What We Agree to Do, and What We Do Not

We will not accept responsibility for misuse of our services.

Zenovations is under no duty, and does not by this Terms of Service Agreement, undertake a duty to monitor or police our customers activities and disclaims any responsibility for any misuse of the Zenovations network.

We will notify you of changes to the service agreement, but we are not obligated to do so.

Zenovations reserves the right to amend or change this agreement at any time and without prior notice. However, under normal conditions, we will make a reasonable attempt to contact all current customers with active accounts, via email, before any changes take effect.

If you notice a Zenovations customer breaking any of the rules, please notify us.

We take server uptime very seriously, but we do not guarantee it

Zenovations does not warrant that its services are error-free or that they will operate without interruption nor does Zenovations make any warranty with respect to the quality, reliability, timeliness or security of its services. While Zenovations will try to provide 99.95% uptime monthly, and may, at our discretion, provide compensation for unexpected down-time, we do not guarantee our services will be available every second. Any network downtime, files corruption and everything that could result in damages to your website are not our responsibility.

We may cancel your account at any time

This is an at-will agreement. You may cancel your services at any time. We may also cancel your services at any time.

Zenovations can remove your account from our file system and back-up server without any warning (no email or any other notifications will be sent), if we suspect you have violated our service agreement, if your account is more than 30 days past due, or we cannot contact you for more than 30 days.

We will clarify and answer questions about this agreement

Inquiries regarding this service agreement are encouraged and will be answered promptly. Contact us here.
