Legal Agreements

Terms Of Service

Effective Date: 24 November 2025

Welcome to Host2Media! These Terms of Service (TOS) govern your access to and use of Host2Media's services. By using our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use immediately

1- Introduction

This agreement outlines the terms and conditions for using the services provided by Host2Media, including but not limited to web hosting, domain registration, and email hosting. These terms are legally binding and designed to protect both the company and the clients.

1A- Automatic Acceptance Through Use

By accessing, using, purchasing, renewing, or interacting with any Host2Media service, system, website, control panel, email service, DNS service, support channel, or hosted infrastructure, the Client irrevocably agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions in full, without exception.

Use of the services constitutes full legal acceptance of all clauses contained in these Terms, regardless of whether the Client has read them, reviewed them, understood them, or formally acknowledged them.

  • The Client’s continued use of the services is deemed ongoing acceptance
  • No signature or explicit consent is required for enforceability
  • All updates take immediate effect upon publication on the Host2Media website
  • Failure to discontinue service use constitutes automatic acceptance
  • All employees, developers, consultants, or third parties acting on behalf of the Client are bound by these Terms

Any claim of “not reading,” “not seeing,” “not knowing,” or “not accepting” these Terms is expressly invalid. Use equals acceptance. Continued use equals continued acceptance. This rule applies universally and without limitation.

1B- Continued Payment Equals Acceptance

Any payment, renewal, subscription continuation, invoice settlement, or authorization of automatic billing constitutes irrevocable acceptance of these Terms and all future amendments.

The act of paying for Host2Media services—whether manually, automatically, partially, or on behalf of a third party—legally affirms the Client’s full acceptance of all Terms, regardless of any expressed disagreement or objection.

  • Payments made by employees, partners, developers, or agents bind the Client
  • Payments processed through auto-renewal bind the Client
  • Any renewal—intentional or unintentional—constitutes acceptance of all Terms

1C- Third-Party Delegation Acceptance

Any access, usage, login, configuration, payment, or interaction with Host2Media services performed by a third party acting on behalf of the Client constitutes full and binding acceptance of these Terms by the Client.

  • Developers, designers, IT staff, freelancers, and agencies
  • Employees, partners, interns, or subcontractors
  • Automated systems or scripts initiated by the Client

The Client is fully liable for all actions performed by any delegated individual or entity, with no exceptions. Host2Media bears no responsibility for unauthorized delegation, misconfiguration, negligence, or misuse.

1D- Retroactive Acceptance

These Terms apply retroactively to all past usage, services, interactions, and data hosted since the Client’s first use of any Host2Media service.

Continued use after any update constitutes immediate and retroactive acceptance of both the current version and all previous versions of these Terms, without limitation.

  • Past invoices, past hosting periods, and past activity are fully covered
  • No Client may claim older Terms apply unless explicitly stated in writing
  • Retroactive enforcement applies to all legal disputes and violations

1E- Non-Readability Does Not Void Terms

Failure to read, access, review, or understand these Terms does not exempt the Client from legal obligations or enforcement.

Claims such as "I did not read the Terms," "I did not see the Terms," "I do not agree," or "I was not aware" are expressly invalid and carry no legal weight.

These Terms remain fully enforceable regardless of the Client’s level of knowledge, comprehension, or awareness.

1F- No Opt-Out Possible

The Client cannot opt out, partially accept, selectively accept, or reject any portion of these Terms. Acceptance is universal, indivisible, and mandatory for all service usage.

  • No clause may be refused, excluded, or modified by the Client
  • Continued use automatically reaffirms full acceptance
  • Disagreement must be resolved solely by terminating service

Any attempt to alter, negotiate, override, or partially reject these Terms is invalid. The only alternative to full acceptance is the cessation of use.

1G- Client Responsibility for Account Security & Unauthorized Access

The Client is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality, security, and access control of all account credentials, including but not limited to: cPanel, email accounts, FTP access, SSH keys, billing accounts, API keys, and authentication methods.

  • All activity performed through the Client’s credentials is presumed authorized
  • Host2Media bears no liability for unauthorized access resulting from weak passwords, credential sharing, malware, phishing, employee actions, or negligence
  • Password resets, logins, file uploads, and configuration changes are binding on the Client

Any compromise or unauthorized access is the sole responsibility of the Client. Host2Media is not required to investigate, remedy, or compensate for incidents arising from the Client’s failure to secure their account.

1H- Binding Nature of Digital Records, Logs, and IP Evidence

Host2Media’s digital system logs—including access logs, IP logs, authentication logs, timestamps, file modifications, resource usage logs, support logs, and automated system events—constitute final, authoritative, and binding evidence in all disputes.

  • Logs shall be used to establish responsibility, authorization, and activity
  • All logs are presumed accurate unless proven otherwise by a qualified digital forensics expert
  • The Client bears all costs of any forensic challenge or investigation

The Client agrees that Host2Media’s logs take precedence over all external claims, screenshots, verbal statements, or internal client records.

1I- Presumption of Client Authorization for All Actions

All actions performed on any Host2Media service—whether through client login, API interaction, email request, support communication, automated process, or third-party access—are conclusively presumed to be authorized by the Client.

  • Requests made from the Client’s registered email address are binding
  • Actions performed from known devices, IPs, or prior access patterns are binding
  • Actions by developers, employees, or contractors are binding on the Client

Host2Media is not required to verify the identity, intention, or authority of any individual using the Client’s credentials or contacting support from the Client’s registered communication channels.

The Client bears all consequences arising from any action performed on their account, whether intentional, accidental, unauthorized, or disputed.

