  5. 5. Backup Services
    1. As per our product details, AblePage provides daily backup service for all hosting clients. The backup service is provided on an as-is and as-available basis, as a supplement to, and not in lieu of your own backup strategies. While we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that our backup service is effectively operating, you agree that no backup program or service is error-free or fail-safe. The backup service may be used to restore data, however, the data restoration may not always result in the data retaining the same or similar configuration.

      - Startup: 10 Daily Backups Retained
      - Pro: 20 Daily Backups Retained

Should we determine, at our sole and exclusive judgment, to provide the data to you it will be provided at our convenience.

    5. It is prohibited to purchase a second hosting account with the primary purpose of re-claiming a first term discount (for example, the action of purchasing a second hosting account under the first term discount, migrating your first hosting account's data to that new account, and cancelling the first account is prohibited). In such cases, AblePage reserves the right to invoice you the full (non-discounted) rate to your new package minus any fees already paid for the new package.

A fifty dollar ($50 USD) investigation fee (per chargeback/dispute) will be applied to the associated billing account and services will not be re-activated until these fees has been paid in full, and the chargeback has been resolved. AblePage reserves the right to reject the future use of any and all payment methods from an account for which a chargeback has been previously issued.

All billing disputes must be reported within thirty (30) days of the time that the dispute occurs. Chargebacks (via PayPal or any credit card company) initiated by the Customer are against the Agreement and are subject to immediate suspension or termination of the account.
    2. As per the 30 Day Money Back Guarantee, the Customer may submit a ticket and request a refund for the original payment for a shared hosting package. The request must be sent within 30 days of the signup date, otherwise, the Money Back Guarantee is no longer valid. Setup fees, domain names, dedicated IP addresses, or other add-on products and charges are not valid under the Money Back Guarantee. In the event that a free item is given as part of a promotional offer, the refund will be equivalent to the original paid amount minus the listed price of the free item. The Money Back Guarantee is void and not applicable to any Customer or hosting account that violates any section of the Agreement.
    3. The 30 day money back guarantee will only be applicable once per new customer. A new customer is defined as a customer never having previously purchased a Service from AblePage in the past.
    4. As per the Service Level Agreement, AblePage offers a percentage discount in the event of server downtime. AblePage guarantees 99.9% uptime, and will offer account credit based on the length of downtime, not to exceed the full one-month payment. No cash will be offered. Server monitoring and determination of downtime will be performed and determined at the end of the month by AblePage alone. Clients must request their refund via Support Ticket within 30 days of downtime incident, otherwise no refund will be awarded.
    5. Refunds will only be offered on the actual hosting fee, not any setup or addon fees. Refunds for downtime will be offered as follows. Uptime is to be reported to a tenth of a percent (if additional decimal places are reported, the number will be rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent).
