2. 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. A Storage Service Provider (SSP) is a company that provides computer storage space and related management services. SSPs offer also periodic backup and archiving.  
   
   The Service Provider offers only web hosting services, not data storage services. A web hosting service consists of the following:  
   
   SERVICE FEATURES
   
   
   1. Disk Space - We employ NVMe technology for highly available storage, enhancing both performance and reliability. This architecture guarantees optimal efficiency, improved server stability, and seamless access to your allocated storage capacity. With the integration of NVMe technology, we elevate your hosting experience to meet the requirements of modern applications and data-intensive workloads. For additional disk space, you can choose to upgrade your plan. We accept payments on an annual basis in advance. For further details, please reach out to our sales team.
      
      
   2. 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.
      
      
   3. Hosted Domains - the Service Provider's hosting plans include domain hosting. Each hosting plan allows a particular number of domains that can be hosted.
      
      
   4. 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.
      
      
   5. E-mail accounts - different number of e-mail accounts are available for setup with each web hosting plan.  
      
      
   6. 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.
      
      
   7. Database Storage - Each hosting account offers unlimited MySQL database storage. However, accounts with very large single databases can affect the overall server performance. Thus, it's recommended that each database is kept under 200 MB in size. For accounts with databases over 500 MB in size, the Service Provider may request that the number of total database usage be reduced to ensure proper performance or may terminate the account, with or without notice.
      
      
   8. IP Address - the Service Provider's hosting accounts do not include dedicated IP addresses, unless listed in plan features. Dedicated IP addresses can be purchased at any time as an upgrade to the web hosting service provided by the Service Provieder. Dedicated IP addresses are purchased for a period of at least one year and are non-transferable to other web hosting providers. Contact sales for more information.
      
      NB: Please note that according to IANA - the entity that coordinates the global pool of IPs, newly requested dedicated IP addresses must be used within 7 days of their allocation. So, if you request a dedicated IP address from your Control Panel and do not assign it to a host within 7 days of the allocation date, then the IP address will be taken back to the global pool of IPs. If so, you will need to re-request the IP address from the Dedicated IP Addresses section of your Control Panel.
      
      NB: Due to IANA limitations for the Australian network space, dedicated IP address will not be available with a web hosting account which is ordered in the Australian data center.
      
      
   9. 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.  
      
      
   10. 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.
   
   INSTALLATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING
   
   Each customer will be able to take advantage of our Installation & Troubleshooting service upgrade. It allows users to get one-time expert assistance from our technical support team or system administrators for a period of 1 hour. The Installation & Troubleshooting is intended for:
   
   - Hacked sites cleaning and restoration service
   If you find your website hacked or reported to be infected you can rely on our help getting this fixed for you. This service included a backup of the current content, cleaning and/or restoring broken files from original script installation or restore from a previous copy.
   
   - Script, theme, plugin installation service
   If you need any software installation, theme/template or even plugin installation that you do not wish to deal with, we can do it for you. We will backup the current site (if any) and complete the desired installation for you.
   
   - Scripts troubleshooting and debugging services
   In case you have an issue with a software that you are unable to handle, we can do the troubleshooting and fix it for you.
   
   - Manual files, database or emails transfers between hosting accounts using our services. If you want to move a site or few over to another account we can handle the migration for you hassle free.
   
   The Installation & Troubleshooting will not apply in the following cases:
   
   - Our installation service covers only fresh installations (no upgrades). We will not perform custom work or upgrade to a recent version on an already existing scripts.
   - The service will not include any configuration of the scripts beyond their installation. After the scripts are being activated and operational any further tweaking and setup is done by the client.
   - We will only provide installation and troubleshooting if the hosting is provided by us on our Linux Based Servers. We do not provide the service for any Windows, Linux and MAC servers which are not powered and managed by us.
   - We don-t provide any warranties and will not be held responsible for any data loss or any script, theme, plugin not operating as intended.
   
   "UNLIMITED" USAGE POLICIES AND DEFINITIONS
   
   The term “UNLIMITED” is used to describe the amount of resources in the web hosting plans provided by the Service Provider, which is not set to a predefined limit value (for example - unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space, unlimited emails or other unlimited resources). By not setting limits on key resources, we are able to offer our customers a simple, consistent pricing scheme as their websites demand more and more resources. As a result, a typical website may experience periods of great popularity and a resulting increased storage need without experiencing any associated increase in hosting charges.
   
   In all cases, when a service is listed as “Unlimited“, it is intended for normal web hosting usage only - all activities, which may result in excessive resource usage inconsistent with regular usage patterns, are prohibited.
   
