Forms
of payment:
MetaPros currently accepts credit cards (Visa,
MasterCard, American Express, Discover), personal
checks, business checks, money orders, and international
money orders. Checks must be in U.S. currency,
and must be drawn on a U.S. bank.
Billing
period:
At the customer's option, accounts are billed
monthly (credit card only), quarterly, semiannually,
or annually. Payment is due on the date of each
anniversary of the payment period. Credit cards
are charged automatically on the anniversary
date of the payment period unless we receive
written or explicit instructions indicating
otherwise.
Initial
payment:
Initial (account activation) payments by check,
wire transfer or money order is due 7 days from
signup. If you do not expect that your initial
payment will arrive within a week of signup,
please contact MetaPros immediately to avoid
account suspension.
Special
policy for international users:
MetaPros prefers credit card as the payment
method for international customers. However,
MetaPros accepts payment by international money
order and other international forms of U.S.
currency drawn from a United States bank account.
If you do not expect initial payment to arrive
within 7 days, please fax us a receipt indicating:
1) that payment has been mailed, or
2) that the payment process has been initiated,
along with an approximate estimated time of
arrival for your payment.
Invoicing:
MetaPros normal method of sending account billing
notices and invoices is by email to the billing
email address on record for the account. You
are to keep MetaPros notified of the correct
billing email and postal mailing addresses by
updating your information from your account
control panel. You are to notify MetaPros if
you do not receive the billing notices and invoices.
Because of the nature of the Internet email
system, MetaPros does not guarantee that:
- the emailed notices and invoices have left
our network,
- the emailed notices and invoices are received
by the customer,
- or the emailed notices and invoices received
by the customer are unaltered by transmission
through the internet.
A
courtesy notice is normally sent to the billing
email address on record for the hosting account
about 4 weeks before the payment is due.
Payment should be received on or before the
due date regardless of whether the notice
was sent by MetaPros
or
received by you.
For
a hosting account paying by check, you are to
send the payment in advance of the due date
so that the payment is received by MetaPros
on or before the due date.
For
a hosting account paying by credit card, credit
cards are billed automatically on the accounts
due date. It is the clients' responsibility
to ensure that they have sufficient credit to
cover this transaction.
The
customer has the option of having the billing
notices and invoices sent by U.S. Postal Service.
There is an additional fee for this option.
If you need this option, please notify us by
sending an email message via the "Email
Support" section of your account control
panel or via a signed letter or fax. Indicate
clearly in the message that you would like billing
notices and invoices sent by U.S. Postal Service
and are willing to pay the additional fee.
Returned/bounced
checks and chargebacks:
Returned checks and credit card chargebacks
are subject to
a $20 fee.
Past-Due
policy:
If a client has a balance on his or her account
that is past due, we have a specific policy
to make it clear exactly what would happen:
7 days past due - Account suspended
30 days past due - Account deleted
In
the event of account deletion, any previous
balance would still be due on your account.
Suspensions/Deletions are made automatically,
so as you can see it is very important to be
punctual when remitting payment. Should collection
activities become necessary, customer will be
responsible for paying all fees associated with
said activity.
Account
deactivations:
Any account deactivated due to non-payment will
be deactivated and will require a reactivation
fee of $25.00 to be paid prior to reactivating
the account.
Account
name changes:
There is a $15.00 fee to change the primary
domain of a hosting account.
Data
transfer usage exceeding plan limits:
An account that has exceeded the maximum monthly
data transfer limit for the previous month will
be charged for each occurrence as follows:
- The standard package rate for
additional data transfer usage, and
- A $5.00 service fee.
Domain name registration renewals:
When the registration for a domain name that is used for an active hosting account at MetaPros is coming due for renewal and MetaPros is the registration service provider for the domain name, MetaPros will automatically renew the registration and charge the hosting account for the standard registration renewal fee. The client must make arrangements with MetaPros at least 30 days before the registration expiration date if the client does not want MetaPros to act on renewing the registration. If MetaPros is not the registration's service provider, then MetaPros will not renew the registration and the client should contact their registration service provider.
30
day money back guarantee/refunds:
Regular Hosting Clients - Should you become
unsatisfied with our services within the first
30 days of your account activation, MetaPros
Website Solutions will refund your hosting fee.
Cancellation
refunds:
For accounts cancelling after the 30-day initial
account activation period, MetaPros will issue
refunds for any unused months remaining in the
paid billing period based in this criteria:
- Refunds are issued only for payments made by credit card.

Partial
monthly fees are not refunded.

term rate.
