Terms of Service

Please read these terms carefully. They form a binding agreement between you and Value Hosted for all hosting and related services.

The Value Hosted Pvt. Ltd. and The Value Hosted LLC (collectively, “Value Hosted,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provide web hosting and related services to you (“Client,” “you,” or “your”) subject to these Terms of Service (“Agreement”).

This Agreement, together with any Addendums and Service Orders (which are incorporated by reference), constitutes the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous discussions, negotiations, and understandings, whether written or oral.

This Agreement takes effect on the date you complete the online signup at https://www.valuehosted.com/clients/, or upon execution of the first Service Order accepted by Value Hosted. You agree to pay Value Hosted for services according to the terms of the Online Order Summary, Addendums, and/or Service Orders relating to each service.

Value Hosted may terminate this Agreement immediately and without notice if you violate this Agreement, our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), any other Value Hosted policy, or applicable law.

1Order Acceptance and Contact Information

All orders are subject to acceptance by Value Hosted. We may decline any order, but we will not do so unreasonably, and we will notify you by email of any intent to delay or decline an order.

Your email on file

You must provide a contact email address that is not hosted at any domain covered by your account with us. This address is our primary channel for abuse notices, billing matters, and any other contact. It is your responsibility to keep it current at all times.

Domain contact details

If you register a domain through Value Hosted, you are responsible for keeping the contact information for both your account and the domain itself accurate and up to date. Value Hosted is not responsible for a lapsed registration caused by outdated contact information. To verify or update this information, contact our sales team by email.

Verification

Providing false contact information of any kind may result in termination of your account. For dedicated server purchases or other high-risk transactions, we may require government-issued identification and, in some cases, a scan of the credit card used for the purchase. Orders that fail these checks may be treated as fraudulent and denied.

2Invoicing, Payment, and Service Activation

New orders

An invoice is generated instantly during the order process and must be paid within 5 days. Unpaid orders are automatically cancelled after 5 days; a new order must be placed afterward.

Existing services

Invoices are generated 7 days before the due date, and a copy is sent to your registered Client Zone email. Payment is due on the invoice due date.

Late payment

  • 5 days past due — service may be suspended.
  • 12 days past due — a 10% late fee is applied to the outstanding balance, in addition to all other amounts owed, and the account remains suspended until the balance is paid in full.
  • After this period — service may be terminated at any time. Accounts we cannot collect on may be referred to an outside collection agency.

Recurring billing

All services are billed in advance of the period in which they are provided, and continue to bill on a recurring basis until you cancel through the proper cancellation process described in Section 6. Value Hosted reserves the right to charge the credit card or other billing method on file. It is your responsibility to keep your payment information current and to ensure invoices are paid on time.

Activation

Services are activated after we have received payment and we and/or our payment partners have screened the order for fraud. Setup times listed on our website are estimates, not guarantees.

Domain renewals

After paying for a domain renewal, you must notify our sales team by email and confirm the email was received and acted upon. Renewal notices and invoices are courtesy reminders only; Value Hosted is not responsible for a failure to renew a domain or a failure to notify you of an upcoming renewal.

3Dedicated IP Address Allocation

Any dedicated IP requested in addition to those included with a hosting package may be subject to IP justification. Our justification practices follow, and may change to remain in conformity with, ARIN/RIPE/APNIC policies. We reserve the right to deny any dedicated IP request based on insufficient justification or current IP utilization.

4Website Transfers

Web hosting

Our transfers team will make every effort to move your site to us. Transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and we cannot guarantee the availability, feasibility, or completion time of any transfer. Hosting platforms differ, and some store data in incompatible or proprietary formats that may make migrating some or all data difficult or impossible. Free transfers are available for 30 days from your signup date; transfers requested after that period incur a charge — contact our sales team with the details for a quote.

Unmanaged VPS and dedicated servers

We do not perform website transfers for these plans.

Fully managed VPS and dedicated servers

We perform website transfers on request at any time. The number of websites transferred at once may be limited by our technical team based on current ticket volume.

↑ Back to top

5Backups and Data Loss

Your use of the service is at your sole risk. Any backup facility we provide is a courtesy only. Value Hosted is not responsible for files or data residing on your account.

You take full responsibility for all files and data transferred to or stored on Value Hosted servers, and for maintaining your own independent backups.

↑ Back to top

6Cancellations and Refunds

How to cancel

Cancellations must be submitted through the cancellation option on the product/service details page in the Client Zone. You may choose immediate cancellation or cancellation at the end of the current billing cycle. We will confirm your cancellation in writing (typically by email). Once a cancellation is confirmed, the service cannot be restored.

Subscription payments

It is your responsibility to stop any external subscription payments (e.g., PayPal subscriptions) after cancelling. Invoices paid more than once through duplicate PayPal subscriptions can only be applied as account credit and cannot be refunded via PayPal.

