Introduction

The following Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy and accompanying policies (collectively the “TOS”, “contract” or the “Agreement”) constitute a binding, legal agreement between Creationz (The “Company”, “us” or “we”) and the customer (the “Customer” or “you”) which shall govern the terms and conditions of services provided by the Company. The Company agrees to provide services to the Customer in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.

Currently our servers are currently based in the

Delta – Chicago, IL, USA
Earth – Los Angeles, CA, USA
Backup – Stockholm, Sweden, EU

Jurisdiction.

This contract and agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of England, United Kingdom, and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the said Country.

Order Acceptance

We use an automated ordering service where all accounts are activated upon receiving the first payment. (apart from VPS). All newly activated orders are initially supplied on a provisional basis. All new accounts will be reviewed for accuracy which will included the validation of any personal details that are submitted to us during registration. We may refuse and refund orders where we deem the order to be too high a risk, where we believe the documentation or details provided are not legitimate. We will not accept any orders placed using a free email address (hotmail, yahoo etc.), if you try and use a free email address your order will be classed as fraud by our security service Maxmind.

Contract basis

Your contract starts once your order has been accepted and an invoice issued. All services are provided on a minimum month to month basis. The minimum contract period is one (1) month. The contract and billing period start from the date that any service was ordered. If you cancel hosting with us or your account is suspended you will not be able to host with us within the following next 12 months. If you do decide too host with us again within the 12 months, then their will be a reactivation charge of £25. if you have any outstanding invoices, these will need to be paid before you can host with us again.

If you leave us without informing us then we reserve the right to remove all files under account from the server without backups being available and any outstanding invoices will be passed over to a debt agency.

If we provide a discounted annual plan and you cancel before the 12 months then we may refund for an unused period, but the used period will be charged at the full undiscounted rate.

Suppose your plan is normally £10/mo or £8.00/mo if paid annually (first payment is £96.00). If you cancel after 3 months, the refund will then be based on the monthly rate. Thus the refund I would give is £96-£30 = £66.

If you have taken one of the reduced/special plans through an online auction (such as ebay) then this charge is based on you keeping the plan for a minimum 12 month contract period. If you cancel before the 12 month period then you can be liable for the remainin 12 months at the normal rate.

Changing Nameservers

We cattu out regular checks on accounts held on our servers, these are random and does not mean we check every account during these checks (we pick a small selection). If during one of these checks we find that you have changed the nameservers on your main account domain away from our server but have not informed us of you leaving, we will contact you regarding your intentions and then if we dont here from you within 7 days then we will terminate your account and class the date you changed your nameservers as the account cancellation date so all service contracts end on that date. We will use the Domain Last Updated Date from a whois check from http://whois.domaintools.com and apply a £25 storage fee if any of your account files are still held on our server as we do not operate a storage facility on our servers for client who have left, even if they have prepaid.

Account Setup / Email on file

All accounts are activated upon receiving the first service payment and we and/or our payment partner(s) have screened the order(s) incase of fraud. It is your responsibility to provide us with an email address which is not @ the domain(s) you are signing up under. If there is ever an abuse issue or we need to contact you, the primary email address on file will be used for this purpose. It is your responsibility to ensure the email address on file is current or up to date at all times. Providing false contact information or using proxy details of any kind may result in the termination of your account without any refund.

Customers agree to supply genuine contact details which must include the name of the account holder, a current address with a postcode and a telephone number.

We reserves the right to seek confirmation of such details by using an email that will require a response or by contacting the account holder by telephone. Confirmation may be requested at any time. Failure to receive confirmation will result in the immediate termination of an account and the registered user being blacklisted.

Also free accounts must NOT have CGI enabled for security reasons. If you are to strip away the most common used in fraud attempt features eg, CGI, EMAIL, MYSQL etc and removing these from the feature list then there will be no problem in allowing automatic free web hosting setup.

2, We ask if possible to flick through suspicious accounts you have under your account and check for scripts that should not be there including nulled / pirated software. although nulled / pirated software is still the authors code, the people who crack this software can easily place code in there that can take down a server and some pirated software does do this. Pirated software is a breach of our terms of service and can result in serious penalties which can include been reported, so we ask all resellers to take care of both your own account and your clients.

We now have a piracy software scanner which detects such software and for any modifications then sends and email to abuse @ creationz.co.uk with details of reseller, account and location. You will be informed when piracy has been found.

