2.3. Account Maintenance and Security

You agree that you are entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify Host Impact immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or of any other breach of security.

You may cancel your account and prevent an automatic renewal by requesting a cancellation through the Client Area at least 10 days prior to your service’s expiry date. The cancellation request must include all the necessary details to allow a Host Impact agent to properly identify the account in question, including your full domain name and hosting account type.
2.6. Backups
For certain services, Host Impact provides courtesy backups to help protect your data.However, backups can occasionally fail. Under no circumstance will Host Impact be held responsible for any loss resulting from incomplete or incorrect backups. By using Host Impact services, you agree to maintain complete backups on your own computers of all data stored on Host Impact servers.
Backups for: Web Hosting, Reseller Hosting, Discord Server Hosting & Email Hosting
Host Impact performs regular courtesy backups of data stored on certain types of services, including web hosting and reseller hosting accounts. Backups are offered as a courtesy service and while they are generally very effective, they cannot be guaranteed. Accounts using more than 10 Gigabytes of disk space or using more than 100,000 files may have their backup service automatically disabled in order to maintain system performance. On these accounts, courtesy backups may be reactivated by freeing up additional disk space and then contacting our Customer Service team.
Backups for: Cloud & Dedicated Servers
On Cloud or Dedicated servers, backups are available through the External Backups option. You may order External Backup from your Client Area at any time or during your original order. Host Impact will activate the backup service for you and will enable automatic backups of your data using specialized backup software. You must ensure that the data on your server does not exceed the capacity of your backup storage. If your server's data exceeds the backup storage capacity, your data may not be backed up until you upgrade your backup storage from your Client Area.
Host Impact relies on specialized third-party backup software to manage the automatic backup process from your account or server onto the backup storage. Technical errors or problems can occasionally prevent the successful completion of a backup run. As such, you are strongly encouraged to regularly test the backup restoration process on your server and report any issues to Host Impact's support team.
3. Privacy Policy
Host Impact is committed to your privacy, and does not sell, trade or give out your personal information unless required as part of your service contract or by law. For our complete privacy policy, please click here.
4. Acceptable Use Policy
In a shared web hosting environment, several clients must share server resources. As such, it is important not to use your hosting account in any way that may negatively affect other Host Impact clients. Our Acceptable Use Policy (hereinafter “AUP”) describes what is and what is not allowed on our servers, and is available at Acceptable Use Policy.
5. Domain Names
Domain name registrations, renewals, and transfers must respect our Domain Names Policy, which can be found at Domain Registration Agreement and Domain Names Terms and Conditions.
6. Domain Privacy Protection Service
If purchased in conjunction with certain types of domain names, the Privacy Protection service (also referred to as ID Protect) is intended to shield the customer’s personal information from the public domain name information database, called the « WHOIS » database, by replacing the customer’s information with those of a confidentiality services provider. The Privacy Protection service cannot prevent information from being published by third parties, nor does it remove any public « WHOIS » information that may have been saved and published by other parties prior to the purchase and activation of the protection. The Privacy Protection service is not available for all domain types.
The Privacy Protection service is non-refundable and is not covered by our money-back guarantee. The Client must always maintain accurate contact information in their private Host Impact profile, as stipulated by ICANN's rules and regulations.
7. SSL Certificates
The use and installation of COMODO or Sectigo SSL Certificates offered by Host Impact are subject to the terms and conditions of COMODO and Sectigo. Following an SSL purchase, a Host Impact technician will request a certificate on your behalf and attempt to complete its installation on your account. If you have requested a Dedicated IP address during your SSL order, your Web Site may experience up to 12 hours of downtime during the SSL installation process, due to a process called DNS Propagation.
Unless otherwise requested prior to the installation, an SSL certificate will be installed and will work exclusively on the domain name or subdomain that was requested during your order. SSL Certificates are non-transferable. The installation of an SSL certificate does not guarantee the use of encrypted https protocol throughout your website. Additional website configuration changes are recommended to fully make use of your certificate's data encryption, as described in our Help Center.
8. G Suite Accounts The use of G Suite Accounts offered by Host Impact are subject to the terms and conditions of Google Workspace. Host Impact is not directly associated with Google Workspace and is not responsible for the suspension and termination of the services should you violate the terms of service set forth by Google.
