Simpl may choose to provide the Client with a prior written notice if the changes significantly impact the Client’s services, but Simpl will do this solely at its own discretion and is in no way obligated to provide notice. Any changes to the Terms and Conditions shall enter into force within thirty (30) days of their publication on the Simpl Web Site.

If you are under the age of 18, you can use the SIMPL Web Site only with the permission and under the supervision of your parents or legal guardian.

You can create an account by filling in the form provided on the Simpl web site and contacting our sales team. Fees associated with our services can also be found on our web site at https://Simplhosting.ca.
You agree to maintain and provide accurate personal and corporate information while you are using Simpl services. This includes your full name, current billing address, phone number and a working email address. You agree to update your information within ten days of any change.
You agree that Simpl may use and rely on any such information provided by you for all purposes in connection with your services, subject to Simpl’s Privacy Policy. Should you provide any information that is inaccurate, misleading or incomplete, or if Simpl has reasonable grounds to suspect that your information is inaccurate, misleading or incomplete, SIMPL has the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or terminate its services and/or close your account.
You agree to use your account solely for lawful purposes and agree that you are fully responsible for all content and data on your account.
You agree that you are fully responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your customer and login information, password, credit card number (collectively the “Account Access Information”). You agree that you are entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify Simpl immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or of any other breach of security. You agree Simpl will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else using your Account Access Information, either with or without your knowledge. You also agree that you could be held liable for losses incurred by Simpl or another party due to someone else using your Account Access Information. Simpl advises you to keep your Account Access information in a secure location and take precautions to prevent others from gaining access and/or using your Account Access Information. You may not, under any circumstance, compromise the security of your account or of the Simpl infrastructure in any way.
While Simpl 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 Simpl liable for any errors or interruption of services, whether within or outside of Simpl’s reasonable control.
You agree that you are solely responsible for the content stored on and served on your Simpl account(s).

Simpl can suspend or terminate without prior notice any accounts that do not comply with these Terms and Services in order to maintain a safe and secure environment for our clients.
Simpl will attempt to notify you in case of account suspensions or cancellations. In some circumstances, Simpl 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 at least 10 days prior to your service’s expiry date. The cancellation request must include all the necessary details to allow a Simpl agent to properly identify the account in question, including your full domain name and hosting account type.
For all services, Simpl provides courtesy backups to help protect your data.
However, backups can occasionally fail. Under no circumstance will Simpl be held responsible for any loss resulting from incomplete or incorrect backups. By using Simpl services, you agree to maintain complete backups on your own computers of all data stored on SIMPL servers.
Backups are offered as a courtesy service and while they are generally very effective, they cannot be guaranteed. Accounts using more than 10 Gigabytes of disk space or using more than 100,000 files may have their backup service automatically disabled in order to maintain system performance. On these accounts, courtesy backups may be reactivated by freeing up additional disk space and then contacting our Customer Service team.
Simpl 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 Simpl’s support team.
Simpl 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 see below.
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 Simpl clients. Our Acceptable Use Policy (hereinafter “AUP”) describes what is and what is not allowed on our servers, and is available at https://Simplhosting.ca/legal.
The use and installation of WP Engine SSL Certificates offered by Simpl are subject to the terms and conditions of WP Engine. Following an SSL purchase, a Simpl technician will request a certificate on your behalf and attempt to complete its installation on your account. Unless otherwise requested prior to the installation, an SSL certificate will be installed and will work exclusively on the domain name or subdomain that was requested. SSL Certificates are non-transferable. The installation of an SSL certificate does not guarantee the use of encrypted https protocol throughout your website. Additional website configuration changes are recommended to fully make use of your certificate’s data encryption.
In most cases, Simpl 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 Simpl cannot make guarantees regarding 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, which may make 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 the transfer of data from an old host.
Simpl is not directly associated with any search engines and is not responsible for the ranking of your web site in search results. However, Simpl does offer certain Search Engine Optimization services that may assist you in obtaining favorable search engine rankings with specific search engines, using specific keywords. Simpl cannot guarantee specific results beyond what is described or guaranteed on the SIMPL Web Site.
