For example, if notice is given on the 15th of January, the termination will take effect on the 1st of March. Particular Service Terms may allow for shorter notice periods.
11.2 The Client must give notice of termination to Biohost via the Client Area. Cancellation of any Service is the Client’s responsibility and all tools to effect such cancellation are provided in Client Area. The Client is responsible for ensuring that such cancellation of service is actioned with due attention to terms of cancellation, as well as cancellation conditions which require the Client to specifically indicate a required process. Should the Client incorrectly complete the cancellation process, Biohost will not be liable for any additional costs or compensation due to the error.
