Website Cancellation Process.
You may terminate or cancel the Services by giving RGW IT SERVICES SPRL a clear written notice at any given working day. In such event: (i) you shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such cancellation and (ii) RGW IT SERVICES SPRL may, in our sole discretion, refund all pre-paid fees for basic hosting services for the full months remaining after the effectiveness of such cancellation (i.e. no partial month fees shall be refunded) less any setup fees, applicable taxes and any discount applied for prepayment, provided that you are not in breach of this Agreement.
Once we receive your cancellation notice and have confirmed all necessary information with you via email, we will inform you in writing (typically email) that your account has been canceled. Your cancellation confirmation will contain a ticket/tracking number in the subject line for your reference and for verification purposes. You should immediately receive an automatic email with a tracking number stating that “Your request has been received….” RGW IT SERVICES SPRL will confirm your request and process your cancellation shortly thereafter. If you do not hear back from us, or do not receive the automatic confirmation email within a few minutes after submitting your cancellation form, please contact us immediately via +32.784.865.68 phone. We require all cancellations to be done in a written form in order to (a) confirm your identity, (b) confirm in writing that you are prepared for all of your files and emails to be removed, and (c) document the request. This process aims to reduce the likelihood of mistakes, fraudulent/malicious requests, and to ensure that you are aware that your files, emails, and account may be removed immediately and permanently after a cancellation request is processed.
Cancellations for shared and reseller accounts will be effective on the account’s renewal date. Cancellations for dedicated and VPS accounts will be effective immediately.
If your website has been under the same subscription with RGW IT SERVICES SPRL for at least 2 years, all graphical content, html, css and javascript source code files will be sent to you after all fees has been fully paid to RGW IT SERVICES SPRL. The content may be bought before the 2 years, by paying 24 times monthly subscription including taxes. This doesn't include any RGW IT SERVICES SPRL special applications developed for you

Managed Domain renewals are billed and renewed thirty (60) days before the renewal date. It is your responsibility to notify RGW IT SERVICES SPRL’s Billing department via a email to cancel any domain registration at least thirty (60) days prior to the renewal date. No refunds will be given once a domain is renewed. All domain registrations and renewals are final.
Foreign Currencies.
Exchange rate fluctuations for international payments are constant and unavoidable. All refunds are processed in Euros and will reflect the exchange rate in effect on the date of the refund. All refunds are subject to this fluctuation and RGW IT SERVICES SPRL is not responsible for any change in exchange rates between the time of payment and the time of refund.
Termination
RGW IT SERVICES SPRL may terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, without notice in the event that: (i) you fail to pay any fees due; (ii) you violate this Agreement; (iii) your conduct may harm RGW IT SERVICES SPRL or others or cause RGW IT SERVICES SPRL or others to incur liability, as determined by RGW IT SERVICES SPRL in our sole discretion; or (iv) as otherwise specified in this Agreement. In such event, RGW IT SERVICES SPRL shall not refund to you any fees paid in advance of such termination, and you shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such termination. Additionally, RGW IT SERVICES SPRL may charge you for all fees due for the Services for the remaining portion of the then current term.
UPON TERMINATION OF THE SERVICES FOR ANY REASON, USER CONTENT, USER WEBSITES, AND OTHER DATA WILL BE DELETED.
CPU, Bandwidth and Disk Usage
Permitted CPU and Disk Usage.
All use of hosting space provided by RGW IT SERVICES SPRL is subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Acceptable Use Policy.
Shared hosting space may only be used for web files, active email and content of User Websites. Shared hosting space may not be used for storage (whether of media, emails, or other data), including, as offsite storage of electronic files, email or FTP hosts. RGW IT SERVICES SPRL expressly reserves the right to review every shared account for excessive usage of CPU, disk space and other resources that may be caused by a violation of this Agreement or the Acceptable Use Policy. RGW IT SERVICES SPRL may, in our sole discretion, terminate access to the Services, apply additional fees, or remove or delete User Content for those accounts that are found to be in violation of RGW IT SERVICES SPRL’s terms and conditions.
Dedicated and VPS usage is limited by the resources allocated to the specific plan that you have purchased.
Bandwidth Usage.
Shared servers are not limited in their bandwidth allowance. Unlimited bandwidth usage is not available for resellers, dedicated or VPS servers, which are subject to the terms of the plan you purchased and can be viewed in your control panel.
Uptime Guarantee.
If your shared or reseller server has a physical downtime that falls short of the 99.9% uptime guarantee, you may receive one (1) month of credit on your account. This uptime guarantee does not apply to planned maintenance. Approval of any credit is at the sole discretion of RGW IT SERVICES SPRL and may be dependent upon the justification provided. Third party monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due to a variety of factors including the monitor’s network capacity/transit availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server which may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services. To request a credit, please visit http://www.RGW IT SERVICES SPRL to create a support ticket to our Billing department with justification [within thirty (30) days of the end of the month for which you are requesting a credit]. Uptime guarantees only apply to shared and reseller solutions. Dedicated servers are covered by a network guarantee in which the credit is prorated for the amount of time the server is down which is not related to our uptime guarantee.
