We make every effort to ensure websites are designed to be viewed by the majority of visitors. Websites are designed to work with the most popular current
browsers (e.g. Google, Bing, Firefox etc.). We cannot guarantee correct functionality with all browser software across different operating systems.
We cannot accept responsibility for web pages which do not display acceptably in new versions of browsers released after the website has been designed and
handed over to the customer. As such, we reserve the right to quote for any work involved in changing the website design or website code for it to work with
updated browser software.
Whilst we and our suppliers will always endeavour to give you the best possible level of service, we cannot guarantee the availability of service. Neither we
or our suppliers accept responsibility for any losses caused through a loss of service.
Hosting websites
We offer a limited hosting services through an out-sourced virtual server. We do not guarantee continuous service and will accept no liability for loss of
service, whatever the cause.
Web hosting is an online service that enables you to publish your website or web application on the Internet. When you sign up for our web hosting service,
you basically rent some space on a physical server where you can store all the files and data necessary for your website to work properly.
Storage and Bandwidth required are estimated based on initial consultation. If either exceed expected usage, then the hosting fees will be revised.
Telephone support is offered during normal working hours or beyond in emergencies.
Customers agree to an initial twelve (12) month contractual term of service, following that, hosting agreements will automatically renew for successive
twelve (12) month Terms unless cancelled in writing by the customer at least 30 days prior to the end of term renewal date. Renewal prices are subject to change.
Renewal of services by the customer indicates agreement to any contract revisions and price changes. Renewal fees will be automatically invoiced to customer's account.
Email accounts created (e.g. name@yourwebsite.com) as part of your hosting package, can be accessed via webmail login or an email client of your choice. Email
clients offer setup and troubleshooting information online. (An email client is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. Eg. Outlook,
Thunderbird or Gmail)
We make no warranties or representations of any kind, whether expressed or implied for the hosting service provided. We also disclaim any
warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose and will not be responsible for any damages that may be suffered by the customer, including loss
of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries or service interruptions by any cause or errors or omissions of the customer.
Connection speed represents the speed of an end-to-end connection. We do not guarantee the speed or availability of end-to-end connections.
We expressly limit our damages to the customer for any non-accessibility time or other down time to the pro-rata monthly charge during the system unavailability.
We specifically deny any responsibilities for any damages arising as a consequence of such unavailability.
We may request that customers change the type of hosting account used if that account is deemed by us to be unacceptable because of poor service,
lack of bandwidth or in any other way insufficient to support the website. Fees for hosting are due monthly from the commencement of any period of service and
are non-refundable.
Domain Registration
It is recommended that customers purchase their own domain names. We cannot guarantee the availability of any domain name. If we are to register a domain name
on behalf of a customer that domain name becomes our property and the customer should not assume a successful registration.

to another. Rankings will also vary as new sites are added.
