Terms of Service (TOS)

Use of Quicklyweb Service constitutes acceptance and agreement to our TOS (Terms of Service). All service provisions are subject to the TOS (Terms of Service) of Quicklyweb.

The TOS may be changed from time to time at the discretion of Quicklyweb. The client understands that change to the TOS by Quicklyweb shall not be grounds for non-payment.

Quicklyweb agrees to provide the client with web hosting services for a monthly or annual fee. Quicklyweb will never require clients to advertise for Quicklyweb on their website in any way shape or form unless agreed upon, such as a non-profit organisation receiving complimentary hosting. Clients are allowed to use Quicklyweb services for personal and/or business/commercial websites or content.

Content:

All services provided by Quicklyweb may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or presentation of any information, data or material in violation of any United Kingdom (or any other country) law is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, material that is threatening or obscene, material that is "adult only" content, or material protected by trade secrets and other statue. The subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Quicklyweb from any claims resulting from the use of the service which damages the subscriber or any other party.

Adult Content:

Quicklyweb does not allow adult "xxx" related websites, pornography and sex-related content on its servers. Nor do we allow adult subscription or membership based "pay sites". This includes sexual content, or links to adult content hosted elsewhere. This is also true for sites that promote any illegal activity or content that may be damaging to our servers or any other server on the Internet. Links to such materials are also prohibited. Quicklyweb will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

Educational adult websites and adult e-commerce stores are allowed but due to such a fine line we recommend checking with Quicklyweb support before hosting such websites. Quicklyweb will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

Some Examples of Unacceptable Content:

- Adult / Pornographic - Hacking programs / Hacking Archives / Hacking Information - Warez Sites - Spam / Spamming Software

Distribution or Transmission of Obscene or Indecent Speech or Materials:

Violation of indecency and obscenity laws can result in criminal penalties.

Intellectual Property Rights:

Material accessible to you through Quicklyweb's Services may be subject to protection under United Kingdom (or any other country) copyright laws, or laws protecting trademarks, trade secrets or proprietary information. Except when expressly permitted by the owner of such rights, you must not use the Quicklyweb Service in a manner that would infringe, violate, dilute or misappropriate any such rights, with respect to any material, which you access or receive through the Quicklyweb Network. If you use a domain name in connection with the Quicklyweb Service or similar service, you must not use that domain name in violation of any trademark, service mark, or similar rights of any third party.

SPAM and Unsolicited Email:

Quicklyweb takes a zero tolerance approach to the sending of Unsolicited Email (SPAM). Very simply this means that Clients of Quicklyweb may not use or permit others to use our service for sending SPAM Emails. Clients of Quicklyweb may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by SPAM from other services. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service.

If a customer is found to be in violation of our SPAM policy, Quicklyweb may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate a customer's account. In addition, Quicklyweb may impose a £100 penalty for each spam policy violation. Quicklyweb solely reserves the right to refuse or cancel service to known spammers. Lastly, Quicklyweb reserves the right to determine what violates this policy. As such, any violation may result in cancellation of services without refund.

"Catch All" Email Accounts:

Quicklyweb does not allow the use of "catch all" email accounts. This is the practise of anything@yourdomain.com directing all mail to a single mailbox. This practice is out-of-date and causes extreme surges of spam, both for you and for our spam filtering servers. To use an email address you must login to your control panel and create the required mailbox, catch-all mailboxes are banned and if found will be removed without notice or your account disabled.

Scripting, Applications and Background-running Programs:

We do not allow background-running programs. This includes any IRC related software such as bouncers and bots. We provide a hosting service not a shell service. You are not allowed to compile and run software on our hosting servers.

You are free to use any scripts (such as php, cgi or perl) you wish provided they do not affect the normal operations of the server and they are not mentioned specifically below.

Scripts that are commonly known for causing server disruption include large cgi-based message forums, auctions, galleries, and banner exchanges. In the event a script affects normal server and/or administrative operations, Quicklyweb reserves the right to disable the account pending client cooperation and resolution.

Scripts we do not allow include:

Due to the nature of scripts and applications available on the internet it’s likely that the list of banned scripts will be updated from time to time. This list will be kept updated under section 7.1.10 of our Shared/Reseller Account Specific Terms.

The installation, hosting or use of any of the following scripts on our shared and reseller / multiple domain hosting packages is strictly prohibited for reasons related to server stability and security.

* phpSitemapNG – Google sitemap creator
* UltimateBBS / UBB
* IkonBoard
* All versions of YABB forum
* CGI-Proxy, Anonymizer and all other Proxy scripts
* IRC related scripts
* Chat room applications (not including 100% applet based)
* phpShell and all other command execution scripts
* Webmail and eGallery modules of PHP-Nuke
* ‘Matts’ FormMail
* Chat servers/scripts of any kind are strictly prohibited.
* Formmail scripts using the filename "formmail" are prohibited.


