Refund Policy

Only all hosting services rendered by Host Draco Networks are eligible for a limited refund. Refund covers the Hosting service plan itself, and does not include any other services such as ssl certificate, domain registration etc. Refunds are only offered within 25-days of account registration, and only applies to the first service of a new client. Additional orders are not eligible for a refund. For example, if you’ve had an account with us before, canceled and signed up again, or if you have opened a second account with us, you will not be eligible for a refund. Violations of this Agreement will waive your rights under the refund policy. Services that are suspended or terminated due to non-compliance of the AUP and TOS are not eligible for refunds. Refunds will be applicable for valid reason only which can’t be solved by us. If you do misbehave with the Support Team (over Chat/Ticket/Phone/Email) that will also waive the refund policy.

Disputes and Chargebacks

The Customer acknowledges that any attempt to dispute or initiate a chargeback with their Credit/Debit Card issuer will result in a suspension of all services and a fine of $100 will be assessed to the customer’s account. A chargeback imposed under false pretenses is considered Fraudulent and will be treated as such.

Data and Backups

We perform weekly backups on all of our servers to ensure critical files are never lost. Our servers having Hardware Raid10 array enabled Harddrives, so primary drives data also mirroring on secondary drives. Our server does not create daily backups for users sites, you must manually create a backup that you may download on your own, we do not restore a file any user has accidentally deleted or modified. The back-up restoration is for emergency procedures only. You are advised to backup all of your own files to your local drive. We are not responsible for lost data, time, income or any other resource due to faulty backups or non-existent back-ups.

Transfer / Migration

Our transfers team will make every effort to help you move your site to us. However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and we can not make guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete an account transfer. Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult if not 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. Free transfer facilities are available for 30 days from your sign up date. Transfers outside of the 30 day free period will incur a charge; please contact a member of the transfers department with specific details to receive a price quote. HostDraco reserves the right to migrate your account from one data center to another in order to comply with applicable data center policies, local law or for technical or other reasons without notice.

Usage and Overages

Our service plans are designed to accommodate the majority of usage scenarios given the needs of our customers. However, your usage may vary and require additional allocations, specifically in the areas of storage and traffic. We will never charge your card automatically if your account requires more resources. You must keep your email address updated within your cPanel, so that you may receive an email when your account reaches certain limits determined solely by our system, ie. bandwidth exceed warning at 80% at which time you may contact us to purchase a higher transfer quota for your account. If you do not contact us, the system will suspend your site if your allotments exceed.

HostDraco Networks web hosting accounts are not to be used for the purposes of distributing and/or storing an unusual amount of files. We are a web hosting provider not a remote file storage provider. Any web site whose disk space usage for storing the files exceed 70% of its total usage, either in terms of total size or number of files, will be deemed to be using unusual amount of files. At that point, if we find that those files are illegal or harmful in any way, you will be notified. If you do not have any negative intentions such as causing harm to our server or to others with the files you keep, then you have nothing to worry about.

Customer’s programs and services may not use more than 90% of one CPU core per process thread for more than 15 minutes. Customer’s programs and services will be limited to 90% of 1 CPU core if found to be using more than 90% of one CPU core per process thread. Subscriber’s programs and services may not use more than 200% of two CPU cores for more than 2 minutes.
