If you exceed
your allotted disk usage for your account, you will be billed a rate
of $0.95 (USD) per MB purchased in 5M increments. Your disk usage is calculated
by the average amount of space you have used each day in a thirty
day period. Your disk usage is calculated and billed on the 5th day
of every month. Please remember that your log files count as disk
usage and you should back them up or reset them regularly, especially
if you have a high traffic site. Less than 1% of TPG's customer base
exceeds its disk space allocations. Most web sites only require 5
to 7 MBs of disk space. The entire TPG web site is less than 18 MB.
TPG offers a quarterly, semi-annual, and annual billing cycle to all customers
for all accounts. The default billing cycle for packages and services are as follows, unless other
arrangements are made prior to account creation:
- "Hosting only" services: bi-annually
- Maintenance Package 1: Month To Month Web Site Maintenance: monthly
- All Web Site Design Packages: upon signing of contract, 30% deposit is required. Upon completion and acceptance of initial design concept,
additional 30% payment is required. Upon completion of site to customer satisfaction remaining balance is required.
All other services and packages are billed quarterly. If you have billing questions please your our online
contact form.
TPG charges 12¢
per MB should you exceed your allotted data transfer. TPG offers dedicated
bandwidth packages for customers who require greater amounts of bandwith. Only
a handful of customers exceed TPG's generous data transfer allocations.
The majority of TPG's customers are legitimate, honest and responsible business
people. In order for us to provide the high quality services
at the low prices that we do, we must maintain
solvency. Managing our accounts receivable is an integral part of
doing business successfully for any business. Please read the following policy carefully
so there is no misunderstanding:
Unless other arrangements have
been agreed upon or supplied to you, if you sign up for an account before
the 23rd of the month you are billed for the full amount. If you sign
up after the 23rd, your bill will be prorated out at 50%. If your
account becomes overdue after the due date on the invoice the following
will occur. You will receive a reminder via email that we have not
received your payment. If payment is not received within 5 days of
your past due date your service will be restricted and functionality
be denigrated. If your account becomes more that 60 days past
due, your data will be removed from the servers and your account will
be referred to our collection and legal services. If you fail to
pay for services rendered, we will report the delinquency to the credit
bureau which will impact your credit rating. If we pursue a legal
remedy and obtain a judgement against you, we will seek to enforce
that judgement. If you pay and we receive a notice of returned payment
for any reason to include insufficient funds and/or fraud, we will
charge you a minimum service fee of $20 (USD). We will also charge you all
associated costs to include attorney and collection fees. We look
forward to a mutually beneficial business relationship.
In the event that your account is deactivated due to nonpayment, your payment must include
the $25 (USD) reactivation fee per IP for your account(s) to be
reactivated. You may send us a money order via your choice of overnight courier
or other means. You may cancel your account at any time and you will only be billed
through the end of the month or billing cycle in which you cancel. Cancellations are
done once a month at the end of the month by our staff.
Invoices are aged from the date of the order. Finance charges will be assessed to
all accounts with invoices 30 days or more past due. The finance
charge amount is calculated for each invoice or previous finance charge
entry by the number
of days past due, times the daily finance charge rate (.18 divided
by 365). If the calculated finance charge amount is less than
the minimum finance charge of $0.75 (USD), the minimum amount will be used
instead of the calculated amount.
In order to protect your data, TPG requires a signed document requesting cancellation
of virtual server accounts. We apologize for any inconvenience, but
experience has demonstrated that this is a necessary precaution to
prevent erroneous deletion of data or malicious activity conducted
against data.
A TPG representative will contact you immediately. The cancellation
request is only complete and will be acted upon by TPG once TPG receives
the written request with your signature. Upon receipt, TPG will cancel your account
effective the end of your current billing cycle and notify you of
any outstanding balance.