Formmail and contact forms are acceptable providing the script is not named "formmail" for its filename and providing that you maintain the latest version of the script and it remains secure and un-abused by spammers.

We do allow you to have ONE remote MySQL user if requested. The user must have a fixed, non changing, IP address for us to grant access to. You can request a remote MySQL user via our helpdesk.

Network Security:

Customers may not use the Quicklyweb Network to attempt to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network, or account. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for the customer, logging into a server or account the customer is not expressly authorized to access, password cracking, probing the security of other networks in search of weakness, or violation of any other organization's security policy. Customers may not attempt to interfere or deny service to any user, host, or network. This includes, but is not limited to, flooding, mail bombing, or other deliberate attempts to overload or crash a host or network. Quicklyweb will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of systems or network security at other sites, including cooperating with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal violations. Users who violate system or network security may incur criminal or civil liability.

Physical Security:

For security reasons Quicklyweb operates 'closed' datacentre facilities. Physical access to any servers or related equipment at any Quicklyweb locations is not permitted. Only fully authorised Quicklyweb staff are permitted access to work onsite at these facilities.

Support Boundaries:

Quicklyweb provides 24/7 technical support to its Clients.

Quicklyweb limits technical support to its area of expertise, this is providing web hosting services and related features. Quicklyweb does not offer support for application specific issues such as php programming, cgi programming, html, website design and development or any other such issue. Quicklyweb does not provide technical support for YOUR Clients.

Any additional work you may require from Quicklyweb staff which does not fall within usual support boundaries is charged at a rate of £50 GBP per hour, in 30 minute increments. All charges will be discussed before work commences on a per incident basis. Examples of work beyond the boundaries of normal support include: site scripting problems, script installation, website design and development.

Cancellations:

Requests for cancellation must be submitted via an online support ticket at our helpdesk. Your cancellation will be confirmed by Quicklyweb.

Cancellation must be received 48 hours or more before your next payment is due. Quicklyweb will then stop all recurring payments due and you will NOT be billed again.

Changing a domains DNS to another provider or transferring a domain away from Quicklyweb does not constitute a cancellation request. A cancellation request must be submitted to our helpdesk and we will then confirm the cancellation date back to you.

Payment:

Establishment of this service is dependant upon receipt by Quicklyweb of payment of all stated charges. Subsequent payments are due on a reoccurring date that coincides with the date of signup (monthly or yearly terms).

Service may be interrupted on accounts that fall overdue (such as a credit card being declined or expired). Quicklyweb may, at its sole discretion, charge a fee of £15.00GBP to reinstate a suspended account.

When payment is declined from your chosen payment method we will send an email notification and retry payment the following day, this will occur 3 times over a 3-5 day period. After this period if we have not received payment or had notice from you that the due payment is in hand, your account will be suspended or terminated at the sole discretion of Quicklyweb.

It is very important you keep your email address on file with us current by notifying us of email address changes via account control panel. Failure to keep us updated with your current email address may mean important communications don’t reach you, resulting in suspension or termination of your hosting account.

A service charge, equal to the charge incurred by Quicklyweb, will be charged to your account for each cheque or other form of payment that is returned to Quicklyweb unpaid.

Refunds and Disputes:

All payments to Quicklyweb are non-refundable. This includes any setup fee and subsequent charges regardless of usage. If you dispute a charge to your credit card issuer that, in Quicklyweb's sole discretion is a valid charge under the provisions of this TOS, you agree to pay Quicklyweb an Administrative Fee of not less than £25 and not more than £100.

If you are paying annually for hosting services and cancel early before your 12 months of service is over, we will not issue a pro-rata refund for full unused months at time of cancellation.

Domain Name Expiry and Redemption Fee's:

Before a domain expires you will be reminded to renew your domain by email to the address we hold on file for you. On the date a domain expires it will be deactivated by the registry, and no longer display your website. Once a domain is deactivated and expired you will have 30 days to contact us to renew the domain name at our regular renewal rates.

Redemption Period - After 30 days have passed since the expiry date of your domain, the domain is placed in its "redemption period" and to renew the domain at this stage will cost $200 USD (approx £100 GBP). This is a cost charged by the registry and passed on to you by us. Redemption periods last between 30 and 60 days, and then the domain is released to the public so anyone can re-register your domain and you will lose it.

Domain Transfers:

Any domain name registered by Quicklyweb (as your registrar) is yours to keep. You can transfer your domain name to a different registrar at any time once the domain is 90 days old - Newly registered domains do have a 90 day waiting period where they cannot be transferred from Quicklyweb to a different registrar.

Free Domain offers:

Occasionally we run a promotion and supply a free domain name when hosting is purchased. The terms & conditions for our free domain name offer are plain and simple. We will register the domain name for 1 year (2 years for .uk domains) on your behalf. All we ask is that you stay hosting with us for a minimum of 3 months. If you decide to leave before 3 months and you want to take the domain with you we will only release it once you have paid our normal domain registration fee.
