BILLING POLICY

For recurring billing ? Mabuhay Web Hosting bills on the anniversary date of your initial subscription. When you sign up for services, you can use either of the following methods: PayPal Subscription (recommended), PayPal, 2CO (credit card checkout), Smart Money (Philippines), Globe GCash (Philippines) and Union Bank Deposit (Philippines).

The following is our billing schedule for recurring billing:

* FIVE (5) Days BEFORE Due Date ? The billing contact will receive an automated invoice by e-mail which will be due within five (5) days of receipt.

* ONE (1) Day AFTER Due Date ? If no payment has been received, an e-mail reminder will be sent to the billing contact advising them the payment is ONE (1) Day past due.

* SEVEN (7) Days AFTER Due Date ? If no payment has been received by 3 PM GMT+8 Time ON Day SEVEN (7), a second e-mail reminder will be sent to the billing contact advising them the payment is SEVEN (7) Day past due.

* FIFTEEN (15) Days AFTER Due Date ? If no payment has been received and no payment arrangements have been made by 3 PM GMT+8 Time ON Day FIFTEEN (15), YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE SUSPENDED. All hosting services, including e-mail, will be halted until payment is received.

* THIRTY (30) Days AFTER Due Date ? If no payment has been received and no payment arrangements have been made, your account WILL BE SUBJECT TO TERMINATION WITHOUT NOTICE, AND ALL FILES AND E-MAIL WILL BE SUBJECT TO DELETION AT ANY TIME. An account reactivation fee of $10 (PHP500) will be due if you choose to reactivate your account after 30 days, and only IF your files are still recoverable.

As a courtesy, if your account is suspended or pending termination we MAY call you to ask if you wish to continue hosting. However, this is NOT a requirement, nor guarantee. Therefore, it is extremely important that you keep an up-to-date e-mail address(es) on file with us in the billing system so you receive the above notifications and we have current contact information for you.

For those using free email services such as YAHOO, GMAIL, etc please ensure you add our email addresses to your contacts. This will hopefully prevent email delays and/or emails being accidently diverted to bulk folder.

Our emails that are used for communication are:

support@mabuhayhosting.net
cs@mabuhayhosting.com
admin@mabuhayhosting.biz

For non-recurring billing / One-Time charges ? You will be invoiced immediately for any non-recurring services such as installation support fees, SSL certificates, and other individual products and services.? Late fees / termination rules apply as indicated in the recurring billing schedule above. We reserve the right to reclaim products that are not paid for within 15 days after the Due Date.

ACCOUNT SUSPENSION

As indicated above, if we have not received payment within 15 days after the invoice due date, your account will be put into a suspended status. This means you will not be able to log into your control panel, will not be able to access e-mail, and your web site and FTP access will be disabled.

Once your account is suspended, and as long as your account is otherwise in good standing (meaning we did not suspend your site for copyright violations, fraud, or other illegal activity), you have up 15 more days to make payment through the Support/Billing area at http://mabuhayhosting.net. When payment is received, your account will be reactivated and all services restored.

***

ACCOUNT TERMINATION

If after 30 days past your invoice due date, we have not received physical payment, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT AND FILES.

We are not obligated to notify you of a pending termination or a terminated account. If we do so, it is a courtesy only.? It is your responsibility to ensure your account information is current and your account is paid in a timely manner.
