Terms & Conditions

By using the website hosting services (hereinafter the “Services,” defined below), you signify your agreement to the terms and conditions contained in this Hosting Agreement (hereinafter, the “Agreement”). This Agreement is between you, your organization (if you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of an organization), collectively referred to herein as “you” or “your” (and appropriate formatives) and AuthorCrafted, under Plan Four LLC (“we”, “us” and “our”).

  1. The Services consist of the website hosting package with the specific configuration which you selected or are going to select through the Services Interface as you elect to use AuthorCrafted for your websites hosting.
  2. You are hereby informed that, if you use a credit card to pay for the Services, that the charge for the Services may appear under a name other than the name of AuthorCrafted and that, prior to contacting your credit card company in relation to such charges, that you will first contact us to verify the charges and the manner of billing. You agree that any chargeback by a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider) of a charge related to the Services, for whatever reason, is a material breach of this Agreement and is grounds for termination.
  3. AuthorCrafted has no contracts in place for the length of service. If you chose to cancel your hosting at any time, you would just need to reach out to us through the contact form on the website. You would agree to give us 30 days notice of any cancellation to give our team the time needed to remove your hosting and to give you the information you need to set up with another host.
  4. Your use of the Services may be suspended and/or this Agreement may be terminated if we determine that you are or are alleged to be violating the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other agreement entered into by you and us. In the event of termination or suspension of Services under such circumstances, you agree that no pre-paid fees will be refunded.
  5. We may elect to terminate this Agreement without cause and discontinue the Services upon 30 days notice, whereupon any pre-paid fees for an unused portion of a service term shall be refunded to you within a reasonable period of time. You further agree that, within 30 days of your initial enrolment to receive the Services, we may elect to terminate this Agreement without cause and that, in such event, the termination shall take effect immediately and that any pre-paid fees for an unused portion of your service term shall be refunded to you within a reasonable period of time.
  6. You acknowledge that email and the use of our contact form will be the primary means of communication between yourself and us. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to maintain a current email address and let us know if you change email addresses.
  7. You acknowledge that we are not obligated to return any data to you upon termination of this Agreement. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to download, make copies of, and/or backup all data residing on the servers and other equipment which provide the Services and to do so within the bandwidth limitations of the Services. You acknowledge that any loss or corruption of data which occurs due to an interruption in the Services, regardless of the cause of the interruption, shall not be the responsibility of us and that you may, following an interruption in the Services, be required to upload the data to the servers and other equipment which provide the Services.
  8. You agree that any personally identifying information provided by you shall be used by us according to our privacy policy posted at https://authorcrafted.com/privacy-policy

YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF US EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SERVICES FOR A ONE-MONTH PERIOD, BUT IN NO EVENT GREATER THAN ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00).
