NEWS RELEASES

Certain sections of Owl Hosting news releases may contain forward-looking statements projecting future events, such as new software incorporations, updates, promotions, hosting introductions, etc. It is possible that these statements may deviate from the actual circumstances, since they are treated as intentions and express expectations and approximate plans of action regarding the relevant forthcoming events.

Forward Looking Statements can be recognized by the availability of indicative words such as "believes", “anticipates," "plans," "may," "hopes," "can," "will," "expects," "is designed to," "with the intent," "potential", etc. However, their availability is not a prerequisite for a forward-looking statement to be treated as such.
NON-REFUNDABLE SERVICES

Non-Refundable Services: All service upgrades and plan renewal services purchased from the Web Hosting Control Panel. All single-year or multi-year domain registration or transfer services purchased at sign-up or from the Web Hosting Control Panel.

All domain registrations and domain transfers are final, do not include any money-back guarantee and will be subject to a fee that is calculated on the basis of the actual NON-PROMOTIONAL annual price of the purchased domain's TLD, multiplied by the number of years of registration or transfer. Any refund amount credited back to the Customer in accordance with our 30-day money back guarantee will not include the cost of the non-refundable services (if any) that have been purchased with the Customer's web hosting plan upon sign-up (i.e. the Customer will be issued a partial refund on the original transaction if he/she has purchased non-refundable services within the web hosting account). A table containing the annual NON-PROMOTIONAL prices of all domain names offered by Owl Hosting is located in section 3 of this legal document.

CHARGEBACKS

Chargebacks are not considered as a way of refunding. Any Customer who initiates a credit card chargeback in response to a bill or order placed at Owl Hosting (and respectively - LiquidNet Ltd.) will be subject to full investigation.

When signing up for a web hosting account with Owl Hosting, customers agree to the conditions explicated in our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and the Web Hosting Terms of Service (this document). Thus, Owl Hosting, as well as our authorized retailers (PayPal, WorldPay, 2CheckOut), will resort to these documents as an evidence for the Customer's agreement, especially in the event that a Customer sends a chargeback inquiry based on points that he/or she first accepted, but is trying now to refute.

If/When a chargeback report is received, the first step of our Owl Hosting team will be to try to contact the user. Meanwhile, the user account will be suspended (in order to protect our system from fraudulent activity and misuse) and will remain suspended until the reasons for the chargeback have been clarified and decision has been taken for according action.

If the chargeback has occurred due to some misunderstanding, a reverse payment procedure will be initiated with our authorized retailers and the account will be re-activated.

If the user has sent a chargeback request based on groundless argumentation (to our own judgment and these Web Hosting Terms of Service), then a dispute will be started with our authorized retailers in which the Web Hosting Terms of Service (this document) and the Acceptable Use Policy of Owl Hosting will serve as proof of the Customer's agreement. The retailers then, taking into consideration all provisions in these legal documents, will decide whether the Customer has had sufficient grounds for the chargeback or Owl Hosting has the right to a reverse payment.

In case that the chargeback originates from a fraudulent user and no reverse payment procedure can be initiated, then the respective hosting account will remain suspended.
CANCELLATION, REFUNDS & CHARGEBACKS

CANCELLATION & REFUNDS
Owl Hosting accounts are set up on a prepay basis. Owl Hosting customers may decide to cancel their accounts at any time, however they will get a full refund of the service only if the cancellation request is made within 30 days of purchasing of the account, according to our Money Back Guarantee Policy

To cancel an account, the Customer needs to send an e-mail or support ticket to our Sales Department and provide any authentication credentials requested by Owl Hosting. Other forms of cancellation requests will not be accepted. Any incentives (free bonuses, etc.) offered to the Customer upon sign-up will be also cancelled.

Domain name registrations/transfers, service upgrades and web hosting plan renewals are treated as non-refundable services (see below) and cannot be cancelled or refunded after being activated upon customer request. The Customer will have the opportunity to transfer his/her domain away to another host.

