DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES


We offer varying plans of Hosting Services:

Web Hosting.  If you purchase Web Hosting, your site is placed within one or more servers and resources are shared between many customers on the same servers; however, your site is given a unique address (DNS).

Virtual Private Server (“VPS”) If you purchase VPS, you will share a server with other customers, but you will have full control over your server space and the complete configuration of your virtual instance on the server. You will have administrator (root) access and a dedicated IP address.

Dedicated Server.  If you purchase a Dedicated Server, an entire server is reserved exclusively for your account and usage. You will have exclusive rights to your server’s bandwidth, memory, and storage space, and your server’s performance will not be affected by traffic and the usage patterns of other customers.

Managed Hosting.  If you purchase Managed Hosting, you get all of the benefits of having your own VPS or Dedicated Server, but we will manage the server for you including setting up your control panel, patching cycles and back-ups.

Hosting Migrations If you have your domain name registered with us and the web hosting associated with the domain is provided by a third-party, we may, at your request and in our sole discretion, attempt to assist you to move the web hosting for the domain name to us (“Hosting Migration”).  Hosting Migrations are provided as a courtesy service, and we do not make any guarantee regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete a Hosting Migration.  Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make us unable to assist you in the transfer of data from a third-party host.

You are solely responsible for reviewing the functionality and accuracy of migrated content in its new location following a Hosting Migration.  If you are satisfied with the data migration, you will need to update the DNS record for the domain name in order to publish the website in its new location.  We will not perform website backups or archives in connection with a Hosting Migration, and we recommend that you back up your third-party hosted website before migration to ensure that no data is lost.  You agree not to make any changes or revisions to your website during the migration process.

By requesting a Hosting Migration, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to provide us with access to your third-party hosting account and allow us to migrate the data at the third-party host to us.  You agree that you retain sole contractual and any other legal or fiduciary responsibilities related to your third-party hosting account.  You agree that we are not liable for any delay in website resolution or loss of data related to your Hosting Migration.  Hosting Migrations are not available for websites with over 10GB of data or more than 100,000 files.

BACKUPS AND DATA LOSS


Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. Raidlayer’s backup service runs once a week and overwrites any of our previous backups. Only one week of backups are kept at a time. This service is provided only to shared and reseller accounts as a courtesy and may be modified or terminated at any time at Raidlayer’s sole discretion. Raidlayer does not maintain backups of dedicated accounts. Raidlayer is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your account. You agree to take full responsibility for all files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backup of files and data stored on Raidlayer’s servers.

Any shared account using more than 20 gigs of disk space will be removed from our off site weekly backup with the exception of databases continuing to be backed up. All data will continue to be mirrored to a secondary drive to help protect against data loss in the event of a drive failure.

LIMITATIONS; ACCOUNT TERMINATION


Migration of Servers.  You acknowledge and agree that as a normal course of business, it may be necessary for us to migrate our servers. As a result, even if you have a dedicated IP, you may be assigned a different IP number. We do not warrant that you will be able to consistently maintain your given IP numbers.

Termination of Services.  You acknowledge and agree that upon expiration or termination of your Services, you must discontinue use of the Services and relinquish use of the IP addresses and server names assigned to you in connection with Services, including pointing the domain name system (“DNS”) for your domain name(s) away from our servers. Prior to termination of the Services, you are responsible for moving your website or server content off our servers. We will not transfer or FTP your website or server content to another provider. If you fail to move your website or server content off our servers prior to cancellation, then all such content will be deleted and we will not be able to provide a copy of such content.

SERVICE FEES / PAYMENTS / INVOICES


All Raidlayer fees and charges are quoted and billed in US Dollars unless otherwise noted.
Members have the option to pay services fees in INR or US Dollars. If US Dollars is selected as the billing currency, Members will be charged the US Dollar equivalent of the US Dollar total. The exchange rate used (“Exchange Rate”) is subject to change from time to time.

Raidlayer uses an automated payment processing system and accepts credit card, Debit Card, Visa, Master and Paypal payments at this time. All Members are required to maintain valid credit card information on file for the processing of any applicable service fees. At its sole discretion, Raidlayer may use credit card issuer-approved services, such as VISA Account Updater and MasterCard Automatic Billing Updater, to acquire updated payment information for the purpose of processing outstanding payments that are on your account.

Service fees are due at the time of order or on the day of renewal. All fees must be paid in full.
Invoices for all Raidlayer services can be found by logging into Client Area.
Billing inquiries and disputes should be brought to Raidlayer’s attention within 30 days of the invoice date. Failure to do so will be deemed to be an admission that the invoice and charges are accurate.

If any chargeback or charge dispute notices are received for your account, services provided to you may be immediately suspended pending investigation, and you will be subject to chargeback service charges. Where applicable, Raidlayer reserves the right to put your domain name into “Registrar Hold” status and deny any transfer requests for that domain name until the chargeback or dispute issue has been resolved.

Accounts will be suspended if its service renewal fees are not paid within 72 hours of the due date. Accounts suspended in this manner can be re-activated upon payment of the Account Reactivation Fee.

Late Payment.
All invoices must be paid within ten (10) days of the invoice due date. Any invoice that is outstanding for more than ten (10) days may result in the suspension or termination of Services.

If you fail to pay the fees as specified herein, Raidlayer may suspend or terminate your account and pursue the collection costs incurred by Raidlayer, including without limitation, any arbitration and legal fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Raidlayer will not activate new orders or activate new packages for customers who have an outstanding balance on their account.