Money-back guarantee

For your first invoice only, Value Hosted offers:

  • Web Hosting — 10-day money-back guarantee.
  • VPS Hosting — 24-hour (1-day) money-back guarantee.

Refunds under this guarantee require a valid reason. If the reason is a technical issue, it may be escalated to our technical team for resolution, and the refund is subject to the outcome of that resolution.

Exclusions: The money-back guarantee does not apply to domains, software licenses, SSL certificates, IP addresses, product upgrades, or dedicated servers. There are no refunds on dedicated servers, administrative fees, or installation fees for custom software (including Windows OS licenses). There are no refunds on domain registrations or renewals. Credit balances are non-refundable.

Non-refundable payment methods

Payments made by the following methods cannot be refunded to the original payment method; approved refunds will instead be posted as credit to your hosting account:

  • Bank wire transfers (PK/USA)
  • Western Union
  • Checks
  • Money orders
  • EasyPaisa / JazzCash

Exchange rates

All refunds are processed in U.S. dollars/ PKR at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the refund. Value Hosted is not responsible for exchange-rate changes between the time of payment and the time of refund.

Forfeiture

Violating these Terms of Service or the AUP waives the refund policy. No refund will be issued if service is terminated for abuse.

Value Hosted reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or otherwise restrict access to any account at any time, with or without notice.

9Bandwidth Usage

Each account is allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance that varies by hosting package. Bandwidth is measured per calendar month (from the 1st to the last day of the month), not per billing cycle, and usage statistics reset on the last day of each month. Unused bandwidth does not carry over.

If your account exceeds its allowance, we reserve the right to do any of the following: suspend the account until the next allocation period, suspend it until additional bandwidth is purchased, suspend it until you upgrade to a higher package, charge an overage fee, and/or terminate the account.

10VPS and Dedicated Servers

No backups. VPS and dedicated servers are not backed up by Value Hosted. You are solely responsible for maintaining your own backups or backup solution.

Security audits and password resets

Value Hosted reserves the right to reset the password on a dedicated server if the password on file is not current, so that we can perform security audits required by our datacenter. It is your responsibility to keep a valid email address and current root password on file to prevent downtime from forced password resets. Value Hosted reserves the right to audit servers as needed and to perform administrative actions at the request of our datacenter.

↑ Back to top

11Account Security and Compromised Services

Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for the security of your services. This includes, without limitation: your Client Zone, cPanel, email, FTP, SSH, and root passwords; the software you install and run (operating systems, control panels, CMS platforms, plugins, themes, and scripts); keeping that software patched and up to date; and controlling who has access to your account and services.

Activity from your account is your activity

You are responsible for all activity originating from your account, VPS, or dedicated server, whether or not that activity was authorized by you. If your service is used to send spam, host phishing or malware, launch attacks, or engage in any other illegal or abusive activity — including as the result of weak passwords, outdated or vulnerable software, or a third-party compromise — Value Hosted may suspend or terminate the service in accordance with this Agreement and the AUP.

Compromise is not a defense. A claim that your account or server was “hacked” or “compromised” does not excuse the abusive or illegal activity and does not entitle you to automatic reinstatement, nor to any refund or credit for downtime during the suspension.

Reinstatement

Reinstatement of a service suspended for compromise or abuse is at Value Hosted’s sole discretion, and only after you demonstrate to our reasonable satisfaction that the cause of the compromise has been identified and remediated — for example, all passwords reset, malicious files and backdoors removed, and vulnerable software updated or removed. Value Hosted may require a written summary of the remediation steps taken before restoring access, and may charge an administrative fee for investigation, cleanup assistance, or repeated reinstatements.

Repeat compromises

If a service is repeatedly compromised, or if you fail or refuse to remediate a compromise, Value Hosted may permanently terminate the service without refund.

12Pricing

The renewal price of a service you have already purchased will not increase from the price in effect on your date of purchase. Value Hosted reserves the right to change the prices listed on valuehosted.com for new purchases at any time, and to increase the resources included in any plan at any time.

↑ Back to top

13Coupons and Discounts

Discounts and coupon codes are reserved for first-time accounts or first-time customers only and may not be applied to domain registrations unless otherwise specified. Coupons apply only to the initial purchase and do not affect renewal or recurring prices unless otherwise specified.

14Monitoring

Value Hosted services, including all related equipment, networks, and network devices, are provided only for authorized customer use. Our systems may be monitored for all lawful purposes, including verifying authorized use, managing the system, protecting against unauthorized access, and verifying security procedures, survivability, and operational security. During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied, and used for authorized purposes. Use of Value Hosted systems constitutes consent to monitoring for these purposes.

You will take all necessary measures to prevent Value Hosted from being made a party to any lawsuit or claim relating to the service provided to or by you or any end user. You agree to indemnify Value Hosted and hold it harmless from any and all claims of whatever nature brought by anyone against Value Hosted in excess of the remedy set forth in this Agreement.