Late cancellations, as well as accounts cancelled by LiquidNet Ltd. due to TOS violations (where the customer has decided not to fix the violation) do not qualify for the 30-day money back guarantee.

All credit requests for VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discovery payments are processed within 48 hours of the submission of the refund request (by e-mail or ticket, as mentioned above). The funds will be credited back to the Customer's credit/debit card and affect the Customer's credit/debit card balance in accordance with the credit/debit card issuer's terms of service.

All credit requests for PayPal payments are processed within 48 hours of the submission of the refund request (by e-mail or ticket, as mentioned above). The funds will be credited back to the Customer's PayPal account and affect the Customer's PayPal balance in accordance with the PayPal's terms of service.
THIRD PARTY DEALINGS

Any dealings with third parties (including advertisers) carried out through Owl Hosting Services, including participation in promotions, payment for goods and services, and/or any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings or promotions, are solely between the Customer and the advertiser or the other third party. Owl Hosting shall not be responsible or liable for any part of such dealings or promotions.

Each Customer empowers Owl Hosting to reproduce, copy, use and propagate all and any part of the Customer Content for ensuring and operating the Services. Owl Hosting is granted the right to estimate, at its own discretion, the extent to which these operations need to be carried out.
NO UNLAWFUL OR PROHIBITED USE

As a condition for customer use of Owl Hosting Services, You - the Customer, agree that you will not use Owl Hosting Services for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these terms, conditions, and notices, and/or our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). Owl Hosting servers can be used explicitly and only for legal purposes, and each attempt for taking indecent advantage of the servers, inconsistent with the rules, will be immediately counteracted.

Customers are solely responsible for the content of their messages. Using Owl Hosting Services in connection with surveys, contests, pyramid schemes, chain letters, junk e-mail, spamming or any duplicative or unsolicited messages (commercial or other) is prohibited.

In this light, Owl Hosting expressly forbids any breach of Federal, State or Local regulation, including, but not limited to, the transmission of: copyrighted material, material legally judged to be threatening or obscene, and material protected by trade secrets. Owl Hosting servers CANNOT be used for the propagation, distribution, housing, processing, storing, or handling in any way of lewd, obscene, adult or pornographic material, or any other material which is considered impermissible by the company's Terms of Service (this document) and Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). Customers may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any Owl Hosting Services, other accounts, computer systems or networks connected to any Owl Hosting Services, through hacking, password mining or other means. Customers may not obtain or attempt to obtain any materials or information through any means not intentionally made available by Owl Hosting Services.

Owl Hosting's management will thoroughly scrutinize all received orders and decide, to their own discretion, which of them do not comply with the officially stated requirements for use of the company servers. Owl Hosting reserves the right to refuse service to unlawful parties. Owl Hosting reserves the right at all times to disclose any information, as Owl Hosting deems necessary, to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in the sole discretion of Owl Hosting.
SERVER USAGE & HOSTED CONTENT

Server content MUST comply with the parameters stated in this TOS and our AUP (Acceptable Use Policy). Web content requirements exclude the publication of illegal content or content considered inappropriate otherwise. If any of Owl Hosting Services are used for the illegal purpose of SPAM or UCE, then they will be terminated instantaneously. Owl Hosting expressly bans the use of any Owl Hosting hardware or software hosted on a Owl Hosting server for trying to illegally access another hosted machine or network. For more detailed information regarding all prohibited uses of our server network, please closely review next chapter of these Terms and our AUP (Acceptable Use Policy). If you still have inquiries over the matter, feel free to contact a Owl Hosting Service representative.

Using Owl Hosting temporary URL - supremeserver.com - is not defined as a bandwidth stealing. However customers should not rely on Owl Hosting temporary URL - supremeserver.com - as a basic URL. Traffic processing there is not recommendable. Owl Hosting cannot and will not be held responsible for changing it afterwards. Customers are advised to use it temporarily and redirect their traffic to their own domains.
E-mails - Customers are NOT allowed to send more than 300 e-mails per hour and/or 1500 e-mails per day per hosting account.