Random Site Checks – We will carry our random checks of all sites held on our servers to make sure that sites are legal and above board. They could be our clients sites or your clients clients sites, if a site is on our servers then we can be checking on it anytime. If we find anything that contravenes our TOS and/or the UK law, then the site will be terminated with no backups or migration offered. You as our client will then be liable for our expenses and administration charges in finding and removal of any accounts. These currently are £50 per hour/part of hour (expenses) and £25 admin charge per account. (ie. 1 account removal takes 5 to 10 minutes depending how many sites are on the account and would cost you £75)

Unlimited/Unmetered – Resellers please be aware that offering Unlimited/Unmetered Space is strictly prohibited.

Parked Sites – We realise that from time to time you may need to park a domain. if you park a domain, the parked page must not contain more than 3 external advertising links, you can place as many links you want to sites hosted on the server. if more than 3 advertising links are found on any parked page then we can suspend the account.

Backup Policy:

Creationz: hosting does maintain it’s own backups of file, web, and database servers. These backups can be used by Creationz: hosting to restore a failed server or drive array. These backups are not for the customer’s usage. Customer restore requests may be made for a fee 25GBP per restore, unless you pay the 2 GBP per month backup fee. Customer is responsible for their own backups. Creationz: hosting holds absolutely no liability to any customer for any data stored on Creationz: hosting servers. If you plan to leave us, then you need to create and download a backup or request a copy of the last backup before the account is terminated, as once an account is terminated then the backup is automatically removed from the backup server.

Courtesy Transfer Service

Creationz: hosting performs all account transfers, account moves, cPanel transfers, server transfers and any other service which involves Creationz: hosting copying files of yours from a third party service to your Creationz: hosting service, hereafter known as a “transfer” as a courtesy service only. By requesting Creationz: hosting to perform a transfer you agree indemnify and hold harmless Creationz: hosting from any and all liability arising from the transfer and/or copying of your accounts. You also agree Creationz: hosting is not responsible for any issues relating to the transfer of your accounts, both on your Creationz: hosting service and at any other third party service from which Creationz: hosting may be transferring your accounts from, including but not limited to, missing or corrupted files, improperly transferred accounts, any and all fees you may incur from third party services such as bandwidth fees or charges from delays in transferring account, settings or files from third party providers which may not transferred, any downtime or outages, DNS problems, accounts set up on incorrect IP addresses, any issues at third party services which delay or prevent Creationz: hosting from performing the service, or any other issues. Creationz: hosting makes no guarantees regarding the availability of our transfer service or the amount of time it takes to perform transfers. Creationz: hosting can only perform transfers from any service which uses the same control panel that is used on your Creationz: hosting service (ie. cPanel). Creationz: hosting will still provide “best effort” assistance which includes general advice on file transfer and configurations, DNS settings, MySQL database imports, and other general assistance for Clients whose 3rd party service does not use the same server control panel. This service is from one server to a Creationz: hosting server only, If you have accounts on mulitple servers that you want transfered to a single Creationz: hosting server then we will charge £25 per hour to transfer accounts from a second server or any server after the first server.

So if you have accounts on 3 accounts (account A, account B, account C) and you want these transfered to a single account on our server then we will transfer account A free, but for accounts B and C we will charge £25 per hour

E-mail Policy and Spam

Having personal e-mail accounts alongside all of you and experiencing the issues spam can cause, we feel it is our responsibility here at Creationz: hosting to take a strong position against all unsolicited e-mailing, bulk emailing, and spam in general. Furthermore, applications such as safe lists, double opt ins and anything of the sort will be considered as spam. Any Creationz: hosting account that shows evidence of directly or indirectly aiding or sending spam of any kind will result in the clients account and services being immediately terminated with or without notice.

Depending on the severity of the spam, Creationz: hosting may issue a cleanup. In this case the Creationz: hosting account responsible for aiding in or issuing the spam will be charged a reasonable fee that is decided entirely by Creationz: hosting .

Mass e-mail, bulk e-mail and spam scripts of any kind are not tolerated on any of the Creationz: hosting servers. In an effort to enforce this policy Creationz: hosting servers are capped at 100 emails per hour per Creationz: hosting account, any more will simply be bounced back to the sender. If for any reason you require more than 100 e-mails per hour, simply open a support ticket stating the reason why the limit should be raised. The raise will be left entirely up to discretion of Creationz: hosting , however if the request is reasonable there is no reason to expect it would not be allowed.

