Before creating an account with us, all users must agree to the terms and conditions of use. These are outlined below.

Permissible content

• Sites must not contain 'hateful' material or content which seeks to incite hate.
• Sites must not contain images, videos, depictions or descriptions of pornography which is unlawful in the UK or which is deemed to be distasteful at the sole discretion of J Gwynne Web Hosting.

Limitation of liability

J Gwynne Web Hosting makes no assertion that the service is fit for any specific purpose and as such cannot accept any liability for any consequential losses which may arise through a client's use of the service or from any disruption or unavailability of the service. J Gwynne Web Hosting's liability under this agreement will not exceed the total amount paid for the service.

J Gwynne Web Hosting will use its best endeavours to ensure the service complies with the service level agreement of 99.9% uptime.

Bulk e-mail

Bulk e-mail is not permitted through the J Gwynne Web Hosting systems without prior authorisation. Bulk e-mail is defined as any message sent to more than 250 recipients at any one time. Users wishing to exceed this limit must contact J Gwynne Web Hosting with a sample of the content prior to sending. Unsolicited e-mail is not permitted under any circumstances and will result in immediate termination of the user's account.

Scripting and software

It is the user's responsibility to ensure that any 3rd party software uploaded to their hosting account is up to date with security patches and free from any vulnerabilities which might allow it to be exploited by a malicious 3rd party to send unsolicited bulk e-mail or perform any other activity which contravenes our T&Cs. Users are solely responsible for any such action.

If not specifically stated to the contrary, our services are intended to be used for the purposes of hosting websites and e-mail. Batch processing, video encoding/transcoding, web crawling/spidering, archiving and online backup systems and any system designed to consume CPU or disk resources for purposes other than hosting a website are not permitted on our shared hosting servers. However you may use such tools on a VDS or dedicated server.

Any user who is operating software which is written in an inefficient manner and, at the discretion of J Gwynne Web Hosting staff, seen to be making inefficient use of CPU or disk resources will be asked to optimise the script or migrate to a dedicated server or VDS.

Additionally, scripts which make bulk postings to other websites, forums and blogs are specifically and strictly prohibited.

Proxy servers

Open proxy servers are not permitted under any circumstances and will result in immediate termination of service.

Abuse of the service

Unless permission is specifically granted by J Gwynne Web Hosting staff, users may not use the service for purposes other than hosting a website and providing an e-mail service. It is not permitted to use any of our shared hosting products as an external database server to drive a website hosted on another provider's system, except on a temporary basis to facilitate the migration of a website to J Gwynne Web Hosting and only with prior approval from J Gwynne Web Hosting support.

Contravention of Terms and Conditions by the user

If our terms and conditions detailed above are breached then the user shall be notified initially by e-mail and instructed to remove the offending content or cease the offending activity. If the user does not comply a second warning will be issued. After 48 hours the user's service will be suspended until such time that they contact us.

In the event of a serious or intentional breach of the T&Cs (such as illegal content being hosted or any activity which could disrupt the service of other users on the system or make J Gwynne Web Hosting subject to litigation) J Gwynne Web Hosting reserve the right to terminate the user's account immediately and without refund.

Refunds and cancellations:

Domain name registrations cannot be refunded or cancelled under any circumstances. All other services are subject to our Terms and conditions.

J Gwynne Web Hosting does not guarantee that any domain name you attempt to register through us is available for registration. While we make every effort to ensure that our information is correct, in extreme circumstances we may be forced to refund your payment and cancel the order.

J Gwynne Web Hosting will not take part in any dispute over the ownership of an internet domain or an individual or company's right to use it. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to suspend or cancel a domain name registration.