File Quota - The file quota (the maximum amount of files to be hosted in a single web hosting account) is different for each web hosting plan. The Business plan is entitled to host maximum 150,000 files and the Corporate plan - up to 300,000 files. The Enterprise plan allows customers to host up to 450,000 files. All other plans are allowed to host 50,000 files.

Disk Space & Traffic - Owl Hosting offers generous amounts of disk space and network bandwidth. Customers must not allow other websites or hosting servers to link to files stored in their hosting accounts, and thus steal network traffic. In order to escape unjust distribution of the resources, as well as possible sharing of illegal content, Customers are not allowed to use their hosting accounts as a remote storage server only or solely for the purpose of sharing (un)archived images, programs or sound files. At least 80% of all files and/or total megabytes used (including MP3, WAV, RA, GIF, JPG, ZIP, RAR, but not limited to these file types) in each hosting account must be a part of actual, active website content, i.e. all content files must have corresponding HTML or PHP files that link to them. Furthermore, these files may amount to no more than 50% of the customer's total monthly traffic usage. Upon request, each Customer must be able to prove that a given file is a constituent part of an actual page and not only stored on the server within 24 hours of the request.

MySQL usage - each database hosted in our system can be used only by the user who created it. Another user, whose account is hosted on the same or on another server, cannot use the database created in the first-mentioned customer account. The MySQL database has a limit of 45,000 queries per hour. If you have reached 45,000 queries per a given hour, you will not be able to make any more queries. In the next hour you will have access to the database again and the counter will be reset. You can make a maximum of 15 simultaneous connections to a MySQL database.

Access and error logs - The access and error logs for all client's hosts in one account should not exceed 500 MB in total.
ACCOUNT USAGE

CPU usage (or usage of the Central Processing Unit(s) of the web server the customer's account is hosted on) - The CPU usage is subject to some regulations. Each hosting account can use up to 10% of the CPU power for no longer than 180 seconds at any given time, and/or the percentage given per 24 hours in the features configuration of the Customer's plan. Owl Hosting's web hosting plans include the following CPU quotas (per 24 hours)

Web Hosting Plan Name CPU Limit
Enterprise 7%
Corporate 5.5%
Business 4.5%
Owl Hosting strongly recommends that customers be very judicious when using the CPU power for their accounts. We reserve the right to block files or scripts that excessively use CPU. We may suspend also the Customer account in the case of registered impact on other accounts on the server or disturbance caused to its functioning. If we do block or suspend an account, then its owner will be notified of the situation and given an explanation, and/or offered to upgrade to a dedicated or a semi-dedicated web hosting solution
Customers will receive a password and account designation upon completing of the registration process of the Service. Customers are responsible for keeping the confidentiality of their passwords and accounts, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under that password or account. Customers agree to: a) immediately notify Owl Hosting about any unauthorized use of their password or account or any other breach of security; b) ensure that they safely exit (log out from) their account at the end of each session. Owl Hosting cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage of account information arising from Customer's failure to comply with this provision.

If a hosting account is registered with details different than those of the person who paid for the account, and in the case of any dispute, Owl Hosting will take the side of the person who paid for the account and shall not provide access to any other person, since - a hosting account owner is and will be considered to be the credit card /PayPal account holder.

If the hosting account owner deceased prior to the expiration of his/her account Owl Hosting will require death certificate or any other legal document that can provide an official evidence for that fact. Those who supply that information will be held legally responsible if the information is false or incorrect. Once such documents are obtained, Owl Hosting will be the sole arbiter in assessing whether the documents are authentic or not. A record of the obtained documents will be kept until the expiration of the hosting account.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT

In consideration of their use of the Service, customers agree to:

Provide true, accurate, current and complete information about themselves as prompted by the registration form of the Service. Maintain and promptly update their registration data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If the customer provides any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Owl Hosting has reasonable grounds (at its sole discretion) to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Owl Hosting has the right to suspend or terminate the customer's account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). If untrue details are used in order to avoid VAT the customer can be held responsible by the respective national tax collecting agency.

