1. Services
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and contingent on Customer’s satisfaction of Lindell Media Inc.’s credit approval requirements, Lindell Media Inc. agrees to provide the web hosting services described in the Order for the fees stated in the Order.
2. Term
The initial service term of the Agreement shall begin on the date that Lindell Media Inc. generates an e-mail message to Customer announcing the activation of the Customer’s account (the “Service Commencement Date”) and shall continue for the term stated in the Order (the “Initial Term”). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for the same length as the Initial Term (each a “Renewal Term”) unless Lindell Media Inc. or Customer provides the other with termination notice within 48 hours prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term may be referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Term.”
3. Payments (Premium Hosting)
(a) Recurring Fees
Renewal notices are emailed seven days before the actual renew date in your account. If you have a credit card on file your card will automatically be charged two days before your renewal notice is due. All payments submitted for services are non-refundable outside of our 30 day refund policy. Service will be made inactive on accounts that are not paid by the 7th day past due.
The term “Account” describes all services provided to a customer as defined by the primary ownership email and physical address. Lindell Media Inc. reserves the right to revoke this grace period if a pattern of late payment is observed or if your payment method is listed as other. All orders made with a credit card are expected to work on the monthly renewal date each month. Any accounts made inactive for non-payment are subject to a $10.00 late payment fee. Any accounts terminated due to non payment are subject to a $10.00 restoration fee once all past due invoices have been paid.
(b) Payment Terms
Prior to paying a renewal invoice and before your renewal date you may have your payment terms changed at no additional charge. If you wish to cancel a Quarterly or Yearly package prior to its renewal date, your package will be pro-rated to the nearest Monthly billing cycle and any remaining funds will be credited to your account. Any cancellation as the result of a violation of our TOS or AUP will be non refundable.
(c) Credit/Debit card and your Address on File
When an order is placed with a credit/debit card, your card is stored with our payment processor, Stripe, and a secure token is stored with us – your card will automatically be charged every month two days before your due date. For security purposes your address on file with us must match the address of your credit/debit card. If this address does not match, our payment gateway will not accept the transaction. If you have a credit card on file and the transaction is declined due to the address this transaction might show up as a pending charge but will not be processed through. If you have a debit card on file and the transaction is declined due to the address your bank will pull the money out of your account but this money will be refunded back to your account by your bank. It is recommended to always store a credit card on file instead of a debit card.
(d) Taxes
At Lindell Media Inc.’s request Customer shall remit to Lindell Media Inc. all sales similar tax imposed on the provision of the services (but not in the nature of an income tax on Lindell Media Inc., regardless of whether Lindell Media Inc. fails to collect the tax at the time the related services are provided.
(e) 30 Day Money Back Guarantee
All new Lindell Media Inc. Customers are eligible for a 30 day money back guarantee on all hosting packages upon written request. The definition of a new customer is one who has never purchased services from Lindell Media Inc. in the past. Also if a customer purchases a 2nd, 3rd, etc. hosting package and wishes to cancel this particular package they are not eligible for a refund. If you exceed your bandwidth limit within the first 30 days of service you are not eligible for the 30 day money back guarantee. If the TOS/AUP agreed upon when ordering is violated this voids your eligibility for the 30 day money back guarantee. Lindell Media Inc. reserves the right to deny the refund if we feel abuse of services has occurred.
4. Cancellation and Early Termination
Customer acknowledges that the amount of the fee for the service is based on Customer’s agreement to pay the fee for the entire Initial Term, or Renewal Term, as applicable. In the event Lindell Media Inc. terminates the Agreement for Customer’s breach of the Agreement in accordance with Section 10 (Termination), or Customer terminates the service other than in accordance with Section 10 (Termination) for Lindell Media Inc. breach, the unpaid fees for each billing cycle remaining in the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable, are due on the business day following termination of the Agreement. Customer acknowledges that the cancellation notice or downgrade of current package is to be submitted to Lindell Media Inc. prior to the following renewal date or the Customer will be responsible for full payment of the following term. The cancellation request will be subject to the following guidelines:
- Cancellation request must be submitted to the billing department

Customer agrees that Lindell Media Inc. may, in its reasonable commercial judgment consistent with industry standards, amend the AUP and TOS from time to time to further detail or describe reasonable restrictions and conditions on Customer’s use of the Services. Amendments to the AUP and TOS are effective on the earlier of Lindell Media Inc.’s notice to Customer that an amendment has been made, or the first day of any Renewal Term that begins subsequent to the amendment.

Termination in this manner does not absolve the customer of any required payments remaining on their initial or renewal term.
