9.1. You can choose to upgrade or downgrade the Hosting Services at any time.

9.2. All available Upgrade options are listed in your User Area and are subject to the fees set out on the respective Product Pages (Upgrade Fee). Upon upgrade to a Shared Hosting Service, the Upgrade Fee covers the difference in fees between the two plans. Upon upgrade to a Cloud or Dedicated Hosting Service you will have to select a new Term and any pre-paid amounts remaining from your previous Service will be prorated and applied as an extension to your new Term.

9.3. You can choose to downgrade your Service(s) only if:

•   your Service was not previously upgraded from that plan because it had exceeded the parameters of that plan; and
•  your Content does not require Server setup different from the standard Server setup. Different Server setup includes, but is not limited to, space size, installation of special PHP or Perl modules, open special ports, different MySQL versions, and/or SSH access.

9.5. You can request a downgrade through our HelpDesk. We may refuse to process your request if your account does not meet the conditions for a downgrade or if in our reasonable opinion the new plan is not suitable for your website. Any additional or free Services that are not included in or are not compatible with the new plan will be terminated. Upon downgrade we will prorate the difference in Fees between the two plans for any full months remaining from your Term, and will apply that as extra time to your new plan. If no full months remain, your Service will keep its current Term.

10. CUSTOMER ACCOUNT

10.1. If you are a new customer, upon purchase of our Services we will create a Customer Account for you. Your Customer Account contains your personal details and grants you access to our User Area where you can access, review, update and manage your Services, payments and contact information.

10.2. If you purchase Services on behalf of another person or entity, you warrant that you will administer their Customer Account in good faith and in their best interest, and will indemnify us against all losses and liabilities sustained by us should you administer the Account in ways that are adverse to the End User and result in any claim against us.

10.3. Login to the User Area requires the use of username and password. You agree not to use the account, profile, username, or password of another user at any time.

For security purposes, TIC Digital Marketing highly recommends that you keep different passwords for different Customer Accounts and service providers, refrain from using any functionality that saves or stores your login credentials and regularly update your password.

10.4. As an additional security measure, you may set up two-factor authentication (2FA) for your User Area. Follow the instructions in your User Area in order to enable/disable 2FA. If you choose to install and use a 2FA application on a device (e.g. phone or tablet) on which the operating system has been tampered with in any way, you do so at your own risk.

10.5. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your Account, regardless of whether the activities are undertaken by you, your employees or a third party, and for keeping your Account password secure. You shall notify TIC Digital Marketing immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Account to the following email address: privacy@TIC Digital Marketing.com.

10.6. You are responsible for providing and maintaining true, current, complete and accurate information. If you fail to do so, we accept no liability in the event that we grants access to the account to another person.

10.7. For avoidance of doubt, the individual or entity whose personal data is listed in the ‘My Details’ section of the User Area is considered by us to be the owner of the account (Account Owner).

If you purchase a domain name on behalf of a third party, and a dispute arises regarding your administration of that domain name, you agree to pay all registration fees during the time the dispute is pending.
