In such circumstances, Mungles reserves the right to delete any and all information, and web pages in the User Website at any time. If we cancel your subscription we will not refund any payments. However if we believe the grounds for cancelling your subscription are not your responsibility we may at our sole discretion refund an amount we consider a reasonable part of the price paid for the subscription.

3.9. Service will automatically renew until cancelled. In order to cancel service, you should contact Mungles using the Admin Panel Support Form at least fourteen days in advance of the end of the current Billing Cycle. A Mungles representative will assist you with the cancellation process. Please be aware that there are no pro-rated refunds upon cancellation. Mungles will confirm the cancellation request when it is processed. If you do not receive a confirmation, please contact Mungles as soon as possible. Cancellation of service does not relieve the customer from paying any outstanding balance owed on the account.

Depending on the severity of the violation, Mungles may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate a customer's User Website hosting and Subscription account and/or pursue other civil remedies. If such violation is a criminal offense, Mungles will notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities of such violation. An unlisted activity may also be a violation of these terms if it is illegal, irresponsible, or constitutes disruptive use of the Internet. Mungles does not issue credits for downtime incurred through service disablement resulting from violations of these terms. Violators of the policy are responsible, without limitations, for the cost of labour to rectify any damage done to the operation of the network and business operations supported by the network, and to respond to complaints incurred by Mungles.
