If Your selected payment method is invalid or You are otherwise past due in Your payments for any reason, the Service and other Services in the same order may be terminated without notice. Reactivation of the Service, if possible, after termination or cancellation for any reason will require the payment of additional fees.

- TERM
- Term. The initial term of Your Services starts on the first date that You register with the Company or use any Service, including by visiting any of our websites, and will remain in effect for the period of time corresponding to the plan You selected ("Initial Term"). At the end of the Initial Term, an invoice for recurring fees will be sent to you via email to the email address You use as your Aabaco ID. The invoice will contain a link to our payment system so that you can charge the recurring fees charged in advance to Your selected payment method. Once Your payment is received your Service will renew for the same period of time as the Initial Term (a "Renewal Term"). The "Term" means the Initial Term and all Renewal Terms, if any. If You do not cancel prior to the start of a Renewal Term, You agree to renew Your subscription for the Renewal Term, and Your Service will be renewed at the then-current rates and fees. Except as set forth in this Agreement, neither party will be liable to the other for any termination or expiration of any Service or this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
- Cancellation/Termination by You. You may cancel Your Service and terminate this Agreement at any time. To cancel any Service, You must sign in to Your account and either go to the My Services tab, and follow the instructions, or go to the Contact Us page to register an email request. An early termination fee may apply. Any cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current Term, and You remain responsible for all fees accrued on Your account until such time. No refund will be provided for any payments You have made for any Service. After cancellation is effective, You will no longer have access to Your Services and all information and Content contained therein may be deleted by the Company.
- Termination by the Company. We may terminate this Agreement or any of the Services at any time, for any reason, upon notice to You. The Company may, but has no duty to, immediately suspend or terminate Your Service, terminate Your access and password, remove Your Service from the Company's servers, or remove any information or data within the Service, if the Company concludes, in its sole discretion, that You (a) have breached this Agreement, or any applicable law or regulation; (b) have provided false information as part of Your registration; (c) have failed to keep Your account information complete, true, and accurate; (d) are engaged in fraudulent or illegal activities or the sale of illegal or harmful goods or services; (e) are engaged in activities or sales that may damage the rights or reputation of the Company or others; (f) have caused a significant number of complaints for failing to be reasonably accessible to customers or timely fulfill customer orders; or (g) have become the subject of a government complaint or investigation (each "Termination for Cause"). Any Termination for Cause by the Company will take effect immediately, and You expressly agree that You will not have any opportunity to cure. If the Yahoo ID associated with Your Business Mail Services is terminated by Yahoo Holdings, Inc. for any reason, this Agreement and Your access to the other Services may also be terminated. If You registered a new domain name in conjunction with Your Service, and the Company terminates Your Service due to a Termination for Cause, then the Company reserves the right to request the domain name provider to remove the domain name from the domain name registry and/or transfer the domain name from You to the Company. You acknowledge that if the Company transfers such domain name to the Company, the Company will hold all rights of the registered domain name holder in respect of that domain name, including the right to sell the domain name to a third party.
- Termination: Legal Event. If a ruling, regulation, or order issued by a judicial, legislative, or regulatory body causes the Company to believe that this Agreement and/or any Service may be in conflict with such rules, regulations, and/or orders, the Company may suspend or terminate the Service or this Agreement without liability.
- Effect of Termination of Services. Upon any cancellation or termination of a Service, including for past due payments, the Company reserves the right to permanently delete from its servers all information and Content contained in Your account or Service, including order processing information, mailing lists, files, email, and any websites generated by You or the Service. The Company accepts no liability for such deleted information or Content. Upon termination of the Service, You are solely responsible for all domain name renewals, ongoing fees, and removing the Company as the billing, technical contact, and name server in connection with Your domain name, unless the Company notifies You otherwise. If You do not redelegate or transfer Your domain after any cancellation or termination of Your Service, Your domain registration will expire and the Company may, at our discretion, assume the domain registration for our own account, delete it, or sell it to a third party. You agree that Your right and interest in a domain name ceases upon its expiration, and that any expired domain name may be made available for registration by a third party. All sections of the Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.
- Responsibility for Fees. If the Company suspends a portion of Your Services due to a violation by You of this Agreement or any law, regulation, or Policy, You will remain liable for all fees applicable to the Service as a whole. If the Company terminates Your Services, You are liable for the payment of all fees applicable to the Services up to the date of termination, in addition to any early termination fees.
- Waiver. You expressly waive any statutory or other legal protection in conflict with the provisions of this Section 5.
- 30-day satisfaction guarantee. The 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee applies to new orders for Web Hosting or WordPress Hosting, and to existing customers who upgrade to Web Hosting or WordPress Hosting from Domain only or standalone Business Mail accounts. Subject to the following limitations, you will receive a refund of your hosting fee (other than the domain registration charge), including any setup fees actually assessed, if you are not completely satisfied. Included in your Web Hosting or WordPress Hosting fee may be a required yearly domain registration charge. Domain registration is arranged on your behalf with a third party following placement of your order and cannot be canceled by that third party (your domain can, however, be transferred to a new provider after 60 days). The associated domain registration charge is nonrefundable - even if you transfer to a new provider after 60 days. If the total Web Hosting or WordPress Hosting fee paid by you is less than the non-refundable domain registration charge paid on your behalf, you will not be eligible for a refund under the 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. The Satisfaction Guarantee period starts on the date your initial order is placed. Claims for a refund of Web Hosting or WordPress Hosting fees must be made within 30 calendar days of your initial order. All refund requests must be made by calling 1-833-689-8585 and must be specifically requested at time of cancellation. Refunds will be made only to the name, address, and credit card account on file. Refund does not apply to any add-on services, such as additional bandwidth, additional email addresses, or Private Domain Registration.
