Pricing and Payment Terms

 

CloudLinux reserves the right to change the monthly or yearly payment amount and any other charges at any time with 60 days written notice to the Customer.

Customers are responsible for updating the payment information, as well as completing payments for outstanding invoices in a timely manner. Invoices are due when generated by CloudLinux. If an invoice is past due for more than 30 days, Customers’ accounts will be locked and the specific service(s) associated with the overdue invoice will be suspended unless the outstanding invoice is settled.

If an invoice is past due for more than 90 days, CloudLinux has the right to cancel the Customer’s account and/or the specific service(s) associated with the overdue invoice by recording the outstanding amount as debt that must be paid off by the Customer in order to continue using CloudLinux service(s) in the future.

Thirty-Day Money Back Guarantee. If You are not completely satisfied with the Service(s) for any reason, You may cancel the Service(s) and request a refund of the money paid for the Service(s) by submitting a request to the Billing Department at any time during the thirty (30) day period following the purchase date.

Recurring payments. CloudLinux will refund the recurring payment for any cancellation requests submitted within 72 hours after the billing cycle started.

For refunds that are issued through wire transfers, a $30 processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

Customers are not eligible for a refund if: 1) the request for initial purchase is made outside of the thirty-day money-back guarantee period; or 2) the Customer did not purchase the Service(s) directly from CloudLinux.

If You request a refund for a subscription and it is approved, all licenses in the subscription will be terminated. Violations of CloudLinux Terms of Use will cause waiver of any refund associated with the provided services.

Chargeback Policy

Your account(s) associated with accepted chargebacks are immediately locked and canceled with all active services being terminated.

Any dispute to payment to CloudLinux, aka chargeback, will result in a $25.00 chargeback fee in addition to the disputed charge before the service can be restored. CloudLinux may request payments in cashier's check or wire transfer as the preferred payment method before restoring service. CloudLinux will not accept payments made by any other payment methods from Customers associated with the Fraud/No Authorization dispute category.
