When signing up for a web hosting service with Demo Account, customers agree to AUP (this document) and the specified Terms & Conditions in this document. Thus, Demo Account will utilize this document as an evidence for the customer's agreement in cases of a chargeback inquiry on behalf of the customer based on points that the client tries to refute after he accepted them at the time of the order.

   2. LiquidNet Ltd. will charge customers with fees based on the fee structure at the time of the sign-up process. LiquidNet Ltd. reserves the right to introduce changes to the packages when needed regarding price and set of features.

In order to escape unjust distribution of the resources, as well as possible sharing of illegal content, the Customers are not allowed to use their hosting accounts as a remote storage server only or solely for the purpose of sharing (un)archived images, programs or sound files. At least 80% of all files and/or total megabytes used (including MP3, WAV, RA, GIF, JPG, ZIP, RAR, but not limited to these file extensions) in each hosting account must be a part of actual, active website(s) content, i.e. all content files must have corresponding HTML or PHP files, which link to them.

16. SERVICE EXPIRATION AND RENEWAL
    The hosting service is active for one year (365 days). After that period of time, the account will be automatically suspended until the Customer renews it by paying the annual subscription fee. In case the Customer does not renew his hosting account, it will remain BLOCKED. The account's data will be kept for two months, after that it will be permanently deleted.
    
    The redemption period is a registry level period of up to 30 days that occurs when a domain name is deleted after it expires without being renewed. Instead of just being deleted and returned to the pool of domain names available for registration, the registry holds the name in a REDEMPTION PERIOD. During this 30-day period, the original domain registrant may retrieve the domain name from deletion for an additional fee by contacting the registrar.
    
    This extra 30-day period extends the time available to renew expired domain names. However, all names that enter the redemption period are removed from the zone files (the list of domains currently in the global DNS); therefore, any web site or e-mail services associated with the domain name will stop working.
    
    After the 30-day redemption period there is a 5-day pending delete phase. When a domain is in this phase no one can retrieve the domain and it cannot be registered. After the 5-day pending delete phase the registry will release the domain name back into the public pool of available domain names.
    
    We strongly recommend that you renew your domain registration before the domain name is placed in redemption. If your domain name is placed into redemption, we cannot prevent the zone files being removed from the DNS and your web site and any associated services will cease to work.
    
    We can assist in retrieveing your domain only if your domain was registered with us. If your domain was registered with another registrar, you must contact that registrar for information regarding retrieving your domain name. You will be charged with a REDEMPTION FEE of $190.00 USD for the domain registration renewal.
