services, packages, or domains ordered and left unpaid after seven (7) days will be subject to cancellation.

If a customer fails to remit payment for provided Services, Sitebuilder.Live reserves the right to assign unpaid overdue balances to a collection agency for appropriate action. By agreeing to this policy, you commit to reimbursing Sitebuilder.Live for all expenses incurred in recovering outstanding sums, including attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, if legal action becomes necessary to retrieve payment for outstanding balances.

b. Unpaid Balances and Collection

Should a customer fail to settle outstanding balances for the Services received, Sitebuilder.Live has the prerogative to assign unpaid overdue balances to a collection agency for the appropriate course of action. You further commit to reimbursing Sitebuilder.Live for any costs incurred during the process of collecting outstanding sums, including attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, should legal action become necessary to secure payment for outstanding balances.

c. Price Adjustments

In our pursuit of staying competitive, we occasionally make changes to our plans and pricing. If you wish to have your plan updated to the current offerings, please reach out to our billing team. While we are unable to retroactively modify invoices that have already been settled, we are more than willing to modify your plan for subsequent invoices.

i. Occasionally, we may make changes to our plans and pricing due to reasons such as fluctuations in non-US Dollar denominated currencies, as specified in Section 7(b) below. However, except for currency fluctuations detailed in Section 7(b) below, no price changes will take effect without your consent during an ongoing initial term or any Renewal Term. Price adjustments may occur between Renewal Terms. Any price changes will be reflected in the invoice sent to you via email.

ii. These charges, which might encompass adjusted prices, will be applied on the Due Date, as previously mentioned. To prevent payment of the adjusted price for the forthcoming Renewal Term, you must cancel your subscription.

iii. If you wish, you can opt to switch plans during an ongoing term or Renewal Term. Although we cannot retroactively modify invoices that have already been paid, we can adjust your plan and pricing for new invoices that have not yet been paid for any Renewal Term.

d. Cancellation or Consent to Mid-Term Price Changes

If a substantial alteration in our business operations or our supplier's prices or services necessitates an adjustment to our Services offering to you during the initial or Renewal Term, we will provide you with a notice specifying the proposed changes in reasonable detail. In the event of such significant changes to the Services, including but not limited to adjustments in the duration of the ongoing term, the scope or nature of the Services provided, or the associated price, you will have a thirty (30) day period from the date of the notice to either: (i) provide your consent to the change(s) and accept the revised terms for the Services effective from the date of your consent, or (ii) allow the Services to be terminated upon the expiration of the thirty (30) day period. Failure to consent to the changes and accept the modified terms within the thirty (30) day timeframe will indicate your acknowledgment and acceptance that Sitebuilder.Live reserves the right to terminate the Services prior to the conclusion of the ongoing term, without requiring further notice or consent.

4. Money Back Guarantee 

30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee for Hosting Services

Certain Hosting Services come with an unconditional thirty (30) day satisfaction guarantee. To initiate the cancellation of your Hosting Services and receive a refund of the fees paid, you are required to contact us through the Client Portal within thirty (30) days from the Effective Date. Upon your cancellation request, a refund will be issued to you.

 Pro-Rata Refund for Cancellations within 31-90 Days

If you choose to cancel your Hosting Services between thirty-one (31) and ninety (90) days from the Effective Date, you will be eligible for a pro-rata refund of the fees for the Hosting Services. This refund will be based on the unused portion of the Hosting Services remaining on your current subscription.

Cancellations after 90 Days

For cancellations requested after ninety (90) days from the Effective Date, no refunds will be applicable. Any refunds granted beyond this point are solely at our discretion.

Refund Requests after 120 Days

Refund requests received after one hundred twenty (120) days from the Effective Date will be issued via PayPal. It's important to note that refunds are not provided for partial months of service. Accounts that are terminated due to violations of our Policies are not eligible for a refund.

Exclusions from Money Back Guarantee

1. All third-party fees, including domain registration fees, setup fees, and migration fees, are non-refundable and non-negotiable. They are excluded from our Money Back Guarantee. Additionally, SSL certificates have a refund window of Twenty-Five (25) days from the time of purchase. 
2. For Managed WordPress plans that include a complimentary SSL certificate, refund requests falling outside the Twenty-Five (25) day SSL refund window but still within the Money Back Guarantee window will have $5.00 withheld from any Money Back Guarantee refund. 
3. For promotions offering free domain registration for domains such as .com, .net, and .org, a deduction of $14.95 will be made from any refund amount upon cancellation. It's important to note that you will retain ownership of the domain registration.

5. Refunds

Accounts that are terminated due to violations of the Terms of Service are not eligible for a refund or any service credits. Additionally, domain registrations, setup fees, and migration fees are non-refundable. Service credits hold no cash value and are granted at our discretion. These service credits expire either upon the termination or expiration of your account, or twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance, whichever comes first.

a. Refund Processing and Third-Party Payment Processors

All refunds are subject to the terms of service set by any third-party payment processors. In cases where the terms of the third-party payment processor differ from those outlined in our TOS and Policies, the payment processor's terms take precedence. If we encounter difficulties in refunding fees or charges through the original method of payment, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to return or credit the appropriate funds to you.

b. Refund Method for Different Payment Modes

If you made your payment using a credit card, the refund will be credited back to the card on file. For payments made through PayPal, we will initiate steps to refund the corresponding PayPal account. In cases where you utilized another payment processor, we will undertake steps to refund the appropriate fees through that specific payment processor. Please be aware that if the information we have on record for your account is not current, your refund may not be successfully processed.

Refund requests for payments made to Sitebuilder.Live through bank transfer, check, money order, or credit card payments more than one hundred twenty (120) days ago will be issued exclusively via PayPal. If you are unable to accept PayPal payments, you will not be eligible for a refund via alternative methods. It's important to note that Sitebuilder.Live holds no responsibility for any fees deducted from refunds processed by PayPal.

