Payment Issues

Non-Refundable Payments

Payments made through UPI/NEFT/IMPS directly to our bank are non-refundable and will be added as credit to your hosting account.

Additional Terms

Domain Charges

If your web hosting service includes a free domain name and you cancel the service, the standard domain charges will be deducted from the refund amount. If the refund amount is less than the domain name price, you will have to pay the difference or forfeit the domain. Domain transfer fees apply if you wish to transfer the domain to another provider.

Account Migration Charges

If we have performed account migration and you cancel the service within the first 4 days, a charge of $15 will be deducted from the refund amount.

Taxes and Fees

Refunds do not cover any taxes, setup fees, refund processing fees, postal charges, or any payment processing charges.

Cancellation Process

Requesting a Refund

To request a refund, submit a cancellation request through the client area within 4 days of purchase. Refund requests placed after 4 days will not be processed.

Processing Time

After sending the cancellation request, it will take 10 to 20 business days to complete the refund process.

Unpaid Invoices

Unpaid invoices may result in the suspension or termination of your web hosting account. Suspended accounts will only be restored after clearing the outstanding invoice. Terminated accounts will not have their data restored.

Termination Reasons

Your hosting account can be terminated for the following reasons:

  • You decide to discontinue the service.
  • You fail to renew your account on the due date.
  • You violate our Terms of Service.
  • Potential fraud detected by our anti-fraud system.

Automatic Actions

Our system generates invoices, service cancellations, suspensions, terminations, and late fee additions at 2:00 AM IST. It is your responsibility to manage your account and ensure timely payments to avoid disruptions.

Backup Responsibility

It is advised to maintain a backup copy of your hosting account to avoid losing your data due to termination. All your files will be deleted from the server once your hosting account is terminated, and Cloudghosts shall not be liable for the same.

Service Discontinuation

If you decide to discontinue the service at any time during your subscription, your hosting account will be suspended immediately upon your request and terminated within 24 hours.

Expiration Cancellation

If you request cancellation after your subscription expires, your hosting account will be suspended at the end of the subscription and terminated within 24 hours after the expiration date.

Renewal Policy

For service renewals, invoices will be generated 14 days before the due date. Services will be suspended on the due date and terminated on the 8th day after the due date if payment is not made.

Fraud Prevention

We have an anti-fraud system that monitors all orders. If potential fraud is detected, we will manually verify the order. If the required information is not provided, the account will be suspended and terminated immediately.
