Article 3 - Responsibility for Payment
You are responsible for all charges, costs, expenses and other fees (the “Fees”) associated with
your use of the Services once our Services are made available to you.
Your first invoice is generated at the time you purchase the Services.
An invoice, which will include the duration and price of such renewal for any Renewal Term, is
generated fourteen (14) days prior to the first day of the Renewal Term (the “Due Date”) unless
other arrangements have been made or a cancellation request has been submitted from the client
portal. The invoice will also be available in the “My Invoices” section of the Client Portal. You
are responsible for the fees and charges set out within the emailed invoice you pay on the Effective
Date and any other invoice generated for a Renewal Term. If paying by credit card, Paypal Billing
Agreement, or any other payment method capable of automatic charge, you will be charged on the Due
Date. New Services, packages or domains that are ordered and unpaid after seven (7) days will be
canceled.In the event that the customer fails to pay for services given, BroHosting may assign

Price Adjustments. To remain competitive, we occasionally make changes to our plans and pricing. To
have your plan updated to current offerings please contact our billing team. We cannot go back and
modify invoices that have already been paid but will be happy to modify your plan for new invoices.
To remain competitive, we occasionally make changes to our plans and pricing for reasons that
include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in non-US Dollar denominated currencies, as detailed
in Section 7(b) below. No price changes will be effective without your consent in the middle of an
initial term or any Renewal Term but prices may change between Renewal Terms. All price changes will
be reflected in the emailed invoice sent to you before any Renewal Term begins.
The charges, which may include an adjusted price after you consent to such adjustment OR a new
Renewal Term starts, will be applied on the Due Date, as specified above. YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR
SUBSCRIPTION TO AVOID AN INVOICE TRIGGERING PAYMENT OF THE ADJUSTED PRICE BEING PROCESSED FOR A
RENEWAL TERM.

modify invoices that have already been paid but will be happy to modify your plan, and adjust prices
for Services, for new invoices that have not yet been paid for any Renewal Term.
Cancellation or Consent to Mid-Term Price Changes. In the event a material change in our business or
our supplier’s prices or services requires us to alter our Services offering to you in the middle of
the initial or Renewal Term, we will provide you a notice specifying the proposed change(s) in
reasonable detail. In the event of such material change(s) to the Services, including but not
limited to a change to the duration of the then-current term, the scope or type of Services being
offered or the price for such Services, you will have thirty (30) days from the date of such notice
to either: (i) consent to the change(s) and accept the altered terms for the Services from the date
of your consent or (ii) allow the Services to be terminated after the thirty (30) day period
expires. If you do not consent to the changes and accept the altered scope within the thirty (30)
day time period, you acknowledge and agree that BroHosting may terminate the Services before the end
of the then-current term without further notice or consent.

In order to deliver a secure high performance hosting environment, we utilize certain automated
systems to limit malicious and resource-intensive activity. In some instances, non-malicious
activity can appear to be malicious and trigger our systems, which may limit your ability to use our
Services as set forth in Section 3(d)(iii) of the TOS. Such limitations may result in bandwidth
throttling or suspension or termination of your account, in our sole discretion. In these
situations, any interruption, suspension or change in the availability of the Services will not be
considered downtime and will not be eligible for a service credit.

providing us with your account payment information, you give us consent to charge you on the Due
Date of any invoices linked to the account. Please see our invoice for wire transfer banking
information.

Hungarian Forints and, whenever possible, we will attempt to charge in the currency you select upon
checkout unless the payment gateway does not support the currency, in which case, the currency will
be converted to HUF and charged in HUF.
Prices displayed in other currencies are shown according to exchange rates posted that day but may
differ from your final rate given to you by your bank. Additionally, RATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE,
which may result in increases or decreases in non-US Dollar denominated prices charged for the

administrator of your selected method of payment. BroHosting is not responsible for these charges.

for data migration purposes. Before requesting Services that may require a data migration to occur,
you hereby agree to backup all of your data on both the source and the target servers, as
appropriate.

payment for the package price difference is paid. If you would like to move to another data center
without upgrading your account, there is a twenty-five dollar ($25) migration fee.

current package price already paid over the new package price will be placed on the billing account
as a service credit. Refunds will not be issued and a twenty-five dollar ($25) downgrade migration
fee may be charged. Please contact the sales or billing department if considering an upgrade or
downgrade to determine what options are suitable and to discuss pricing.
Migrations From Other Hosts. All migration-related work is included as a Service for purposes of our
Policies.
All complementary migrations require the user to provide cPanel account credentials for their
previous hosting environment.

migration team and assessed based on the complexity of the migration.

previous host does not provide cPanel access, a migration fee may be assessed.
