As consideration for Planned Growth’s completion of the Services pursuant to an Agreement, Customer shall pay Planned Growth the required compensation in each Agreement as set forth herein:

Customer agrees to pay for all quoted products or other one-time fees in advance if applicable. For website creation and custom application development projects, Customer agrees to pay 50% of the total cost upon contract execution and the final 50% after the website and/or custom application goes live.  Planned Growth reserves the right to not give the admin password to the customer website and/or application until the final 50% or additional fee’s are collected from the Customer.

Financing options are available for larger sum projects upon request from Customer.

Planned Growth reserves the right to charge Customer the final 50% for website and/or custom application creation after 12 months of the signed agreement even if the site is not completed.

Customer agrees to pay for the first month of quoted monthly subscriptions for the Services in advance. Planned Growth shall bill Customer for the quoted monthly subscriptions each month in advance, and reserves the right to withhold the Services if payment is not received prior to the month the Services will be used.

In any given month, should Planned Growth use the allotted hours purchased prior to the end of a calendar month as set forth in the Customer’s content management plan (the “Content Management Plan”) or monthly marketing plan pursuant to an Agreement, Planned Growth shall notify Customer of this event and act on one of the following pre-selected options:

  • Cease provision of the Services until the next calendar month

  • Continue providing the Services at current agreed upon overage rates

    IF NO SELECTION IS MADE ABOVE, PLANNED GROWTH WILL, BY DEFAULT, CEASE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES UNTIL THE NEXT CALENDAR MONTH.

All payments shall be made and processed in U.S. dollars.  All payments are required in advance to any Services being rendered. In the event that Planned Growth arranges for financing or progress payments, these payments are required in advance as per the terms of each Agreement.

All Services are billed in advance with the exception of ‘metered’ services (e.g. quantities of bulk mail sent, overages for packages, etc.). In these instances, Planned Growth shall bill in arrears for metered usage.

Customer is not entitled to refunds for partial months of service, or un-used service.

All stated prices are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and Customer shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, etc. To the extent that Planned Growth is required to collect, remit, or pass through taxes, the applicable amounts shall be added to Customer order and presented during billing.

Customer agrees that in the event Planned Growth is unable to collect the fees owed to Planned Growth for any Services under any Agreement, Planned Growth may take any steps it deems necessary to collect such fees. Customer shall be responsible for all reasonable collections costs and expenses incurred by Planned Growth in connection with such collection activity, including collection fees, court costs, and attorneys’ fees. Customer further agrees that Planned Growth may collect interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the highest amount permitted by law on any amounts not paid when due.

A.  Termination of Planned Growth Monthly Services

Either party may terminate monthly services by providing 30 days’ advance written notice.

Customer agrees that, if any Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the Term for any reason relating to Customer actions or inactions, Customer continues to be liable for all financial obligations arising from any Agreement or these Terms including, but not limited to, remaining commitments, progress payments or financing repayment.

Such termination of the Service will result in the deactivation or deletion of Customer’s account or access to Customer’s account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all content in Customer’s account. In such event, Planned Growth shall not refund to you any fees paid in advance of such termination, and you shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such termination.

This money-back guarantee only applies to fees paid for hosting services and does not apply to administrative fees, install fees for custom software, or other setup fees, or to any fees for any other additional services.

6. Cancellations and Refunds

 A. Payment Method

No refunds will be provided if you use any of the following methods of payment: bank wire transfers, Western Union payments, checks, or money orders. If you use any of these payment methods, any applicable credit will be posted to your hosting account instead of a refund.

B. Money-Back Guarantee

If Services are purchased and then cancelled within the Money-Back Guarantee Period, you will, upon your written request to the Planned Growth Support Team  at [email protected] (the “Refund Request”) within ninety (90) days of such termination or cancellation (the “Notice Period”), receive the Money-Back Guarantee Refund; provided that such Money-Back Guarantee Refund shall be due to you only upon your compliance with, and subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of, Section 5 and this Section 6. Each Refund Request must be made in writing to the Planned Growth Support Team within 90 days of any termination or cancellation. Refunds will only be issued for managed shared or VPS hosting services and will not include administrative fees, install fees for custom software or other setup fees, nor will they include any fees for any other additional services. Money Back Guarantee Refunds will not accrue, and shall not be paid under any circumstances, if you do not provide the applicable Refund Request within the Notice Period.

