This document contains the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), Privacy Policy and the Billing Policy as part of its terms.

1. Money Back Guarantee. Our clients have a 30 day money back guarantee. If for any reason the client is unsatisfied with the services of Rent Hosting with the first 30 days of purchase, the company will refund the client's money. The amount refunded will be the dollar amount paid to Rent Hosting, less the bandwidth used with-in the first 30 days of service. Please refer the refunds and account cancellations sections for more information.

2. 99.9% Uptime Service Level Agreement (SLA). Should Rent Hosting fail to reach a monthly 99.9% uptime, a partial or complete refund, as determined by the extent of the situation, will be granted upon receipt of the customer's request. Refunds are given when a service crucial to the operation of the website, or a combination of the said services are not available for 99.9% of the month. Between 99.9 and 99.8 at least a 30% refund is issued; between 99.8 and 99.7 at least a 50% refund is issued and a full refund would be provided for any downtime amount below. The company's monitoring logs are provided upon request. The above policy does not apply to scheduled downtime when customers are notified in advance.

3. Refunds. The client may cancel his/her hosting account at any time. After the first 30 days of service, refunds will be granted for full unused months. Domain name, SSL certificate, and ClientExec purchases are non-refundable; should the client receive a free domain during a promotion, upon early cancellation, the client will be charged a $10 fee and must transfer the domain away from Rent Hosting with-in a period of one month. If after a month, the client does not transfer the domain name, Rent Hosting cannot be held liable for the domain. No refunds will be issued if any part of this agreement is breached; the company's money back policy is also void in this instance.

4. Account Information / Verification. To protect our customers, Rent Hosting will log and verify that the IP of an account holder matches the country he/she indicates on the order form. If the company is unable to confirm the above, Rent Hosting reserves the right to call the account holder's phone number in order to verify that he/she did indeed order the services of Rent Hosting, or to take any other action necessary to verify the validity of the order. Should Rent Hosting determine that information provided by the customer during the sign-up process is invalid, the company reserves the right to terminate or suspend the offending account. The client is responsible for updating his/her contact information.

5. Account Termination. The client may cancel his/her hosting account at any time. All account termination requests must be sent to cancellations@rent-hosting.com. The content of this email must specify the domain name used by the client during the ordering process and order number included in the welcome email. Note that by emailing Rent Hosting the client is requesting an immediate termination of his/her account. Should the client have purchased a domain with Rent Hosting, he/she will need to transfer it away from us with-in a period of one month. Please allow up to a week for Rent Hosting to cancel an account after a request has been submitted.
