By purchasing services from Clifton Design, LLC, you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions:
Renewal
In order to ensure uninterrupted service to your website, the service contract will automatically renew unless canceled by the site owner. Clifton Design, LLC requests that cancellation requests be made via phone or email at least 2 weeks prior to the date of renewal. CliftonDesign.com will acknowledge the cancellation notice within 24 hours of receipt. Your satisfaction is important to us and Clifton Design, LLC will honor all requests promptly.

If you wish to retain your domain name, the cost of your domain name will be deducted from your refund.
Acceptable Use Policy
Clifton Design, LLC reserves the right to refuse service to any site at our sole discretion. Although we do not believe in censorship, Clifton Design, LLC does not allow the following types of sites:
- Websites containing explicit pornographic material
- Racist or hate-related websites
- "Warez" sites, including but not limited to any copyrighted software or music files
- Sites which provide methods for circumventing copy protection ("cracks", key codes, serial numbers, decoder chips, etc...) are also not permitted.
- Any content which is not legal in the United States
Unsolicited Email (spam) and Bulk Email
Clifton Design, LLC will not host websites which are advertised through unsolicited email, excessive newsgroup crossposting, or off-topic newsgroup posts. What is considered spam is determined at the sole discretion of Clifton Design, LLC. We will make every effort to work with our customers to insure that legitimate websites are not shut down due to what may be wrongly interpreted as unsolicited mail. Although we are first and foremost an advocate of our customers, sites in flagrant violation of this policy will be shutdown without a refund of any kind. In addition, to protect the quality of service for all of our customers, any bulk emailing that adversely affects the performance of our shared mail servers will be either discontinued or moved, pending customer approval, to one of our list server or dedicated server plans.
Bandwidth and Overages
Each hosting plan is allocated a specific amount of network and system resources which is clearly specified on the Clifton Design, LLC website. We realize that from time to time, customers may have unanticipated circumstances which cause their websites to use more bandwidth, disk space, or other resources than they have been allocated with their plan. In extreme cases, such overages may result in additional charges or the request to upgrade your service to a more suitable plan. Clifton Design, LLC will make every effort to contact you to prevent any unexpected charges or service interruptions. If the resources required by your website negatively impact other customers in our shared hosting environment, we may take steps, including possible temporary suspension of service, to restore normal server operations. Under all circumstances, suspension of service is an absolute last resort and we will make every effort to work with our customers to insure continuous and trouble-free service.
