"Services" shall be any services provided to The Buyer pursuant to The Agreement as described on the relevant Order Confirmation(s).

1.0: In The Agreement, the masculine shall also include the feminine and the neuter, and the singular includes the plural and vice versa as the context requires.
1.1: The construction, performance and validity of The Agreement will be governed by English law and the English courts have jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with it.
1.2: No variation or amendment to The Agreement (including any Order Confirmation) is effective unless agreed in writing and signed by an authorised representative of The Seller.
1.3: The Buyer may not assign the benefit or delegate the burden of The Agreement nor sub-licence any of its rights under The Agreement (including to an associated company) without the prior written consent of The Seller. Any consent provided by The Seller under this clause is given on condition that the assignee or licensee, as the case may be, agrees to comply with the terms of The Agreement as if they were The Buyer. The Seller may assign or sub-contract any or all of its rights and obligations under The Agreement.
1.4: The failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or remedy of that party under The Agreement will not in any circumstances impair such right, power or remedy nor operate as a waiver or it. The single or partial exercise by either party of any right, power or remedy under The Agreement will not in any circumstances preclude any other or further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
1.4.1: Any waiver by either party of a breach of or default under the terms of The Agreement by the other party is not deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default and in now way affects the other terms of The Agreement.
1.5: Any notice to be given or made by either party under or in connection with The Agreement must be in writing and given or made to the other party at its address stated at the time when placing the order or to other addresses as either party may from time to time notify to the other. Every notice, if so addressed, is deemed to have been duly given or made, if delivered by hand, upon delivery at the address of the relevant party; if sent by Post, two Business Days after the date of posting and if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail, at the time of transmission.

2.0: The Seller will endeavour to provide any Services requested by The Buyer in accordance with the timescale set out on the Order Confirmation(s) but these timescales are estimates provided by The Seller and The Seller shall inform The Buyer if there is any anticipated delay but shall not be liable to The Buyer where it fails to meet the estimated timescale.
2.1: The Seller shall provide Services to The Buyer as described in the Order Confirmation and shall do so with reasonable care and skill and in accordance with its Service Level Agreement.
2.2: The Seller may, at any time, improve, correct or otherwise modify any of the Services provided to The Buyer provided that such modification does not materially affect provision of the Services to The Buyer. The Seller shall endeavour to provide The Buyer with reasonable notice of any such modification where practical.
2.3: The Seller will, upon arrangement and provided that no fees are payable, allow The Buyer reasonable access to any computer equipment owned by The Buyer but hosted by The Seller as part of its Services. In the event that any Fees are due to The Seller, then The Seller shall reserve the right to deny access to the equipment. The Seller has a general and particular lien over any equipment, software or other systems provided by The Buyer until all claims and money payable by The Buyer to The Seller on any account whatsoever have been received in full clear funds. If The Buyer fails to discharge any lien with a reasonable timescale then the equipment, software or other systems may be sold in or towards satisfaction of that lien and The Seller will account to The Buyer for any excess.
2.4: The Seller shall reserve the right to suspend or otherwise discontinue provision of any Services in the event that any Fees due by The Buyer are unpaid, or in the event that The Buyer is in breach of The Seller's Acceptable Uses Policy. The Seller shall only be obliged to recommence provision of the suspended Services during Business Hours and only once The Buyer is no longer in breach of the Acceptable Uses Policy or has paid all relevant outstanding sums due to The Seller together with any relevant re-instatement fee.
2.5: Where The Buyer has requested to purchase a Domain Name, then The Seller shall only be acting as an agent for the relevant Domain Name registry, and so a Domain Name registration or renewal is subject to the Terms & Conditions published by the Domain Name registry. When The Buyer requests to purchase a Domain Name, The Seller shall forward this request to the relevant Domain Name registry within a reasonable timescale of payment of any Fees due for that registration being received by The Seller. The Seller shall not be responsible in the event that it is unable to register the requested Domain Name for whatever reason that the Domain Name is unavailable for registration. Once a Domain Name has been registered, then The Buyer shall have the right to use that Domain Name in accordance with the relevant Terms & Conditions of the relevant Domain Name registry for the time period specified in the Order Confirmation. Prior to expiry of the Domain Name, The Seller shall send a notification to The Buyer by e-mail to the address which it holds for The Buyer. The Buyer shall notify The Seller of its intention to renew the Domain Name. In the event that a Domain Name passes its expiry date, then additional charges may be incurred if The Buyer wishes to renew the Domain Name after the expiry date. The Domain Name registry may also suspend the Domain Name until The Buyer has renewed the Domain Name with The Seller. The Seller reserves the right to not renew any Domain Name on behalf of The Buyer until payment for its renewal has been received. If a Domain Name is not renewed within a timescale as specified by the Domain Name registry, then the registry shall reserve the right to make the Domain Name available for registration by any other person and The Seller shall not be liable to The Buyer if this occurs. The Buyer shall have no right to bring any claim against The Seller in the event that it is unable to register or renew a domain name, and The Seller shall reserve the right to impose an administration charge to the equivalent value of the original registration or renewal request in the event that it is unable to register or renew a domain name.