Dedicated servers are subject to being reclaimed and all content deleted if you fail to make a timely payment. If you make a late payment we do not automatically reactivate the dedicated servers. Contact Raidlayer directly after you make a late payment to reactivate the dedicated server.

This includes the compromise of credentials such as user name and password. You are required to use a secure password. If a weak password is used, your account may be suspended until you agree to use a more secure password. Audits may be done to prevent weak passwords from being used. If an audit is performed, and your password is found to be weak, we will notify you and allow time for you to change or update your password before suspending your account.

During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied and used for authorized purposes. By using the Services, you consent to monitoring for these purposes.

Any account found connecting to a third party network or system without authorization from the third party is subject to suspension. Access to networks or systems outside of your direct control requires the express written consent of the third party. Raidlayer may, at our discretion, request documentation to prove that your access to a third party network or system is authorized.

Any account which causes us to receive an abuse report may be terminated and/or have access to services suspended. If you do not remove malicious content from your account after being notified by Raidlayer of an issue, we reserve the right to leave access to services disabled.

Raidlayer reserves the right to migrate your account from one data center to another in order to comply with applicable data center policies, local law or for technical or other reasons without notice.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES


We offer varying plans of Hosting Services:

Web Hosting.  If you purchase Web Hosting, your site is placed within one or more servers and resources are shared between many customers on the same servers; however, your site is given a unique address (DNS).

Virtual Private Server (“VPS”) If you purchase VPS, you will share a server with other customers, but you will have full control over your server space and the complete configuration of your virtual instance on the server. You will have administrator (root) access and a dedicated IP address.

Dedicated Server.  If you purchase a Dedicated Server, an entire server is reserved exclusively for your account and usage. You will have exclusive rights to your server’s bandwidth, memory, and storage space, and your server’s performance will not be affected by traffic and the usage patterns of other customers.

Managed Hosting.  If you purchase Managed Hosting, you get all of the benefits of having your own VPS or Dedicated Server, but we will manage the server for you including setting up your control panel, patching cycles and back-ups.

Hosting Migrations If you have your domain name registered with us and the web hosting associated with the domain is provided by a third-party, we may, at your request and in our sole discretion, attempt to assist you to move the web hosting for the domain name to us (“Hosting Migration”).  Hosting Migrations are provided as a courtesy service, and we do not make any guarantee regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete a Hosting Migration.  Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make us unable to assist you in the transfer of data from a third-party host.

You are solely responsible for reviewing the functionality and accuracy of migrated content in its new location following a Hosting Migration.  If you are satisfied with the data migration, you will need to update the DNS record for the domain name in order to publish the website in its new location.  We will not perform website backups or archives in connection with a Hosting Migration, and we recommend that you back up your third-party hosted website before migration to ensure that no data is lost.  You agree not to make any changes or revisions to your website during the migration process.

By requesting a Hosting Migration, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to provide us with access to your third-party hosting account and allow us to migrate the data at the third-party host to us.  You agree that you retain sole contractual and any other legal or fiduciary responsibilities related to your third-party hosting account.  You agree that we are not liable for any delay in website resolution or loss of data related to your Hosting Migration.  Hosting Migrations are not available for websites with over 10GB of data or more than 100,000 files.

BACKUPS AND DATA LOSS


Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. Raidlayer’s backup service runs once a week and overwrites any of our previous backups. Only one week of backups are kept at a time. This service is provided only to shared and reseller accounts as a courtesy and may be modified or terminated at any time at Raidlayer’s sole discretion. Raidlayer does not maintain backups of dedicated accounts. Raidlayer is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your account. You agree to take full responsibility for all files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backup of files and data stored on Raidlayer’s servers.

Any shared account using more than 20 gigs of disk space will be removed from our off site weekly backup with the exception of databases continuing to be backed up. All data will continue to be mirrored to a secondary drive to help protect against data loss in the event of a drive failure.

LIMITATIONS; ACCOUNT TERMINATION


Migration of Servers.  You acknowledge and agree that as a normal course of business, it may be necessary for us to migrate our servers. As a result, even if you have a dedicated IP, you may be assigned a different IP number. We do not warrant that you will be able to consistently maintain your given IP numbers.

Termination of Services.  You acknowledge and agree that upon expiration or termination of your Services, you must discontinue use of the Services and relinquish use of the IP addresses and server names assigned to you in connection with Services, including pointing the domain name system (“DNS”) for your domain name(s) away from our servers. Prior to termination of the Services, you are responsible for moving your website or server content off our servers. We will not transfer or FTP your website or server content to another provider. If you fail to move your website or server content off our servers prior to cancellation, then all such content will be deleted and we will not be able to provide a copy of such content.

SERVICE FEES / PAYMENTS / INVOICES

Where applicable, Raidlayer reserves the right to put your domain name into “Registrar Hold” status and deny any transfer requests for that domain name until the chargeback or dispute issue has been resolved.

Any account found connecting to a third party network or system without authorization from the third party is subject to suspension. Access to networks or systems outside of your direct control requires the express written consent of the third party. Raidlayer may, at our discretion, request documentation to prove that your access to a third party network or system is authorized.

Any account which causes us to receive an abuse report may be terminated and/or have access to services suspended. If you do not remove malicious content from your account after being notified by Raidlayer of an issue, we reserve the right to leave access to services disabled.