C. Refund Eligibility

Only first-time accounts are eligible for a refund. For example, if you’ve had an account with us before, canceled, and signed up again, or if you have opened a second account with us, you will not be eligible for a refund. Violations of any Agreement or these Terms will waive your rights under the refund policy.

D. Non-refundable Products and Services

There are no refunds on dedicated servers, administrative fees, and install fees for custom software. Please note that domain refunds will only be considered if the domain was ordered in conjunction with a hosting package and will be issued at Planned Growth’s sole discretion.

You may terminate or cancel the Services by giving Planned Growth thirty days’ advance written notice via [email protected]. In such event: (i) you shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such cancellation and (ii) Planned Growth may, in our sole discretion, refund all pre-paid fees for basic hosting services for the full months remaining after the effectiveness of such cancellation (i.e. no partial month fees shall be refunded) less any setup fees, applicable taxes, and any discount applied for prepayment, provided that you are not in breach of any Agreement or these Terms.

Once we receive your cancellation request and have confirmed all necessary information with you, we will inform you in writing (typically email) that your account has been canceled. Planned Growth will confirm your request and process your cancellation shortly thereafter. If you do not hear back from us, please contact us immediately via phone at: 1-954-617-6000

If it is believed that a copyrighted work is being infringed on a Planned Growth website or Service, please notify Planned Growth’s designated agent, preferably by email at [email protected], or by mail at:

Planned Growth
ATTN: Legal
13798 NW 4th St #315
Sunrise, FL 33325

Contents of Notice: The DMCA requires that all notices of alleged copyright infringement must be in writing. When informing the designated agent of an alleged copyright infringement, the complainant must:

  1. Identify the copyrighted work that allegedly has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are involved, please provide a list of the works on that site.
  2. Describe the material that is claimed to be infringing and provide sufficient information to permit Planned Growth to locate that material.
  3. Provide your contact information, including an address, telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address.
  4. Certify or include a statement that the complainant has a good faith belief that the use of the copyright-protected material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner’s agent, or law.
  5. Certify that the information that you have provided Planned Growth is accurate. The complainant should attest under penalty of perjury that s/he is authorized to enforce the copyrights that have allegedly have been infringed.
  6. Include a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or person authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Before the complainants allege an infringement, s/he should consult copyright materials to confirm that the use is, in fact, infringing. The United States Copyright Office provides basic information, online, at https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ01.pdf, which can assist one in determining whether an exception or defense, such as fair use, may apply to the use of your copyrighted work.

However, if Planned Growth is notified of a claimed copyright infringement, or otherwise becomes aware of facts and circumstances from which infringement is apparent, Planned Growth will respond appropriately, which may include removing or disabling access to the material that is claimed to be infringing. Planned Growth will follow the procedures outlined in the DMCA with regard to appropriate notifications of the user and the complaining party, acceptance of counter notifications, and, where indicated, “putback” of the alleged infringing material. Refer to the United States Copyright Office for the provisions of the DMCA at http://www.loc.gov/copyright/legislation/dmca.pdf.

This provision shall survive the termination of any Agreement for the period stated herein.

If such a violation occurs and Planned Growth seeks legal remedy resulting in an injunction or judgment in favor of Planned Growth, the Customer shall be responsible for reimbursing Planned Growth for all attorneys’ fees and reasonable legal expenses incurred.

In addition to any and all other rights available according to law, if Customer defaults by failing to substantially perform any provision, term, or condition of any Agreement or these Terms (including, without limitation, the failure to make a monetary payment when due), Planned Growth may elect to terminate any Agreement if the default is not cured within the allotted time period. Customer agrees that if Planned Growth terminates any Agreement due to Customer’s breach, Customer continues to be liable for all financial obligations arising from the Agreement including, but not limited to, remaining commitments, progress payments, or financing repayment. Customer agrees to pay for (a) interest on all late payments for money owed under all agreements pursuant to Section 3, (b) reasonable costs for collection, and (c) reasonable costs for attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation that the Planned Growth may incur in collecting any unpaid amount.

17. Severability

If any provision of the Agreement or these Terms shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable.
