Our service department will make an effort to move your site/server to our hosting platform but the amount of time can vary immensely depending on how the site was previously configured. We always strive to make this a seamless process and try to avoid any interruption to existing sites/servers but in some cases we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from the old server. We are not responsible for data loss in transfers.

Defining: "you" - The customer "assets", "files" or "server" or whatever other term may be used - The service provided and add-ons and files provided along with it. By purchasing with Sparked Host LLC, “you” give us permission to host and have control over “your” files once they are active on our network. Upon suspension, where emails are sent with payment reminders; “you” risk the permanent loss of your files/add-ons. You purchase your service for a length of time, once that period is over; accessibility is lost. Where possible- “you” must ensure that “your” files are backed up in regular intervals off-site (i.e. on “your” local host). Sparked Host LLC takes no liability and provides no warranties that once a server is suspended, the files will be accessible by yourself or your third-parties (or sub-users). Charge backs- At no time shall any current client or former client chargeback for any reason, if you charge back your service will be suspended or terminated. Additionally if said client wishes to restart service they will be required to pay back the amount charged back. If you charge back, we will report your bad payment activity to the Major Credit Bureaus, it may hurt your credit score. Upon suspension, server files may too be deleted at the discretion of Sparked Host LLC’s executives. By allowing “your” server to be suspended and/or providing (or third-parties providing) Sparked Host LLC with the knowledge that “you” are in breach of our Terms of Service, “you” subsequently waiver “your” rights to access “your” files/assets and “your” “service”, “assets” or “server” will no longer be accessible. Once your service is suspended, your files are kept for up to 365 consecutive business days (or less, at discretion of Sparked Host LLC’s executives with a minimum of period 24 hours) or until the invoice on the Client Area is shown as cancelled, whichever is shortest. The accessibility, if challenged, will be forwarded onto our Billing and/or Abuse Department and will be provided with an outcome at the latest of 48 hours after challenged. - Cases of exemption: • Where you have informed Sparked Host LLC in a written notice that you would like a copy of your files when your service is suspended (though Sparked Host LLC may decide to subsequently cancel your request at any time), you may be provided with exemption or legal immunity to the above clause.

Acceptable usage: We have a Hard limit of 50 GB for Minecraft Hosting. We will email you with the details, and which files are too big and must be removed. If we do see a non-server related file it will be deleted without warning or refund. If a server is running 80-100% of CPU or RAM, Sparked Host LLC has the right to restart/stop it or suspend it, as it affects others on the node. If this issue continues and the server owner refuses to fix the issue staff reserve the right to intervene if needed, including but not limited to stopping, suspending, terminating or cancelling the server. Backup plugins are not allowed if they are backing up the entire server as it usually leads to violation of this policy.
