There will be endless discussion. If you don't want these things simply do not sign up with German provider anymore. That all you can do.
Or pay them $120 for your out.
Tell that to OP, not me.
I am very happy with German service providers. I have service for over three years now.
Dafuq response is that? He'd want a "latest cancellation date", obviously. Earliest only applies if under a fixed term contract. For monthly, there is no earliest, only latest.
Say you're renting a hotel room day to day. You go to front desk and say, "I'm checking out today". The answer is going to depend on the latest cancellation time, whether it be 8am or previous day 6pm. Either way, the "earliest time to cancel" only applies to fixed term agreements, where this wasn't.
Same if renting vs leasing an apartment or house.
No questions. Not every German provider do that shit with their clients. That abnormal practice for a loosers
Just know your rights.
My provider also has a 30 day cancellation notice period.
Not only rights.
Know your rights and responsibilities
Only losers spell losers as "loosers". FYI
Earliest cancellation date is the date when service ends if the notice of cancellation served today.
And this, obviously, depends on the notice period length as defined in TOS and agreed by the customer at the time of signing up for the service.
The latter part is pretty important because most people around here ignore it.
Sorry for my Indian Oxford English.
Kindly revert and do the needful next time.
These are small small things.
For those who do not know, this is one of most common “grammatically incorrect” sentence used in india.
Reason - in the native language, small word is repeated twice and most people literally translate words into English
Is this Clouvider? Cause they have that rule and its also the reason why I didin't buy a dedicated server from them. The price also matches for their services.
We just drink vodka too much and dancing naked under the moon. That all we was do for our spellcheck
imo, whoever it is, just give them a middle finger and ensure that paypal is not set to automatic.
The worst thing they can effectively do is to list you on fraudrecord against other hosts for "non-payment".
They can also sell the debt to collector agency but you can easily dispute that. At least in Finland, we have solid consumer protection laws.
A checkbox of ToS with fraudlent intention means nothing here, and you can just notify the agency that the bill is invalid and theyre forced to re-check it. Even after that theres million ways to counter such collection.
Under the mon
years ago you need to do cancellation via snail mail lol
They can put whatever they want into their TOS, doesnt mean its enforceable.
Someone could put 1 year cancelation date then right? And you are saying people should pay it?
Also with 30day cancelation, minimum lease is 2 months then? Or you have 1 day to test the server and decide (If you are lucky and month is 31 days)?
They have responsibility to the robbers.
I only know of 1 provider in the UK who has that, the purpose of it is to get another months pay from you nothing else. Especially in the server/hosting industry. It's different if its a managed service etc
Thats very common yes.
Thats why you ignore those providers and choose others.
Beware: If German providers do not change their bad practice Belarussian partisans will capture Berlin one more time.
Yeah, the biggest problem here is that 50% or more customers dont even read the provider TOS including OP, they just tick on accept and go further with the order. And because of this, all the problems starts here. It's easier giving my money in 1 minute to someone instead of reading in 2 minutes, and knowing to whom or for what conditions am i giving.
That kind of shit like 30-days minimium cancelation time needs to be bolded bright red into order page.
I agree, but in this or such cases customer are not in position to do anything about providers TOS, the only option is to agree with that or just move to other provider. But before that, you should read the TOS and agree or not whatever they are... As per bolded in header/order page a tos is really bad idea. At least never saw any provider doing that.
You are right. But, have you ever seen one year cancellation period? Don’t give absurd example to justify your point.
However, 31 days (or even 45/60 days) notice period is very much likely enforceable on month to month plan, especially if any promotion is offered (examples - no setup fee, discounted rate for first x months, extra monthly bandwidth etc).
The sane option is - not to agree to TOS if you are not comfortable with it.
I was about to sign up for a VPS plan, and I noticed this in TOS - cpu can burst to 100% for maximum of 10 minutes in any 12 hour window. I sent a message to the provider, and shared my reservation. The end result- I did not sign up for it.
disclaimer - not a legal advice. just sharing my opinion.
Well, at least what is allowed under fair usage, billing, and cancellation period should be read and understood well before accepting the TOS.
providers should list any out the ordinary cancellation policy clauses or AUP as part of the checkboxes to tick, especially if the service is usually considered "prepaid".
however it is quite standard for 30 days cancellation with dedi.
Thanks, I know.
OP is still lucky, he just has one month to pay. I have netcup telling me that I have to tell them I want to cancel when my contract is up in more than 6 months from now - like I'm going to remember to do that - bunch of incompetents - they pretty much are betting on me to miss that window so I have to pay another year - that's kind of criminal in my eyes.
You can cancel anytime.
The cancellation will be effective at the end current contract term.