Client responsibility under this section extends to all third-party services as defined in Section 70A.

80- EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance

For clients subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Data Processing Responsibilities:

  • Host2Media acts as a Data Processor for personal data hosted on our infrastructure
  • Client remains the Data Controller and is responsible for lawful basis for processing
  • We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure security

International Data Transfers:

  • By using our services, EU clients acknowledge that data may be transferred to and processed in Lebanon
  • Clients are responsible for ensuring such transfers comply with GDPR Chapter V requirements
  • We will cooperate with clients to implement supplementary measures where required

Data Subject Rights:

  • We will reasonably assist clients in fulfilling data subject access requests
  • Clients must forward relevant data subject requests to us promptly
  • We will implement data deletion requests upon client instruction

Security Breach Notification:

  • We will notify affected clients of personal data breaches without undue delay
  • Clients are responsible for notifying supervisory authorities and data subjects

Sub-processors:

  • We may engage sub-processors for specific services
  • Current sub-processors are listed in our Data Processing Agreement
  • We remain liable for sub-processor compliance

Host2Media shall bear no liability for any GDPR fines, penalties, enforcement actions, data subject claims, or regulatory investigations arising from the Client's failure to comply with GDPR obligations. The Client assumes full legal and financial responsibility for all GDPR-related compliance requirements.

Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted as submitting Host2Media to the jurisdiction of any EU court, supervisory authority, or regulatory body. All disputes remain exclusively under Lebanese law and Lebanese courts.

A valid Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is mandatory for all EU clients. In the absence of an executed DPA, Host2Media's only obligation is to provide best-effort technical measures; all regulatory compliance remains the sole responsibility of the Client.

Host2Media shall not be held responsible for international data transfer compliance under GDPR Chapter V. The Client is exclusively responsible for ensuring such transfers are lawful.

EU clients should contact us to execute a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) that supplements these Terms for GDPR compliance.

Note: For comprehensive GDPR compliance, EU clients should review our Data Processing Agreement and ensure their use of our services aligns with GDPR requirements for international data transfers.

Technical Safeguards Provided:

  • Data encryption at rest and in transit
  • Access controls and authentication mechanisms
  • Security incident monitoring and response procedures
  • Data backup and recovery capabilities

These measures are provided on a best-effort basis only and do not constitute legally binding security guarantees, performance warranties, or compliance commitments under GDPR, Lebanese law, or any other regulatory framework. Host2Media bears no liability for breach, compromise, or failure of any security measure listed above.

These technical measures represent our standard security posture and are not GDPR-specific guarantees. Clients must conduct their own compliance assessment.

81- Service Tier Clarifications

To ensure absolute clarity, all services are categorized into tiers with explicit guarantees:

Enterprise Tier (Optional Upgrade):

  • Formal SLA with financial credits
  • Priority support with guaranteed response times
  • Advanced monitoring and proactive maintenance
  • Custom security configurations

Standard Tier (Default):

  • Best-effort service targets (no formal SLA)
  • Standard support during business hours
  • General security measures
  • As-described in base pricing

All references to "services" in these Terms refer to Standard Tier unless a separate Enterprise Agreement is explicitly executed and paid for.

No SLA, priority handling, or enhanced guarantees apply unless a separate Enterprise Agreement is formally executed, signed by both parties, and fully paid in advance. Any verbal or implied expectation of elevated service is expressly rejected.

82- Client Success Responsibility

The Client acknowledges and agrees that:

  • Host2Media provides infrastructure, not business outcomes
  • Website performance, SEO ranking, and business results depend on multiple factors beyond hosting quality
  • The Client is responsible for their own technical competence, marketing strategies, and business operations
  • Host2Media's role is limited to providing reliable hosting infrastructure

No hosting service can guarantee business success, customer acquisition, or specific performance metrics. The Client assumes full responsibility for their use of the services and the outcomes achieved.

Host2Media disclaims all responsibility for SEO results, search engine visibility, conversion rates, revenue performance, customer acquisition, marketing outcomes, or any commercial success or failure arising from the Client’s use of the hosted website or services.

83- Technology Evolution & Sunset Policy

Host2Media operates in a rapidly evolving technological landscape:

  • We may deprecate older technologies, PHP versions, or software stacks with 6 months notice
  • Clients are responsible for maintaining application compatibility with current standards
  • Legacy technology support may require migration to updated environments
  • Sunset schedules will be communicated via account email and dashboard notifications

Failure to migrate from deprecated technologies may result in service interruption. Host2Media bears no liability for business impact during necessary technology transitions.

Host2Media may immediately deprecate or disable technologies without notice where required for security, stability, compliance, or datacenter directives. The Client bears sole responsibility for updating their applications and frameworks to maintain compatibility. Host2Media shall not be liable for any disruption, downtime, or data loss resulting from technology evolution.

84- Economic Sustainability & Pricing

To ensure long-term service sustainability:

  • All pricing is subject to annual review and potential adjustment
  • Existing clients receive 30-day notice of price changes
  • Infrastructure costs, currency fluctuations, and regulatory changes may necessitate pricing updates
  • Grandfathered pricing may be offered but is not guaranteed

Continued use of services after price change notifications constitutes acceptance of new pricing. No historical pricing is guaranteed in perpetuity.

Price adjustments do not entitle the Client to refunds, penalties, credits, or early termination exemptions. Currency fluctuations, supplier increases, licensing adjustments, or economic conditions may trigger immediate changes. Client acknowledges that historical pricing has no contractual permanence.