Simpl is fully committed to your satisfaction and offers the following money-back guarantee: if you are not 100% satisfied with the service obtained within 30 days of your purchase, Simpl will refund your hosting costs. The money-back guarantee applies exclusively to eligible services as described in the present Terms and Conditions.
Simpl guarantees a response to technical support questions received through our Support Ticketing system within a maximum of 24 hours during regular business operating days (Monday-Friday) (although we normally reply much faster than that!). This guarantee does not apply to incomplete support requests, requests that do not reach us (due to inappropriate use of the helpdesk support system), requests not directly linked to the services provided by us or that fall outside the scope of our service support, requests that have been responded to but require additional resolution time, or requests that cannot be answered due to causes outside of our direct control.
If a technical request is not answered within this timeframe, Simpl can issue an account credit equivalent to 25% of your pre-tax monthly fees per incident, up to a maximum of 100% of your monthly hosting fees, following your written request.
Simpl understands the importance of having a continuously available web site and guarantees a server availability (or “uptime”) of 99.9%, calculated monthly. Our services are considered available if they respond to external PING requests from at least two different external monitoring services.
Any scheduled maintenance outage will not be considered when computing monthly uptime. Sporadic or localized outages due to Internet network conditions outside of our control will also not be considered when computing monthly uptime, nor will incorrect DNS or account manipulations by the Client, including programming errors or script errors.
SIMPL will generate renewal invoices automatically for all your active services at least 15 days prior to their expiration date. When we generate a new invoice, we’ll send you an email with a copy of the invoice and will also make the invoice available online.
Unless otherwise requested, Simpl will attempt to charge the payment method on file 5 days prior to your invoice’s due date. If you do not wish to renew a service, please submit a service cancellation request at least 10 days prior to your service’s renewal date in order to avoid being charged for its renewal.
By making any purchase by credit card or by adding a valid credit card to your account, you authorize Simpl 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 account at any time.
Expired services can be suspended if left unpaid by their due date and may be permanently deleted, at Simpl’s sole discretion. Reactivating suspended services may incur additional fees.
You must maintain an active email address on file with us at all times in order 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 Simpl’s sole discretion. Should you wish to reactivate your services after they have been suspended, a reactivation fee may apply.
Simpl accepts payments by Visa, Mastercard, email transfer, and Paypal (which includes American Express). For amounts exceeding CAD $50.00, Simpl also accepts non-automated payments by check, Email Interac transfer, wire/bank transfer and direct deposits at an RBC branch.
All payments must be made in Canadian dollars, unless stated otherwise. A first payment is required prior to the activation of a service, and all following invoices must be paid in full prior to their due date. Any overdue invoice with carry 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 (checks, wire transfers, money orders, or 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 account credit to be used for future payments. Non-automated payments of less than C$50.00 are subject to a C$20.00 administrative fee, plus applicable taxes.
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. Special pricing promotions cannot be applied to renewals unless stated otherwise. Simpl reserves the right to cancel any promotional pricing for any user that attempts to circumvent its intended use or limitations, at Simpl’s sole discretion.
You can request a refund within the context of Simpl’s money-back guarantee by sending a written request through the Simpl contact form.
Refunds can only be issued using the same payment method for payments made by credit card or Paypal. Payments made by check, money order, wire transfer, Western Union, Money Gram, or Interac Email Payments can only be refunded as credit on your Simpl account.
Pre-paid funds cannot be refunded after the initial money-back guarantee period.
Refunds will generally be issued by Simpl within 7 days following the reception of your refund request, but some banks or credit card providers may incur additional delays before making those funds available to you again. Setup and installation fees are non-refundable. Simpl will not issue refunds for the same type of product more than once per account.
Billing errors can be refunded 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 Simpl as quickly as possible to correct the error.
In the event 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.
Bounced checks returned by Simpl’s banking institution due to insufficient funds will incur a penalty of $35.00, plus the full amount of the original transaction, plus applicable taxes.