When introducing any changes to their contact details, customers are obliged to notify Owl Hosting in the course of 10 business days after the changes become valid. The introduction of changes should be done online through the customers' Web Hosting Control Panel, not via e-mail. This requirement is also in force for Owl Hosting, i.e. customers will be always aware of any contact information changes that the company places within its website. This way, flawless communication between both sides is guaranteed.
Customers are advised to renew their domain registrations before their domain names are placed into redemption. When a domain name transits in redemption period, we are not able any more to prevent its zone files from being removed from the DNS system, and the customer's web site and any associated services will stop working.

During a domain name's redemption period, we can assist the customer in retrieving his/her domain name from deletion only if the domain name was registered with us. The customer will need to pay a REDEMPTION FEE of $180.00 USD for the domain registration renewal (the redemption fee is imposed by our Registrar). If the domain name was registered with another registrar, the customer needs to contact that registrar for more information regarding its retrieving.
The domain name Redemption Grace Period (RGP) is a registry level period of up to 30 days after the domain name's expiration date. During this period the domain name is kept on hold by the Registrar before it gets deleted. The domain registrant is allowed to retrieve the domain name from deletion, but this process costs additional redemption fee. This extra 30-day period extends the time available for renewing domain names. However, all domains that enter a redemption period are removed from the zone files (the list of domain names currently in the global DNS), therefore any web site or e-mail services associated with the domain name will stop working.

Extended Redemption Grace Period - the extended redemption grace period adds another 7 - 30 days to the domain name's redemption period. During this period the domain name owner is allowed to retrieve the domain name from deletion by contacting the domain's registrar.

After the redemption period of an expired domain name is finished, comes the Pending Delete Period - a registry level period of up to 5 days during which no one is allowed to renew the domain name and it cannot be newly registered because it's still not returned to the public pool of domain names.

Released by Registry Period - the domain name is sent back into the public pool of domain names and is newly available for registration.
SERVICE EXPIRATION AND RENEWAL

HOSTING SERVICE
The hosting service is active for one year (365 days). After the expiration of that period, the account will be automatically suspended and will remain suspended until the Customer renews it by paying its annual subscription fee. In case that the Customer does not renew his/her hosting account, it will remain BLOCKED. The account data will be kept for two months, after that it will be permanently deleted.

E-mail notifications regarding each account's expiration are dispatched twice - 14 days and 7 days prior to the expiration date of the account. In order to receive the notifications, the Customer must provide a valid e-mail address. Owl Hosting ensures that the e-mails are sent and takes no responsibility for e-mails that are not delivered due to problems with the recipient's e-mail address.


Domain names are valid for the number of years of their registration (domain names can be registered for the period of 1 to 10 years, depending on their TLD - top-level domain name - extension). After an expiration of a domain name several stages follow regarding its renewal.
ACCOUNT/DATA BACKUP

Our backup service is provided as a courtesy to you and therefore, Owl Hosting will be in no way held responsible for the files stored in your account. You, as a customer, agree to take full responsibility for all the files in your account and to maintain an appropriate backup of the data stored on our servers. We will back up the files located in the /www folder of your account, as well as the databases you have created.

IMPORTANT: The default available backup disk storage space for each customer is 5 GB. User accounts with content over 5 GB cannot be (partially or entirely) backed up. Additional space for backup purposes is available under our Upgrade section in the Control Panel. We provide backup services only to accounts with disk space usage below the purchased backup quota limit. For example, if the purchased data backup quota amounts to 20 GB, we will back up your files as long as your account's disk usage is below the 20 GB quota limit. As soon as it goes above 20 GB of data - the backup script will no longer back up any of your files.
SERVICE GUARANTEES

Owl Hosting guarantees 99.9% network uptime and server stability. This, however, does not refer to problems stemming from:

Server Hardware Breakdown;

User error(s) or purposeful interruption(s) of the user service (e.g. if the client shuts his/her own server down, Owl Hosting is not responsible for the downtime);

Failure due to software that is not explicitly supported by Owl Hosting. If a hardware crash provoked by the customer consequently occurs, Owl Hosting is beyond the control and responsibility for the resulting downtime.

