Billing and Payment Information
1. Billing
By the account activation date of each month, Green Line will either:
We bill most of our services annually. However, some services may be billed monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually, depending on the service. Our billing system generates a renewal invoice 30 days before the service's renewal date. Customers must pay invoices before the due date. All services unpaid by the due date will be suspended on the due date. If invoices remain unpaid for 30 days past the due date, the service will be terminated.
We accept cash, cheques, and online transfer payments to our local bank accounts, as stated on the account details page.
We also accept credit card payments. VISA and MasterCard payments are handled by the Secure Payment Gateway, facilitated by Sampath Bank PLC, for customers connecting from Sri Lanka. Otherwise, customers will be redirected to an International Payment Gateway. Credit Card Payments made through the PayHere Secure Internet Payment Gateway are accepted in LKR (Sri Lankan Rupees).
All international Credit Card Payments are handled by the 2CheckOut.com International Payment Gateway. Customers will be asked to pay invoices in USD as 2Checkout.com does not support LKR. Currency conversion on the system is set at USD 1.00 = LKR 310.00, and no refunds will be provided for currency rate differences due to exchange rate fluctuations with the current market rate.
We also accept online payments using PayPal through the 2CheckOut.com International Payment Gateway. Customers will be asked to pay invoices in USD as 2Checkout.com does not support LKR. Currency conversion on the system is set at USD 1.00 = LKR 310.00, and no refunds will be provided for currency rate differences due to exchange rate fluctuations with the current market rate.
2. Prepayment
It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment information is up to date and that all invoices are paid on time. You agree to pay for the services in advance of the time period during which such services are provided. Subject to applicable laws, rules, and regulations, at our sole discretion, payments may be applied to outstanding invoices in your billing account.
3. Autorenewal
Unless otherwise specified, you agree that until and unless you notify Green Line of your desire to cancel the services, you may be billed on an automatically recurring basis using your credit card or other billing information on file with us. This is to prevent any disruption to your services. However, we are not obligated to bill you automatically.
4. Advance Account
If you maintain a credit balance, we will deduct from it when you purchase products or services from us. If the credit balance is insufficient to process the order, the order may not be processed. Any negative balance in the Advance Account will become immediately payable. If you do not correct a negative balance within 24 hours, we reserve the right to terminate the services with immediate effect and without any notice.
5. Taxes

The company offers a fifteen (15) day money-back guarantee for shared, VPS, and reseller hosting services only. If you are not completely satisfied with these hosting services and you terminate your account within fifteen (15) days of signing up for the services, you will be given a full refund of the amount paid for hosting. This money-back guarantee only applies to fees paid for hosting services and does not apply to any fees for additional products or services. For more information about our refund policy on additional products or services, please refer to the section on Non-refundable Products and Services.
3. Uptime Guarantee
We have an availability guarantee of 98.9% availability per month. If this is not met, we will, on request, credit your hosting with 1 day for each hour your site is down, up to a maximum credit of 30 days in any calendar month. The Uptime Guarantee is only applicable to shared web hosting. It is not applicable to domain name registrations or other kind of services.
Cancellations and Refunds
1. Refunds
Only first-time accounts are eligible for a refund. For example, if you’ve had an account with us before, canceled, and signed up again, or if you have opened a second account with us, you will not be eligible for a refund. Violations of this Agreement will void your rights under the refund policy.
Our refund policy does not apply to any additional items or services. This includes, but is not limited to, Domain Registration, dedicated servers, virtual private servers (VPS), POS systems, SMS Gateway, Websites, Designing, other products, and overage fees.
2. Non-refundable Products and Services
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, there are no refunds of any fee (including, without limitation, administrative fees and/or taxes) on any other services of the company mentioned in refund policies.
3. 15-Day Money-Back Guarantee
Without waiving any of its other rights under this Agreement, Green Line offers its Customers a 15-day money-back guarantee on fees for hosting services. There is a 3-day money-back guarantee for VPS and dedicated servers. If you cancel your account within fifteen (15) days, starting from the day Green Line dispatches your welcome email, including your account information or the day you place the order with us, whichever comes first, Green Line may issue a refund after investigating the cancellation reason. Green Line has all authority in the refunding process. However, this guarantee is only available if you have never previously obtained a refund under the 15-Day Guarantee. If you have previously obtained a refund under this guarantee, your account will be cancelled, but no refund will be issued.
4. Limitations on the 15-Day Guarantee
Changes to your service, including, but not limited to, adding new services, removing services, or changing the type of hosting plan you have, do NOT make you eligible for an additional 15-day guarantee. The 15-day guarantee applies only to your first order of Web hosting services from Green Line and does not apply to any subsequent changes to your service.
5. Cancellation Process
You may terminate or cancel the Services from the control panel. If you cancel the Services, you are obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such cancellation. Suppose you request to suspend or cancel your customer account. In that case, your access to the control panel will be suspended, and you will not be able to access the billing system to renew products or services or update your account information. However, you will continue to have access to use the Services purchased until the end of your prepaid term.
Please note that if you have pending orders outstanding on your account at the time you cancel your account, we will continue to process those orders as long as your Advance Account has sufficient funds to cover the charges. If we are unable to fulfill any orders, the charges for such orders will be reversed, and we reserve the right to cancel such orders.
We reserve the right to deny or cancel any order within thirty (30) days of processing such order. In such cases, we will refund the fees charged for the order.
Customers may voluntarily cancel their account at any time, for any reason or for no reason, by requesting a cancellation from your members area at https://manage.greenline.lk (https://manage.greenline.lk/ > Services > My Services > Product/Service > View Details > Management Actions > Request Cancellation).
Green Line requires a seven (7) day cancellation notice prior to the anniversary billing date for discontinuance or downgrades of month-to-month services. Failure to supply the requisite seven (7) days will result in a full billable monthly cycle prior to cancellation. All due amounts must be settled in full before we cancel the customer account. Customer understands and agrees that Green Line does not provide pro-rated or any other kinds of refunds on cancellations. All fees the Customer has paid shall be nonrefundable unless stated otherwise under our 15-day money-back guarantee.
All cancellation requests must be made directly via
[www.manage.greenline.lk](http://www.manage.greenline.lk). Cancellation requests are not
accepted by email, postal mail, or phone. If a customer cancels a recurring order by contacting
any third parties, we will consider it an account cancellation request. In such cases, Green
Line reserves the right to terminate the customer account with immediate effect without any
prior notice.