6. Service Credit Eligibility

a. Exclusion of Service Credits for Unpaid Invoices

Customers who are not up-to-date on their invoice payments for the Services at the time of reporting a claimed outage are not eligible to receive service credits in relation to any outages.

b. Ineligibility for Service Credits Based on Payment History

Customers who have failed to make timely invoice payments on more than three occasions within the 12 months preceding the reported outage are not qualified to receive service credits.

c. Limitations and Automated Systems

In order to provide a secure and high-performance hosting environment, we employ automated systems designed to mitigate malicious and resource-intensive activities. There are instances where non-malicious activities might trigger our systems, causing your legitimate usage to be flagged as malicious. This can potentially result in limitations imposed on your ability to use our Services, such as bandwidth throttling, suspension, or termination of your account. It's important to note that any interruption, suspension, or change in the availability of the Services arising from such system-triggered actions will not be classified as downtime and will not be eligible for service credits. This decision is made at our sole discretion.

7. Payment Methods; Currencies

a. Payment Methods

We offer various payment methods to accommodate your preferences. You can pay using Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, JCB, Diner's Club, PayPal, Skrill, PayULatam (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru), UnionPay (for China-based customers), check, money order, and wire transfers. By providing us with your payment information, you are granting us the authorization to charge your account on the Due Date of any invoices linked to the account. Wire transfer banking information can be found on our invoice. A fee of twenty-five dollars ($25) will be applied for each returned check.

b. Currency and Exchange Rates

We accept payments in US Dollars as well as select non-USD currencies, as listed on our website. All Service fees are calculated in US Dollars. We strive to charge you in the currency you selected upon checkout, but if the payment gateway doesn't support that currency, it will be converted to USD and charged accordingly. Displayed prices in non-USD currencies are based on exchange rates for that day and may differ from the final rate provided by your bank. Please note that exchange rates are subject to change, potentially resulting in increases or decreases in non-US Dollar denominated prices for the Services. When renewing, we adjust prices for non-USD customers based on current Services prices, using exchange rates posted on the day invoices are generated. Depending on your billing cycle, we may choose not to adjust renewal prices for all invoices, but this does not waive our right to adjust renewal prices for future invoices. Additionally, you might encounter extra fees or charges from the administrator of your chosen payment method. Please be aware that Sitebuilder.Live is not liable for these additional charges.

8. Charges for Account Upgrades, Downgrades and Migrations

a. Data Migration Authorization

For any data migration to occur, you grant Sitebuilder.Live permission to access your data for the purpose of data migration. Prior to requesting Services that involve data migration, you agree to create backups of your data on both the source and target servers, as appropriate.

b. Upgrades

When upgrading to a higher-priced hosting plan, we will perform the account migration to the new Service without any charge. If you choose to move to a new data center during the upgrade process, the data center migration fee will also be waived. Upgrade requests are processed and effective only after payment is made for the price difference between the packages. Moving to another data center without upgrading your account incurs a migration fee of twenty-five dollars ($25).

c. Downgrades

When downgrading to a lower-priced plan, the difference between the amount you have already paid for the current package and the new package's price will be applied as a service credit to your billing account. Refunds will not be issued in this case, and a downgraded migration fee of twenty-five dollars ($25) may be charged. If you are considering an upgrade or downgrade, it's recommended to reach out to our sales or billing department to discuss suitable options and pricing.

d. Migrations from Other Hosts

Migrations from other hosts are considered a Service under our Policies. Complementary migrations require you to provide cPanel account credentials for your previous hosting environment. Migrations from non-cPanel hosting environments may incur a fee determined by our migration team based on the complexity of the migration.

- Startup, Drive, Turbo Boost, and Turbo Max clients receive one complimentary migration. If your previous host doesn't provide cPanel access, a migration fee may apply.

- Reseller Hosting, Dedicated Hosting, and Managed VPS clients receive twenty-five complimentary cPanel account migrations. Migrations related to SITEBUILDER.LIVE's Shared Web Hosting or Reseller Hosting Services are limited to thirty gigabytes in size. Migrations exceeding this limit may be approved on a case-by-case basis at SITEBUILDER.LIVE's sole discretion. If your previous host doesn't provide cPanel access or you need more than twenty-five migrations, a migration fee may be assessed.

e. Other Migration Situations

In specific migration cases, we may accommodate your unique needs, depending on our migration workload. In such situations, you might incur a charge determined by our migration team based on the complexity of the migration and your specific requirements.

9. Billing Errors; Chargebacks

a. Invoice Errors and Refunds

If you identify an error on your invoice, please inform us promptly by either calling our Billing Department or submitting a ticket through our Client Portal at https://my.Sitebuilder.Live.com/. We will rectify invoice errors if notified within ninety (90) days. Requests made after this period may not be honored. If a refund is appropriate, it will be credited to your account as a service credit, which can be applied to future invoices. Please note that service credits have no cash value.

b. Charge Inquiries

If you have questions or concerns about a charge from Sitebuilder.Live, you can submit a support ticket through our Client Portal at https://my.Sitebuilder.Live.com. Any chargebacks received will incur a fifty-dollar ($50) investigation fee on the associated billing account, and all services will be immediately suspended pending investigation. Accounts that have experienced a chargeback may also have their future use of payment methods restricted. The account related to the payment may be suspended or terminated upon receipt of a chargeback or payment reversal.

10. Feedback

While you are not obligated to provide us with any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, or other feedback regarding our products and services, if you do offer Feedback, we reserve the right to use and incorporate it into our products and services without any restrictions or payment obligations.
