cPanel Server Management - Just $79.95 Monthly

Small to mid-sized companies can benefit from outsourcing their Website maintenance in several ways:

• Add more operational overhead directed at core business competence by reducing IT costs and allowing your employees to focus on more important functions
• Keep your Website fresh and updated on a timely basis
• Scalability of the content management system for future growth
• Increase data security
• Introduction of technological innovation
• Improved search engine results
• Standards compliance
• Report generation and site monitoring
• Vulnerability scans
• Database optimization and repair

The above list is not intended to be totally comprehensive; there are other benefits to outsourcing and they relate to the site type. Portfolio sites and dynamic database driven sites will not have the same set of needs. On smaller sites maintenance can be a 2-3 hour a month task; on large sites it can be a full-time job.

The cost will vary depending on the size of the site, number of updates per month, type of updates and other considerations.

At the end of the day a strategic Website Maintenance Program can lower your TCO. You are not involved in managing employees, paying out benefits, accounting or purchasing expensive software.

How much does it costs?

Costs will vary with the type of site work needed and its duration - short term, monthly, annually. Our prices vary from $35 an hour to approximately $75 an hour. Please use our contact form or call us toll-free (North America) at 1-888-458-3530 and we cn discuss your requirements.

Worried about the security of your data or trade secrets?

Sites that house sensitive data of any type should be cautious about protecting that data. This type of data should really not be hosted in a publicly accessible directory of the server and should be encrypted with a minimum security level of AES-256.

For other situations such as making information available to our Website Maintenance Team proir to its release to the public, we are happy (and, in fact recommend it) to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Customer's Sole Remedy
Technomax' entire liability and customer's exclusive remedy shall be the refund of up to thirty (30) days of service.

Limitation of Liability
CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE CONSIDERATION WHICH TECHNOMAX IS CHARGING HEREUNDER DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CONSIDERATION FOR ASSUMPTION BY TECHNOMAX OF THE RISK OF CUSTOMER'S CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH CUSTOMER'S USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION. ACCORDINGLY, CUSTOMER AGREES THAT TECHNOMAX SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY LOSS-OF-PROFIT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE SERVICE OR DOCUMENTATION. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of Technomax to any person, firm or corporation whatsoever arising out of or in the connection with any license, use or other employment of any service delivered to customer hereunder, whether such liability arises from any claim based on breach or repudiation of contract, warranty, tort or otherwise, shall in no case exceed the actual price paid to Technomax by customer for thirty (30) days of service whose license, use, or other employment gives rise to the liability. The essential purpose of this provision is to limit the potential liability of Technomax arising out of this agreement. The parties acknowledge that the limitations set forth in this agreement are integral to the amount of consideration levied in connection with the license of the services and documentation and any services rendered hereunder and that, were Technomax to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein, such consideration would of necessity be set substantially higher.

Satisfaction Guarantee:

If you are not completely satisfied with our services within first 30 days of using our service from the date of your signup, you will be given a full refund of the amount paid.

Only one (1) refund per customer or affiliate thereof will be honored. The money back guarantee only applies to work performed on one (1) server IP address. (For example, if you signup with 2 or more server IP addresses, and request a refund within the first 30 days, only the amount paid for the 1st server IP will be refunded).

All unpaid debts and dispute fees may be sent to credit collection agencies.

Refunds:
Refunds of any kind for any reason may take up to 30 days from the time the refund is requested or offered for processing.

Disclaimer
Technomax will not be responsible for any damages your business may suffer. Technomax makes no warranties of any kind, expressed or implied for services we provide. Technomax disclaims any warranty or merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This includes loss of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries, wrong delivery, and any and all service interruptions caused by Technomax and its representatives, contractors or employees. Technomax reserves the right to amend or update these policies without notice. Failure to follow any terms and conditions may result in account deactivation.

Technomax furthermore expects that its customers who provide Internet services to others will fully comply with all applicable laws concerning the privacy of online communications. A customer's failure to comply with those laws will violate this policy. Finally, Technomax wishes to emphasize that in accepting services, customers indemnify Technomax for the violation of any law or Technomax policy, that results in loss to Technomax or the bringing of any claim against Technomax. This means that if Technomax is sued because of activities of the customer that violate any law, or this policy, the customer will pay any damages awarded against Technomax plus costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.

Although we try to maintain a very high level of service and service availability, the services provided by Technomax are not designed for mission critical use, and should not be used for such purposes. Our services should only be used for fault-tolerant purposes which allow for failure.

THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED. IN NO EVENT SHALL TECHNOMAX OR ITS EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, CONTRACTORS, OR ASSOCIATES, BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THESE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

Refusal of Service
Technomax reserves the right at its sole discretion to refuse or cancel service. Violation of any of Technomax's Rules and Regulations could result in a warning, suspension, or possible account termination. Accounts may be terminated for any or no reason at all without any prior notice to the customer. Accounts terminated due to policy violations will not be refunded.

Customer Abuse
We have zero tolerance for abusive language and/or abusive behavior towards our company and/or service we provide and/or our employees. Any customer deemed at our sole discretion to be abusive to our company and/or service we provide and/or our employees will result in immediate irrevocable account termination without any refund. Threats to sue, slander, libel, etc., are all considered forms of abuse and will result in immediate irrevocable account termination without any refund.

