Any such event will result in immediate suspension or permanent termination of that user’s service or services and the entire responsibility will fall on that customer.

In the case of shared / reseller hosting, any account suspended because of the due bill can be reactivated by paying within 28 days. In the case of other services excluding shared/reseller hosting, any suspended account can be reactivated by making a payment within a maximum of 7 days. If a customer does not pay within 7 days for those services then his account/service will be permanently terminated.
