We have tested SmartMediaPro with every major plugin to make sure that it will work seamlessly with an average wordpress installation. However, because there are billions of combinations of plugins and themes, we can not guarantee SmartMediaPro to work with every combination. We can only guarantee SmartMediaPro to work with a fresh default install of wordpress. We will work with will work with all users who experiance any problems to find the part of the site that is stopping SmartMediaPro from working.
Liability
We accept no responsibility for any damage or loss of earnings to your blog in any instance when using SmartMediaPro products. It is your responsibility to keep a regular backup of your database and/or relevant files so that if the worst does happen, you can use your backup to bring your blog back online.
Support & Customer Services
All support, customer services and billing enquiries should be made via the support section of our site. Our staff will always do their best to assist you where possible.
Site Access
If you experience a problem that can not be fixed by following our instructions, it may be required that we access your site to test, isolate and rectify / advise you of our findings. Failure to supply or allow access will result in us being unable to assist you.
Abuse, Threats and Blackmail
Any form of abuse, foul language, threats or blackmail will result in the suspension of your license, we will revoke your ability to use our support system and you will be banned from all of our websites. Offenders will not be offered or entitled to any refunds in part or full. All attempts to threaten or blackmail us will be reported directly to the relevant legal authorities.
Terms of Service / Terms & Condition Changes
Changes to our Terms of service and terms & conditions will be made without direct notification. It is your responsibility to ensure you check for changes in our terms of service and terms & conditions. All changes are posted on the Site News category of our blog.
Compatibility
We periodically test all of our wordpress products under a variety of environments. As there are literally billions of plugin/theme/environment combinations, we only guarantee our wordpress products to work with default plugins and default theme in a linux/unix, php4/php5 environment with default cpanel options and default apache. All other products are tested in default and common environments and are not guarenteed to work with every system and configuration. If you do encounter any problems, our support team will be happy to assist you where they can.
Paypal Disputes
Our ongoing work and support structure means that there should be no instances where a paypal dispute should be required.
-Not As Described
If you believe any of our products are incorrectly described, you should contact our Customer Services team. We work hard to ensure that all our descriptions are accurate.
-Product Not Received
If you have paid for your product, but you are unable to download it, you should contact our billing department. From time to time, paypal can take longer than usual to confirm your payment after you have made your purchase. In all cases, you should contact our support department so that they can investigate this issue.
-Unauthorised Payment
An “Unauthorised Payment” dispute should only ever be opened when someone other than the named account holder has used the paypal account in question to make a payment that you did not authorise. In the event of an “Unauthorised Payment” dispute being opened, we will fully support both the paypal account holder and paypal by providing statistical evidence of activity logged on our website by the person who made the payment. Paypal will then use these details including IP, screen resolution and many more statistics to check against your paypal account and confirm if the purchase was made using your connection and/or paypal account.
When opening an “Unauthorised Payment” dispute you will have to agree to paypal’s terms which include confirming that the information you have submitted is correct and factual, facing legal action if the information is found to be incorrect as this action can be viewed as attempted fraud.
When we receive dispute case details from paypal, we will freeze all associated accounts and prepare our full defence for the case. This process takes time, resources and money. If paypal decide that your claim is unjustified, we will take all necessary action to recover from you, the cost incurred when defending your unjustified claim, including legal costs, defence preparation and any other associated costs. We will suspend and/or terminate all accounts and products/services associated with the disputed account, offering no refunds in part or in full. If you bought a domain from us, we will terminate your domain and dispose of it however we see fit to cover the remaining costs incurred when defending the unjustified dispute that was made against us via your paypal account. While we will always try to be as fair as we can, we do not think that it is fair to pass the price of defending ourself against an unjustified “Unauthorised Payment” dispute onto our other clients who have not made unjustified claims against us.
Any disputes opened with paypal that do not provide accurate & valid reasons why it is being disputed will be instantly escalated to paypal.
Slander
Any users found to be making untrue claims about our staff, company, products, services or other areas of our business will be banned from our website and all privileges will be removed. We will pursue all slanderous comments to the full extent of the law. We would like to point out that we have no intention to restrict anyone’s freedom of speech, but we will protect our business name and image against misleading, untrue or otherwise slanderous comments.

It is your responsibility to provide us with an email address which is not @ the domain(s) you are signing up under. If there is ever an abuse issue or we need to contact you, the primary email address on file will be used for this purpose.

To request a credit, please contact sales@SmartMediaPro.com with justification. All requests must be made in writing via email. Uptime guarantees only apply to shared / reseller solutions.

Dedicated Servers

It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that there is a valid email address and current root password on file for their dedicated server on file to prevent downtime from forced password resets. SmartMediaPro reserves the right to audit servers as needed and to perform administrative actions at the request of our datacenter. Dedicated servers are NOT backed up by us and it is the responsibility of the client to maintain backups or have a solution for this. You may purchase an additional hard drive and maintain backups to it as the most simple solution. Please contact sales@SmartMediaPro.com if you wish to obtain a secondary hard drive.

Billing & Invoicing
Invoices are generated periodically for products and/or services with recurring billing. Your account will show the next due date for your product and/or service.
When an order is placed an an ititial invoice is created, you are given 3 days grace in which to pay the invoice before it becomes overdue.
Any new orders with overdue invoices will remain inactive until the payment has been received. No accounts, products or services will be activated without an initial payment, unless the product is free.
Invoices for recurring products and/or services will be generated 14 (FOURTEEN) days before the payment is due. This is done so that all clients have enough time to ensure that the payment is ready and the invoice can be paid on time. If paying using an active subscription, this will give the client time to ensure that sufficient funds are within their payment account prior to the due date.
If an invoice remains unpaid for more than 7 days, our system will automatically suspend your account, products and/or services. You will be sent a first overdue invoice reminder and will have a late fee of 10% added to your invoice. Your account and any relevant products and/or services will remain suspended until you bring your account back into good standing with no overdue invoices.
For clients with multiple unpaid invoices, we may charge a $25 reactivation fee if you do not pay your overdue invoices after 14 days notice. The reactivation fee will be donated by us to a charity of our choice.
Cancellations
Clients can submit cancellations at any time. If the client has only one product/service, then the clients account will be closed. If the client has more than one product/service, the product/service will be cancelled. If the product/service has a recurring payment, it will automatically be cancelled at the end of the current billing cycle.Refunds will not be issued for any cancelled producs and/or services. Before cancellations will be accepted, your account must not have any overdue invoices.
