Client Responsibility:
The client is responsible for all activity originating from the account unless proven to be a victim of outside hacking or address forgery.
The client is responsible for securing their username/password.
Each client should have the necessary knowledge to create and maintain their web space. Although it is not the responsibility of Dynamic Vision Web Solution to provide this knowledge or support (outside matters specific to Dynamic Vision Web Solution's servers).
It is the clients' responsibility to maintain local copies of their website content. Dynamic Vision Web Solutions is not responsible for loss of website files, data, information, etc. *Although Dynamic Vision Web Solutions backs up the servers on a daily basis, we strongly recommend that you maintain an up to date backup on your own computer anytime that you update or change your website. The backups we make are system wide and are geared more toward recovering an entire server rather than a specific domain on that server. Although we utilize high quality software, nothing is ever guaranteed, therefore we can not guarantee the quality of a recovery, system wide or individual recoveries. So please remember to back up your site frequently.
If loss of data occurs due to an error of Dynamic Vision Web Solutions, Dynamic Vision Web Solutions will attempt to recover the data at no charge to the client. If data loss occurs due to negligence of client in securing their account or by an action of the client, Dynamic Vision Web Solutions will attempt to recover the data from the most recent archive for a $75.00 fee.
CGI Scripts Policies:
Each account comes with its own CGI-bin. You are free to use any CGI scripts you wish, however we reserve the right to disable any CGI script that effect normal server operation or service to other Dynamic Vision Web Solutions. For the protection of all our customers, we also reserve the right to discontinue service to those customers who continue to run scripts that effect normal server operation. No chat rooms or similar scripts allowed.
Payment Policies:
All accounts are set up on a prepay basis. All pricing is guaranteed for the term of prepayment. Dynamic Vision Web Solutions reserves the right to change prices at any time, unless other terms have been agreed upon.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and Money Orders. When paying by credit card, the card that you use to activate your account will be automatically charged each month, unless you have chosen to pay for multiple months.
Past due accounts are given a 5 day grace period, after which a $5.00 late fee will be applied to the account. Any account not brought current within five (5 days) is subject to suspension unless prior arrangements have been made. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time that the customer notifies Dynamic Vision Web Solutions in writing for a request for termination of services. You must use the cancellation form only. Reactivation of a suspended account incurs a reactivation fee of $20.00. If you are suspended more than twice, you will be required to pay biannually before your site is reinstated.
All past due accounts will be placed with collections and any additional fees will be the responsibility of the client and may be reported to the appropriate credit reporting agencies if left uncollected.
Chargebacks:
If you have a question about charges made to your account, please contact us immediately, 1-215-612-3286. If the charges were made in error, we will immediately credit your account or credit card account for the appropriate amount.
If you dispute the credit card charge that we charge for our services, we reserve the right to suspend your account as soon as we are informed of it. Undeserved chargebacks for services received are considered theft and it hurts businesses and raises prices for consumers.

Cancellation Policy:
Client Cancellation: Due to security concerns, ALL account cancellations MUST be done via our cancellation form www.dvwebhosting.net/cancellationform.htm and must be received at least five (5) business days prior to your billing date. Phone requests will not constitute acceptance of any cancellation.
Upon receipt of proper cancellation notification, Dynamic Vision Web Solutions will cancel said account within (3) business days unless other arrangements are made and all credit card charges or billing will cease immediately.
If the account has a balance due at the time of cancellation, this balance must be paid in full. Cancellation does not absolve the account holder of any outstanding financial obligations.
Dynamic Vision Web Solution's services are independent of account usage and domain name records, and are still in effect whether the account holder's domain is pointing to Dynamic Vision Web Solution's nameserver or to some other nameserver. If the account holder transfers a domain without properly notifying Dynamic Vision Web Solutions, they will continue to be charged/billed until the cancellation guidelines have been followed. In other words, until you have notified Dynamic Vision Web Solutions of your cancellation, we are still providing your account with our services and you will be billed for same.
