While Digital Bitz has several measures in place to increase the availability and reliability of the data stored on its servers, you agree to maintain your own backup copies of all data stored on our servers and not to hold Digital Bitz liable for any errors or interruption of services, whether within or outside of Digital Bitz’s reasonable control.

Digital Bitz can suspend or terminate without prior notice any accounts that do not comply with these Terms and Services to maintain a safe and secure environment for our clients.
Digital Bitz will attempt to notify you in case of account suspensions or cancellations. In some circumstances, Digital Bitz may suspend an account without prior warning to avoid serious harm or service degradation.
You may cancel your account and prevent an automatic renewal by requesting a cancellation through the Client Area at least 10 days before your service’s expiry date. The cancellation request must include all the necessary details to allow a Digital Bitz agent to properly identify the account in question, including your full domain name and hosting account type.
Digital Bitz relies on specialized third-party backup software to manage the automatic backup process from your account or server onto the backup storage. Technical errors or problems can occasionally prevent the successful completion of a backup run. As such, you are strongly encouraged to regularly test the backup restoration process on your server and report any issues to Digital Bitz's support team.
Digital Bitz is committed to your privacy, and does not sell, trade, or give out your personal information unless required as part of your service contract or by law. For our complete privacy policy, please consult https://digitalbitz.ca/privacy-policy.
In a shared web hosting environment, several clients must share server resources. As such, it is important not to use your hosting account in any way that may negatively affect other Digital Bitz clients. Our Acceptable Use Policy (hereinafter “AUP”) describes what is and is not allowed on our servers and is available at https://digitalbitz.ca/acceptable-use.
Domain name registrations, renewals, and transfers must respect our Domain Names Policy, which you can find at https://digitalbitz.ca/domains-policy.
If purchased in conjunction with certain types of domain names, the Privacy Protection service (also referred to as ID Protect) is intended to shield the customer’s personal information from the public domain name information database, called the « WHOIS » database, by replacing the customer’s information with those of a confidentiality services provider. The Privacy Protection service cannot prevent information from being published by third parties, nor does it remove any public « WHOIS » information that other parties may have saved and published before purchasing and activating the protection. The Privacy Protection service is not available for all domain types.
The Privacy Protection service is non-refundable and is not covered by our money-back guarantee. The Client must always maintain accurate contact information in their private profile, as stipulated by ICANN's rules and regulations.
The use and installation of SSL Certificates offered by Digital Bitz are subject to the terms and conditions of their respective providers. Following an SSL purchase, a Digital Bitz technician will request a certificate on your behalf and attempt to complete its installation on your account.
Unless otherwise requested before the installation, an SSL certificate will be installed and will work exclusively on the domain name or subdomain that you requested during your order. SSL Certificates are non-transferable. The installation of an SSL certificate does not guarantee the use of encrypted HTTPS protocol throughout your website.
In most cases, Digital Bitz can help move your website from any other compatible web hosting provider (also called a website migration). However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and Digital Bitz can not guarantee the availability, accuracy, possibility, or time required to complete such a transfer. Each hosting company is different, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, making it difficult or impossible to migrate some or all account data. We will try our best, but in some cases, we may be unable to assist you in transferring data from an old host.
You can make a free site transfer service request within 30 days of a new web hosting order by opening a Support ticket from your Client Area, which includes all necessary information to allow us to connect to your other provider's account and retrieve all your data. Unless otherwise confirmed in writing, free website transfers are limited to a maximum of 10GB of data, 5 email accounts, and one database. It would be best if you discussed more complex migrations with our support team before being requested.
Site transfer requests placed after the initial 30-day period are subject to our standard Webmaster Help service rates.
Digital Bitz is not directly associated with any search engines and is not responsible for ranking your website in search results.
Digital Bitz is fully committed to your satisfaction and offers the following money-back guarantee. If you are not 100% satisfied with the web hosting service obtained within 30 days of your purchase, Digital Bitz will refund your hosting costs.