9. Webmaster Help Service
The Webmaster Help Service is a paid service offered by Host Impact in order to provide you with technical assistance relating to your web sites, outside of the scope of our standard technical support. The Webmaster Help Service is billed in 30 minute-increments, at an hourly rate established on Host Impact Web Site or through written communications prior to the start of work. If a phone consultation is required, a Host Impact agent can call you at an agreed-upon time and provide assistance for a duration that does not exceed a maximum of 50 minutes per billable hour.
Host Impact cannot guarantee any specific results with their Webmaster Help Service. While our team will attempt to complete any task in the time they have available, the results will depend entirely on the complexity of the project and the available time-frame. If we're unable to complete the required work in the allotted time slot, we'll let you know and provide you with options.
The Webmaster Help Service is non-refundable once the requested work has been completed. The first hour of Webmaster Help fees must be paid prior to the start of the work, and additional hours incurred must be paid in full within five (5) days of the work being performed.
10. Dedicated IP Address
All dedicated IP addresses assigned to you must be maintained by you in a manner that confirms to the norms and regulations set forth by ARIN (https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html).If you ordered multiple IP addresses with a Cloud, Dedicated or Reseller service, they must be used at 80% within 30 days of being assigned.
At the outset, for Web Hosting, Reseller Hosting or WordPress Hosting accounts, you will be assigned a shared IP address. You may request one (1) dedicated IP address per hosting account, at additional cost. Host Impact reserves the right to evaluate the pertinence of any dedicated IP address request and deny such requests if they do not comply with ARIN regulations. Host Impact retains full control and rights to the IP addresses assigned to you at all times and reserves the right to modify or remove assigned addresses with prior notice.
A dedicated IP address change may incur an unavailability of your web site lasting up to 24 hours, due to DNS propagation.
11. Site Transfers
In most cases, Host Impact can help move your website from any other compatible web hosting provider (also called a website migration). However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and Host Impact can not make guarantees regarding the availability, accuracy, possibility, or time required to complete such a transfer. Each hosting company is different, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it difficult or impossible to migrate some or all account data. We will try our best, but in some cases we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host.
A free site transfer service request can be made within 30 days of a new web hosting, reseller hosting, cloud hosting, or virtual private server (VPS) order by opening a Support ticket from your Client Area which includes all necessary information to allow us to connect to your other provider's account and retrieve all your data. Unless otherwise confirmed in writing, free website transfers are limited to a maximum of 10GB of data, 5 email accounts, and one database. More complex migrations should be discussed with our support team prior to being requested.
Site transfer requests placed after the initial 30-day period are subject to our standard Webmaster Help service rates.
12. Search Engine Listing
Host Impact is not directly associated with any search engines and is not responsible for the ranking of your web site in search results. Host Impact cannot guarantee specific results beyond what is described or guaranteed on the Host Impact Web Site.
13. Service Guarantees
13.1. Money-back guarantee
Host Impact is fully committed to your satisfaction and offers the following money-back guarantee: if you are not 100% satisfied with the service obtained within 30 days of your purchase, Host Impact will refund your hosting costs.
The money-back guarantee applies exclusively to eligible services as described in paragraph 16 of the present Terms and Conditions.
13.2. Guaranteed technical support in 12 hours or less
Host Impact guarantees a response to technical support questions received through our Client Area within a maximum of 12 hours (although we normally reply much faster than that!). This guarantee does not apply to incomplete support requests, requests that do not reach us (due to inappropriate use of the helpdesk support system), requests not directly linked to the services provided by us or that fall outside the scope of our service support, requests that have been responded to but require additional resolution time, or requests that cannot be answered due to causes outside of our direct control.
If a technical request is not answered within this timeframe, Host Impact can issue an account credit equivalent to 25% of your pre-tax monthly fees per incident, up to a maximum of 100% of your monthly hosting fees, following your written request from our Client Area. Account credit can be applied to any services with Host Impact.
13.3. 99.9% Guaranteed Server Availability
Host Impact understands the importance of having a continuously available web site and guarantees a server availability (or “uptime”) of 99.9%, calculated monthly. Our services are considered available if they respond to external PING requests from at least two different external monitoring services.
Any scheduled maintenance outage will not be considered when computing monthly uptime. Sporadic or localized outages due to Internet network conditions outside of our control will also not be considered when computing monthly uptime, nor will incorrect DNS or account manipulations by the Client, including programming errors or script errors.
