Billing

By the Account Activation Date of each month, JIGU IDC - Jigu International .inc shall either: (1) debit the client's credit card (when such information has been provided by the client); or (2) deliver, by e-mail, an invoice in accordance with the applicable Service Fees for Services rendered for the current month. Invoices are generated 14 days prior to the original Account Activation Date, and payment shall be remitted to JIGU IDC - Jigu International .inc by no later than the specified payment due date. JIGU IDC - Jigu International .inc shall be entitled to immediately terminate this agreement for client's failure to make timely payments. Credit cards can be billed automatically unless a direct request is made to our Billing team via our panel not to do so, at least 48hours prior to the payment due date. It is the client's responsibility to ensure that they have sufficient funds to cover all transactions. In the event of payment failure, an automated invoice reminder will continue being sent. It is the customer's responsibility to provide an alternate payment method before the due date is reached. All late payments may result in account or service suspension. Invoices not paid before or on the due date will incur a late fee of 5% of the total amount that remains unpaid on the invoice.

Service suspension and termination

Invoices are issued 14 days prior to the applicable due date for each active service. A warning e-mail will be sent after the due date is passed without a payment being received and an invoice being marked as PAID. Failure to pay within 24 hours will result in an immediate suspension of your service and a suspension notification will be sent via email. Starting at midnight (EST) of the 3rd day after the due date, unpaid services will be terminated. JIGU IDC - Jigu International .inc does not guarantee that your service may be recuperated after termination and may not be held liable for loss of data, licensing rights, promotional prices or conditions, as well as any attached devices or secondary IP addresses following service termination.

Service fees

Certain services carry a setup fee charged by JIGU IDC - Jigu International .inc to client, which must be paid by client in order to have use of said services. If client terminates this agreement, client shall be responsible for any and all outstanding fees owed to JIGU IDC - Jigu International .inc and agrees to pay any and all fees incurred by client. Because the services are provided on a monthly basis, the client will be responsible for service fees incurred each month, regardless of when client provides notice of termination. Thus, for example, if the client provides notice of termination on the 15th day of a particular month, the client will be responsible for service fees for the entire month, and such fees will not be pro-rated or refunded.

Fraud and payment verification

Upon receiving a new customer's first paid order, JIGU IDC - Jigu International .inc reserves the right to issue an Order Verification e-mail, requesting further information in order to validate your account. Until all required information is provided and deemed satisfactory by our fraud verification team, no services or support can be provided. The 3 business day delivery time starts after the verification step is passed. Verification is not necessary for all orders, and may be requested again any time you change your payment method.

Money back guarantee & refund policy

We offer a 7 day Money back policy for undelivered servers. This does not apply to purchases made with a discount of 25% or more. These purchases are final, and non refundable.

Refunds: If client has retained the services for longer than one month and has pre-paid JIGU IDC - Jigu International .inc for such services, refunds will not be issued for any unused portion of the lease, as your purchase benefits from a long-term rebate. Therefore, if a client's account is cancelled at any point during a 3 month, 6 month or one-year term, the client will not be entitled to a refund for the months remaining.

Trial periods

We do not offer trial periods of any kind for dedicated servers. Abusing our 10 day refund policy in order to test our services then get a refund is not acceptable, and no refunds will be made without proper justification, or failure on JIGU IDC - Jigu International .inc's behalf to provide the services purchased.

NB: Adherence to the Priority or VIP support plans is not refundable under any circumstance. We also will not refund servers mistakenly purchased in the wrong location; this includes servers purchased in a geo-located city as this information is made clearly available for all such cities.

General refund guidelines

We will not refund or credit under the following circumstances:

• Geo-location or mistake in location
• Failing to ask a question on the nature of our services, or a particular spec or configuration.
• Account termination or suspension due to non-following of our Terms of Service.
• Account termination or suspension due to any kind of illegal activity.
• Service termination or suspension due to non-payment, or late payment of any services, licenses, or add-ons attached to said services
• Already given credits
• Changing your mind
• Funds added to the account

We reserve the final decision on refunds, based on the situation and reason for cancellation. The general rule is, if there is an issue on a server, our staff will dedicate themselves to fixing it. Any delays that prevent our customer from using their server will be credited, and issues that we are simply unable to solve will be refunded. It is important to note that refund requests based on information that was included in the terms of service or clearly available on our website will always be refused. For example, if a customer has purchased a geo-located server in lieu of a physically located server. Please issue a request to our support staff before making such a purchase.

About datacenter locations

While most of our announced locations are where the datacenters are, JIGU IDC - Jigu International .inc reserves the right to setup a server in a location nearby (in the same country), generally just outside of the city boundaries. You may obtain the exact datacenter location upfront by contacting our support team.

Cancellation requests and refunds

We DO NOT refund partial cost of your services. We require a 7-days notification prior to an invoice’s due date for cancelling a service. No refund can be issued for incomplete billing cycles, even if a cancellation request is issued prior to the 7-days period. Following the 7-days period, the previously generated invoice will have to be paid before issuing a cancellation request. The server will then be cancelled on the following due date.

Refusal of service

We reserve the right to refuse, cancel or suspend service, at our sole discretion.
