10. GAME SERVER 14-DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

We provide a full 14-day Money Back Guarantee for Minecraft / Other Game servers.

10.1 No Refunds for Dedicated (Bare Metal). Due to the nature of the industry and the costs involved with provisioning and maintaining your Dedicated Server, we do not offer refunds or pro-rated refunds for Dedicated Servers.

10.2 Process. We refund for the full month of Service. For example: If your Service is $4 USD per month, you will get back $4 USD. Refunds will only be added back to the PayPal account or credit/debit card that made the purchase. Please allow up to 5 business days for the refund to be added back to their account balance. In extreme cases, credit or debit cards may take up to 7 business days to be processed.

10.3 Original Payment Method. All refunds will be issued using the same payment method and amount used for the original purchase, minus processing fees. If you paid in Bitcoin, you will get back the same amount in Bitcoin, minus processing fees. This protects Us from market fluctuations and ensures security.

10.4 Conditions for the Customer (You) are as follows:
(a) If we experience a Service Disruption, and the Customer still wants to use our Services, the terms in our Service Level Agreement may be invoked instead. SLA credits have no monetary value and are only valid for future payments for Services.
(b) This guarantee is only valid for one Service per Customer, throughout the lifetime of their account.
(c) The Customer may not be eligible for refund if they installed any mods, plugins or maps on their server that cause errors, crash the Service or cause downtime. Any custom JAR or other software installed by the Customer (or on behalf of the Customer) that create errors, crash the Service or cause downtime will also make the Customer not eligible for a refund.
(d) If the Customer intentionally causes the Service to become unavailable by creating any malicious attacks on our network, hardware, or other services, the Customer will not be eligible for a refund.

10.5 Request. All requests relating to refunds must be submitted within fourteen (14) days of purchase. If you are dissatisfied with the Service for any reason, you must provide that reason, we will then honor the refund at our own discretion. Support Ticket to our Billing department must be used, for the refund to be reviewed accordingly and processed.

10.6 Cancellations.
(a) Please note that cancelling isn’t for refund requests, only Service cancellation. If you cancel your Service without requesting a refund, you will not be refunded.
(b) We do not offer refunds for any Service duration that passed the 14 day refund window.

11. CANCELLATIONS, CHARGEBACKS & OVERPAYMENT

11.1 Cancellations. In order to cancel your services, you must issue a cancellation request within the Customer Portal. Additionally, you must manually cancel any active PayPal subscriptions that were created when ordering your Service. We do not have access to deduct funds from your PayPal account, and will not be held responsible for automated payments made via a subscription.

11.2 Chargebacks. Chargebacks will result in Service suspension and termination. In order to reactivate suspended Service, re-payment of the reversed charges will be required, in addition to payment of the chargeback fees incurred at a value of $20 USD.

11.3 Overpayments. We understand that overpayments and ("accidental payments") sometimes occur and we are willing to work with you to resolve the issue. An overpayment or "accidental" payment is a payment that was made manually by the client that was not due. For example, if the client had completed their payment multiple times. When this occurs, credit with the value of the overpayment is added to the client's account. Refunds can be offered for overpayments under the following conditions:
(a) The refund request is made within a reasonable timeframe of the payment being sent. Payments via PayPal and other payment processors restrict the time frame a refund can be issued. For this reason, we ask that your request is made within 7 days to give us plenty of time to issue the refund. If the refund request is made beyond this point, we cannot guarantee we will be able to issue it.
(b) Our Customer Portal automatically adds overpayments to your account credit - if any of this credit is used before a refund is issued, a refund cannot be issued.
(c) If there are multiple overpayments, only payments made within the past 30 days at the time the ticket is handled can be issued. This is why we ask that you open a Support Ticket with the request as soon as possible.
(d) The credit is unused and remains in the client's account.

11.4 Overpayments Info. When requesting a refund for an overpayment, please ensure you let us know the PayPal email or Bitcoin address used to make the overpayment, or the equivalent information for the payment method used to locate the payment, as well as the date the payment was completed.

12. SERVICE SUSPENSION

12.1 We will suspend your right to access or use any portion or all of your Service and disconnect your server immediately if we determine:

These obligations survive termination of your relationship with Oddblox Hosting or your use of our Service or Website. Oddblox Hosting reserves the right to assume the defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with Oddblox Hosting in asserting any available defenses.

15.2 Process. We will notify you of any claim subject to Section 15.1, but our failure to immediately notify you will only affect your obligations under Section 15.1 to the extent that our failure prejudices your ability to defend the claim.

You agree that we may assume control of the defense and settlement process at any time.

(a) In the best interest of our customers, We do not put a hard limit on the amount of storage space a server may use.

We reserve the right to require that any outstanding issues, such as plugin errors, be resolved before We increase your storage.
