FryHost is not responsible for any damages or losses (including any data) as a result of suspension or termination for non-payment of your account. In addition, FryHost reserves the right to refuse to reactivate your Services until any and all outstanding invoices have been paid in full.

Duplicate Payments

A "duplicate payment" is identified as any payment made more than once by a customer for a service, either inadvertently or due to system errors, utilizing a credit/debit card or via PayPal. Common instances include active PayPal subscriptions combined with manual payment.

Automatic Credit

Upon detection of a duplicate payment, the excess amount is automatically allocated to the customer’s FryHost account as account credit, pending further action or notice.

Refund Options

  • Full Refund as Account Credit: You may receive a full credit on your FryHost account, usable for future services.
  • Partial Monetary Refund: Transaction fees may be retained by FryHost; the remaining balance will be refunded to your original payment method.

You must notify FryHost of any duplicate payment within 14 days from the payment date. After this period, only account credit will be issued.
