Terms Of Use

1. Introduction

1.1. Our Purpose

Amongst the many creative and marketing services we offer, we also provide website hosting and management services to our Users that are meant to simplify the process of launching and maintaining a professional website. To satisfy a variety of budgets and ongoing website needs, we offer multiple hosting packages. While not all of our packages include on-demand website content updates, our Users have the option to request we make website updates for them for an additional price to their monthly/yearly subscription. Alternately, our Users can take advantage of our free and easy-to-use site builder tools to update their sites themselves. Any website that we host and maintain, including the websites we develop for our Users under a separate agreement, and any website developed by a third-party, transferred from another website hosting company to the Starry Eyes Media network, are collectively referred to herein as (“User Platform(s)”).

1.2. Legal Agreement

These Starryeyes.media Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”), together with such additional terms which specifically apply to some of our services and features as presented on the Starryeyes.media website(s) (“Starry Eyes Media Website”, and collectively – the “Starry Eyes Media Terms”), all set forth the entire terms and conditions applicable to each visitor or user (“User” or “you”) of the Starry Eyes Media Website or any other services, applications, and features offered by us with respect thereto, except where we explicitly state otherwise (all services offered through the Starry Eyes Media Website, collectively referred to as  – the “Starry Eyes Media Services” or “Services”).

The Starry Eyes Media Terms constitute a binding and enforceable legal contract between Starry Eyes Media, LLC. and its affiliated companies and subsidiaries worldwide (“Starry Eyes Media”, “us,” or “we”) and you in relation to the use of any Starry Eyes Media Services – so please read them carefully.

You may visit and/or use the Starry Eyes Media Services only if you fully agree to the Starry Eyes Media Terms – and by using and/or registering to any of the Starry Eyes Media Services, you signify and affirm your informed consent to these Terms of Use and any other Starry Eyes Media Terms applicable to your use of any Starry Eyes Media Services. If you do not read, fully understand, and agree to the Starry Eyes Media Terms, you must immediately leave the Starry Eyes Media Website and avoid or discontinue all use of the Starry Eyes Media Services.

​By using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read our Privacy Policy available at https://starryeyes.media/about/privacy (“Privacy Policy”).

1.3. User Account

To begin accessing and using special features associated with Starry Eyes Media Services, you must first register and create an account with Starry Eyes Media (“User Account”). It is your sole responsibility to protect your account from access by anyone other than yourself. If anyone other than yourself accesses your User Account and/or any of your User Platforms’ settings, they may perform any actions available to you (unless as specifically stated otherwise on the Starry Eyes Media Services), make changes to your User Platform(s), and User Account, and accept any legal terms available therein, make various representations and warranties and more – and all such activities will be deemed to have occurred on your behalf and in your name.

We strongly encourage you to keep the log-in credentials of your User Account confidential, and allow such access only to people you trust – as you will be solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your User Account and/or User Platforms (including for any representations, warranties, and undertakings made therein), whether or not specifically authorized by you, and for any damages, expenses, or losses that may result from such activities.

The information that you provide when registering your User Account, to which you are the sole and exclusive rights holder, and using Starry Eyes Media Services must be accurate and complete. We strongly encourage you to provide your own (or your company’s) contact and billing details, including your valid email address, as we may use it to identify and determine the actual and true owner of the User Account and/or User Content (as defined below) submitted to us. 

Starry Eyes Media reserves the right to determine ownership to a User Account based on our reasonable judgment, whether or not an independent investigation has been conducted by us, in the event a dispute arises on User Account ownership. In these cases of User Account ownership disputes, we also reserve the right to avoid making a determination and/or suspending a User Account until the parties disputing such ownership reach a resolution, without liability to you or to any other party. To assist us in making determinations of ownership, we may request documentation (e.g. government-issued ID, a business license). Additionally, in determining the owner of a User Account, User Platform, and/or User Content created and/or uploaded to the relevant Starry Eyes Media Service, we may consider other factors as set forth below.

  1. The person or entity who has access to the email address listed, at the moment of dispute or otherwise, in Starry Eyes Media’s records for such User Account under which such User Platform or User Content was created.
  2. The billing details, including the name listed on the form of payment and billing address, used to purchase Paid Services (“Billing Information”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, when applicable if a User Platform was connected to an external domain name (either imported or purchased as part of certain Paid Services, as defined below), and such domain’s registration information is publicly available via the WHOIS database provided on the www.whois.net website or on Starry Eyes Media’s database, Starry Eyes Media will consider the owner of such User Platform as the person or entity registered as the registrant of such domain thereunder. In the event that an individual and an organization are both registered as the registrant or the registrant organization of such domain, Starry Eyes Media will consider the organization as the actual owner of the domain, and therefore as the owner of the User Platform connected to such domain. In the event the Billing Information indicates one person as the owner of the User Platform and the domain registration indicates a different owner, Starry Eyes Media shall consider the person registered as the owner of the domain connected to the Starry Eyes Media Account as the owner of the User Platform.
  3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Starry Eyes Media shall have the right to determine the ownership of User Content and/or a User Website as it chooses, including by ignoring the indications set forth above, in the event Starry Eyes Media deems, at its sole discretion, that the situation justifies such determination, all based upon the factual situation as determined by Starry Eyes Media.

