Money Back Guarantee
All new customer hosting accounts have a full money back guarantee, upon cancellation within 30 days of ordering service, if the account holder is not satisfied for any reason.  The amount refunded will be the dollar amount paid to Nibble Netwrx LLC, by the account holder, and to the bank account, credit or debit card or PayPal account the payment was originally paid from.  Domain Registration fees are NON REFUNDABLE.  If we register a domain name, on your behalf, as part of a free registration promotion, cancellation or termination of your account will void the promotion offer and you will be charged $20.00 per registration year remaining on your domain name registration.

You may cancel your account at anytime.  To cancel your hosting account, you must submit a request via our Client Portal help desk.  To review our policy outside of the 30 Day Money Back Guarantee please review our “Refunds Outside of 30 Day Money Back Guarantee” section.

Dedicated servers are not covered under any money back guarantee.  Dedicated server cancellations must be submitted to our online Client Portal help desk at least 5 days before your next invoice is due, or you will be charged for an additional month.  There are no partial refunds given for early termination.

Refunds Outside of 30 Day Money Back Guarantee
If any customer who has paid for multi term payments (quarterly, semi-annual, yearly or bi-annual) contacts us for cancellation prior to the completion of their current billing cycle, refunds will be calculated on a per month basis.  Nibble Netwrx LLC will refund the difference based on unused months remaining in the package term where the original signup date or renewal date will be considered the beginning of the term and 30 days is considered a month.

Dedicated server cancellations must be submitted to our online Client Portal help desk at least 5 days before your next invoice is due, or you will be charged for an additional month.

Billing and Payment Cycles
If, at any time, a chargeback is issued through your credit card company, bank or PayPal (including PayPal disputes), we will immediately suspend all services listed on your billing account, including services not covered under the chargeback or dispute, and start collection efforts.  Upon receiving a Chargeback, your account will be invoiced $50.00 for the Chargeback fee.  Any chargebacks and chargeback fees will be charged 12% Interest Annually until paid from the date the chargeback is received.

If, at any time, your account is referred to collections, you are responsible for all collections activity charges.

Services are invoiced 14 days before your billing cycle ends, with several reminders sent until the account due date.  Overdue invoices are charged a normal late fee (10% of Invoice).  Hosting accounts are suspended when they go 3 days past due and terminated 30 days past due.  Dedicated Servers have no grace period and are suspended immediately upon going past due, and terminated when they go 5 days past due, unless previously arranged.

You are responsible for logging into your Client Portal and to submit payment at the end of each billing cycle, unless you are set up for automatic debit from the credit or debit card on file or have a PayPal subscription.  Invoices are emailed to the email address you on on file with us in your Client Portal, approximately 2 weeks before your billing cycle ends.  We accept most major credit cards as well as PayPal and Mail-In payments.

IMPORTANT: You can choose to pay your invoices with the PayPal subscription service.  With a PayPal subscription, you are telling PayPal to send us a certain amount of money on a certain date  UNTIL YOU TELL THEM TO STOP PAYING US. If you accidentally set up two PayPal subscriptions, then PayPal will pay us twice.  We have no way to “take” money from your PayPal account.  If you accidentally overpay us via PayPal subscription, you need to cancel your PayPal subscription from within your PayPal account and contact us immediately.  Nibble Netwrx LLC will only refund ONE PayPal subscription overpayment, all others will be credited to your billing account for future payments.  If you cancel and still have PayPal subscription payment credits left, you will loose those credits.
