IMPORTANT NOTICE: *All Payments to C.O.D. Webhosting (Computing on Demand) are Non-Refundable*

Computing on Demand. (“C.O.D. Webhosting”, “The Company”) agrees to furnish services to the Subscriber, subject to the following TOS (Terms of Service).

Use of C.O.D. Webhosting Services constitutes acceptance and agreement to C.O.D. Webhosting’s AUP (Authorized Usage Policy) as well as C.O.D. Webhosting’s TOS (Terms of Service).

All provisions of this contract are subject to the TOS and AUP of C.O.D. Webhosting. The AUP may be changed from time to time at the discretion of the Company. Subscriber understands that change to the AUP by the Company shall not be grounds for early contract termination or non-payment.

This Agreement shall be construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey and the United States of America.

Disclosure to Law Enforcement: The AUP specifically prohibits the use of our service for illegal activities. Therefore, Subscriber agrees that the Company may disclose any and all subscriber information including assigned IP numbers, account history, account use, etc. to United States law enforcement agents without consent or notification to the Subscriber. C.O.D. Webhosting will not disclose subscriber information to third-party or international agencies unless a U.S. court order is obtained. In addition, C.O.D. Webhosting shall have the right to terminate all service set forth in this Agreement.

  1. Service Rates: Subscriber acknowledges that the nature of the service furnished and the initial rates and charges have been communicated to Subscriber. Subscriber is aware that the Company may prospectively change the specified rates and charges from time to time. The promotional offer is contingent upon Company achieving and maintaining its cost of service goals including but not limited to rates charged to company by its suppliers.
  2. Payment: Establishment of this service is dependent upon receipt by the Company of payment of stated charges. Subsequent payments are due on the anniversary date of the month for that month’s service. All accounts and services provided by C.O.D. Webhosting are subject to the current tax rate as imposed by the State of New Jersey and the United States of America
  3. Payments and Fees: Service will be suspended on accounts that reach 5 days past due and a 10% late fee will be added to the outstanding balance.
    1. Once a bill is 2 days overdue, service will enter into a ‘suspended state’. In the ‘suspended state’ client data will not be in jeopardy. Services will be terminated on accounts that reach 10 days past due. Once a Cloud or VPS service enters the ‘terminated state’, data will be lost as the entire virtual instance gets automatically deleted. Dedicated servers entering into a ‘terminated state’ are in high-risk of data being lost (example: in the event of a server being re-provisioned).
  4. Refund and Disputes: All payments to C.O.D. Webhosting are non-refundable. This includes the one time setup fee and subsequent charges regardless of usage. All overcharges or billing disputes must be reported within 30 days of the time the dispute occurred. If you dispute a charge to your credit card issuer that, in The Company’s sole discretion is a valid charge under the provisions of the TOS and/or AUP, you agree to pay C.O.D. Webhosting an “Administrative Fee” of no less than $100.
  5. 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.
  6. Account Cancellation: All requests for canceling accounts must be made from the client portal. Upon the cancellation notice, C.O.D. Webhosting has the right to reclaim the server immediately. To keep servers online until the end of the billing cycle you must cancel the server on the due date.
  7. Subscriber acknowledges that the service provided is of such a nature that service can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of The Company and that damages resulting from any interruption of service are difficult to ascertain. Therefore, subscriber agrees that The Company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such causes beyond the direct and exclusive control of The Company. Subscriber further acknowledges that the company’s liability for its own negligence may not in any event exceed an amount equivalent to charges payable by subscriber for services during the period damages occurred. In no event shall the company be liable for any special or consequential damages, loss or injury.

Lastly, the Help files in the program you are using may have the answer to your question so please do investigate these resources before calling tech support.
  9. Inbound/Outbound DDoS Attacks: DDoS is an acronym for Distributed Denial of Service Attack. A type of denial of service attack in which an attacker uses malicious code installed on various computers to attack a single target. An attacker may use this method to have a greater effect on the target than is possible with a single attacking machine. As a C.O.D. Webhosting user, you are ultimately responsible for making sure that your account is secured, and that no root kits or viruses are on your server.
    1. Violation of this Inbound/Outbound DDoS policy will result in severe penalties.

Webhosting will invoice the client $5 per DDoS incident and initiate an immediate investigation. During the investigation, C.O.D. Webhosting may restrict customer access to the network to prevent further violations. If a customer is found to be in violation of our DDoS policy, C.O.D. Webhosting may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate customer’s account
    2. As our Customers are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients over the C.O.D. Webhosting network, it is advisable that Customers develop a similar, or stricter, policy for their clients.
  10. SPAM and Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE):  C.O.D. Webhosting takes a zero-tolerance approach to the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) or SPAM over our network. Very simply this means that customers of The Company may not use or permit others to use our network to transact in UCE. Customers of C.O.D. Webhosting may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by UCE from other networks. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service.

  11. IMPORTANT NOTICE: EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, anyone hosting websites or services on their server that support spammers or cause any of our IP space to be listed in any of the various Spam Databases will have their server immediately removed from our network. The server will not be reconnected until such time that you agree to remove ANY and ALL traces of the offending material immediately upon reconnection and agree to allow us access to the server to confirm that all material has been COMPLETELY removed. Severe violations may result in immediate and permanent removal of the server from our network without notice to the customer. Any server guilty of a second violation WILL be immediately and permanently removed from our network without notice.

What this means to you is that you MUST use name-based hosting where possible. We will periodically review IP address usage, and if we find that clients are using IP addresses where name-based hosting could be used, we will revoke authorization to use those IP addresses that could be used with name-based hosting.