We encourage you to read our Privacy Policy by visiting https://Starryeyes.media/about/privacy and each such Third-Party Services’ relevant policies on a regular basis, for a description of such data collection and use practices.

5. Service Fees

5.1. Paid Services

The use of certain Starry Eyes Media Services may be subject to payment of particular fees, as determined by Starry Eyes Media in its sole discretion (“Paid Services” and “Fee(s)”, respectively). Starry Eyes Media will provide notice of such Fees then in effect in relation to such Paid Services. If you wish to receive or use such Paid Services, payment will be due in advance, and as such, you are required to pay all applicable Fees before Paid Services are rendered.

Starry Eyes Media reserves the right to change its Fees at any time, upon notice to you if such change may affect your existing subscriptions. For promotional purposes, Starry Eyes Media reserves the right to offer discounted services. If you receive a discount or other promotional offer, Starry Eyes Media shall have the right to automatically and without notice renew your subscription to such Starry Eyes Media Service(s) at the full applicable Fee.

All Fees associated with Starry Eyes Media’s Paid Services are presented in U.S. currency, and as such deemed to be in U.S. Dollars. To the extent permitted by law (and unless specified otherwise by Starry Eyes Media in writing), all Fees are exclusive of all taxes (including value-added tax, sales tax, goods, and services tax, etc.), levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities (“Taxes”), and you shall be responsible for payment of all applicable Taxes relating to your use of the Starry Eyes Media Services, or to any payments or purchases made by you. If Starry Eyes Media is obligated to collect or pay Taxes for the Fees payable by you, and whether or not such Taxes were added and collected from you for previous transactions, such Taxes may be added to the payment of any outstanding Fees and will be reflected in the Invoice for such transaction. We recommend that you verify the existence of any additional fees you may be charged by third-parties in connection with the purchase of Paid Services or in connection with the renewal thereof (such as international transaction fees, currency exchange fees, or fees due to banks or credit card companies). Starry Eyes Media is not responsible for any such additional fees or costs.

As part of registering or submitting information to receive Paid Services, you also authorize Starry Eyes Media (either directly or through its affiliates, subsidiaries, or other third-parties) to request and collect payment and service fees (or otherwise charge, refund, or take any other billing actions) from our payment provider or your designated banking account, and to make any inquiries Starry Eyes Media or its affiliates may consider necessary to validate your designated payment account or financial information, in order to ensure prompt payment, including for the purpose of receiving updated payment details from your payment, credit card, or banking account provider (e.g., updated expiry date or card number as may be provided to us by your credit card company).

Unless specified under a separate agreement, you must keep a credit card stored with Starry Eyes Media to pay for your Paid Services (“Stored Card”). In your Account Settings Page, you will be able to identify your Stored Card by its last four digits.

5.2. Invoices

Starry Eyes Media and/or its affiliated companies will issue an invoice or credit memo for any payment of Fees or refund made to or by Starry Eyes Media (“Invoice”). Each Invoice will be issued in electronic form and based on the country stated in your billing address and will be made available to you via your User Account and/or by email. For the purpose of issuing the Invoice, you may be required to provide certain Personal Information, including but limited to your billing information, name, date of birth, and address, in order to comply with local laws. Please note that the Invoice presented in your User Account may be inadequate with your local law requirements, and in such case may be used for pro forma purposes only. 

5.3. Subscription Auto-Renewals

In order to ensure that you do not experience any interruption or loss of services, certain Paid Services include an automatic renewal option by default, according to which such Paid Services will automatically renew upon the end of the applicable subscription period, for a renewal period equal in time to the original subscription period (excluding extended periods) and, unless otherwise notified to you, at the same price (subject to applicable Taxes changes and excluding any discount or other promotional offer provided for the first period) (“Renewing Paid Services”). For example, if the original subscription period for a Service is one month, each of its renewal periods (where applicable) will be for one month. Accordingly, where applicable, Starry Eyes Media will attempt to automatically charge you the applicable Fees using the Stored Card, within up to two (2) weeks before such renewal period commences. In the event of failure to collect the Fees owed by you, we may in our sole discretion (but shall not be obligated to) retry to collect at a later time, and/or suspend or cancel your User Account, without further notice. If your Renewing Paid Service is subject to a yearly or multiple-year subscription period, Starry Eyes Media will endeavor to provide you notice prior to the renewal of such Paid Service at least thirty (30) days in advance of the renewal date but is not required to do so.

​By entering into this Agreement and by purchasing a Renewing Paid Service, you acknowledge and agree that the Renewing Paid Service shall automatically renew in accordance with the above terms. 

