Last updated: June 25, 2023

Thank you for considering Skyrocket Radio for your Radio Station Website(s).  Please read these terms of use carefully, they may have changed since your last visit. This is a legal agreement. When creating a new account or by continuing to use Skyrocket Radio you confirm your agreement to these terms of use (a.k.a “Terms”), our Privacy Policy, and our Anti-Spam Policy. If you do not accept either of these, then you may not make use of this website or the products offered within.

1. General Terms of Use

We may amend the Terms at any time as the result of a regulatory change or for any commercially reasonable reason. Our future performance of our obligations under the Terms is sufficient consideration for an amendment. Any amendment will become effective upon notice to the User, either by email or by posting it on the Website. If you do not agree to any amendments you must cease your use of our website services and terminate your account. Any terms provided to you in any other form are null and void.  All funds listed in these terms and within our billing statements will be in United States Dollars.

2. Subscription Service

Skyrocket Radio agrees to provide the subscriber with website design and website hosting services, consisting of website server space and such additional services, as may be provided by the subscriber in order for the continuous operation of the website. Skyrocket Radio reserves the right to change or modify the features of the subscriber’s service plan from time to time to increase trustworthiness. The Subscriber’s continued use of Skyrocket Radio’s services after receipt of such notice of modification shall constitute the subscriber’s acceptance of an agreement to be bound by Skyrocket Radio’s modification of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3. Fees, Payments & Usage

(a) Skyrocket Radio, LLC provides web hosting, regular support, and website code licensing to subscribers for a monthly fee of $125 per domain for one to three websites.  The monthly fee decreases to $100/month starting with the fourth website domain.

(b) Subscribers are solely responsible for all charges and fees arising out of any use of your Account by you or anyone else using your Account.  Skyrocket Radio reserves the right to modify any fees provided notice is given either by email or through this website. Fees must be paid in advance of any services being provided.

(c) Depending on the subscription package, each month during the agreement term a set number of minutes of admin area training will be provided at no additional cost to the subscriber. Training time is not cumulative from month to month. Additional training shall be available at the rate of $75/hour with a minimum of (1) hour.

(d) All website content is the responsibility of the client station. Skyrocket Radio does not provide website content beyond the initial setup process.

(e) An initial $400 setup fee per website is required for all new website projects.  Setup includes content transfer from a previous website and limited creation of new content established within the “prelaunch” guidelines.

(f) A $250 setup fee is required for each brand-specific page on a single website.  For example, radio stations require brand-specific pages on a corporate or market news site.  The setup fee covers entering on-air schedules for those stations and other content that would be applicable to any other stand-alone website.

(g) A setup fee of $400 will be required to restore any previously canceled or terminated Skyrocket Radio website from backup and to make appropriate updates/modifications.

(h) Domain name changes and template switching requires additional time not covered as regular support.  A fee of $125 per hour, not to exceed $375 total, will be assessed to switch account domain names or templates (ie “Bigtown” to “Launch”).

(i) Any other service agreed to that is not mentioned in this agreement can be performed at our regular hourly rate of $125/hour.

(j) Skyrocket Radio agrees to provide equal shared server hosting services to all subscribers. We never throttle customers or cut their sites off for getting a traffic spike. Traffic spikes are a great thing to happen to your site, and Skyrocket Radio wants to be your partner in that success.

As websites grow in popularity, it can become essential that an alternate hosting configuration or additional hardware be added to compensate for and enable continued growth; and to protect the service performance and resources for other subscribers.  To offset the cost of setup and/or additional hardware, additional monthly fees may be required as follows.

(1) Subscribers maintaining 250K visitors/month for three or more months in a row will incur an additional $30/month/site.  Subscribers maintaining 450K visitors/month for three or more months in a row will incur an additional $45/month/site.  Visitor counts are calculated by the hosting server admin panel and may differ from Google Analytics data.  All additional fees will be discussed prior to appearing on any billing statement.

(2) Large images take extra server space to store and bandwidth to serve your visitors.  We have suggested image sizes posted in the website admin as well as templates to download.  Subscribers who disregard these suggestions and continually use excessive image sizes will require additional server resources to maintain over time.  Additional monthly fees for these resources will vary on the degree of necessity.

4. Recurring Payments

(a) Upon signup, all Skyrocket Radio subscribers must enroll in our recurring payment program or “auto-pay”.  By enrolling, you authorize Skyrocket Radio to initiate recurring monthly charges from your specified credit or debit card.  Initial setup fees are non-refundable.

(b) The amount charged to your credit card every month will be the current balance on your account. Your current balance is the amount on your statement, plus additional charges billed to your account after your statement was issued, less any credits or payments posted to your account after your statement was issued. Once your enrollment is processed, all payments will be automatically withdrawn from your designated credit or debit card on the Skyrocket Radio statement due date.

(c) Subscribers agree to be bound by any rules your financial institution requires for pre-authorized electronic funds transfers and/or that your debit or credit card issuer requires for pre-authorized debit or credit card transactions. You are responsible for all fees charged by your financial institution associated with the pre-authorized payment option.

(d) Subscribers must maintain/update all changes to their credit/debit card information at skyrocketradio.com and/or skyrocketrad.io. If Skyrocket Radio is unable to charge your credit card or withdraw funds from your debit card for the amount due on your Skyrocket Radio account, you may be subject to applicable late fees.

(e) If any unpaid balance is more than seven days late, a $35 late fee will be assessed per domain on the account.

(f) If any unpaid balance is more than fifteen days late, each website(s) on the corresponding plan will be deactivated showing a non-payment message.  A $75 restoration fee per domain will be added to the unpaid balance to restore each website(s) on the plan.  In addition, any promotional discounts or offers will be forfeited.

(g) Any unpaid balance more than 30 days late, or perpetually late payments, will constitute a breach of this agreement and will result in account termination and removal of the plan website(s) without a backup of the content.

(h) Skyrocket Radio will make your monthly statement available to you online. You can access your monthly statement by logging into your account at skyrocketradio.com/my-account or skyrocketrad.io and clicking the “Billing” option. You agree to review each invoice you receive and give Skyrocket Radio notice of any errors or disputed charges.

(i) SKYROCKET RADIO SHALL BEAR NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSSES OF ANY KIND THAT YOU MAY INCUR AS A RESULT OF ANY DELAY IN THE ACTUAL DATE ON WHICH YOUR ACCOUNT IS DEBITED OR YOUR CREDIT CARD IS CHARGED.
