The specific services chosen by you are referred to together as the “Service.” All of the services are Shared Services and are not exclusive for your use. You agree to use the Services in a way that respects the right of our other users to use the Services, and not to act in a way that unreasonably interferes with our ability to provide the Services to other users.

Certain aspects of the Service may be provided by third parties.

If a third party makes a change to its products, you may not terminate this TOS based on such a change, even if it materially affects the Service.

4. Terms

This TOS will continue for the term set out on the product page (Initial Term). After the expiration of the Initial Term, this TOS will renew for successive periods of equal length (Renewal Term). If the Product Page does not contain an Initial Term, the Initial Term shall be one month.

5. Payment

You are responsible for the fees and charges set out on the Product Page (Fees). You may be charged seven days prior to the date set out on the Product Page (Due Date).

Our obligation to provide the Service is contingent on your payment of the Fees by the Due Date. It is your responsibility to ensure that we receive payment of the Fees. You must pay the Fees without set off or deduction. Should the Service be suspended, for any reason, Fees will continue to accrue. If the Fees are not paid by your financial institution on the Due Date, your account will be considered delinquent. To reinstate your account, you will be required to pay, depending on the reason for the delinquency.

You may choose to purchase products and services that are not included in the Service but which are offered for sale by other parties through ITBHost (Third Party Services). Third Party Services may be billed separately from the Service. Fees for the Third Party Services may not be billed on the month on which they are delivered. You agree to pay for these Third Party Services regardless of the length of time elapsed between their delivery date and the date on which you are charged.

If you believe there is an error on your bill you must contact us in writing. We each agree to work together in good faith to resolve any billing disputes. Your dispute must include sufficient facts for us to investigate your claims and be received by us at least five days prior to the Due Date (Dispute Deadline). You waive your right to dispute any charges or Fees if you fail to meet Dispute Deadline. If we find that your claim is valid, we agree to credit the account that is the subject of the dispute the next time Fees are due. If you contact your credit card company, prior to notifying us of the dispute, and initiate a “charge back” based on this dispute, and your charge back claim is past the Dispute Deadline, you will be charged a investigation fee. This fee compensates us for the investigation your credit card issuer requires us to conduct in order to demonstrate our right to payment.

Either party may choose not to renew this TOS by providing written notice to the other no later than ten days before the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term for the particular Service that the party does not want to renew.