Certain domains are subject to a different renewal policy as detailed in the Domains Registration Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you are solely responsible for verifying and ensuring the successful renewal of the Starry Eyes Media Services you use (whether or not such Starry Eyes Media Services are subject to automatic subscription renewals). Accordingly, you shall be solely responsible with respect to any discontinuation of any Starry Eyes Media Services previously purchased by you, including due to a cancellation, failure to charge the applicable recurring Fees, or due to any Starry Eyes Media Services not being subject to automatic subscription renewals. Regardless of the reason, you acknowledge and agree that you shall not have any claims against Starry Eyes Media in relation to the discontinuation of any Starry Eyes Media Services or Third-Party Services.

5.4. Money-Back Guarantee

If you are not satisfied with Starry Eyes Media Services that are subject to a Fee for a period of service or subscription commitment and which is your initial purchase of such service, you may provide notice of cancellation for any reason within fourteen (14) days of having first ordered or activated such Starry Eyes Media Services (the “Refund” and “Refund Period”). The Refund is applicable only to the initial purchase of Starry Eyes Media services. The Refund is not applicable to any additional purchases, upgrades, modifications, or renewals of Starry Eyes Media Services. If you reside in a jurisdiction that requires a longer Refund Period, Starry Eyes Media will accommodate such requirements in accordance with all applicable laws. If Starry Eyes Media receives such notice within such Refund Period, Starry Eyes Media will refund to you the amount Starry Eyes Media charged you for such Starry Eyes Media Services, in the currency you were originally charged in, and cancel them accordingly. Please note that the Refund amount may be different than the amount you were charged due to currency changes and third-party fees. Starry Eyes Media will not be responsible for any differences caused by the change of currency exchange rates or fees you were charged by third parties. After the Refund Period, the Fees paid by you are non-refundable and non-cancellable. In addition, if we find that a notice of cancellation has been given in bad faith or in an illegitimate attempt to avoid payment for services actually received and enjoyed, we reserve our right to still charge the User who provided such notice for any Starry Eyes Media Services actually received, as permitted by law.

Please note: Certain services purchased on or through the Starry Eyes Media Services may be non-refundable. These include Third-Party Services such as business tools, applications, and website domains. The terms of each purchased service or application are indicated on the Starry Eyes Media Website and/or as part of or during the process of purchasing such services or applications. It is your obligation to verify your ability to cancel a service prior to purchasing it. Starry Eyes Media will not refund any amounts paid for non-refundable Paid Services, applications, or Third-Party Services. 

5.5. Chargebacks

If, at any time, we record a decline, chargeback, or other rejection of a charge of any payable Fees on your Starry Eyes Media account (“Chargeback”), this will be considered as a breach of your payment obligations hereunder, and your use of the Starry Eyes Media Services may be automatically disabled or terminated. 

In the event a Chargeback is performed, your User Account may be blocked without the option to re-purchase or re-use it, and any data contained in such User Account, including any domains, applications, and Third-Party Services may be subject to cancellation and Capacity Loss (as defined in Section 6.3 below). 

Your use of the Starry Eyes Media Services will not resume until you re-subscribe for any such Starry Eyes Media Services, and pay any applicable Fees in full, including any fees and expenses incurred by Starry Eyes Media and/or any Third-Party Services for each Chargeback received (including Fees for Starry Eyes Media Services provided prior to the Chargeback, handling and processing charges, and fees incurred by the payment processor).

If you have any questions or concerns regarding a payment made to Starry Eyes Media, we encourage you to first contact our Customer Support team before filing a Chargeback or reversal of payment, in order to prevent the Starry Eyes Media Services from being canceled and your User Account being blocked, and to avoid the filing of an unwarranted or erroneous Chargeback, which may result in your being liable for its applicable Fees, in addition to re-payment of all the Fees applicable to the Starry Eyes Media Services purchased (and charged-back) by you.

We reserve our right to dispute any Chargeback received, including by providing the relevant credit card company or financial institution with any information and documentation proving that the User responsible for such Chargeback did in fact authorize the transaction and make use of the services rendered thereafter.

6. Cancellation

6.1. Cancellation by User

You may discontinue to use and request to cancel your User Account and/or any Starry Eyes Media Services at any time, in accordance with the instructions available on the Starry Eyes Media Services. The effective date and time for such cancellation shall be the date and time on which you have completed the cancellation process on the Starry Eyes Media Services, and the effective date for cancellation of Paid Services shall be at the end of such Paid Services’ subscription period.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, with respect to subscriptions to Renewing Paid Services, such subscription will be discontinued only upon the expiration of the respective period for which you have already made payment. Please note that as the cancellation process may take a few days, in order to avoid the next automatic renewal and respective charge the cancellation request should be made at least fourteen (14) days prior to the expiration of the then-current service period.

For more information about canceling your Paid Services, please visit Starry Eyes Media’s Support Center.

6.2. Cancellation by Starry Eyes Media

Failure to comply with any of the Starry Eyes Media Terms and/or to pay any due Fee shall entitle Starry Eyes Media to suspend (until full payment is made) or cancel your User Account and User Platform (or certain features thereof), as well as the provision of any related Starry Eyes Media Services (e.g., Paid Services) or Third-Party Services to you. 

6.3. Loss of Data, Content, and Capacity