We endeavour to provide a 99.9% service uptime, excluding planned or emergency server maintenance or conditions beyond our reasonable control. All customers will be notified of planned maintenance as far as possible in advance through our status page and, should the maintenance last for longer than 30 minutes, via e-mail. In the event of a problem with your server, we shall ensure that a qualified engineer will be dealing with the problem. In the rare event that you cannot resolve your problem within 30 minutes, Digital Bitz will notify you. When notifying you, we will provide you with the details of the problem and an estimation of when we will resolve the issue.
Digital Bitz will generate renewal invoices automatically for all your active services at least 15 days before their expiration date. When we generate a new invoice, we'll send you an email with a copy of the invoice and make the invoice available in your Client Area.
Digital Bitz will attempt to charge the payment method on file 5 days before your invoice's due date unless otherwise requested. If you do not wish to renew a service, please submit a service cancellation request or update your domain's auto-renewal settings through the Client Area at least 10 days before your service’s renewal date to avoid being charged for its renewal.
By making any purchase by credit card or by adding a valid credit card to your Client Area, you authorize Digital Bitz to automatically attempt to charge this credit card for any upcoming or overdue invoices on your account until otherwise requested. You may manage and remove your credit card information on file from your Client Area at any time.
Digital Bitz can suspend expired services, and Digital Bitz may permanently delete left unpaid by their due date and at Digital Bitz's sole discretion. Reactivating suspended services may incur additional fees.
You must maintain an active email address on file with us at all times to receive important account information, including invoices and expiry notices. Services not paid on their due date risk being suspended and may be terminated permanently shortly after, at Digital Bitz’s sole discretion. Should you wish to reactivate your services after they have been suspended, a reactivation fee may apply.
Digital Bitz accepts payments by Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal (which includes American Express). Digital Bitz also accepts non-automated payments by Interac e-transfer.
All payments must be made in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise. The first payment is required before the activation of a service, and all following invoices must be paid in full before their due date. Any overdue invoice carrying an interest of 2%, compounded monthly (corresponding to a yearly interest rate of 26.86%). Chargebacks or bounced checks due to insufficient funds will incur additional fees of C$35.00, plus taxes.
All non-automated payments (Interac e-transfers) must be made for a minimum total amount of C$50.00. Any amount paid exceeding the invoiced amount will be added to your account in the form of an account credit to be used for future payments.
Account credit is not automatically applied to new or open invoices. To manually apply for your account credit on an existing unpaid invoice, please visit the invoice page in your Client Area.
Occasionally, special promotions may be offered when ordering new services or account upgrades. Unless stated otherwise, promotional prices apply only to the initial payment cycle. Services renew at their regular rates, as shown on your invoice or in your product or service details in your Client Area. Special pricing promotions cannot be applied to renewals unless stated otherwise. Digital Bitz reserves the right to cancel any promotional pricing for any user that attempts to circumvent its intended use or limitations at Digital Bitz's sole discretion.
You can request a refund within the context of Digital Bitz’s hosting money-back guarantee by sending a written request through the Digital Bitz Client Area.
Refunds are only available during your service's eligible refund period.
Refunds can only be issued using the same payment method for payments made by credit card or Paypal. Payments made by Interac Email Payments can only be refunded as credit on your Digital Bitz account.
Pre-paid funds cannot be refunded after the initial money-back guarantee period.
Digital Bitz will generally issue refunds within 7 days following the reception of your refund request. Still, some banks or credit card providers may incur additional delays before making those funds available to you again.
The following products and services are non-refundable: domain name registrations and renewals (including ID Protection services) and Webmaster Help. Setup and installation fees are non-refundable.
If a domain name or other service that is non-refundable were offered at a discounted rate with the purchase of a hosting product, Digital Bitz would withhold the original full value of said service from any refunded amount.
Digital Bitz will not issue refunds for the same type of product more than once per account.
Digital Bitz can refund billing errors for a maximum retroactive period of 3 months. In the unlikely event that a billing error comes to your attention, you are encouraged to contact Digital Bitz as quickly as possible to correct the error.
If you issue a chargeback or reversal of charges with your banking institution, you will be responsible for a $50.00 chargeback fee, plus the full amount of your original transaction, plus applicable taxes.
Digital Bitz may suspend all services on your account until the chargeback fee is settled in full.