In the rare case that an unscheduled outage causes a service to be unavailable for more than 0.1% of a calendar month (or 43 minutes), you will be eligible for an account credit equivalent to 5% of your pre-tax monthly fees for every additional hour of unscheduled downtime, up to 100% of your monthly hosting fees. You can request a service credit following an outage by contacting us through our Client Area. Service credits can only be issued once per month, at the end of a calendar month. Domain names are not eligible for account credits.
14. Renewals
Host Impact will generate renewal invoices automatically for all your active services at least 15 days prior to their expiration date. When we generate a new invoice, we'll send you an email with a copy of the invoice and will also make the invoice available in your Client Area.
Unless otherwise requested, Host Impact will attempt to charge the payment method on file 5 days prior to your invoice's due date. If you do not wish to renew a service, please submit a service cancellation request or update your domain's auto-renewal settings through the Client Area at least 10 days prior to your service’s renewal date in order to avoid being charged for its renewal.
By making any purchase by credit card or by adding a valid credit card to your Client Area, you authorize Host Impact to automatically attempt to charge this credit card for any upcoming or overdue invoices on your account, until otherwise requested. You may manage and remove your credit card information on file from your Client Area at any time.
Expired services can be suspended if left unpaid by their due date and may be permanently deleted, at Host Impact's sole discretion. Reactivating suspended services may incur additional fees.
You must maintain an active email address on file with us at all times in order to receive important account information, including invoices and expiry notices. Services not paid on their due date risk being suspended, and may be terminated permanently shortly after, at Host Impact’s sole discretion. Should you wish to reactivate your services after they have been suspended, a reactivation fee may apply.
15. Payments
Host Impact accepts payments by Visa, Mastercard and Stripe (which includes American Express). For amounts exceeding C$50.00, Host Impact also accepts non-automated payments by check, Email Interac transfer, wire/bank transfer and direct deposits at a BMO (Bank of Montreal) branch.
All payments must be made in Canadian dollars, unless stated otherwise. A first payment is required prior to the activation of a service, and all following invoices must be paid in full prior to their due date. Any overdue invoice will carry an interest of 2%, compounded monthly (corresponding to a yearly interest rate of 26.86%). Chargebacks or bounced checks due to insufficient funds will incur additional fees of C$35.00, plus taxes.
All non-automated payments (checks, wire transfers, money orders, or Interac e-transfers) must be made for a minimum total amount of C$50.00. Any amount paid exceeding the invoiced amount will be added to your account in the form of account credit to be used for future payments. Non-automated payments of less than C$50.00 are subject to a C$20.00 administrative fee, plus applicable taxes.
Account credit is not automatically applied to new or open invoices. In order to manually apply your account credit on an existing unpaid invoice, please visit the invoice page in your Client Area.
Occasionally, special promotions may be offered when ordering new services or account upgrades. Unless stated otherwise, promotional prices apply only to the initial payment cycle. Services renew at their regular rates, as shown on your invoice or in your product or service details in your Client Area. Special pricing promotions cannot be applied to renewals unless stated otherwise. Host Impact reserves the right to cancel any promotional pricing for any user that attempts to circumvent its intended use or limitations, at Host Impact's sole discretion.
16. Refund Policy
You can request a refund within the context of Host Impact’s money-back guarantee by sending a written request through the Host Impact Client Area.
Refunds are only available during your service's eligible refund period, which is 30 days from the time of purchase.
Refunds can only be issued using the same payment method for payments made by credit card, Stripe, check, or Interac Email Payments. Payments made by money order, wire transfer, Western Union, or Money Gram can only be refunded as credit on your Host Impact account.
Pre-paid funds cannot be refunded after the initial money-back guarantee period.
Refunds will generally be issued by Host Impact within 7 days following the reception of your refund request, but some banks or credit card providers may incur additional delays before making those funds available to you again.
The following products and services are non-refundable: domain name registrations, transfers and renewals (including ID Protection services), virtual private servers (including associated control panel and Operating System licensing fees) and Webmaster Help. Setup and installation fees are non-refundable.
If a domain name or other service that is non-refundable was offered at a discounted rate with the purchase of a hosting product, the original full value of said service will be withheld from any refunded amount.
Host Impact will not issue refunds for the same type of product more than once per account.
Billing errors can be refunded for a maximum retroactive period of 3 months. In the unlikely event that a billing error comes to your attention, you are encouraged to contact Host Impact as quickly as possible to correct the error.
17. Chargebacks and Reversals
