GeekStorage does not control or monitor the information or data you store on, or transmit through, the Services. We specifically disclaim any representation or warranty that the Services, as offered, comply with the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). Customers requiring secure storage of “protected health information” as defined under HIPAA are expressly prohibited from using the Services for such purposes. Storing and permitting access to “protected health information” is a material violation of this Agreement, and grounds for immediate account termination. We do not sign “Business Associate Agreements” and you agree that GeekStorage is not a Business Associate or subcontractor or agent of yours pursuant to HIPAA. If you have questions about the security of your data, you should contact [email protected].
Account Eligibility
1. By registering for or using the Services, you represent and warrant that:
  1. You are eighteen (18) years of age or older. The Services are intended solely for Users who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. Any registration, use of or access to the Services, by anyone under eighteen (18) is unauthorized and is a violation of this Agreement.

If you need to verify or change your contact information, please contact our sales team via e-mail or update your contact information through the GeekStorage Account Management System. Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of your account. As a part of our routine fraud screening procedures, you may be required to provide government issued identification and possibly a scan of the credit card used for verification purposes.

IP justification practices are subject to change to remain in compliance with the policies of the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN). We reserve the right to deny any dedicated IP request based on insufficient justification or current IP utilization.
Account Transfer from Previous Provider
1. Our support team will make every effort to help you move your website to us. Account transfers are provided as a courtesy service. We do not make any guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete an account transfer. Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to migrate some or all account data. In some cases we may not be able to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host. The free transfer service is available for fourteen (14) days from your sign up date. Account transfers outside of the fourteen (14) day period will incur a charge; please contact a member of our support department to receive a price quote. In no event shall GeekStorage be held liable for any lost or missing data or files resulting from a transfer to or from GeekStorage. You are solely responsible for backing up your data in all circumstances.

If you are located in a Sanctioned Country or are listed as an SDN, you are prohibited from registering or signing up with, subscribing to, or using the Services.

If you fail to pay the fees as specified herein, GeekStorage may suspend or terminate your account and pursue the collection costs incurred by GeekStorage, including without limitation, any arbitration and legal fees, collection agency fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. GeekStorage will not activate new orders or activate new packages for customers who have an outstanding balance on their account.

Except as otherwise provided for in Section 18.1 of this Agreement, no refund will be issued for any pre-paid fees.

No refunds will be given once a domain is renewed. All domain registrations and renewals are final.
6. Foreign Currencies
  Exchange rate fluctuations for international payments are constant and unavoidable. All refunds are processed in U.S. dollars and will reflect the exchange rate in effect on the date of the refund. All refunds are subject to this fluctuation and GeekStorage is not responsible for any change in exchange rates between the time of payment and the time of refund.

Reseller Terms and Client Responsibility
1. Resellers shall ensure that each of their clients complies with this Agreement.
2. Resellers are responsible for supporting their clients. GeekStorage does not provide support to clients of GeekStorage’s resellers. All support requests must be made by the reseller on its client’s behalf for security purposes.
3. Resellers are also responsible for all content stored or transmitted under their reseller account and the actions of their clients. GeekStorage will hold any reseller responsible for any of their client’s actions that violate the law or this Agreement.
4. GeekStorage is not responsible for the acts or omissions of our resellers. The reseller hereby agrees to indemnify GeekStorage from and against any and all claims made by any User arising from the reseller’s acts or omissions.
5. GeekStorage reserves the right to revise our Reseller Program at any time. Changes shall take effect when posted online or on any subsequent date as may be set forth by GeekStorage.
6. Resellers in the GeekStorage Reseller Program assume all responsibility for billing and technical support for each of the Users signed up by the reseller.
Reselling Restriction on Shared Hosting (non-reseller accounts)
1. Shared hosting accounts, without the WebHostManager (WHM) add-on activated on the account, may not be used to resell web hosting to others. If you wish to resell hosting you must use a reseller account, VPS, dedicated server, or purchase the WHM add-on for your shared hosting account.
Price Change
1. GeekStorage reserves the right to change prices, the monthly payment amount, or any other charges at any time. We will provide you with at least thirty (30) days notice before charging you with any price change. It is your sole responsibility to periodically review billing information provided by GeekStorage through the user billing tool or through other methods of communication, including notices sent or posted by GeekStorage.
Coupons
1. Discounts and coupon codes are reserved for first-time accounts or first-time customers only and may not be used towards the purchase of a domain registration unless otherwise specified. If you have previously signed up using a particular domain, you may not sign up again for that domain using another coupon at a later date. Any account found in violation of these policies will be reviewed by our Sales department and the appropriate charges will be added to the account. Coupon abuse will not be tolerated and may result in the suspension or termination of your account. By default, all coupons and discounts are only valid towards the initial purchase and do not affect the renewal or recurring price unless expressly provided for otherwise in the promotional offer.
Arbitration
1. By using the Services, you hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in connection with any dispute relating to, concerning or arising out of this Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator chosen by GeekStorage and will be held at the AAA location chosen by GeekStorage in Oklahoma. Payment of all filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this paragraph. In the event you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, GeekStorage will pay as much of your filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. The arbitration before the AAA shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. The Federal Arbitration Act, and not any state arbitration law, governs all arbitration under this paragraph. All decisions rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding on all parties. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve and make written awards is limited to claims between you and GeekStorage alone. Claims may not be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. If you initiate litigation or any other proceeding against GeekStorage in violation of this paragraph, you agree to pay GeekStorage’s reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with our enforcement of this paragraph.

Independent Contractor
1. GeekStorage and User are independent contractors and nothing contained in this Agreement places GeekStorage and User in the relationship of principal and agent, partners or joint venturers. Neither party has, expressly or by implication, or may represent itself as having, any authority to make contracts or enter into any agreements in the name of the other party, or to obligate or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.

No express waiver of, or assent to, any breach of or default in any term or condition of this Agreement by any party hereto shall constitute a waiver of, or an assent to, any succeeding breach of or default in the same or any other term or condition hereof.
Assignment; Successors
1. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of GeekStorage.

Force Majeure
1. Neither party is liable for any default or delay in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than failure to make payments when due) if such default or delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by forces beyond such party’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, fire, flood, acts of God, labor disputes, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, interruptions of transportation or communications, supply shortages or the failure of any third party to perform any commitment relative to the production or delivery of any equipment or material required for such party to perform its obligations hereunder.