   Our Unlimited service offers are not designed to allow a single user to influence the overall server performance. The Service Provider will make every effort to provide its customers with additional resources whenever possible, including the relocation of a customer's hosting account to a newer, faster server. However, if the resource usage reaches a level where it may influence the overall server performance in a negative way, the Service Provider reserves the right to take corrective actions. Such actions may include disconnection or discontinuance of any and of all offered services, removal or deletion of customers' websites, website content, electronic mail, or termination of a customer's account according to the Service Provider's sole and absolute discretion.
   
   SERVICE PAYMENTS AND RECURRING CONTRACTS
   
   Each customer of the Service Provider 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. The Service Provider reserves the right to introduce certain changes to the packages (in the form of complementary services) to the benefit of the customers.
   
   The Service Provider will charge customers fees based on the fee structure of the web hosting system at the time of the sign-up process. The Service Provider reserves the right to introduce price changes to the packages when needed. This means that the current price list at the Service Provider's web store may differ from the pricing of the Customer's web hosting account.
   
   When signing up for an account with the Service Provider, the Customer agrees to pay for the period of one year (365 days) and abide by the Order Verification Policy. The Sales Department will strictly scrutinize each account order and carefully process each payment in order to ensure that no fraudulent user can take advantage of the web hosting system.
   
   When a Customer pays for a web hosting plan with a domain via credit card or PayPal, a 12-month recurring billing subscription will be created automatically for his convenience, for which He will get a notification from the payment processor. All automatic payments go through exactly 7 days before the due date so as to avoid any downtime to the hosting service if there is a problem with the credit card/PayPal account.
   
   The Service Provider will send a reminder of the due payment at least 24 hours before the automatic charge takes place.
   
   The Customer can cancel the subscription at any time from his Control Panel -> My Account -> Recurring, or directly through PayPal - if it's a PayPal account subscription.
   
   If the standard payment methods are not suitable for the Customer's needs, alternative options such as Revolut or cryptocurrency payments may be provided. Please reach out to the Sales team for further assistance in this regard.
   
   SERVICE GUARANTEES  
   
   The Service Provider guarantees 99.9% network uptime and server stability. This, however, does not refer to problems stemming from:  
   
   
   1. Server Hardware Breakdown;
      
      
   2. User error(s) or purposeful interruption(s) of the user service (e.g. if the client shuts his/her own server down, the Service Provider is not responsible for the downtime);
      
      
   3. Failure due to software that is not explicitly supported by the Service Provider. If a hardware crash provoked by the customer consequently occurs, the Service Provider is beyond the control and responsibility for the resulting downtime.
      
   
   For more information, please read our Service Level Guarantees.
   
   ACCOUNT/DATA BACKUP
   
   Our backup service is provided as a courtesy to you and therefore, the Service Provider 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. Backups are only kept for a period of 7 days. After this period, a backup cannot be restored.  
   
   General Backup: The default available backup disk storage space for each customer is 10 GB. User accounts with content over 10 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 does not exceed the 20 GB quota limit. As soon as this 20 GB quota limit has been reached - the backup script will no longer back up any of your files.
   
   Database Backup: Our database backup script WILL NOT back up databases, which contain more than 256 tables. Databases bigger than that take too much time and use too much of the server's resources to be backed up.
   
   SOCIAL MEDIA LOGIN
   
   In order to facilitate access to the Control Panel for your account with us, you can set up Social Media Login, i.e. - logging in with a social media account of your choice in lie of logging in with your username and password.
   
   This is a voluntary process and requires you to provide us with your social media details, which will then be stored in our system and used just and only for associating your social media profile with your hosting account.
   
   At any moment you can remove all social media details from our system using the bucket icon next to them. Otherwise, they will be retained in our system until your account is terminated.
   
   In order to learn more about how we process your data, you can see our Privacy Policy.

   All customer's data will be kept for up to 30 days after the end of the free trial period. In case that the customer does not complete the order procedure within that period, the data will be deleted from our servers.

   SERVICE ACTIVATION
   
   For newly signed up clients - the services are activated immediately after our Sales Department gets in touch with the customer over the phone to verify the payment details (this is required due to the high fraud activity spreading online, and in order to be prevent fraudulent orders). The payment verification procedure is obligatory and if we fail to approve a transaction within 48 hours of the payment submission, the funds will be credited back to the payer and the order will be cancelled.  
   
   For existing customers - the services for existing customers, including upgrade services and renewals, are activated immediately after our Sales Department receives the according service payment.

4. FREE DOMAIN NAME PROMOTION
   
   The Service Provider occasionally runs promotions offering FREE domain names to customers signing up for a new web hosting account. This special offer is valid only with our PROMOTIONAL TLDs. However, in case that the money-back guarantee option is used, the domain name must be paid ($9.95 per year per domain name). The domain name owner will have access to a domain management account, and will be able to transfer the domain name to another registrar.

