By using any services offered by Innovative Brand Lab, or merely browsing the Innovative Brand Lab web site, you agree to and are bound by the Terms of Use. Innovative Brand Lab reserves the right to change the Terms of Use and other guidelines or rules at its sole discretion, and will provide notice of material changes on the home page of the Innovative Brand Lab web site. Innovative Brand Lab reserves the right to discontinue service, or deny access to any person or persons who violates our policies or the terms and conditions set forth without warning or prior notice. In the even that an account is terminated due to a violation of any polices below, no refunds or fees will be made to said account.

 

Payment and Refund Policies

Setup fees are charged for all new accounts and major account changes; and any setup fees incurred are non-refundable. All recurring pricing is guaranteed for the term of prepayment. Innovative Brand Lab reserves the right to change prices at any time.

Customers have three payment cycle options:

Annual
Accounts set up on an annual billing cycle are sent invoices for services, by email, on the 25th of November for the upcoming year. Payments for recurring annual license fees are due by December 10th. Payments not received by the 10th of December are considered past due.

We do offer a grace period, due to the holidays, that the 30 day notice of suspension for website and email services does not occur until January 1. On January 1, all past due accounts are subject to a 30 day notice of suspension. This means that on January 1st, client access to our web admin panel will be suspended. At this time the client website is still accessible to the general public. On January 30th, Innovative Brand Lab reserves the right to suspend public access to the website. We are not required to send any notice other than the original invoice. It is the client’s responsibility to check the email they provide to us under “Account Settings” for the billing email. (Please see the section titled “Domain Management” for domain specific policies).

Quarterly
Accounts set up on a quarterly billing cycle are sent invoices for services, by email, on the 15th of each month prior to the quarter in which services are rendered. Billing months are December, March, June, and September. Payments for recurring quarterly license fees are due within 15 days of being invoiced. Payments not received by the 1st of the month following an invoice are considered past due.

Monthly
Accounts set up on a monthly billing cycle are sent invoices for services, by email, on the 15th of each month prior to the month in which services are rendered. Payments for recurring monthly license fees are due within 15 days of being invoiced. Payments not received by the 1st of the month following an invoice are considered past due.

 

Late Fees and Penalties

Any account that is past due will be sent a physical invoice and is subject to a late fee of $25.00. Accounts that have been suspended will also be subject to a $50.00 re-activation fee. Payments must be made in U.S. currency. Innovative Brand Lab will bill each customer a minimum $50.00 fee per returned check.

In the event a Client has a past due balance for more than 30 days, Innovative Brand Lab reserves the right to take ownership of Client domains as payment towards Client balance. This action may not satisfy the entire balance. A domain appraisal will be purchased by Innovative Brand Lab and the appraised amount will be deducted from the Client balance. In the event the appraised value exceeds the client balance, no refunds or credit will be given.

Should the client want to terminate services with Innovative Brand Lab, the client is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time that it was established to the time that the customer gives notice. 30 day notice does apply.

If a customer chooses to move services away from Innovative Brand Lab, rather than accept an update to our terms of service, they must still bring their account current, including penalties and fees, before files or domains under a domain management or lease agreement will be transferred (see “Domain Management” below for terms and fees).

If client wants to move files from the Innovative Brand Lab server to a new provider there will be a $150 transfer fee to transfer the files to another provider. Proprietary content and/or code developed by Innovative Brand Lab is non-transferrable.

 

Domain Management

The renewal date for domains is January 1 of each year, regardless of the expiration date found in the public whois database. At times we consolidate the expiration dates of domains using industry methods for management purposes.

In the event a client does not pay the annual renewal fee for their domain(s), the domain(s) will expire on January 10th at midnight. All domain and related services will expire. We cannot prevent this action from occurring. You will have a 19 day grace period before your domain enters what is called a Registry Redemption Period (http://help.godaddy.com/article/5018). During this time there will be an additional fee to recover the domain from the redemption period as well as reactivate services. If a domain is not recovered from this redemption period it will become available for sale to the general public.

Innovative Brand Lab reserves the right to purchase domains not renewed by January 31 out of redemption prior to public sale.

Domains owned by Client prior to entering into agreement with Innovative Brand Lab, but not renewed per the terms of the Innovative Brand Lab Domain Management Agreement become the property of Innovative Brand Lab.

 

Sale or Transfer of Domain

In the event a domain managed by Innovative Brand Lab expires and becomes the property of Innovative Brand Lab or if a client wants to purchase a non-client managed domain from Innovative Brand Lab, it will be subject to the terms of the “Domain Name Sale and Ownership Transfer Agreement”. The client has first right to purchase domain but is not guaranteed a sale of the domain.

 

Decline Domain Management

If client has declined domain management services, Innovative Brand Lab cannot guarantee services. This includes website, subdomains and email service as we do not control DNS records. No refunds or compensation for disrupted services will be given. Please check with your registrar for technical issues. A non-registrar management fee of $35 per domain will be assessed to the client account.

 

Cancellation

Innovative Brand Lab reserves the right to cancel service at any time at our discretion. Innovative Brand Lab will provide written notice 30 days in advance before discontinuation of services except in those instance where a violation of state or federal law has occurred or there has been a violation of our “Server Abuse” or “Unsolicited Email (UCE/UBE/SPAM)” policies. All fees paid in advance of cancellation are non-refundable in the event that Innovative Brand Lab institutes our right to cancellation.

Customers may cancel the service at any time by giving us 30 days notice in writing. You must pay the full balance of the account within 14 days of receiving the final invoice, which may include charges incurred or billed after the date of your cancellation notice and other termination and cancellation charges. We will not pay you a refund for any unused part of the service. All client files, both digital and physical, will no longer be retained by Innovative Brand Lab. Client must request files prior to final termination date.

Should a client wish to discontinue the use of Innovative Brand Lab services; customers may cancel the service at any time by giving us 30 days notice in writing. The client must pay the full balance of the account within 14 days of receiving the final invoice, which may include charges incurred or billed after the date of your cancellation notice and other termination and cancellation charges.

There is a $150 fee to create a client registrar account, move client domain(s) into client account, update the whois back to the client, remove private registration and unlock the domain. This is the only method by which we will transfer domains out of the Innovative Brand Lab account. There is a $150 fee per website to package client files and transfer to a new provider.
