30 Day Money Back Guarantee

All of Source Movers's web hosting plans are backed by a 30 day money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with our services or support within the first 30 days of your order, you will be given a full refund of the order amount excluding setup fees, domain registration fees, add-on/upgrade fees, overages, etc. Setup fees are refundable only if the account order is cancelled prior to account activation. No refund will be available after the 30th day. This policy does not apply to any additional services such as overages, setup fees, additional space, etc. Cancellations via e-mail requests will not constitute acceptance of any cancellation. You may only cancel your services via e-mail when your services have not been setup yet. You will need to contact our billing department and include details such as your order number, last 4 digits of your credit card number; this e-mail must also originate from the e-mail address used to place the initial order. All other cancellation requests should be made via member services. Cancellations are processed only during business hours Monday-Friday. No cancellations are processed on holidays and weekends.

All of Source Movers Lead Generation plans include a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. Refund must be requested by the end of the 30th day or earlier in writing or e-mail. We will confirm receipt once we receive the request. Important: The money back guarantee does not cover refunds of third party advertising costs paid to Google, Facebook, Instagram, Bing, Yahoo, or any other advertising company and only applies to our subscription fee we bill you for the first month.

Shared Server Abuse

Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server, or customer, of Source Movers is strictly prohibited.

Unauthorized use of other people's accounts or computers violates this terms of service agreement. Source Movers will strongly react to any use or attempted use of an internet account or computer without the owner's authorization. Such attempts include "internet scamming" (tricking other people into releasing their passwords), password robbery, security hole scanning etc.

Any unauthorized use of accounts or computers by a Source Movers customer, whether or not the attacked account or computer belongs to Source Movers, will result in action against the attacker. Possible actions include warnings, account suspension or cancellation, and civil or criminal legal action, depending on the seriousness of the attack.

Customers may not run IRC, bots or clients on shared servers. Unacceptable uses also include, but are not limited to: bulk e-mailing, unsolicited e-mailings, newsgroup spamming, pornographic content, illegal content, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, illegal software downloads, software cracks, software serial numbers, abuse of server resources, or anything else determined by Source Movers to be unacceptable use of Source Movers's services.

All hosting accounts may be terminated that include the following content or which have links to the following content:

  • Providing material that is grossly offensive to the web community such as blatant expressions of bigotry, racism or hatred.
  • Promoting or providing instructional information about illegal activities, or promoting physical harm or injury against any group or individual.
  • Displaying material that exploits children less than 18 years of age is strongly prohibited.
  • Any acts of copyright infringement including offering pirated computer programs or links to such programs, information used to circumvent manufacturer-installed copy-protect devices such as serial or registration numbers for software programs, or any type of cracker utilities.
  • Distributing information regarding the creation of and/or sending of internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, e-mail bombing, denial of service attacks, and piracy of software.
Any account that is deactivated by the abuse team will be charged the following reactivation fees. These fees will only be waived if it is determined by the abuse team that the account was disabled without cause.
  • 1st offense - $25.00
  • 2nd offense - $100.00
  • 3rd offense - $500.00 + account termination.

Unsolicited E-Mail ("spam")

Unsolicited advertisements ("spam") are not allowed in e-mail and will result in account termination.

Source Movers has zero-tolerance for spam originating from our servers or for spam advertising of domains hosted on our servers.

The following activities are not allowed:

  • Unsolicited bulk or commercial messages ("spam"). This includes, but is not limited to, bulk e-mailings of commercial advertising, informational announcements, charity requests, petitions for signatures and political or religious tracts. Such messages may only be sent to those who have explicitly requested it from your domain.
  • Forging, altering or removing electronic mail headers is prohibited. Any domain sending stealth spam will be terminated without warning and without refund.
  • Sending numerous copies of the same or substantially similar message with the intent to disrupt a server or account ("e-mail bombing").
  • Spamming in newsgroups is prohibited. Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most Usenet discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists. Inappropriate posting may result in account cancellation. See the newsgroup or mailing list's charter to see whether advertising is allowed or not. "Spamming" or sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups is particularly unethical and will be treated as such.
  • E-mail may not be used to harass or intimidate others. Harassment, whether through language, frequency of messages, or size of messages, are all prohibited. Sending a single unwelcome message may be considered harassment. If a recipient asks to stop receiving e-mail, you must not send that person any further messages.
  • Providing spam-ware (software used to send bulk e-mail or software used to harvest e-mail addresses) or links to sites providing spam-ware is strictly prohibited and subject to account termination.
If you use the services of another provider (including but not limited to the use of address lists obtained from third party vendors or provider) to promote a web site hosted by or through Source Movers, then the provisions of the above policy shall apply as if the spam were sent through our servers.

The penalty for "spamming" depends on the severity; Source Movers reserves the right to charge you between: $1.00 - $100.00 per "spam" e-mail sent through our networks. Your web site content will also be confiscated and it will never be returned to you.

CGI Scripts

Each shared web hosting account comes with its own "cgi-bin", in which you are free to use any* CGI scripts you wish. All CGI scripts (Perl scripts with a .pl or .cgi extension) intended for use on shared Windows web hosting accounts are subject to approval by our server administrators. *See the Server Resource Abuse section.

