Payment

Subscription (recurring) payments are facilitated securely using the Stripe payment gateway with full PCI compliance and PayPal. All Wordsrack clients paying via monthly subscription is the sole way Wordsrack conducts billing, no other payment intervals are offered as the service is “as is – where is” thereby protecting the client from not losing more than a single months subscription and can terminate the service “at will” (see Account Cancellation below) . Recurring payments are pre-authorized and continue automatically until the payment method requires updating and/or is declined or withdrawn. Manual Invoice payment terms are “Net on receipt” from Invoice date. Establishment of service is reliant upon receipt by the Company of payment of affirmed charges. Following payments are due on the anniversary date of the month for that month’s service.

Payments and Fees:

Accounts that reach 10 days past due will be suspended. Accounts that are not collectible by WordsRack, Inc. may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection. If you desire to cancel your account, please follow the proper procedure to do this as outlined in this TOS. After 10 days, reaching out to a client with a past due account, Wordsrack will determine with that client if the problem can be quickly overcome and anniversary date payments re-established using the account holders payment dashboard. Without direct and prompt communications back from the client to automated or management email notices of payment due, Wordsrack will suspend the account and terminate the hosting (the client site will then not be available online). A terminated account can be retrieved within 30 business days with a new hosting agreement. The new hosting agreement may not be the same price as the account prior to termination.

Failure to Pay

The Company may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement upon the failure of Subscriber to pay charges when due. Such termination or denial will not relieve Subscriber of responsibility for the payment of all accrued charges, plus reasonable interest and any collection fees.

Account Cancellation

Requests for canceling accounts may be made in writing in email or through your account page by sending support a private message. The client and Wordsrack Inc. may terminate the hosting for no other reason than to allow either party to move on if they are dissatisfied with the month to month relationship. Wordsrack Inc. protects your data and will furnish any client all their content, databases and DNS set up, making it entirely portable. This means any other host or developer that provides WordPress hosting and development services can recreate a client site in hours or even less.

Customer agrees that bandwidth and disk usage on a single website shall not exceed 15GB per month for the Services ordered by the individual customer on a per website monthly hosting subscription with Wordsrack Inc.

Clients who lease entire servers who want to increase individual sites from 50 to 100 websites will have a choice to lease another server at the same terms for bandwidth usage or increase the capacity of the existing virtual machine (server) at the same cost as leasing 2 servers and bump up to a 100 site limit with the same allocation of bandwidth of 15GB per site. Bandwidth over the allotment is charged nominally at $0.50GB Monthly.

All accounts are allocated 10GB for all content. The storage is comprised of the database, media content (images), plugin software and themes. We do not permit uploads of video’s without our consent. A short (under 100mb) is permissible but with the advent of youtube, vimeo and other free hosting services which allow you to embed the video easily on your site hosted by Wordsrack Inc. That said, most owners that have a regular business website could store 8000 high quality images and not go over the allocation. A $20.00 per month charge per extra 10GB (gigabyte) per website is available upon request.

WordsRack, Inc. shall have the right to take corrective action if Customer’s bandwidth or disk usage exceeds the Agreed Usage. Such corrective action may include the assessment of additional charges, disconnection or discontinuance of any and all Services, or termination of this Agreement, which actions may be taken is in WordsRack, Inc.’s sole and absolute discretion. If WordsRack, Inc. takes any corrective action under this section, Customer shall not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance prior to such action.

You, as WordsRack, Inc.’s customer, are solely responsible for the content stored on and served from your WordPress installation via our Nginx Ubuntu Servers.

By default Wordsrack keeps 2 weeks (14 days) of database backups that can be made available along with a copy of the entire /wp-content folder for migration to another service or used to restore your site to a prior time (last 14 days). It is your sole responsibility to ensure your site is up to date and if your data does get corrupted that it is well within that window of 14 days so an emergency restoration can be completed. Any new data, posts, pages or content authored “after” the restoration database copy date will be lost. You should keep a local copy of your content (pages, blog posts etc in Google Drive or One Drive for safekeeping). It is a good and best practice to author content in the cloud and to store images as well that are on your live site.

Enterprise clients have their data backed up as often as every 1-4 hours and a set of 1-12 month(s) – or infinite, data snapshots as required by the client. Each enterprise setup may include proprietary software and processes/procedures that will not work in another server environment and cannot be transferred away in a back up.

The AUP may be changed from time to time at the discretion of WordsRack, Inc. Subscriber understands that change to the AUP by WordsRack, Inc. shall not be grounds for early contract termination or non-payment.