5. 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. The Service Provider 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
   
   

   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.

   • The domain name Redemption Grace Period (RGP) is a registry level period that starts about 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. The RGP fee depends on the given TLD and on the registrar through which it is registered as follows:
     
     

     Registrar	TLD	RGP fee
     LiquidNet	.com, .net, .org, .info, .biz	$90.00
     LogicBoxes	.us, .in, .cc, .tv	$90.00
     EURid	.eu	$20.00
     eNom	.com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .co, .asia, .ca, .name, .mobi, .tw, .com.tw, .org.tw, .idv.tw, .pro, .me	$270.00

     The RGP period extends the time available for renewing domain names. However, any web site or e-mail services associated with the domain name will stop working and the domains that enter a redemption period may be removed from the zone files (the list of domain names currently in the global DNS).

   • After the Redemption Grace Period (or the renewal period – if RGP is not applicable) has passed, domain name(s) enter the so called ERGP (Extended Redemption Grace Period). During the first 120 days of the period in which the domain name is appointed to its ERGP period you are allowed to redeem the domain name and take ownership once again if you pay the fee for redeeming the domain name with all registration fees. When the 120 period lapses and you have not redeemed the domain name, the domain name will be considered deserted and you would have no further rights over the domain name registration.
     
     At that point domain name(s) can be: provided to third parties; the Service Provider may choose to auction the domain name(s); the Service Provider may return them in the public registration pool. All of these actions can be carried out at any time and without your consent.

   • 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.

   
   

   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 (see the table above for more information) 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.

6. 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 the Service Provider has reasonable grounds (at its sole discretion) to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, the Service Provider 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 the Service Provider 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 the Service Provider, 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 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 the Service Provider 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. The Service Provider 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, the Service Provider 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 the Service Provider 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, the Service Provider 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.

   
   

   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. The Service Provider's web hosting plans include the following CPU quotas (per 24 hours).

     Web Hosting Plan Name	CPU Limit
     Enterprise	10%
     Corporate	7%
     Business	5%
     Starter	5%

     The Service Provider 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

   • Emails
     Users are not allowed to:

     • send more than 1500 emails per day / 150 emails per hour per hosting account (each email can be sent to a maximum of 50 recipients, as each unique recipient will be counted as one message sent);
     • send more than 300 emails per day / 50 emails per hour per mailbox;
       • If you consistently or abruptly exceed these limits, they can be lowered permanently to as low as 10 emails per day / 10 emails per hour and/or SMTP could be disabled until the issue is fixed.
       • If you need to send more emails per day / hour than the specified limits, you can open a support ticket so that your case can be reviewed.
     • send more than 1500 emails a day using a mailing list (or 1 email to 1500 subscribers, respectively).
     
     Repeat violations of the limits listed above can result in IP restrictions or, in extreme cases, denial of email service.

     By default, each email account is entitled to 10 GB of storage space. You can modify or remove the storage quota for email accounts trough the Web Hosting Control Panel. Keep in mind that all active email accounts under a hosting account must not exceed 40 GB in size. Only the Enterprise plan has an email storage quota of 60 GB. Each email account can host up to 200.000 stored messages.

     Several specific limitations apply to the Domain Manager plan-included email service such as a maximum of 250 outbound emails per day/25 emails per hour. It also has an email storage quota of 500 MB and a limit of 3 mailboxes.

     Your can see the specific disk storage quota allocation and the number of emails allowed in the Account Usage table in the Web Hosting Control Panel.

     You can manage as many mailboxes as you need under one account as long as you do not interfere with the other users on the server. However, if there are more than 3000 mailboxes in a given hosting account, its owner can cause high server load by just modifying a password or changing an alias.

     If a particular mailbox simultaneously accommodates multiple emails and its owner often often executes changes like the ones mentioned above, then we'll be forced to disable that account and ask the respective client to migrate to a more resource-rich type of a hosting environment where mailbox modification operations cannot lead to server performance issues.

   • File Quota - There is no file quota limit for any one of our web hosting packages. You are allowed to have an unlimited number of files in your hosting account.

   • Disk Space & Traffic - the Service Provider 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(s) content, i.e. all content files must have corresponding HTML or PHP files that link to them. Audio, graphics, video, backup and/or archive files, such as .zip, .tar.gz, etc., must not exceed 50 GB and must not consume more than 25% of the web hosting disk space. Furthermore, such media 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. If the client fails to react within 24 hours after the request and does not remove the file/files in question, or if the apportioned traffic quota continues to be used for such purposes - the Provider reserves the right to suspend the account and/or to remove the aforesaid content from the server. In such cases, refunds are not applicable and the money-back guarantee is no longer valid.

