We will setup your account after we have received payment and we and/or our payment partner(s) have screened the order(s) in case of fraud. It is your responsibility to provide us with an email address which is not @ the domain(s) you are signing up under. If there is ever an abuse issue or we need to contact you, the primary email address on file will be used for this purpose. It is your responsibility to ensure the email address on file is current or up to date at all times. Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of your account. In dedicated server purchases or high risk transactions, it will be necessary to provide government issued identification and possibly a scan of the credit card used for the purchase. If you fail to meet these requirements, the order may be considered fraudulent in nature and be denied.

Our transfers team will make every effort to help you move your site to us, however, we can not make guarantees of the transfer process. We provide this as a courtesy service and can not make guarantees regarding its availability or the amount of time it may take as each host is configured a little differently. We will try our best, however, in some cases we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host.

We maintain remote backup for all cPanel Accounts (including website files, databases, emails, cron jobs, SSL certs and dns zones) on our Startup, CMS and Reseller SH1 servers, taken at least twice a week. We separately maintain remote backup for all databases, taken daily with 7 days retention.

However, the backup which we maintain is solely meant for administrative purposes in the event of disaster recovery and is not necessarily meant to replace your own backup plan(s). You agree to take full responsibility for all files and data hosted in your account, and to maintain all appropriate backup of files and data stored on our servers. Sasahost is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your account.

There is no single backup system that is not susceptible to failures and we cannot accept any responsibility should our courtesy backup be unavailable for any reason including but not limited to software issues, data corruption and hardware failure. We strongly recommend and encourage clients to maintain their own regular backup.

Sasahost now offers affordable remote backup plans [added optionally to your hosting order], with which you can be able to maintain hourly, daily and weekly off-site backups for your critical data, easily managed via your cPanel.

You have the overall responsibility of ensuring that you manage your hosting account/data wisely, carefully and professionally at all times, to avoid or minimize data corruption or data loss.

Dedicated Server and VPS services are not backed up by Sasahost, unless the remote ssh (rsync) backup plan is selected during checkout.

Sasahost gives you an unconditional 45 days money back guarantee on Basic/Personal Web Hosting,  Enterprise/Corporate Hosting, and reseller SH1 hosting accounts. There are no refunds on VPS, dedicated servers, administrative fees, setup fees and install fees for custom software.

Domain name registration, ID protection and domain renewal fees are not refundable. Once a domain is registered or renewed, you will retain its ownership until the end of its registration period unless you renew it.

Only first-time accounts are eligible for a refund. For example, if you’ve had an account with us before, cancelled and signed up again, you will not be eligible for a refund or if you have opened a second account with us. Violations of the Terms of Service will waive the refund policy.

You may cancel at any time by submitting a cancellation request via your Client Area. In such event: (i) you shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such cancellation and (ii) Sasahost may, in our sole discretion, refund all pre-paid fees for multi-tenant [shared] 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.

If you are a VPS or Dedicated Server Customer, you must provide 30 days written notice prior to cancellation. Further, you shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such cancellation. We reserve the right to enforce collection measures against you, including reporting you to credit reference bureaus, commencing legal action and/or engaging debt collection agencies to recover all fees and charges accrued, including without limitation, any arbitration and legal fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Sasahost reserves the right to review every account for excessive usage of CPU, disk space and other resources that may be caused by a violation of this Agreement. Sasahost reserves the right to apply additional fees, or restrict those accounts that are found to be in violation of this Agreement.

The use of more then 250,000 Inodes will result in account suspension. Accounts found exceeding 100,000 INODES will not be backed up on our backup servers. A INODE is the actual file or directory and not the size of that file or directory. For example your index.html file is 1 INODE. A directory called homework is counted as 1 INODE as well.

You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month.

If your shared / reseller server has a physical downtime that is not within the 99.9% up time you may receive one month of credit on your account. Approval of the credit is at the discretion of Sasahost dependent upon 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 up time of the server is defined as the reported up time from the operating system of the server which may differ from the up time reported by individual services. To request a credit, please contact sales[a]Sasahost.co.ke with justification. All requests must be made in writing via email. Up time guarantees only apply to shared / 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 up time guarantee.

Resellers are responsible for supporting their clients. Sasahost does not provide support to our Reseller’s Clients. If a reseller’s client contacts us, we reserve the right to place the client account on hold until the reseller can assume their responsibility for their client. All support requests must be made by the reseller on their clients’ behalf for security purposes. Resellers are also responsible for all content stored or transmitted under their reseller account and the actions of their clients’. Sasahost will hold any reseller responsible for any of their clients actions that violate the law or the terms of service.

Shared accounts may not resell web hosting to other people, if you wish to resell hosting you must use a reseller account. Semidedicated servers are not backed up. You must maintain your own backups.

Sasahost reserves the right to reset the password on a dedicated server if the password on file is not current so that we may do security audits as required by our datacenter. It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that there is a valid email address and current root password on file for their dedicated server on file to prevent downtime from forced password resets. Sasahost reserves the right to audit servers as needed and to perform administrative actions at the request of our datacenter. Dedicated servers are NOT backed up by us and it is the responsibility of the client to maintain backups or have a solution for this. You may purchase an additional hard drive and maintain backups to it as the most simple solution. Please contact sales[a]Sasahost.co.ke if you wish to obtain a secondary hard drive. It is your responsibility to maintain backups.