3.0: The Buyer acknowledges that, given the nature of such Services, that The Seller cannot guarantee that any Services when delivered via the internet will be uninterrupted or error free.
3.1: The Seller shall provide Services on an "as is" and "as available" basis and no warranty or representation (expressed or implied) of any kind are given in connection with The Agreement including as to satisfactory quality and fitness for a particular purpose.

3.1.3: Any results obtained from the use of the Services will be accurate, complete or current.
3.2: The Seller warrants that it will provide any Services with a reasonable care and skill and in accordance with its Service Level Agreement. The Seller shall not be liable for a breach of such warranty unless The Buyer notifies The Seller in writing of such failure within 10 working days of The Buyer becoming aware of the failure.
3.3: In the event that The Buyer makes a valid claim against The Seller based on a failure by The Seller to comply with the warranty set out in clause 3.2, then The Seller shall be required to take such steps as deemed necessary to remedy such failure and such remedy must be completed by The Seller within 30 days. In the event that The Seller is unable to remedy such warranty failure, then The Buyer shall be entitled to terminate The Agreement immediately and shall be entitled to a refund for any Fees paid to The Seller for the provision of Services after the date on which The Agreement is terminated. If The Seller complies with this clause, then it will have no further liability for a breach of the said warranty.

4.2: If, in the opinion of The Seller, The Buyer is in breach of clauses 4.0 and 4.1 then The Seller may, without prejudice to its other rights and remedies immediately suspend the provision of the Services; terminate The Agreement or amend or remove any content appearing on any website or other system hosted by The Seller on behalf of The Buyer.
4.3: Where The Buyer is entitled to resell Services provided by The Seller to a third party, then The Buyer will:
4.3.1: Obtain acceptance of The Seller's Terms & Conditions by any such third party;
4.3.2: Be fully responsible for the acts and omissions of any such third party; and
4.3.3: Indemnify The Seller for any losses it suffers as a result of such acts or omissions.
4.4: Where The Buyer has resold any Services provided by The Seller to a third party, then The Seller shall only be entitled to provide any support or respond to any enquiries made directly by The Buyer and shall not be required to communicate in any way with such third party, except for queries relating to Domain Names where the third party is the registrant of such Domain Name to the extent that it is required to do so whilst acting as an agent between the Domain Name registry and the registrant. The Seller will endeavour to direct such third parties to communicate with The Buyer, but in the event it is required to modify or transfer a Domain Name upon the request of the registrant, where the registrant is not The Buyer, then The Seller will require a payment of GBP 15.00 from the registrant prior to the action of any modification or transfer request.

Part 2: Acceptable Uses Policy

For the avoidance of doubt, any activities or actions undertaken by clients, employees, contractors or suppliers of The Buyer which are in breach of The Seller's Acceptable Uses Policy shall be deemed to be a breach by The Buyer, whether such actions are undertaken with or without the knowledge or consent of The Buyer.

The Seller does not permit The Buyer to use its services for the purposes of distributing:

• Warez or other pirated software
• Racial Hatred
• Encouragement of Terrorism
• Abusive, Defamatory, Harmful, Malicious, Obscene, Offensive, Pornographic or Threatening Material
• Material which is illegal under UK law
• Copyrighted images, video or audio material without the permission of the copyright holder

The Seller reserves the right to delete any "inappropriate" material from The Buyer's account without prior notice.

The Seller must only use any webspace allocated to him for the purposes of their website, and should not use any webspace for the purpose of storing files not directly related to the website.

