Unauthorized use of other peoples accounts or computers

We will strongly react to any use or attempted use of an Internet account or computer without the owners authorization. Such attempts include “internet scamming” (tricking other people into releasing their passwords), password robbery, security hole scanning etc.

Any unauthorized use of accounts or computers by a customer, whether or not the attacked account or computer belongs to us, will result in action against the attacker. Possible actions include warnings, account suspension or cancellation, and civil or criminal legal action, depending on the seriousness of the attack.

Abuse of Unlimited Traffic and/or Unlimited Storage Services

Some customers are privileged to be offered unlimited traffic and/or unlimited storage for their web sites. The intention is to provide a large space to serve web documents, not an offsite storage area for electronic files. All (90%) of your web pages (html) must be linked with files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.) stored on our server. Web sites that are found to contain either/or no html documents, a large number of unlinked files are subject to warning, suspension or cancellation at the discretion of our management. Any customer who violates our Policies in abusing either space/site transfer will be notified and given 2 days to remedy the problem. If the problem is not resolved within the allotted 2 day period, the client will be billed for the amount they go over their limit.

Payment for Web Hosting Accounts

All web hosting accounts are sold on a one year prepay basis. The full payment for a full years service is required at the time of placing your order. Payment can be made online by credit or debit card using the secure payment facilites, or the purchaser can print the order form and post it to us with payment. If the customer pays online, then the customer will receive an invoice / VAT receipt by email at the time of purchase. If payment is sent by post, then upon receipt of the order and payment, we will send an email invoice / VAT receipt to the customer. The renewal date for accounts will be one calendar year from the date of purchase or the date of previous renewal. Account renewal reminders will be sent by email about one calendar month in advance of renewal date. Payment must be received prior to renewal date. Failure to pay within these time limits will cause suspension of the account or additional facilities until payment is received. Payments made online can be made in UK Sterling only. Postal payments must be made in UK Sterling.

Upgrading Web Hosting Accounts

At any time, account holders may upgrade their web hosting accounts by purchasing additional facilities. Account holders can choose to have the upgrade take effect immediately or to have it take effect from the renewal date. If from the renewal date, then the renewal invoice will be adjusted to include the upgraded features. If immediate, then the account holder will be invoiced for the upgrades as for a new account, and payment will be due immediately. Upgrades made part way through the term of the hosting account will be charged at the full rate as if they were ordered as part of the original hosting account. An upgrade made part way through the term of a hosting account will be valid only until the renewal of the hosting account.

Data Transfer (Bandwidth) and System Resources

All web hosting accounts should remain within the agreed data transfer (bandwidth) allowance for the account. websitelynx accept that there are times when sites may unexpectedly exceed data transfer allowance for short period of time. websitelynx will not impose any penalty for such breaches of data transfer allowance providing that these breaches are small, are not frequent, and are not sustained. websitelynx  reserve the right to determine what constitutes small, sustained or frequent breaches of data transfer allowance. Many domains have to share the various resources (processors, memory, etc) available on the servers. websitelynx believe that no single domain should use excessive amounts of resources, as this may jeopardise server performance for the other domains we host. In the event that an account is deemed to be using excessive data transfer (bandwidth) or resources, websitelynx may suggest action to reduce bandwidth or resource use, or suggest moving the website to its own dedicated server. Account holders may also be subject to additional costs due to excessive data transfer or resource use. These costs will be agreed between websitelynx and the account holder.

Cancellation, Termination and Refunds of Web Hosting Accounts

All web hosting accounts are for a period of one calendar year from the date of ordering or renewal. Fees are charged on an annual pre-pay basis and are non-refundable. Account holders may terminate their accounts simply by not using them or by not renewing them. Failure to use or renew an account is deemed to be a termination of customers choice. No refund will be given where customers terminate or cease to use their account prior to the end of the term of the hosting account. In the event that websitelynx finds an account is in breach of the prohibited uses, then that account may be terminated without notice. No refund for the remainder of the year will be given. In the event that an account exceeds data transfer or resource allowances and an agreement cannot be reached between websitelynx and the account holder, then websitelynx may terminate the account. In this case, websitelynx may provide a refund for the remaining unused part of the year, subject to an administration fee of £10.00 + VAT.
