• use of the central processing unit (CPU) (< 60 seconds at 100%);
• use of the RAM (<80 Mo per second);
• access by a server SQL by 3 simultaneous connections (request/session) only (the Supplier recommends to have short connections and to close them after use);
• or any other criteria that may damage HostStage IT system.
• Inodes/Mail per hour (Shared/VPS)

2. Server Abuse

Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server or customer of HostStage is strictly prohibited. As our customer you are responsible for all your accounts. Should you violate the Terms of Services outlined within, your account will be cancelled without chance of refund.

3. Refusal of Service

We reserve the right to refuse, cancel or suspend service, at our sole discretion. All sub-networks, distributive hosting sites and dedicated servers of HostStage must adhere to the above and following policies.

4. Billing

By the Account Activation Date of each month, HostStage shall either:

• debit the client's credit card (when such information has been provided by the client);

or

• deliver, by e-mail or regular mail, an invoice in accordance with the applicable Service Fees for services rendered for the current month. Invoices are generated 14 days prior to the Account Activation Date, and payment shall be remitted to HostStage by no later than the specified payment due date ;

or

• prepaid monthly invoice

It is the client's responsibility to ensure that they have sufficient credit to cover this transaction. In the event that there is insufficient credit, we will send an e-mail notification, at which point another payment method must be provided within 24 hours. If we do not receive a response within 24 hours, the account, and all accounts under that account plan, can be suspended, eventually terminated.

5. Service Suspension and Termination

Invoices are issued 14 days prior to the applicable due date for each active service.After the due date is passed without a payment being received and an invoice marked as PAID, a first warning e-mail will be sent. Failure to pay within 96 hours will result in a second and final suspension warning e-mail.  On the 3rd day after the due date, services may be suspended at any time, and any payment MUST be communicated to a support agent to avoid suspension. If suspension occurs, a suspension notification is sent via e-mail, at which point full service termination may happen within 96 hours of the suspension e-mail.
HostStage does not guarantee that your service may be recuperated after termination and may not be held liable for loss of data, licensing rights, promotional prices or conditions, as well as any attached devices or secondary IP addresses following service termination.

6.  Fraud and payment verification

Upon receiving a new customer's first paid order, HostStage reserves the right to issue an Order Verification e-mail, requesting further information in order to validate your account.
Until all required information is provided and deemed satisfactory by our fraud verification team, no services or support can be provided.
The 3 business day delivery guarantee starts after the verification step is passed. Verification is not necessary for all orders, and can only requested on your very first paid order.

7. Refund  Policy (out of the 30 days money-back guarantee)

Because the services are provided on a monthly basis, the client will be responsible for service fees incurred each month, regardless of when client provides notice of termination.
Thus, for example, if the client provides notice of termination on the 15th day of a particular month, the client will be responsible for service fees for the entire month, and such fees will not be pro-rated or refunded.

8. Money back guarantee

We reserve the final decision on refunds, based on the situation and reason for cancellation. We will not refund or credit under the following circumstances:

• Failing to ask a question on the nature of our services, or a particular specification or configuration.
• Account termination or suspension due to non-following of our Terms of Service.
• Account termination or suspension due to any kind of illegal activity.
• Any overpayment made more than 45 days ago
• Any Licences
• Any Domain registration

We offer a 30 day Money back guarantee for delivered servers, at the exception of dedicated servers, SSL certificates, IP blocks, and licences
If client has retained the services for longer than one month and has pre-paid HostStage for such services, refunds will not be issued for any unused portion of the lease, as your purchase benefits from a long-term rebate.
Therefore, if a client's account is cancelled at any point during a 3month, 6month or one-year term, the client will not be entitled to a refund for the months remaining.
In the case of a bulk order, the customer waives his right to any refund. The 30 day Money back guarantee covers one service only. If the customer orders more than one of the same service, he forfeits his right to test the service and will not be eligible for refund or credit.
