Welcome to SonServers Christian Web Hosting 

Agreement and Terms of Service

The mission of SonServers Christian Web Hosting is to provide Christians with the best hosting services possible. To do this, we have to set and maintain some guidelines for our customers to follow.

    Ordering an account with us means that you agree with, and will abide by the terms below. We reserve the right to refuse service to, or close any account that we find to be outside these guidelines, or that do not stay within what we believe to be good Christian practice.

In this agreement, Sonservers.Com is referred to "we" "our", and "us" and the customer is referred to as"client", "you", and "your".

Satisfaction Guarantee: If you are not fully satisfied with our hosting services, you may cancel within the first 30 days of service and we will refund the hosting fees paid. Domain registrations are non-refundable. Refunds will not be given if the client has not adhered to the conditions below.

SonServers Responsibility: We will be responsible to maintain our servers and keep them in the best working order possible.  In good faith, we will do all possible to keep our servers up and accessible to your visitors. Ordering an account with us means you understand that we will not be held liable or responsible for any server "down time" as we can not control the many factors that can contribute to loss of service. This release of reliability covers both financial and data loss.

This list is not complete and if we find anything that we feel does not fit within good Christian Practice, you will be asked to remove the offending content or face the possibility of account closure. Account closure due to any client's refusal to comply with these restrictions will result in forfeiture of any prepaid services.
