Terms & Conditions

WEBHOSTING AGREEMENT

This agreement (“Agreement”) is between Force 10 Hosting Limited of St John's House, 54 St John's Square, London EC1V 4JL and the participant (“you” or “your”). This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which you agree to use FORCE 10 HOSTING’s Web Hosting Service (“Service” or “Services”).

1. Service
1.1 Commencing on the date on which you initiate the Service, you will have use of the Service pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein. In exchange, you will pay the current charges for such Service, including setup charges, if applicable. The terms, conditions and charges for the Service may be periodically modified upon agreement between us. After not less than 14 days notice of a modification in writing by FORCE 10 HOSTING, your continued use of the Service constitutes an affirmative agreement to be bound by such new terms, conditions and charges.
1.2 The Service shall continue until such time as you provide FORCE 10 HOSTING with two months’ written notice that you wish to discontinue the Service, or the Service is terminated and/or cancelled by FORCE 10 HOSTING, as set forth herein.
1.3 FORCE 10 HOSTING reserves the right to modify the Service provided this does not detract from the original service in any material or detrimental way. FORCE 10 HOSTING will notify you of same by not less than 14 days notice in writing.

2. Fees
2.1 The charges for the first year of the Service will be as advertised at http://www.force10hosting.com/. Thereafter the Charge for the Service will be based on FORCE 10 HOSTING’s standard annual charge for this service, which may change from time to time upon agreement between us.
2.2 The annual charge will be invoiced annually in advance, the first installment due within 14 days of acceptance of this contract. Thereafter, annual charges will be invoiced 14 days prior to the renewal date of service and payment shall be due within fourteen days.
2.3 Bandwidth usage in/out of the service is unlimited, but provided under the terms of a ‘fair usage’ policy. If you regularly use the service inappropriately, and we believe this is unfairly affecting other customers' use of the service, we'll manage your bandwidth during peak times (which could result in reduced service speeds). If you continue to use your service inappropriately we reserve the right to end your agreement with us and will give you notice before doing so.
2.4 If any portion of the charges is not paid when due or is received after the due payment date, FORCE 10 HOSTING reserve the right to suspend the Services and to charge interest on overdue payments at the standard rate of the Natwest Bank plc from time to time in respect of the entire outstanding balance for each month or portion thereof from the date payment was due until the date payment was actually received.
2.5 FORCE 10 HOSTING shall be entitled to charge you for unusual or excessive telephone, shipping, handling, media or user manual expenses in connection with the Services, provided that FORCE 10 HOSTING has notified you and you have authorised such expense in advance.

3. Provision of Service
