4. Is firewall can be blocked from a Root Server (VPS or Dedicated)?

It can be turned off, of course, But not recommended at all. Turning it off may cause security issues to your server. It is up to you as you have the root access to the server. Instead of turning off the default server firewall (Windows or Linux), You should check if you can open any port so the firewall remains turned on and your activity also remains online. If any app or connection asks you to turn off the firewall instead of opening ports or making an exception, It could be dangerous.

5. Do you have any Privacy Policy?

Of course, we have this. Please check this - " https://rootlayer.net/privacy-agreement/ "

1. What if i upgrade in the middle of my subscription?

It is possible, of course. Let's give an example. You purchased on 1st of January and it will end on 30-31st of January. You need to add an additional Drive cost 10 EUR Per month and you want to add this on 15th of January. You need to pay 10 EUR in full. Suppose your Regular Server bill was 40 EUR and then you have upgraded Drive for extra 10 EUR. It means, your next month's due date will be 50 EUR (40 + 10 EUR). You pay upgrade on the first day of your subscription or last day, it will still be counted as "Current Month Subscription" Payment & from the following month, the regular price & upgrade price will be merged and you will have to pay it. You can ask us to downgrade anything just before paying the renewal so we can review and confirm whether that is possible or not. Contact us for further assistance.

2. Being an old user why my service closed because of a late payment?

OLD users can, of course, enjoy the max facilities. Make sure you contacted us before your service gets closed due to not paying on time. If you do not contact us on time, Our automated system will do its job accordingly. If you can't pay on time and need extra time, you need to tell us this Via Ticket. Your Skype or Email contact may not be reached to us because of some issues but Support tickets always work.

3. Do you accept payment from an Unverified Paypal?

We prefer you pay using a "Verified" Paypal. We reserve the rights to ignore any payments that comes from an "Unverified" Paypal or the subscriber has failed to verify the ownership of Payment.

4. Do you have any list of Accepted Payment Gateways?

Of course, we have. Check it out here - " https://rootlayer.net/payment-and-fees/ "

5. Do i need to pay "Gateway Fee" again during the usage of "Credit Balance"?

Of course, Not. Just make sure you select "Credit Balance" option from the "Payment Methods" drop-down. You will see "Credit Balance" option there and you do not need to pay any fee if you pay invoices using this option. Contact us if you need further assistance.

6. Why did my account or Invoice/Order remove?

If your account is new and order is placed or invoice is generated but not paid in the first 48 hrs or you have not communicated us yet, We reserve the rights to erase your account including unpaid orders/invoices. Please, be ready and place an order only when you are prepared. You can communicate us as always if you need any exception. We don't mind offering exceptions.

7. Can i use Paypal auto/recurring Payment system?

Make sure you top-up enough fund for your active service(s). Contact us for further assistance.

8. Service payment overdue. What will happen?

Very important question. We reserve the rights to perform an immediate suspension of the service when the invoice of the service is overdue. Instead, we give at least 24-48 hrs more and see if the user pays. Otherwise, we suspend the service on its 3rd day of overdue. If this is still not paid while the overdue reach to its 4th day, we will just terminate the service. Once terminated, it can not be recovered again. Be noted that you got your promised service duration already. The extra 3 days or something will be given to you for your convenience.

9. If Dispute is opened? What's next?

If you open a dispute which could be against our terms, we will communicate with the payment processor and try our best to defend the dispute according to our terms which you ticked during the membership/subscription. When you opened the dispute, your service with us will be locked and can also be terminated. At the end of the day, we will win the dispute and you will be the one who may lose his/her service with us as well. Opening a dispute is like a crime when you open this against the terms of your seller. Your info will also be posted on anti-fraud communities. Maybe the Anti-Fraud team will take care of this for you?

10. Credit-Card charged but shows unpaid?

If it shows unpaid from us means we never received the fund. It was actually, rejected because your bank caused an issue or our payment processor counted your payment attempt as 'Risk'. Your used IP could be blacklisted as well and that is why it was rejected. If you really paid and the fund was deducted from your bank/card, please contact your bank/card issuer. The fund will eventually be refunded sooner or later. (Within a few days).
