providing. Visions Multimedia also disclaims any warranty of merchant-ability
or fitness for a particular purpose and will not be responsible

loss of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries or service interruptions
by any cause or errors or omissions of the subscriber. Visions Multimedia
shall not be responsible for any claimed damages, including incidental
and consequential damages, which may arise from our servers going
off-line or being unavailable for any reason whatsoever. Client
understands that there are many factors that influence availability
and speed of a connection to the Internet such that the inability
to access a particular Website account may not, in fact, have anything
to do whatsoever with services provided by Visions Multimedia. Questions
pertaining to server or resource availability can be directed to:
support at visionsmm.com.
Cancellation:
Cancellation can be made via email to visions at
visionsmm.com. Although no notice is required, and there is no cancellation
fee, all fees paid for service up to the notice of cancellation
are non-refundable. If cancellation is made within the first 30
days of service all hosting fees will be refunded. This does not
include fees for domain registration.
Billing and Payment for Services:
Visions Multimedia accepts personal/business checks from standard
hosting clients who are current residents of the United States of
America and submit checks drawn from US bank accounts. Check payers
will be invoiced via mail. The invoice is payable net 30 days from
issue. If payment is not received in 30 days, then an overdue invoice
will be issued via mail. If payment is not received within 15 days
of the overdue invoice, the clients account will be suspended and
will no longer be accessible. If the account goes beyond 60 days,
the clients data will be deleted from the server and the account
terminated.
Suspension:
Activity which results in a suspension or deactivation
of an account will result in a forfeiture of fees paid. Complaints
made regarding abuses of an account will be grounds for suspension.
There will be a $35 fee for reestablishing an account that has been
terminated.
Refusal of Service:
We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or suspend
service at our sole discretion.
All sub-networks, distributive hosting sites, and
dedicated servers of Visions Multimedia must adhere to the above
policies. Please direct any reports of violations of the above policies
to support at visionsmm.com.
Failure to follow any term or condition will be
grounds for immediate account deactivation.