For more information, please read our Service Level Guarantees.
SERVICE PAYMENT

When signing up for an account with Owl Hosting, the Customer agrees to pay for the period of one year (365 days) and abide by our Order Verification Policy. Our Sales Department will strictly scrutinize each account order and carefully processes each payment in order to ensure that no fraudulent user can take advantage of our web hosting system.

Owl Hosting will charge customers with fees based on the fee structure of our web hosting system at the time of the sign-up process. Owl Hosting reserves the right to introduce price changes to the packages when needed. This means that the current price list at our web store may differ from the pricing of your web hosting account.

Each customer of ours will be able to take advantage of the package he/she has purchased at the introductory price levels, and with one and the same set of features in the course of the whole contract period. Owl Hosting reserves the right to introduce certain changes to the packages (in the form of complementary services) to the benefit of the customers.

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE POLICY

Owl Hosting offers a 30-day money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with our hosting services, you can submit a refund request in a trouble ticket opened from your web hosting control panel, or via email sent to billing@duoservers.com, and receive full refund for your hosting plan within 30 days of the purchasing of the account. Please, NOTE that domain name registrations/transfers are non-refundable services (for more information see chapter 10 of this document).
Owl Hosting HOSTING SERVICES

A web hosting service is a type of Internet service that offers individuals and organizations/companies the resources to host their own web sites and store information, images, video, and other content accessible via the World Wide Web.

Owl Hosting offers only web hosting services, not data storage services. A web hosting service consists of the following:

SERVICE FEATURES

Disk Space - We use a clustered storage technology. This means that the storage resources of a hosting plan purchased from us are not confined to a single server, but are distributed between multiple machines. This way optimal performance is guaranteed and higher server stability. It also ensures that you will be able to avail of all the storage quota that has been assigned to your particular account. Additional disk space is available as an upgrade option. Payment is accepted only in advance per year. Contact sales for more information.

Traffic - Each hosting plan includes prepaid monthly traffic in Megabytes. This traffic quota is shared between all sites hosted in a single account. In case that a hosting account exceeds its allowed traffic quota, it will be suspended until the beginning of next month when the quota will refresh automatically. Additional traffic is available as upgrade. Contact sales for more information.

Hosted Domains - Owl Hosting's hosting plans include domain hosting. Each hosting plan allows a particular number of domains that can be hosted.

Domain Registration/Transfer - available at regular or a discounted price (depending on the chosen TLD) with the purchasing of a web hosting account. Each account can host a maximum of one discounted domain name. Domain registrations are final and are not subject to refund. More information regarding domain names can be found further in this TOS (Terms of Service), in our Domain Name Registration Agreement and in the Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy.

E-mail accounts - different number of e-mail accounts are available for setup with each web hosting plan.

MySQL/PostgreSQL Database(s) - MySQL databases are included in all web hosting plans. Additional databases are available as upgrade. PostgreSQL databases can be either included or optional. Contact sales for more information.

Database Storage - Each hosting account has a limit of database storage. This storage is shared between all the databases in a single hosting account. Additional database storage is available. Contact sales for pricing.

IP Address - Owl Hosting hosting accounts do not include IP addresses. For many customers IP address is important for starting SSL hosts, that's why we allow the purchasing of IP addresses. Payment is accepted only in advance per year. Contact sales for more information.

SSH - In case your hosting account does not include SSH, please contact sales department for more information on how to obtain it. Payment is accepted only in advance per year.

ID Protection - This service ensures that your private contact information will not be visible in the domain's WHOIS details. Optional for all hosting plans, but available only with certain TLDs, supporting this option.

Detailed information about all features included in our web hosting packages is available on our web hosting plan pages.
