Unlimited Features
What do you mean by "unlimited disk space and bandwidth/data transfer"?
We do not set limits on the disk space and bandwidth (data transfer) that we provide in plans that are marked "Unlimited". We want you to have the resources available to you to build a great online presence.
Even though we want you to succeed, we need to ensure that we're providing all of our customers with optimum service. As such we do require all of our customers to be fully compliant with our Excessive Resource User Policy/Terms of Service and utilize disk space and bandwidth related to normal operation of a personal or small business website.
If a customer's hosting account is found to have violated the client content, excessive resource user policy and/or is storing files for archiving purposes, the contents will be removed and while we make best effort to contact customers beforehand, can occur without notice.
Excessive Resource User Policy
Resources are defined as disk space, bandwidth, and/or computing resources (cpu, memory, disk i/o, # of files/inodes) utilization. GreenGeeks offers a shared hosting service in which environment customers may share resources with other customers, therefore it is imperative that GreenGeeks control any excessive usage by customers so that they do not disrupt the service quality of other customers using the same resources. A hosting account is considered using "Excessive amounts of resources" when it consumes 100% of the allocated resources on the subscribed hosting plan and/or subscribed scalable resource add-on(s) known as "Computing Resources", and/or "Resources", and/or "Resource Usage". There are numerous issues that could cause such problems, including but not limited to: cgi scripts, FTP, HTTP, etc. To prevent service disruption for other customers, a hosting account which exceeds the included computing resources will be slowed down automatically for as long as the resources are being overused. GreenGeeks will make every reasonable effort to notify customer prior to suspension, however, GreenGeeks may suspend any offending hosting account prior to notifying the customer of the account in the event that service disruption to other customers was/is caused. The customer whom is using "excessive resources" may be asked to upgrade his/her package to a more suitable hosting package, such as but not limited to a premium account, virtual private server or dedicated server. GreenGeeks will be the sole and final arbitrator as to what constitutes as a violation of this policy. Customers have access to their Resource Usage within their control panel.
No "Spam"
UCE/UBE or "Spam" originating from a server located on our network or associated with a GreenGeeks server is not tolerated. This includes any e-mail that promotes websites hosted on a server located on the GreenGeeks network but is sent from an e-mail address not associated with that GreenGeeks account. Client shall not use their GreenGeeks services for chain letters, junk mail, bulk-email, or any use of distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process. GreenGeeks reserves the right to deactivate or terminate any account(s) upon any indication of such activity without notice.

We do not make any guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete a migration. As each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, this may make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to migrate some or all account data. In some cases we may not be able to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host, and there may be cases where websites cannot be transferred from another host without additional configuration outside of what GreenGeeks can provide. GreenGeeks makes no guarantee of any successful migration due to such factors and reserves the right to refuse or cancel any migration request at any time at its sole discretion, including the denial of migrations of any content that may potentially violate our policies.

You can request a domain transfer to GreenGeeks from within your GreenGeeks Account.

Website migrations outside of the thirty (30) day period will incur a charge based on our rates as outlined in our Migration Policy.

You warrant and represent that the information you supply in the Order Form (or other information that GreenGeeks may require) is accurate and truthful. All payment-due notices will be sent by e-mail. No bills or invoices will be sent by postal mail or fax. If payment was not received by the due-date, your account will be suspended. It is the client's responsibility to ensure that payment is made to GreenGeeks prior to the renewal date and although GreenGeeks sends renewal notices to our customers prior to their renewal date, because of the ability for a customer to change their contact email addresses without notifying GreenGeeks, the customer is ultimately responsible for remembering their renewal date and to make sure payment is made upon the renewal. Failure to keep an account in good standing and/or service renewals paid for will result in service deactivation until the account and or service renewal is paid for in full.
GreenGeeks may change its prices from time to time.

It is your sole responsibility to periodically review all billing-related information by GreenGeeks through your account or other methods of communication and notices sent or posted by GreenGeeks.
Renewals
It is the obligation of the GreenGeeks’ customers to know when their account comes up for renewal and, if their intention is to non-renew their account, they must fill out the GreenGeeks cancellation form 5 business days prior to their account's renewal date to ensure that the billing department can stop any renewal charges. GreenGeeks’ clients receive email notifications between 15 and 30 days prior to the renewal date of their account depending on the service subscribed to, informing them that their renewal date is approaching. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that GreenGeeks has a valid email address for which notices can be sent to GreenGeeks’ clients. If GreenGeeks does not receive a cancellation request prior to the customer's renewal, GreenGeeks will renew the clients' account 24 hours prior to the renewal date, and will apply charges as appropriate. Services will be automatically renewed on the renewal date and be billed at the then current renewal fee(s) for the plan that the customer is currently subscribed to. In the case of insufficient funds to charge such amount, you agree to allow GreenGeeks to place your account on a recurring payment plan, wherein we will collect a partial term quantity to avoid an interruption in service and to protect against accidental loss of intellectual property such as, but not limited to, website data, domain registration, etc. The 30-day money back guarantee applies only to the start date of the clients' service with GreenGeeks, and does not apply to renewals of service.
Late Fees
Clients have the option to pay an invoice at any time by logging into their GreenGeeks account and submitting a payment. An invoice that is not paid by the due date is automatically marked overdue in the system. If an invoice is overdue by more than four days (the grace period), the account is automatically suspended and a $15.00 late fee is added to the account. To reactivate an account that is suspended for failure to submit a payment within the grace period, a payment for the original invoiced amount plus $15.00 must be submitted to GreenGeeks.
Prepayment
It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment information is up to date, and that all invoices are paid on time. You agree to pay for the Services in advance of the time period during which such Services are provided.
