The cancellation request must include all the necessary details to allow a OIIQ agent to properly identify the account in question, including your full domain name and hosting account type.

2.6. Backups

For certain services, OIIQ provides courtesy backups to help protect your data.

However, backups can occasionally fail. Under no circumstance will OIIQ be held responsible for any loss resulting from incomplete or incorrect backups. By using OIIQ services, you agree to maintain complete backups on your own computers of all data stored on OIIQ servers.

Backups for: Web Hosting, Reseller Hosting, WordPress Hosting & Email Hosting

OIIQ performs regular courtesy backups of data stored on certain types of services, including web hosting and reseller hosting accounts. Backups are offered as a courtesy service and while they are generally very effective, they cannot be guaranteed. Accounts using more than 10 Gigabytes of disk space or using more than 100,000 files may have their backup service automatically disabled in order to maintain system performance. On these accounts, courtesy backups may be reactivated by freeing up additional disk space and then contacting our Customer Service team.

Backups for: Cloud & Dedicated Servers

On Cloud or Dedicated servers, backups are available through the External Backups option. You may order External Backup from your Client Area at any time or during your original order. OIIQ will activate the backup service for you and will enable automatic backups of your data using specialized backup software. You must ensure that the data on your server does not exceed the capacity of your backup storage. If your server's data exceeds the backup storage capacity, your data may not be backed up until you upgrade your backup storage from your Client Area.

OIIQ relies on specialized third-party backup software to manage the automatic backup process from your account or server onto the backup storage. Technical errors or problems can occasionally prevent the successful completion of a backup run. As such, you are strongly encouraged to regularly test the backup restoration process on your server and report any issues to OIIQ's support team.

3. Privacy Policy

OIIQ is committed to your privacy, and does not sell, trade or give out your personal information unless required as part of your service contract or by law. For our complete privacy policy, please consult https://oiiq.net/index.php/privacy-policy.

4. Acceptable Use Policy

In a shared web hosting environment, several clients must share server resources. As such, it is important not to use your hosting account in any way that may negatively affect other OIIQ clients. Our Acceptable Use Policy (hereinafter “AUP”) describes what is and what is not allowed on our servers, and is available at https://oiiq.net/legal/aup.

5. Domain Names

Domain name registrations, renewals, and transfers must respect our Domain Names Policy, which can be found at https://oiiq.net/legal/domains.

6. Domain Privacy Protection Service

If purchased in conjunction with certain types of domain names, the Privacy Protection service (also referred to as ID Protect) is intended to shield the customer’s personal information from the public domain name information database, called the « WHOIS » database, by replacing the customer’s information with those of a confidentiality services provider. The Privacy Protection service cannot prevent information from being published by third parties, nor does it remove any public « WHOIS » information that may have been saved and published by other parties prior to the purchase and activation of the protection. The Privacy Protection service is not available for all domain types.

The Privacy Protection service is non-refundable and is not covered by our money-back guarantee. The Client must always maintain accurate contact information in their private OIIQ profile, as stipulated by ICANN's rules and regulations.

7. SSL Certificates

The use and installation of COMODO or Sectigo SSL Certificates offered by OIIQ are subject to the terms and conditions of COMODO and Sectigo. Following an SSL purchase, a OIIQ technician will request a certificate on your behalf and attempt to complete its installation on your account. If you have requested a Dedicated IP address during your SSL order, your Web Site may experience up to 12 hours of downtime during the SSL installation process, due to a process called DNS Propagation.

Unless otherwise requested prior to the installation, an SSL certificate will be installed and will work exclusively on the domain name or subdomain that was requested during your order. SSL Certificates are non-transferable. The installation of an SSL certificate does not guarantee the use of encrypted https protocol throughout your website. Additional website configuration changes are recommended to fully make use of your certificate's data encryption, as described in our Help Center.

8. Webmaster Help Service

The Webmaster Help Service is a paid service offered by OIIQ in order to provide you with technical assistance relating to your web sites, outside of the scope of our standard technical support. The Webmaster Help Service is billed in 30 minute-increments, at an hourly rate established on OIIQ’S Web Site or through written communications prior to the start of work. If a phone consultation is required, a OIIQ agent can call you at an agreed-upon time and provide assistance for a duration that does not exceed a maximum of 50 minutes per billable hour.

OIIQ cannot guarantee any specific results with their Webmaster Help Service. While our team will attempt to complete any task in the time they have available, the results will depend entirely on the complexity of the project and the available time-frame. If we're unable to complete the required work in the allotted time slot, we'll let you know and provide you with options.

The Webmaster Help Service is non-refundable once the requested work has been completed. The first hour of Webmaster Help fees must be paid prior to the start of the work, and additional hours incurred must be paid in full within five (5) days of the work being performed.

9. Dedicated IP Address

All dedicated IP addresses assigned to you must be maintained by you in a manner that confirms to the norms and regulations set forth by ARIN (https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html).

If you ordered multiple IP addresses with a Cloud, Dedicated or Reseller service, they must be used at 80% within 30 days of being assigned.

At the outset, for Web Hosting, Reseller Hosting or WordPress Hosting accounts, you will be assigned a shared IP address. You may request one (1) dedicated IP address per hosting account, at additional cost. OIIQ reserves the right to evaluate the pertinence of any dedicated IP address request and deny such requests if they do not comply with ARIN regulations. OIIQ retains full control and rights to the IP addresses assigned to you at all times and reserves the right to modify or remove assigned addresses with prior notice.

A dedicated IP address change may incur an unavailability of your web site lasting up to 24 hours, due to DNS propagation.

10. Site Transfers

In most cases, OIIQ can help move your website from any other compatible web hosting provider (also called a website migration). However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and OIIQ can not make guarantees regarding the availability, accuracy, possibility, or time required to complete such a transfer. Each hosting company is different, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it difficult or impossible to migrate some or all account data. We will try our best, but in some cases we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host.

A free site transfer service request can be made within 30 days of a new web hosting, reseller hosting, Cloud or Dedicated server order by opening a Support ticket from your Client Area which includes all necessary information to allow us to connect to your other provider's account and retrieve all your data. Unless otherwise confirmed in writing, free website transfers are limited to a maximum of 10GB of data, 5 email accounts, and one database. More complex migrations should be discussed with our support team prior to being requested.

Site transfer requests placed after the initial 30-day period are subject to our standard Webmaster Help service rates.

11. Affiliate Program

You also agree to directly provide timely support to clients for which you provide resold services, and understand that OIIQ will deny support to your clients if they contact us directly.

In the event that you do not provide support to your resold clients within a reasonable timeframe of 72 hours or less and that these clients reach out to OIIQ for assistance, OIIQ reserves the right to provide the requested services directly to the client, including assisting with an internal migration of their resold account into their own account directly with OIIQ.

13. Search Engine Listing

Price Changes and Discounts

OIIQ reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, a subscription (or any part thereof) with or without notice.

One discount at a time: We offer discounts on our products in different occassions. Only one discount can be applied to a product/subscription at a time. For an example, we offer a certain discount on subscription renewals. If for an occasion, say, Black Friday, there is an ongoing discount campaign, you can only utilize the lately applied discount rate. So, for this example, you cannot use both the renewal and the occassional discount at a time. (Usually, the occassional discounts are bigger than the regular ones.) You can utilize one discount at a single purhcase/renewal.