All services on your account may be suspended and site ownership may be transferred to Simpl until the chargeback fee is settled in full.

During the time you are a client with us and for 12 months following you are not permitted to:
This document was last modified on February 27, 2023.
Simpl. Hosting (hereinafter “Simpl“) employs an Acceptable Use Policy (hereinafter “AUP“) to maintain the integrity and performance of its computer equipment. In a shared web hosting environment, several clients must share infrastructure resources. As such, it is important not to use your hosting account in a way that may negatively affect other Simpl clients. Our AUP describes what is and is not allowed on our servers. By using any of our services, you agree to comply with our AUP. Failure to comply with the AUP may result in account suspension or termination without prior notice. Simpl will remain the sole arbiter in what constitutes a breach of our AUP.
You may not use any of Simpl’s services for illegal purposes. You agree to comply with any applicable local, provincial, federal and international laws, government rules or requirements. You agree you will not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid to Simpl if, for any reason, Simpl takes corrective action with respect to your improper or illegal use of its services.
Simpl reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as Simpl deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in Simpl’s sole discretion. For our complete privacy policy, please consult https://simplhosting.ca/legal/.
Simpl has a zero-tolerance spam policy. It is forbidden to send unsolicited mail from or to our servers under any circumstance. Penalties amounting to a minimum of 150.00$, plus taxes, can be charged for a first offence, and penalties double for repeat offenders.
4. Email Delivery
Shared web hosting accounts are not designed to be used to send out large quantities of emails simultaneously, such as (but not limited to) order confirmation emails from your website. There is a limit to how many emails you can send per hour, per account. The number of emails per hour varies based on the plan you select. Emails sent beyond the authorized limit will not be delivered. If you would like to send larger quantities of legitimate commercial emails, please inquire with our sales team about implementing additional resources for your website/account.
A $150 administrative fee will be charged to your account if your public IP address gets listed in a public “blacklist” and we need to actively intervene in order to get it de-listed.
Simpl regularly backs up all hosting accounts on its servers, as described on the Simpl Web Site. Due to the resource-intensive nature of the backup process, Simpl cannot guarantee the regular and consistent back up and/or restore of accounts that exceed 20 giga-bytes (“GB”) of total data or more than 200,000 files (including emails, databases, regular files, statistics, and configuration files). Accounts that store more than 20 GB of data or more than 200,000 files risk no longer being backed up automatically. Manual backups will still be possible in most situations. To re-activate automatic backups, the Client must bring the total amount of data stored on their account to less than 20 GB of data and less than 200,000 files and contact our support department. Files exceeding 1 GB will not be included in the regular backups.
In order to guarantee reliable service, Shared Hosting Accounts may not use more resources than what would be required by a regular website in the course of its regular activities. Accounts may not use more than 5% of the total Simpl system resources for a period longer than 60 seconds. This includes CPU cycles, RAM usage, disk space, and bandwidth. Accounts found to be exceeding the allowed resource usage may be suspended without prior notice in order to prevent serious service degradation. Simpl will attempt to notify the client whenever possible and work with them to resolve any resource usage problem. Often, these types of problems may be resolved by repairing a faulty script, disabling a resource-intensive application, or banning malicious IP addresses from your account. Clients consistently using excessive resources may be required to transfer their account on a separate dedicated or private server, where resource usage limits are not imposed.
Simpl server resources cannot be used for any other purpose than to serve data from your websites. Under no circumstance can the server resources be resold, or used for data processing outside of the context of serving web pages or other web-accessible content to your site’s visitors.
Please note that a shared hosting environment is not intended for extremely resource-intensive sites. In these cases, custom dedicated server solutions or virtual private servers are recommended.