   • 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.

   • RAM quota - each account is allowed to use up to 2 GB RAM.

   • PHP processes - each account is allowed up to 100 concurrent PHP processes.

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

   
   

   "UNLIMITED" USAGE POLICIES AND DEFINITIONS

   
   

   The term “UNLIMITED” is used to describe the amount of resources in the web hosting plans provided by the Service Provider, which is not set to a predefined limit value (for example - unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space, unlimited emails or other unlimited resources). By not setting limits on key resources, we are able to offer our customers a simple, consistent pricing scheme as their websites demand more and more resources. As a result, a typical website may experience periods of great popularity and a resulting increased storage need without experiencing any associated increase in hosting charges.
   
   In all cases, when a service is listed as “Unlimited“, it is intended for normal web hosting usage only - all activities, which may result in excessive resource usage inconsistent with regular usage patterns, are prohibited.
   
   Our Unlimited service offers are not designed to allow a single user to influence the overall server performance. The Service Provider will make every effort to provide its customers with additional resources whenever possible, including the relocation of a customer's hosting account to a newer, faster server. However, if the resource usage reaches a level where it may influence the overall server performance in a negative way, the Service Provider reserves the right to take corrective actions. Such actions may include disconnection or discontinuance of any and of all offered services, removal or deletion of customers' websites, website content, electronic mail, or termination of a customer's account according to the Service Provider's sole and absolute discretion.

   • Using If your website has been hacked/ infected with malicious content, we reserve the right to access your hosting account and delete the corrupted files. In this case, there will be no need for your account to be suspended. This way, your website(s) will be brought back to their normal state and you will be able to continue using our service.

   • Using the Service Provider temporary URL is not defined as a bandwidth stealing. However customers should not rely on the Service Provider's temporary URL as a basic URL. Traffic processing there is not recommendable. The Service Provider 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.

    Non-Refundable Services: all service upgrades, wallet refills and plan renewal services purchased from the Web Hosting Control Panel; all 1-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.

A table containing the annual NON-PROMOTIONAL prices of all domain names offered by the Service Provider is located in section 3 of this legal document.

    
    

    CHARGEBACKS

    
    

    Chargebacks are not used for processing refunds. If a customer chooses to start a payment dispute for a purchase made at Host Matrix Global, a thorough investigation will be conducted.

    By signing up for Host Matrix Global’s services, the customer is acknowledging and accepting the terms outlined in both the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and the Web Hosting Terms of Service, which serve as evidence of the customer's agreement. In cases where a customer files a chargeback with their credit card issuer, claiming to dispute points they had initially agreed to, Host Matrix Global and its authorized retailers (PayPal and Stripe) will refer back to these documents for clarification and resolution.

    If a chargeback is initiated, the customer’s account will be temporarily deactivated to prevent fraudulent activity and misuse. The account will remain suspended until the reasons for the chargeback are investigated and appropriate action is determined.

    Common chargeback resolution scenarios:

    1. If a chargeback occurs due to misunderstanding, the customer will be required to close the case with PayPal/the issuing bank, so Host Matrix Global can initiate a reverse payment process with its authorized retailers, and reactivate the account.
    2. In the event that a customer submits a chargeback request using unfounded claims, as determined by our own assessment and the aforementioned documentation, Host Matrix Global will initiate a dispute with its authorized retailers.
       
       The retailers will carefully review all clauses within the aforementioned legal documents to determine whether there were legitimate grounds for the chargeback or if Host Matrix Global is entitled to receive a reverse payment.
       
       While the chargeback procedure is underway, the customer will be able to have their account reactivated and services restored by covering the initial service costs along with a non-refundable fee of $30.00 USD. This fee can only be paid via bank wire transfer.
       

    Non-Refundable Dispute Fee and Its Purpose

    In order to facilitate effective dispute resolution, Host Matrix Global imposes a non-refundable Dispute Fee on transactions initiated by PayPal customers or customers using a Credit/Debit cart Checkout.

    This Dispute Fee is applicable to such transactions in two key scenarios:

    • PayPal Dispute: When a customer directly initiates a dispute through PayPal's platform.
    • Chargeback or Bank Reversal: When a customer opts to file a chargeback with their credit card issuer or initiates a reversal with their banking institution.

    This Non-Refundable Dispute Fee is intended to cover the costs associated with managing and overseeing dispute resolution. It enables us to investigate and address disputes promptly, thereby ensuring a fair and transparent resolution for all parties involved. The Dispute Fee is an essential component in supporting our ongoing efforts to maintain a secure and reliable platform for our valued customers.
