4. Billing and Payment Information
You agree to supply appropriate payment for services received from RK Frantz, in advance of the service period. You agree that until and unless you
notify RK Frantz of your intent to cancel any or all services, those services will be billed on a recurring basis. Payment for recurring services, such as hosting,
domain and ssl renewals, will automatically be billed to your credit card on file when you choose monthly or quarterly billing periods. For accounts billed on a yearly
basis, an invoice will be generated and emailed to you one month in advance of your payment due date. You may pay this invoice by check, or online with a credit card.
All invoices for services, except for yearly billing periods, must be paid within 10 days of invoicing. Yearly billing invoices must be paid within 30
days of invoicing. Any invoices paid after the grace period will incur a $25.00 service charge in addition to the outstanding amount owed. Any invoice not paid within
10 days after the grace period will result in your account being suspended until all outstanding invoices and charges are paid in full. Note that service will continue
to accrue even while your account is suspended.
RK Frantz software will not be responsible for loss of domain name(s) due to a renewal invoice not being paid in time. It is your responsibility to
ensure your invoices are paid in a timely manner.
5. Backups and Data Loss
Your use of this service is at your sole risk. Our backup service is provided to you as a courtesy. RK Frantz is not responsible for files and/or data
residing on your account. You agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backups of files and data stored on RK Frantz
servers. Backups will not be provided for accounts that have been suspended or terminated for any reason, or for shared hosting accounts exceeding 10gb unless otherwise agreed
to in writing by RK Frantz Software, Inc.
6. Cancellations and Refunds
You may cancel your account at any time by using the "Cancel Account" link found on your account control panel. No refunds are given on dedicated servers,
administrative fees, install fees, custom software, SSL certificates or domain registrations and renewals. If you cancel an account billed on a quarterly or yearly basis
before the end of a billing period (quarter or year), that period will be recalculated as if it were billed monthly before returning the unused portion of your payment, if
any. The recalculation may result in additional money being due, and if so, this additional amount will automatically be charged to your credit card on file. No refunds will
be given on accounts billed monthly.
Violations of the Terms and Conditions agreement will waive the refund policy.
7. Bandwidth and Resource Usage
You will have a certain amount of bandwidth available monthly, depending on the hosting service plan you have signed up for. 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 bandwidth in one month cannot
be carried over to the next month.
In addition, shared hosting users may not:
- Use 25% or more of system resources for longer than 60 seconds.
- Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server.
- Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy)
- Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
- Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities.
- Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc.
8. Price Changes
RK Frantz reserves the right to change prices for hosting services at any time; however, prices will never increase on accounts in good standing as long as the
account remains active. Accounts which are cancelled or otherwise terminated will be reopened at the current prices in effect at the time. This No Price Change policy applies
to shared and dedicated hosting prices only. Prices for domain registrations, renewals, SSL certificates and custom software rates will use the price in effect at the time
those services are rendered.
V. Web Design Services
Web design services are provided on a project basis through our online project tracking system, accessible from your account area. When you create and submit a
design request project, our team will review the request and either respond back to you with a project price, an ongoing hourly, weekly or monthly price, or a request for more
information from you. If we have responded with a price quote, the project will be placed in a Pending status and you will have 30 days to approve the price or modify and resubmit
your project for further review.
If you approve a pending project, an invoice for 50% of the price will be generated and posted to your account. You will then have 10 days to pay the deposit
invoice before any work will begin. Please note: The estimated date of completion is based on your prompt approval and payment of the deposit. If you take longer than 24
hours, this will affect your completion date.
If you do not approve a project quote or pay the deposit invoice within 10 days, the project and invoice are automatically cancelled and no payment is due from you.
If you cancel a project after work has begun, you will be responsible for payment of that work as indicated on the time sheets attached to your project. If the deposit amount paid is
greater than the work billed, you will receive a refund by check or a credit will be applied to your credit card, depending on the method used to pay the deposit invoice. If more
money is owed, you are responsible for payment of the due amount.
Remember, no work is begun on a project unless and until you have approved the project quote AND have paid the deposit amount. It costs you nothing to submit a project
and receive a quote, so we encourage you to submit all your project needs for consideration.
Once a project is started, you will see time sheets and invoices posted weekly to your project and account. Invoices are credited automatically from your deposit
until there is a balance due. At that point, invoices become due and payable within 10 days of billing. Any invoices not paid within 10 days will result in work being stopped
until all outstanding invoices are paid in full.
VI. Indemnification
Customer agrees that it shall defend, indemnify, save and hold RK Frantz harmless from any and all demands, liabilities, losses, costs and claims, including
reasonable attorney's fees asserted against RK Frantz, 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 customer, its agents, employees or assigns. Customer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless RK Frantz against liabilities
arising out of; (1) any injury to person or property caused by any products sold or otherwise distributed in connection with RK Frantz; (2) any material supplied by customer
infringing or allegedly infringing on the proprietary rights of a third party; (3) copyright infringement and (4) any defective products sold to customers from RK Frantz's server.
VII. Arbitration
By using any RK Frantz services, you agree to submit to binding arbitration. If any disputes or claims arise against RK Frantz or its subsidiaries, such disputes
will be handled by an arbitrator of RK Frantz's choice. Arbitrators shall be attorneys or retired judges and shall be selected pursuant to the applicable rules. All decisions
rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final. The arbitrator's award is final and binding on all parties. The Federal Arbitration Act, and not any state arbitration law,
governs all arbitration under this Arbitration Clause. You are also responsible for any and all costs related to such arbitration.

agencies. We will cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies.
