Password Security and Account Authorization

MNX.io provides customers flexibility over their own passwords, account access and authorization procedures. Customers are responsible for selecting the appropriate authentication procedures and selecting the proper information which will be used to authenticate the account. It is the responsibility of the customer to protect the information used to authenticate their account. Account access, password security and server security are the responsibility of the customer. MNX.io will not be liable for any damages, direct or indirect, that result from unauthorized account access, password compromise or hacking.

Technical Support

MNX.io support includes access to technical support provided via phone, email and livechat.

MNX.io’s technical support is strictly limited to the direct customer of MNX.io and not to in-direct client. For example, a client of the MNX.io Customer is not entitled to Support from MNX.io and should at no time be given Account Access, Passwords, or Passphrases for MNX.io’s Support. It is the obligation of the MNX.io customer to ensure compliance with this policy.

MNX.io provides Bundled Bandwidth Packages for Internet Data Transfer
 When purchasing a Bundled Bandwidth Package your outgoing bandwidth transfer will be used to calculate your bandwidth usage. Incoming data transfer will not be counted towards your bundled bandwidth usage. If your actual data transfer usage exceeds the amount of your bandwidth package you will be charged a bandwidth overage fee in addition to your Bundled Bandwidth Charge. The bandwidth overage fee will be specified in your order. Currently the bandwidth overage fee is $0.10 per Gig

Incoming data transfer is currently free.

CDN (Content Delivery Network) Bandwidth and Overage Fees

When choosing to use our Content Delivery Network (CDN) to accelerate your website – as well as images/videos/etc on that website – you are responsible for all bandwidth costs associated with delivery of your content over the public internet. This responsibility includes bandwidth costs incurred due to piracy. MNX.io makes options readily available that can prevent overage charges caused by “hot-linking.” When using a CDN, all assets are assigned a CDN URL. There are individuals, or 3rd party sites, that target these asset URLs and serve them without the site owner’s permission. We strongly recommend that you take steps to protect yourself, your content, and your invoice from hot-linking. Due to a range of customer preferences, MNX.io does not enable hot-linking protection measures by default. It is recommended that you take measures to protect yourself such as:

1) Constantly monitor bandwidth utilization and verify alerts containing information on abnormal CDN bandwidth usage
2) Implement proactive measures to make accessing your site’s source code more difficult

Server Support
 Basic support and maintenance of servers is provided at the discretion of MNX Solutions. In the case of erroneous instances or support issues extending beyond what we determine to be within the realm of reasonable assistance, support is priced as follows:

  • $100/hour

Scheduled Maintenance and Downtime
MNX.io will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Subscriber acknowledges that from time to time the services may be inaccessible or inoperable for various reasons, including periodic maintenance procedures or upgrades (“Scheduled Downtime”); or service malfunctions, and causes beyond MNX.io’s control or which are not reasonably foreseeable by MNX.io, including the interruption or failure of telecommunications or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks, or network congestion or other failures. MNX.io will provide at least 48 hours advance notice to the subscriber for Scheduled Downtimes, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any other disruption, inaccessibility and/or inoperability of its web servers. MNX.io has no responsibility for downtime resulting from a user’s actions. Also, the 100% network uptime guarantee does not apply for shared accounts.

Refunds
We will provide refunds on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion. The refund amount is limited to $250.

Any violation of MNX Solutions’ Terms of Service Agreement shall result in no refund.

Account Setup, Termination, and Billing:
The account will be charged monthly based on actual usage. Billing dates are recurring on the day the account was opened.

For any month there is usage, a minimum charge of US $1.00 will be applied. For example, if you have $0.01 of billable usage, it will be rounded up to $1.00.

Credit Card Charge Backs
A credit card charge back fee of $50 will be charged to any customer’s account for any charge back received by their financial institution. The original charge amount and penalty fee must be paid immediately in order to guarantee that services will remain online and available. If a customer or anyone paying on the customer’s behalf has used a credit card to pay for services ending in 2 or more chargebacks, will result in credit card payment privileges being revoked (full payment will be due via money order or wire transfer). This fee will be waived and credit card payment privileges reinstated if the chargeback resulted in error, provided that supporting documentation is submitted. If a credit card was used to pay for more than one customer account resulting in multiple chargebacks, each account will be assessed the $50 fee. Chargebacks received are reversed from the customer’s account, leaving the balance due and payable immediately. Outstanding balances are subject to the unpaid fees and delinquent accounts policy and may result in server suspension or account termination. If the account is terminated all information within the account will be deleted.

EVENT OF DEFAULT BY CUSTOMER

(Disabling of accounts due to overdue payment). If the CUSTOMER fails to pay an invoice within 14 days of the date of that invoice, MNX.io reserves the right to disconnect service without further warning. If services are disconnected for non payment, customer must pay all past due charges up to the day of service disconnection in order to reconnect service. If your account has been disabled for non payment, you may be charged a reconnection fee of up to $50 in order to re-enable your account.