Server Resource Abuse

Shared server accounts are limited in use of the amount of server resources. Shared server resource abuse includes any process or service usage that affects normal shared server operation, resource or connectivity, and which causes a server to become overloaded. Shared server resources include CPU and memory usage, number of concurrent processes, number of concurrent port or database connections and total bandwidth consumption. Possible causes of server resource abuse include, but are not limited to, the use of: CGI, Perl, SendMail, mySQL, MSSQL, PHP, ASP, ColdFusion, HTTP, SMTP, POP3 and FTP. If server resource abuse is detected, possible actions include, but are not limited to: disabling of the offending script or scripts, disabling of the specific service, disabling of the entire account or account cancellation. If the server overload is a result of server resource abuse, these actions will be taken without prior notice or warning.

Child Pornography

We have a zero-tolerance on child pornography. Source Movers will cooperate fully with any criminal investigation into a customer's violation of the Child Protection Act of 1984 concerning child pornography. Customers are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients over the Source Movers network and will be liable for illegal materials posted by their clients.

According to the Child Protection Act, child pornography includes photographs, films, video or any other type of visual presentation that shows a person who is or is depicted as being under the age of eighteen years and is engaged in or is depicted as engaged in explicit sexual activity, or the dominant characteristics of which is the depiction, for a sexual purpose, of a sexual organ or the anal region of a person under the age of eighteen years or any written material or visual representation that advocates or counsels sexual activity with a person under the age of eighteen years.

Violations of the Child Protection Act may be reported to the U.S. Customs Agency at 1-800-BEALERT.

Chat Rooms

We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms within a shared hosting account, without approving it with the Source Movers support team. Most chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option. However, we do provide a choice of Java chat rooms for a small extra charge that will more than fill your needs and run without hindering the performance of the machines of others. Parachat chat rooms do not apply to this rule. They are perfectly fine to install.

SMTP Mail Server Abuse

We do not allow clients to send more than 2000 pieces of e-mail per day from a shared hosting account. If you do send more than 2000 pieces of e-mail per day, your account will be placed on hold for network abuse. If you are sending legitimate e-mails and they total more than 2000 per day, then your account will be moved to a special server that is specifically designed to handle high volumes of e-mail. You will be charged $50.00/month in addition to your regular hosting charges if your account is moved to this server. Please click here to contact our network operations coordinator to have your domain moved.

Background Running Programs

We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a one-to-one basis and an extra charge will be incurred on system resource used and operation maintenance needed.

IRC

We currently do not allow IRC, IRC clients, or IRC bots to be operated on any of our servers. In addition, IRC servers are not permitted on our network. Anyone found to be in violation of this policy risks immediate account termination.

Current Contact Information

Current customers must provide Source Movers with, and keep current and up to date, good contact information including first name, last name, street address, city, state/province, zip/postal code, country, e-mail address, phone number and organization name. Source Movers uses the contact information to reach customers during network emergencies, server downtime, maintenance windows and billing issues with your account. Failure to keep contact information up to date could lead to temporary account suspension until the information is updated.

Excessive Use/Overages

You will not exceed the bandwidth, storage and e-mail usage limits outlined by your particular web hosting package. If you use any bandwidth or storage space in excess of the agreed upon number of megabytes per month, or if you exceed e-mail storage and attachment size limitations, Source Movers may in sole discretion, assess you with additional charges. If Source Movers elects to take any corrective action, Source Movers will not refund any unused pre-paid fees. Your use of your account and access to it is your responsibility. You are responsible for any unauthorized access to your account result in bandwidth, storage and/or e-mail usage exceeding the limits outlined in your particular web hosting package specifications and resultant charges. Bandwidth overages are currently billed at $20/GB/month. Disk space overages are currently billed at $0.25/MB/month. E-mail attachments overages are currently billed at $0.10 per e-mail over 10MB.

Payment Policies

All accounts are set up on a pre-pay basis. Setup fees are charged for all new accounts and major account changes are non-refundable. All pricing is guaranteed for the term of the pre-payment. Source Movers reserves the right to change prices at any time, unless other terms have been agreed upon. Credit card accounts are subject to login deactivation upon the card declining for charges within 48 hours of e-mail notification. Any account not brought current within a week (7 days) of e-mail notice or exceeding this time frame in any way is subject to complete account deactivation. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time that the customer notifies Source Movers via member services to request for termination of services; e-mail cancellations will not be accepted. All payments must be made in U.S. currency.

Source Movers will bill each client $50.00 per credit card chargeback received. All Source Movers accounts are setup on anniversary billing cycles. Your particular billing cycle corresponds to your contract length initially outlined or in some circumstances chosen by the customer. Your account will automatically renew at this length.

Any account that is not brought current prior to deactivation will be charged a $25.00 reactivation fee as well as a $15.00 late charge, per domain deactivated. All taxes, fees and government charges relating to the services provided hereunder (other than income taxes of Source Movers) shall be paid by the customer.

Your first month's payment will be a pro-rated charge for the amount of days left in the calendar. If the amount of days left in the calendar is less than 5 days, then you will be charged for next months billing cycle as well as the days left in the current calendar month, at Source Movers's sole discretion. This pro-rated charge in turn will move your billing cycle to the 1st of each calendar month. All setup fees will be charged in full and will not be pro-rated.

Cancellation

Source Movers reserves the right to cancel service at any time. All fees paid in advance of cancellation will be pro-rated and paid by Source Movers if Source Movers institutes its right of cancellation. Any violation of policies which results in extra costs will be billed to the customer.
