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.

merchandising, any type of illegal activities or content, any
anti-Christian, demonic, occult, satanic, or new age promotions,
pro-choice or pro-abortion supporting views, or any obvious
misconstruing of the Holy Bible. 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.
