Services

Description of Services

Lone Star Data Ranch provides the following Services:

  • Shared Web Hosting
  • VPS Servers
  • Web Design
  • WordPress Management

Each Service is subject to the features and limitations specified in the respective service plans. Our Services are not unlimited, and the limitations are clearly stated in each service plan.

User Responsibilities

Compliance with Laws

You agree to use our Services in compliance with all applicable United States laws. You are prohibited from using our Services to engage in, foster, or promote illegal, abusive, or irresponsible behavior, including but not limited to:

  • Hacking, spreading viruses, or any other harmful activities.
  • Interfering with the use of our Services by other customers.
  • Engaging in any activity that causes significant problems for other customers.

Use of our Services is also governed by our Acceptable Use Policy, which forms part of these Terms and provides additional detail regarding prohibited activities and enforcement.

We reserve the right to terminate your access to the Services at our discretion if you violate these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or any applicable law. While we generally provide warnings before termination, we reserve the right to terminate accounts without prior notice.

Billing and Payment

Free Trials

We may, at our sole discretion, offer free trials for our Services. We reserve the right to terminate any free trial at any time without notice.

Payment Terms

  • Hosting and VPS services are available on monthly or yearly billing cycles.
  • Domain registrations are billed on a yearly basis.
  • Refunds for Services are prorated based on the unused portion of the service term.

Billing questions or disputes should be directed to [email protected] so we can work to resolve any concerns as quickly as possible.

Refunds, Cancellations, and Setup Fees

  • Fees for Services already rendered are non-refundable.
  • Refunds, when applicable, apply only to the unused portion of prepaid Services and are calculated on a prorated basis.
  • Monthly services may be canceled at any time and cancellation will stop future billing.
  • Setup, onboarding, migration, and configuration fees are non-refundable once work has begun.
  • If a setup fee was discounted or waived as part of a promotional offer, annual plan, or multi-year agreement, the standard setup fee may be deducted from any prorated refund if service is terminated early.
  • Prepaid multi-year plans are offered at a discounted rate in exchange for a longer commitment. Early termination may result in adjusted refund amounts consistent with the terms above.
  • Refunds, credits, or billing adjustments beyond these terms may be issued at our sole discretion on a case-by-case basis.

Satisfaction Guarantee

Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee reflects our commitment to providing responsive support, quality service, and a positive customer experience. We genuinely want every customer to be satisfied with the service and support they receive. If you ever feel we missed the mark or could have done something better, please let us know so we can work to make it right.

This satisfaction guarantee relates to service quality and support experience. Refund eligibility, if applicable, is limited to the refund and cancellation terms outlined in this agreement and does not imply a full or retroactive refund for Services already rendered.

Account Management

Account Creation and Termination

You must maintain an active and paid account to use our Services. Accounts can be terminated by contacting us via email at [email protected] or through the billing platform. Upon termination, you are responsible for any outstanding fees.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate Services for non-payment, abuse, violations of these Terms, violations of the Acceptable Use Policy, or activities that negatively impact system stability, security, or other customers. Termination due to violations may result in immediate suspension without refund for the current billing period.

Service Availability and Maintenance

Uptime Guarantee

We guarantee 99.9% uptime for our Services on a best-effort basis. We are not responsible for uptime degraded by factors beyond our control. Refunds for downtime will be prorated and will not exceed the monthly charge.

Maintenance

We will make every effort to notify you of scheduled maintenance. However, in the event of significant security concerns, we may perform emergency maintenance without prior notice. All efforts will be made to minimize downtime due to maintenance-related outages.

Force Majeure

Lone Star Data Ranch shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of God, power outages, internet service provider failures, data center outages, government actions, labor disputes, or other unforeseen circumstances.

Customer Data and Backups

Customers are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of their websites, data, and content. While Lone Star Data Ranch may offer backup tools or services as part of certain plans, including offsite backups for management clients, such backups are provided as a convenience and are not guaranteed. Customers remain responsible for maintaining their own independent backups.

Upon account termination or cancellation, data associated with the account may be permanently deleted immediately or at any time thereafter without notice. Customers are responsible for retrieving their data prior to cancellation.

Service Expectations and Results

While we strive to provide high-quality hosting, management, and development services, we do not guarantee specific business outcomes, search rankings, traffic levels, performance gains, or revenue results. WordPress management, optimization, and design services are provided on a best-effort basis.

Chargebacks

Initiating a chargeback for Services that have already been provided may result in immediate suspension or termination of Services. We encourage customers to contact us directly to resolve any billing concerns before pursuing a chargeback.

Liability and Disclaimers

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lone Star Data Ranch shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, service interruptions, unauthorized access, third-party actions, or any inability to use the Services.

Disclaimer of Warranties

Our Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Use of the Services is at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

Intellectual Property

All content, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and icons are proprietary to Lone Star Data Ranch or its licensors. Unauthorized use may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Hays County, Texas, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Amendments

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on our Terms and Conditions page, and your continued use of the Services after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
