1. OVERVIEW

This Universal Terms of Service Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between CodeHost and you, and is made effective as of the date of your use of this website (“Site”) or the date of electronic acceptance.

This Agreement sets forth the general terms and conditions of your use of the Site and the products and services purchased or accessed through this Site (individually and collectively, the “Services”), and is in addition to (not in lieu of) any specific terms and conditions that apply to the particular Services. Whether you are simply browsing, using this Site, or purchasing Services, your use of this Site and your electronic acceptance of this Agreement signifies that you have read, understood, acknowledged, and agreed to be bound by this Agreement, along with the applicable policies and agreements (including the applicable product agreements), which are incorporated herein by reference.

When your use of the Services requires us to process any personal data or personal information, we will do so in accordance with our Privacy Policy and, if applicable, Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”), which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

The Site and Services are intended for your commercial or professional use. By utilizing them, you acknowledge and agree that your purpose is commercial or professional in nature.

24. Payments, Late Fees, and Service Interruption

This section outlines the terms related to payments for services rendered by CodeHost (“the Company”). It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that their payment information is current and that all invoices are paid on time.

Timely Payment All fees for Services are due on the invoice due date. Invoices for recurring services will be generated and sent electronically to the client’s registered email address approximately seven (7) days prior to the due date.

Imposition of Late Fees If an invoice is not paid in full by its due date, the client’s account will be considered delinquent. A late fee will be automatically assessed to the outstanding invoice. The late fee shall be the greater of: a) A flat fee of ₹25.00 INR, or b) 10% of the total outstanding balance.

This fee is applied to compensate for the administrative costs associated with processing overdue accounts.

Service Suspension Accounts with an invoice that is three (3) or more days past due will be subject to temporary suspension.

• For Hosting Services: Suspension includes, but is not limited to, the disabling of website hosting, FTP access, email services, and database access. All files and data will be preserved on our servers during the suspension period.

• CodeHost is not liable for any damages, data loss, or lost business resulting from a service suspension due to non-payment.

Service Reactivation: To reactivate a suspended account, the client must pay the full outstanding balance, including all overdue invoices and any accrued late fees. A one-time reactivation fee of ₹100.00 INR may also be applied to restore services after suspension.

Special Conditions for Domain Names: Domain name renewals are critical and are handled differently from hosting services, in accordance with ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) regulations.

• Failure to Renew: If a domain name is not renewed by its expiration date, it will cease to function.Once expried you have to pay the mentioned late fees along with the outstanding balance while renewal.

• Redemption Grace Period (RGP): Shortly after expiration, the domain may enter a “Redemption Grace Period.” Retrieving a domain from this status is possible but incurs a significant redemption fee (typically $85.00 USD or more, in addition to the standard renewal fee).

• Forfeiture: If the domain is not renewed or redeemed, it will eventually be deleted and released to the public for general registration. CodeHost is not responsible for a client’s failure to renew their domain and cannot guarantee its recovery after expiration.

Account Termination and Data Deletion: If an account remains delinquent for fourteen (14) or more days, CodeHost reserves the right to terminate the account.

• Upon termination, all data associated with the client’s hosting service(s), including website files, databases, and emails, will be permanently and irretrievably deleted from our servers.

• CodeHost shall not be liable for any data loss resulting from account termination due to non-payment.

Invoice Disputes Any disputes regarding an invoice must be submitted in writing via a support ticket or to our billing department within fifteen (15) days of the invoice date. Clients are still obligated to pay the undisputed portion of the invoice to avoid late fees and service interruption.

Collections CodeHost reserves the right to engage a third-party collections agency to pursue any outstanding debt. The client agrees to be responsible for all reasonable collections costs, including but not limited to legal fees, court costs, and collection agency fees.
