BILLING POLICY

 
 
Payments

 

All charges are shown in Australian Dollars. Payments are to be made in Australian dollars. Hostway accepts the following types of payment:

  • Cheque/money order
    Please make out to:
    Hostway Corporation Pty Ltd
    PO Box Q1114, QVB, NSW 1230, Australia

  • Credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express)

  • Direct Bank Deposit
    Name: Hostway Corporation
    Bank: St George Bank
    BSB: 112 – 879
    A/C: 001 353 115

All payments are due on the Account Statement Date. The Account Statement Date is the monthly anniversary of the date the account was activated. If you provide Hostway your credit card information, you authorize Hostway to automatically charge your credit or debit card for charges that apply to your account. Charges subsequent to your initial order will accumulate in your account until such charges exceed $9.95. Hostway will then automatically charge your credit card on the next Account Statement Date. You are responsible for directly updating, or notifying Hostway, of any changes to your credit card (including, but not limited to card number, expiration date, billing address, or card status).

Customers not paying by credit card agree to make payment of their balance due within ten (10) days of the Account Statement Date.

Accounts that are thirty (30) days past due will be automatically suspended. All past due and unpaid balances are subject to collection. In the event of collection, you will be liable for costs of collection including legal fees, court costs, and collection agency fees.

 
Billing Cycles (Terms)
 
Hostway offers three Billing Cycles (terms) for hosting charges: Monthly, Quarterly (3 months) and Yearly (12 months). The Billing Cycle begins on the Plan Activation Date. Resellers are limited to the monthly Billing Cycle for all of their charges. Non-credit card payment methods are limited to Annual or Quarterly Billing Cycles.

You may elect to change your Billing Cycle at any time; however, the new Billing Cycle will only take effect at the time of the next plan renewal.

All additional features added to an account are charged monthly. Additional items are non-refundable

 
Account Renewals
 
In order to insure uninterrupted service to your website, all plans will automatically renew at the end of the plan’s Billing Cycle. Plan renewal charges are based on the prevailing rate on the date of renewal according to the service selected. Plans are renewed for the same billing cycle. If you wish to cancel your plan before plan renewal, please refer to the Cancellation section below.
 
Statements
 
Hostway does not mail paper invoices or statements. Statements can be viewed and printed through SiteControl. Customers may elect to receive their monthly account billing statement via email. This option may be selected in SiteControl.

Hostway provides online Account Administration pages where you can obtain your Tax Invoices. These pages are available within SiteControl.

These tax invoices provide all the necessary information to claim a GST tax input credit. Please print off a copy of these invoices and maintain them for your records.

Cancellations
 
Hosting plans will automatically renew until a plan is cancelled. Cancellation of service requests may be submitted online through Site Control. Cancellations may also be submitted via fax at (02) 9922 6311, or postal mail to: Hostway Corporation Pty Ltd, Attn Billing Dept., Suite 807, 100 Walkers Street, North Sydney, NSW 2060. Either print or write all required information contained on the cancellation form. Cancellation requests submitted via email cannot be accepted for security reasons.

Cancellation requests must be received by Hostway a minimum of ten (10) days prior to the end of your Billing Cycle. Cancellations submitted later than this time may result in automatic renewal of your hosting plan. Cancellations become effective on the day processed by Hostway. Hostway is unable to cancel your account effective for a future date. Hostway will confirm the cancellation request when it is processed. If you do not receive a confirmation, please contact Hostway as soon as possible.

Hostway does not monitor, and will not automatically cancel, plans for problems related to domain name transfers, non-usage, Internic, your ISP, or any other secondary issues not directly related to Hostway's services. Cancellation of services does not relieve the customer from paying any outstanding balance owed on the account. Hostway Corporation reserves the right to cancel any account, at any time, without notice, for any reason Hostway Corporation considers appropriate.
