Please take time to browse through the legal section of our site. This page contains important information regarding our terms of service, cancellation and disclaimers.

Terms and Conditions and User Agreement

When signing up to any of our services, all users agree to comply with the terms of use described on this page. By paying you are agreeing to abide by these terms of use.

We hope our legal terms are clear and jargon-free. If you have any queries, please contact us.

The following terms must be agreed to in order to use any of our services. If you do not agree to any of the below, you must not proceed with your order and must inform us immediately. We will be happy to explain any points if you are unsure of their meaning.

Money Back Guarantee

All our packages carry a one calendar month money-back guarantee. If you are dissatisfied for any reason at all then just let us know and we'll issue a full hosting refund! Please note that domain costs are not refundable. Please see the section at the bottom of this page entitled "Domain registration, renewal, transfer and restoration" for our current domain costs.

Abuse

Customers are responsible for all scripts, data and objects on their accounts. Abusive scripts are scripts which interfere with our systems and/or the accounts of other customers, or cause harm to any other computer system. Any account found to be the source of abusive scripts will be suspended and investigated. We will always notify customers and, where necessary, fully co-operate with the authorities. The sending of bulk, unsolicited e-mail is prohibited at all times.

Adult Content

Legal adult content as defined by UK law is allowed on our servers.

Illegal content

Any content deemed illegal by either US or UK law or the law of your country of residence is strictly forbidden and any material in breach of this condition must be deleted within 24 hours of written (e-mail or letter) notification or any affected accounts will face indefinite suspension and/or termination without refund or exception. We will fully co-operate with the authorities regarding any breach of the law.

Service Level Agreement

We guarantee 100% network availability and 99.9% service uptime, excluding planned or emergency server maintenance or conditions beyond our reasonable control. All customers will be notified of planned maintenance at least 48 hours in advance.

For every 8 hours of preventable downtime we will upon request credit a full 24 hours' costs to every account. Proof must be supplied in the form of external monitoring services, traceroutes from geographically diverse network locations or any similar method. We reserve the right to judge each complaint on a case-by-case basis.

Payment

Yearly services will be paid for one year in advance. Monthly services will be billed monthly. Quarterly services are billed every three months, and semi-annual services are billed every 6 months. In all cases renewal warnings will be sent at a minimum of 24 hours' notice.

All services must be paid for within 7 days of notification unless a written adjustment has been agreed. Failure to complete payment after this time will result in automatic account suspension until all debts are paid. Domain names expire on the due renewal date. As such we strongly recommend renewing a minimum of 48 hours before the expiration date.

Overusage

Account usage is checked frequently. All accounts will receieve notification when bandwidth usage is nearing the account's limit. Overusage will result in automatic account suspension unless a prior agreement has been reached. Upon suspension please contact us to arrange upgrade pricing. Package upgrades are also possible at any time. If no package upgrade is chosen, overusage fees are £1 per 10 megabytes of hard disk space and £2 per gigabyte of bandwidth and must be paid before the account will be unsuspended. Failure to pay overusage charges will result in immediate suspension and/or termintion.

Due to the nature of shared hosting each website lies with many other websites on the same server and as such they must peacefully co-exist. We do not have any hard usage limits and will not suspend accounts without warning. If we believe an account is having a negative effect on server performance we will contact the account owner to discuss options. We reserve the right to enact defensive movements such as immediately suspending accounts which cause an extremely detrimental traffic surge.

If you believe your website may be susceptible to very high usage you must contact us to discuss the suitability of our shared hosting environment.
