Gateway or bank fees are the customer's unless we state otherwise. Unconfirmed payments do not activate services. We may change prices with [30] days' notice without affecting a period already paid for.
## 6. Renewal and expiry
Services renew when you pay the invoice. If payment is late we may suspend the service after a grace period of [3 to 7] days and delete data [45] days after expiry, after notice. Expired domains may carry a redemption fee and are subject to the registrar's policies.
## 7. Refunds
First-time hosting services may be refunded within [7] days of first payment on written request. There are no refunds for domains, third-party licences, gateway fees, completed migration services, or accounts suspended for breaching the AUP.
## 8. Domain names
Domain registration is subject to the laws and policies of the registrar and relevant authorities, including TCRA and tzNIC for .tz. You confirm that the registrant details are accurate and complete; inaccurate details may lead to suspension or deletion of the domain. We do not guarantee availability of any domain name. You are responsible for renewing before expiry.

We take regular backups to restore our systems; they do not replace your duty to keep your own copies. We do not guarantee recovery of data you deleted yourself. Your Content remains yours.
## 10. Availability and maintenance

## 12. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate services immediately if: you breach the AUP or the law; the service endangers servers or other customers; an authority so orders; or payment is overdue.