The Seller does not permit the running of IRC client, IRC server, IRC proxy or any other IRC related software on shared, dedicated or co-located servers on its network without the prior written permission of The Seller. The Seller reserves the right to delete such software and implement firewalls in order to protect the integrity of its network.

The Buyer may not store more data than is assigned to The Buyer as part of his account and The Seller shall reserve the right to delete any stored material where the total data exceeds the allotted limit to bring it within the limitations of the particular account.

The Buyer may not exceed any Data Transfer or Bandwidth limits assigned to his account, and The Seller shall reserve the right to charge The Buyer for any excess usage at a rate of £20.00 per GB or £200.00 per Mb/s where an excess usage rate has not already been specified.

The Buyer may not divulge any FTP, FrontPage, POP-3, SMTP, Control Panel or other password to any third party and should take reasonable precautions to ensure they are not discovered by any other party.

The Buyer may not send unsolicited e-mails (spam), adult material or illegal material through the mail servers of The Seller, or using an e-mail address that is maintained on one of our servers or any other server maintained on The Seller's network, or advertising any website that is maintained on The Seller's webservers or any other server maintained on The Seller's network. The Seller shall reserve the right to immediately terminate any website or e-mail account used for such activity or advertised by such activity. Any mailing lists maintained by The Buyer must be on a strictly opt-in basis.

The Seller shall provide SSH shell access to users of Linux web hosting accounts and The Buyer shall only use this for the purpose of setting up, editing and otherwise developing his own website, and not for any purposes unrelated to his website. The Buyer must not attempt to browse any of our shared webservers beyond the home directory provided to him. The Buyer must not attempt to gain the priviledges of any other user. The Seller shall reserve the right to suspend The Buyer's shell access to its servers where it believes The Buyer is in breach of this clause.

The Buyer shall not install software or scripts on the server, or otherwise use the service provided in such a manner that it causes a nuisance, disturbance, interruption or inconvenience to The Seller and/or its Suppliers and/or its Employees and/or its other Clients. The Buyer shall be responsible for ensuring any software or scripts installed on The Seller's servers are kept up to date and free from any security breaches.



Part 3: Broadband Fair Usage Policy

In order to maintain the integrity of our broadband service for all our users, it is necessary to have a Fair Usage Policy.

Our OfficeMax broadband service has unlimited downloads and no bandwidth throttling, capping or other traffic shaping will be imposed.

Our BroadbandStart ADSL and ADSL2+ services have a 2GB peak time download cap. If the download limit is exceeded, additional data transfer in that month will be billed at £1.50 + VAT per GB or part thereof over and above the limit. Alternatively, the user can elect to have their bandwidth limited to 256kb/s or 512kb/s respectively once the limit has been exceeded.

Our BroadbandMax ADSL, ADSL2+ and FTTC services have unlimited downloads, but peak time traffic shaping may apply when a user exceeds the fair usage policy for their service. The fair usage policy for BroadbandMax is 40GB of downloaded data transfer during peak hours. As there is no charge for exceeding this limit, then this is effectively an unlimited service.

Should a user's usage exceed the fair usage limit, then Peak Time Traffic Shaping will be applied to the line. Such Peak Time Traffic Shaping will apply between 8am and midnight, Monday to Friday and will limit certain traffic to 1Mb/s. We do not impose traffic shaping outside of these hours and will also not shape normal web and e-mail usage during peak time - specifically TCP ports 80, 443, 25, 110 and 143 and the traffic shaping will remain in place whilst the usage remains above the fair usage policy. Should usage continue to remain then exceed our excessive usage policy (which is 10GB above the fair usage policy) then a further limit will be imposed on the line to limit all traffic to 1Mb/s, and shall remain in place until traffic usage reduces below the excessive usage policy when the 1Mb/s Peak Time Traffic Shaping will be reapplied.

For heavy users, they may wish to consider upgrading to our OfficeMax product which do not have any shaping imposed, or can pay additional monthly fees to have the rate limit increased.

Users are able to monitor their usage in our online Control Panel which will advise of their usage over the previous 30 days.

All traffic shaping and rate limiting is imposed at the discretion of the management, and factors including the split between upload and download traffic, and the split between peak and off peak usage will be considered before applying a rate limit or traffic shape policy on a particular account.
