You understand that we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to enforce breaches of these Terms. Shells reserves the right to take any actions deemed necessary to enforce and protect its rights. If you find that your Platforms’ account or subscription has been suspended, you may send an inquiry to [email protected].

    Third-party Websites. The Platforms may contain links to websites controlled or operated by persons and companies other than Shells (“Linked Sites”). Linked Sites are not under the control of Shells, and Shells is not responsible for the contents of any Linked Site, including without limitation any link contained on a Linked Site, or any changes or updates to a Linked Site. Shells is not responsible if the Linked Site is not working correctly or for any viruses, malware, or other harms resulting from your use of a Linked Site. Shells is providing these links to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by Shells of the website or any association with its operators. You are responsible for viewing and abiding by the privacy policies and terms of use posted on the Linked Sites. You are solely responsible for any dealings with third parties who support Shells or are identified in the Platforms, including any delivery of and payment for goods and services.

    Fees; Chargebacks. You acknowledge that Shells reserves the right to create a subscription service through one or more third-party merchants. With each account, you may have only one active subscription at a time. Payments will be charged on the day you sign up for the Platforms and will cover use of the Platforms for the duration of one (1) month or one (1) year plan, depending on the service level plan (a summary of which can be found at https://www.shells.com/l/en-US/pricing. A subscription plan is an automatic payment recurring based on the service plan selected. All accounts are offered as is at the time of purchase. Future services offered by Shells or its partners may not be included with the cost of the subscription. You may cancel the subscription at any time; the account will remain active for the remainder of your billing cycle.

    Shells reserves the right to change the fees at any time at its discretion. You acknowledge and agree that Shells is not obligated to honor errors due to typos and is not responsible for misinformation provided on third party websites or affiliates. You also understand that any gift-card based transactions for service are not subject to any reductions in price, discounts, promotional rates, or other lowered subscription rates.

Requests made after the seven (7) day purchase date window will be denied. You understand that if you purchase a new account within three (3) months of being issued a refund on a previous account purchase, you will not be eligible for a refund on that new account, even if you request on during or after the seven (7) day period.

    Payments via Cryptocurrency. If you are seeking a refund after paying for the Platforms via cryptocurrency, then you must provide to Shells a wallet address for the refund to be credited. You acknowledge, understand, and agree that by paying Shells using cryptocurrency as a transaction method, you are using a payment means that is not backed by an official governmental entity or international financial institution, and that the payment system may be prone to large fluctuations in value in a short period of time. You agree that any refunds for transactions using a specific cryptocurrency will be assessed on the cryptocurrency’s exchange rate to USD at the time of the refund disbursement, and not at the time of the original transaction or refund request. Due to limitations with third-party payment processors, certain accounts cannot be refunded by Shells directly. Accounts purchased through gift cards or third-party deal sites can only be refunded by the payment processor.

    Domain Names, IP Address, and DNS Records. You are solely responsible for maintaining valid information with your domain name registrar for any domain hosted on Shells network, and only use IP addresses assigned to you by Shells in connection with the Platforms. You agree Shells may, at its sole discretion, modify, transfer, or delete any DNS record or zone on Shells manage or operated DNS services or services upon request from the registrant or administrative contact according to the registrar’s WHOIS system.

You agree Shells may permit a relevant authority to inspect your content or traffic if Shells is legally required to do so, provided Shells gives you reasonable prior notice (where permitted by applicable law and regulation). Shells may report to appropriate authorities any conduct you commit that Shells believes violates applicable law without prior notice to you (including providing any information about you, your users, or traffic). Shells may cooperate in response to a formal request from a law enforcement or regulatory agency investigating conduct Shells believes violates applicable law, or in a civil action that on its face meets the requirements for such a request.
