Shared Hosting Terms Of Service

The Terms of Service and Conditions of Membership Agreement provides the registered member with Ripefruit Australia's services, policies and a statement of what is allowed and not allowed, thereby giving you practical but precise approaches for what is acceptable to the Ripefruit Australia Community. By registering with Ripefruit Australia as a Member you agree to use the Ripefruit Australia Site in a manner consistent with all applicable laws and regulations and in accordance with the terms and conditions outlined below:

Membership is available to anyone who registers with a legitimate electronic mail address. Ripefruit Australia does not discriminate on the basis of age, gender or ethnicity.

The Member authorizes Ripefruit Australia to charge all fees due to the submitted payment details.

All hosting contracts are automatically renewed for another term unless a written notice of cancelation has been given by either party at least one week in advance of the renewal date / anniversary date.

If an account has been setup and the initial rent and setup fee are not paid, Ripefruit Australia has the right to immediately close the account and to refuse service.

If for some reason the Member is not completely satisfied, the Member may cancel the account within thirty (30) days of the Application and receive a full refund of any service charges. This policy does not apply outside the first 30 day period.

All cancellation requests must be initiated by an email from the primary contact person on the account who shall provide sufficient identification. Account terms are final and there are no refunds of unused time if the service contract is canceled by client before the regular expiration date / anniversary date. Any cancellation request shall be effective upon receipt unless otherwise requested.

Ripefruit Australia provides its Members with storage space for their Web Site together with a personal virtual server (membername.). Members may also have their own domain name (www.domain.com) mapped to their storage space.

Members must agree to accept our email messages as part of their service. We only use email to inform you of new membership benefits and features, to let you know of urgent problems on our site, and to present special members-only opportunities to buy products and services that are appropriate to the interests of our Communities. And we keep these messages to a minimum.
