Terms Of Service

All customer accounts are subject to the following:

Payment Policies
All accounts are billed as stated in the hosting plan you choose. It may be either monthly, quarterly, yearly or otherwise if visibly stated. Setup fees are non-refundable. All pricing is guaranteed for the term of pre-payment. Payment is due on each period following the date the account was established. Credit card orders that are on recurring orders will NOY be charged automatically to the card number on file. Instead, email notification will be sent to customer about invoice generated that will be paid manually via our member's area located at https://www.qbem.com/mb

The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time that the customer notifies QBEM in writing for a request for termination of services to our support department.

Cancellation
QBEM has the right to cancel service at any time if the customer breaks any rules mentioned below.
Customers can cancel service with at least two business days advance written notice. All account cancellations must be done via our helpdesk system or email. Cancellation requests via LiveSupport chat are not accepted. 

Dedicated server accounts require minimum of one week email or helpdesk notice.

Excessive bandwidth
QBEM's hosting packages specify limits for bandwidth and use in excess of those limits is billed at additional cost. The cost of every GB over prepaid limit is mentioned in the detailed package info. Bandwidth utilization is determined by the total number of bytes transferred from an account's Web, FTP and email traffic.

Site Security
The customer is solely responsible for any breaches of security affecting servers/sites under customer control. If a customer's site is involved in an attack on another system, it will be shut down and an immediate investigation will be launched to determine the cause of the attack. In such an event, the customer is responsible for the cost to rectify any damage done to the attacked system and any other requirement affected by the security breach. The labor used to rectify any such damage is categorized as emergency security breach recovery and is currently charged at $100 per hour. Customer is responsible for notifying QBEM immediately upon known or suspected breach of security to or from his site/system. We have zero tolerance to system abusers and these are shutdown after investigation immediately without any refund for services being not provided.
