The Service

FastWebEngine LLC, herein referred to as "FastWebEngine", provides a variety of paid services including web hosting, email hosting, web design, website maintenance, and domain registration. Within these Terms of Service ("TOS") these services will be referred to as the "Service" or "Services". FastWebEngine LLC reserves the right to update these Terms of Service at any time without notice.

Authorization

You hereby authorize FastWebEngine to create a Service account, including any related services and provide access to this account, the web page directory, cgi-bin directory, email filter, and/or any other directories or programs that need to be accessed during the Service. If you are an entity (such as a corporation, limited liability company or partnership), the individual accepting these Terms of Service warrants that they have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms of Service. You agree to use the Service for lawful purposes in accordance with these Terms of Service. You agree to maintain accurate contact and billing details within your Client Portal account.

Fees and Payment

FastWebEngine will invoice you at the beginning of the Service term. Payments for the Service are processed at the beginning of the billing term you have chosen (monthly, semi-annually or annually). If credit card payments are not able to be processed (e.g., transactions are declined due to, but not limited to, inactive and/or expired credit cards) alternative payment is due within fourteen (14) days of invoice due date. If after fourteen (14) days payment is not made, your Service account may be automatically suspended pending final resolution. FastWebEngine reserves the right to remove your Service account, website(s), database(s), email, and all files and/or information from our hosting environment if payment is not made within twenty-one (21) days of invoice due date. FastWebEngine reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to deactivate and/or terminate your Service account upon any indication of credit problems including delinquent payments. FastWebEngine is not responsible for any deleted files, databases, emails, data, information or content resulting from the suspension and/or reactivation of your account.

Cancellation

You may cancel the Service at any time by notifying FastWebEngine via email, phone, or by submitting a cancellation request within the Client Portal. Cancellation must be requested at least ten (10) days prior to the start of the next billing term in order to avoid additional charges.

Upon cancellation you will have full access to your hosting account until either (1) the final day of your chosen billing term, or (2) your DNS settings have changed in order to point your domain away from FastWebEngine. Thereafter your account will be terminated and access to the Service will cease. It is your sole responsibility to backup your hosting account data, files and any information stored on FastWebEngine servers prior to cancellation. FastWebEngine is not responsible for any deleted files, databases, emails, data, information or content resulting from the cancellation of your account.

Thirty (30) Day Satisfaction Guarantee

First-time, new accounts are eligible for our thirty (30) day money back satisfaction guarantee (domain registrations excluded). Our standard policy ensures a risk-free experience for trying the Service. If during the first thirty (30) days after account activation you find that the Service does not meet your needs, simply submit a support request through the Client Portal requesting a refund and the cancellation of your account.

FastWebEngine offers a thirty (30) day money back satisfaction guarantee for first-time, new accounts (domain registrations excluded).

If you have previously signed up for an account, then cancelled and signed up again, or if you have signed up for additional accounts, you will not be eligible for a refund. FastWebEngine does not issue partial refunds or credits for early cancellations beyond our thirty (30) day satisfaction guarantee.