Response Time and Resolution Time
For support tickets, we offer and guarantee an initial response within 3-6 hours, and subsequent responses and resolutions within 24 hours, per ticket. However, our average response time is within .5 hour, and our average resolution time is within 3 hours. Tickets are reviewed in the order they are received, and answered consecutively. Response and resolution time count starts from the moment the ticket is opened in our Client Login area. When a new ticket is opened while another ticket is already opened and unresolved, the Response and Resolution time count for the new ticket starts from the moment that the previous ticket was resolved. Our Response and Resolution time guarantees apply to the first 1 ticket per day, or the first 15 tickets per month, or the first 30 replies per month, whichever comes first, and additional tickets are not covered under our Response and Resolution time guarantees. A "response" means that a technician has read the ticket, assigned it to the most appropriate technician to handle your specific problem, and responded stating that the ticket resolution process has started. A "resolution" means that a technician has resolved the problem in the ticket. (You will see some tickets responded to and resolved within minutes, and others within hours. Nevertheless, we only offer and guarantee that an initial response will be received within 6 hours, and subsequent responses and resolutions will be received within 24 hours. Therefore, for example, whether you receive a response in 1 minute, and a resolution in 23 hours, it is still within our offered and guaranteed response and resolutions times.) In certain instances, if you report a problem that is erratic or requires more time than our response/resolution time to debug, we will inform you of this within our response/resolution time.

For Restoration and Migration requests, the Response and Resolution time guarantee covers our work only, and not the actual time of the data transferring since we have no control over how long it will take your server to transfer data. We will start the restoration or migration request within our Response and Resolution time guarantee. The time it takes for the restoration or migration request to be completed is beyond our control and solely dependant upon the amount of data that has to be copied, number of accounts, network connection speed between servers, server's speed, etc. (If you have a lot of accounts or data to be transferred, even though we will start it within our guaranteed response and resolution time, it can still take several days for your server to complete the data transfer).

Sales, billing, or any other non-support related issue is not covered under our Response and Resolution time guarantee.

Support can only be provided on a linux (redhat, fedora, centos) operating system and with cPanel, and must be accessible via ssh.

We do not provide any instructions on how to do technical work yourself or how any technical work was done, including but not limited to a list of steps, copy of the commands used, ssh session transcript, graphic/text screenshots, history recording, etc.

We do not make any backups of your data. Backup software is enabled upon request only and backups are stored at the location provided by the customer. We do not store or save any of the data that is backed up. Upon request, the backup software will be enabled to run automatically by itself on the server. We do not manually make the backups. Please note, the backup utility is known to stop without notice at times, therefore it is absolutely necessary and extremely important that you check the backup files on a frequent and regular basis to make sure that the backups are up to date and have not stopped being created.

Fair Use Policy: We are proud to offer unlimited admin time at one low monthly price, and we ask our customers to be considerate of others. If we feel any one is abusing this, at our sole discretion, we reserve the right to limit the amount of concurrent open tickets. We reserve the right at our sole discretion to terminate any account whose amount of admin time consumption negatively effects other users.

Service is provided monthly per server ip address. Server ip address can only be changed on the billing cycle renewal date, and not within the month where support for the current server ip address has already been provided (ie, we can not work on 2 different servers within the same month for the price of 1).

Waiver
Customer agrees that the waiver of any breach, or the failure to enforce these terms and conditions, at any time, shall not in any way affect, limit, or waive the right of Technomax to thereafter to enforce and compel strict compliance by the other party regarding any of these terms and conditions.

Severance

If any one or more sections of these terms and conditions should ever be determined to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by reason of any law, statute, regulation, or public policy, then, to the extent and within the jurisdiction in which the section is illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, the section shall be limited or severed and deleted from these terms and conditions, and the remaining sections of these terms and conditions shall survive, remain in full force and effect and continue to be binding, and shall not be affected except as may be necessary to make sense of these terms and conditions, and shall be interpreted to give effect to these terms and conditions to retain validity of these terms and conditions.

Non-Payment

Payment for services must be received no later than 3 days after the first day of the renewal cycle. (For example, if your renewal date is on the 1st of each month, payment must be received no later than the 4th of each month.) If payment is not received within this timeframe, services may be suspended. If payment is not received within 7 days after the first day of the renewal cycle, services may be terminated.

Public feedback
We have a zero tolerance policy for posting negative feedback on any public location about our company and/or our employees before submitting a ticket to our Feedback department. We have the utmost respect for all of our clients, and are more than fair with all of our clients. We will do anything and everything possible to keep all of our clients satisfied. But in the unlikely event you are not satisfied, all that we ask is to discuss your issue with our Feedback department first.

Additional Services
Any and all products, services, licenses, etc., purchased from us are bound by these Terms of Service in it's entirety. Additional terms specific to additional services listed below:

R1 Soft Backup
R1 Soft Backup is not included with any service by default. R1 Soft can be purchased upon request. R1 Soft provides remote disk space for your server to send backups to. R1 Soft is not intended and not permitted to be used as a primary backup source. Your server is responsible for generating the backups and uploading the backups to our R1 Soft Backup Service. Therefore, any problems with the backups, including but not limited to missing backups, corrupt backup files, incomplete backups, etc., are the sole fault of your server. All backup utilities are known to stop without notice sometimes, therefore it is absolutely necessary and extremely important that you check, test, and verify each and every backup file on a frequent and regular basis to make sure that the backups are up to date and complete. If you require any assistance with this, you must contact us each and every time you require assistance.
