Basic Terms

We DO NOT require a set term for your care plan. You can cancel any time that you like, we’re so confident you’re going to be happy, we’ll even pack your files up for you if you want to move elsewhere 🙂
If you are hosting with us you MUST maintain one of our care plans. You cannot discontinue your care plan but continue hosting.
If the site exceeds bandwidth or storage limitations we will work with you on upgrading your hosting to the appropriate package. We can’t say it enough – most of our customers work very hard with us to create this problem – so it’s a great problem to have. We’ll never throttle your traffic like a normal host does – we’ll just work with you on a solution.
Billing is done 1 time per month based on the start date of your hosting and care plan.
We require you to be on an auto-payment through our billing provider, this is at no cost to you.
If you are more…there will be a 3% late fee surcharge incurred every 7 days thereafter.
Cancellations require 30 days’ written notice. At which time we can provide a backup of your website to take any place that you like.
If you do not pay within 30 days, and you have not responded to any attempts to contact you, we reserve the right to shut off your site until payment is remitted.
We require you to comply with our content rules. While we do not govern your website content, we also do NOT allow the hosting of pornographic, racist, sexist, or violent materials.

We do not allow the hosting of pornographic, racist, or sexist content. If you are planning on operating a site that utilizes those items, even in a comedic sense, we have the right to review and terminate your hosting immediately. Please use your talents to do good in the world, and not to tear down or destroy others.

What is a Tune-Up?

A Tune-up is a process of maintaining your WordPress website. All great cars require oil changes and brake jobs to keep them running, a Tune-up is just that for your website. We go under the hood to make sure everything is working properly, and if something is wrong, we let you know before it ends up broken or leaving your stranded.

What do we do?

Run a manual backup of your website.
Create a backup of your website’s files and database.
Install the latest version of WordPress for security updates.
Update any 3rd party plugins to their current versions.
Update all stock and custom WordPress Themes.
Check your custom theme for any conflicts.
Perform miscellaneous code checks on WordPress Core, Plugins, and all Themes.
Scan for and clean up any malware found in our diagnostics.
Test your site’s front-end to see that nothing has been negatively affected by upgrades.
Provide you with a report of the work completed.

What is NOT included in a Tune-Up?

General website updates like changing fonts, adding menu items, blog posts, or anything to alter or add to your existing website content.
Fixing issues caused in the update. If there is an issue identified in the update we will notify you before proceeding with a fix to provide you with an estimate at a reduced hourly rate of $150/hr with a 1 hr minimum.
Additions of New Plugins to the website or exchange of plugins. Those are only covered if you have a care plan that includes service hours.
Communication of any kind with your hosting provider, domain name registration company, or email provider. We will work on your behalf with their support at our standard reduced hourly rate of $150/hr with a 1hr minimum.
We will not address issues with Google Analytics or Google Search console under the Tune-Up plan. Fixing or connecting any of those services is separate and not part of this agreement.
Broken Links, Security Vulnerabilities, and Malware monitoring are part of our process. The resolution of issues found (unless otherwise specified) will be billed separately. These are estimated for you upon finding for us to solve but are NOT covered expressly in the cost of your monthly maintenance.

Legal Items

We have dedicated hosting resources with Kinsta as a preferred partner. The following are their terms and conditions. If you are NOT hosting with us you can disregard it. Thank you!

Updates to the Terms. We reserve the right to make changes to these Terms at any time in our sole discretion. If we make changes to these Terms, we will provide notice of such changes by revising the date at the top of these Terms. Your continued use of our Services following notification of changes will constitute your acceptance of such changes. Please periodically review these Terms and check for any updates.

14. Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES WITH KINSTA AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.
We want to address your concerns without resorting to a formal legal case. Before filing a formal legal claim against Kinsta, please contact us at [email protected]. We’ll try to resolve the dispute and address your concerns. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or Kinsta may bring a formal proceeding as set forth in this Section 14.
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms, or the breach thereof, shall be exclusively settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof; provided, however, that you and Kinsta are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable or injunctive relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, patents, or other confidential information or intellectual property.
You and Kinsta agree that arbitration will occur exclusively in metropolitan Boston, Massachusetts (i.e., the city of Boston or its surrounding suburbs or cities), and that arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator.
If for any reason this agreement to arbitrate does not apply to the dispute, you and Kinsta agree that any judicial proceeding, including any appeal of an arbitration award, will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Suffolk County, State of Massachusetts. Both you and Kinsta exclusively consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in Suffolk County, State of Massachusetts, and we both agree to waive our right to a jury trial. If a judicial proceeding is brought in the state courts of Massachusetts under this section 14.5, the parties consent and agree to the transfer of such proceeding to the Business Litigation Session of the Superior Court for Suffolk County.
The Terms and the resolution of any disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts, USA without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS HEARD IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO COMMENCE A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

15. CCPA Certification

This Section 15 applies only to the extent that (a) Kinsta receives and processes End User personal information for or on behalf of the Client and (b) the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) applies to such End User personal Information.
Kinsta certifies, understands, and agrees as follows:
1. Kinsta is a service provider with respect to End User personal information.
2. Kinsta shall not sell End User personal information.
3. Kinsta shall not retain, use, or disclose End User personal information for any purpose other than the specific purpose of performing the Services under these Terms, or as otherwise permitted under the CCPA.
Any undefined terms in this Section 15 shall have the meanings set forth in the CCPA.

16. Miscellaneous

Our Privacy Policy, Service Level Agreement, and Data Processing Addendum (all located at https://kinsta.com/legal/) are incorporated herein by reference and, together with these Terms, constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings between the parties regarding their collective subject matter.
You may not assign any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without prior written consent from Kinsta. Kinsta may assign any or all of its rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, without obtaining your consent or approval.
Our failure or delay in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any of these Terms shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other of these Terms, all of which shall remain in full force and effect.