While we don’t impose fixed disk space limits, in order to protect our clients from users consuming an excessive amount of resources, we have established the following rules concerning the use of disk space on Shared Hosting accounts:
All processes invoked by the web server, cron, shell or other should not exceed the following limits:
All software and scripts installed on your account must be free of vulnerabilities, viruses, and malware. Any software having vulnerabilities documented on the Internet is strictly forbidden on our servers. Simpl provides automatic installation tools that can handle automatic software updates shortly after updates are released by the vendors. However, it is ultimately solely your responsibility to maintain up-to-date versions of your software on your account.
Insecure scripts and software may be disabled by Simpl at any time without prior notice to prevent issues with the server’s security.
You agree not to use Simpl systems for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by this AUP, and you agree to comply with any applicable local, provincial, federal and international laws, government rules or requirements.
Simpl reserves the right to terminate services, in its sole discretion, if you are using the services, in association with spam or morally objectionable activities including, but not limited to:
The following uses of our servers are strictly forbidden:
Explicit or pornographic content is strictly forbidden from Accounts.
You may not offer downloads of third-party software (i.e. software, games, or tools that were not directly created by you or for which you do not have an exclusive distribution agreement) from your hosting account. These are commonly referred to as “mirror” download sites. Instead, you are encouraged to link to the vendor’s original download site.
Due to the resource-intensive nature of these programs, you may not install and use real-time chat software on Simpl Hosting Accounts, unless this software was provided by us.
Cron jobs must not be scheduled more often than once every 10 minutes. Two or more separate Cron jobs may not be executed at the same time; a minimum of 5 minutes should separate two scheduled executions. You may not schedule a total of more than 5 cron jobs on any hosting account.
Simpl will, at its own discretion, determine what action will be taken in case of a violation of the AUP. Simpl reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account found to be violating the AUP without notice and without refund of any pre-paid fees. Violation of this AUP could also subject you to criminal or civil liability.
Simpl reserves the right to modify this AUP at any time without providing prior notice. You are responsible for all use of the Simpl services by yourself, your employees, agents, contractors, invitees and customers, whether such use is with or without your consent.
If you would like more information about Simpl’s Acceptable Use Policy, please contact us via our helpdesk. We will deploy our best efforts to assist you.
Please contact [email protected] or open a ticket in our helpdesk. Please ensure you include as much information as you can to assist our investigations. Complaints will be investigated within 24 hours of receipt, and we may follow up to obtain additional information. Unless we require additional information, you will not receive a reply or update from us.
Should any provision of these Terms and Conditions be contrary to law, void, enforceable or illegal for any reason, such provision shall be deemed severable from the Terms and Conditions and shall not affect the validity or the enforceability of the remaining provisions.
This Agreement and its interpretation are subject to the laws of the province of Quebec and the laws of Canada applicable therein, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws.

We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. We try to keep emails to a minimum and give you the ability to opt-in to any marketing communications we send. You may opt out of receiving marketing email communications by following the detailed unsubscribe instructions located at the bottom of each email or by contacting Customer Service and requesting to opt out.
From time to time, we may provide you with necessary information (e.g., service-related announcements or legal information) to which you will not be able to opt out.
We take security seriously, and the security of your personal information is important to us. We employ a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order with us or access your personal information.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Your account information is protected by a password, which you should choose carefully and keep secure. If you disclose your password to a third-party, you may lose considerable control over your personal information and you may risk that legally binding actions be taken on your behalf. If the security of your password has been compromised, for whatever reason, you should change it immediately.
We encourage the responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities of our website, products, or services by contacting our Team.
You must be 13 years of age or older to register with us. We will not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. However, if a child under the age of 13 provides us with personal information, upon written request by a parent or legal guardian, we will delete this information from our files.
If you are under the age of 16, before you may order or use our products or services, your parent or legal guardian must provide written consent on your behalf to our Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, and this Privacy Policy. In particular, your parent or legal guardian must consent to your information being used for the purposes and for the manner described in this Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions regarding our privacy practices, you may contact us by email at [email protected].
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to adapt it to our company, products and services, and legal requirements. We will notify you of any material changes either by displaying a notification on our website or by sending you an email. Any continued use of our website, products, or services after any changes are made to our Privacy Policy will mean that you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