In a further attempt to uphold the Creationz: hosting policy on e-mail and spam in general, Creationz: hosting completely reserves the right to delete, disable or change any website, database, Creationz: hosting account or any component under Creationz: hosting control that does not completely comply with this policy. In certain situations Creationz: hosting may need to issue these alterations in an urgent fashion, in this case Creationz: hosting reserves the full right to do so with or without notice.

Usenet (newsgroups, articles, messages, etc) Spam

Creationz: hosting as with any spam maintains a strong position against Usenet spam. This can consist of but is not limited to posting messages, articles or ads which violate any regulations, charters or rules of any newsgroup or mailing list. With this in mind, any messages that are suitable under these rules and regulations of a newsgroup or mailing list are of course permitted.

Payment of services.

We supply all services on a minimum month to month basis. All fees for Service provided by our company are due in advance of any service being supplied. An invoice for services due will be generated on your account and sent to your primary account e-mail address fourteen (14) days prior to your actual due date. Upon an invoice being generated, the customer must login to their clientarea and make full payment of all due amounts. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that full payment is received prior to/on the designated invoice due date.

All account holders agree to have an active PayPal subscription attached to their accounts. The payment subscription must remain active for the duration of our services being provided. Termination of the payment subscription without prior communication may result in account suspension. Account re-activation will only take place once a new arrangement has been agreed upon. A £10 admin fee may also be charged. If a payment is reversed for any reason then we will apply a charge of £50 to your account.

Overage Charges

Rather than suspend accounts when they exceed their monthly bandwidth limit until the start of the following month we charge £0.002/MB in overage charges.

Promotional Plans

Unless otherwise specified in advertising materials, Promotional Plans are applicable only to new account purchases, and cannot be applied to existing accounts or upgrades.

Pro-Rate Billing

We invoice on a pro rate basic, this can be fully explained below

In order to make our billing system as easy to use as possible we now charge our clients on a pro rata basis.

Like many phone companies, we charge you for our services from the first day of the month to the end of the month.

You may notice on your initial invoice you are being charged twice.

If you join us part way through a month you will be charged the equivalent of the time until the end of the month and the following month in full.

Because we now use a pro rata system you can no longer just pay for a straight month or year, you have to pay to the end of the month then either a month or year.

If you are given a month free, this will work the same as above “If you join us part way through a month you will be charged the equivalent of the time until the end of the month and the following full month free”

If you have any more queries or questions regarding pro rata and the way we charge you,

feel free to submit a support ticket or contact us via live support.

Invoice Schedule

Clients acknowledge that account credit can not be moved between accounts.

Clients agree that until you notify us of your desire to cancel any or all services received, those services will be billed on a recurring basis and you will remain responsible for all subscription fees that your account incurs.

Our invoice Schedule is below

If order left unpaid then
After 1 day a First Overdue reminder is sent.

Auction Listings.

A majority of plans listed on auctions sites are at special rates. We reserve the right to revoke these special plans at anytime and change your hosting to a regular hosting plan giving you at least 14 days notice of these changes. You will be given the opportunity to contact us regarding the changes, but if no contact is made we will make the changes on your behalf and take this as acceptance of the changes.

Free Domains with Hosting

Some of our Plans offer a Free domain, these domains will be registered in a clients name through our own Resellerclub account, these domains will be locked, so that these cannot be moved while you are hosting with us. If you cancel your hosting then you will be charged the full cost of the domain. If you refuse to pay or your account is terminated then the domain will be seized and placed in our own account and the registrant details changed to our own.

Free Hosting for 1 Year Offer (subject to availability).

For certain customers we offer free hosting for the first year. This is not a default offer. Creationz hosting reserve the right to offer this subject to availability. This is a 2yr contract offer only. Customers offered this discount will receive a bill for 1yr at the end of the first 12month period. Customers terminating their account within the first 30 days are entitled to a full refund. Customers terminating their account prior to the end of the 2nd year are required to pay for 1yr of hosting only.

Chargeable services.

We are quite happy to aid clients in anyway we can, but we are not a free service. This means that we are willing to help sort problems that require work/access to accounts on our servers, but if you ask us to sort any configurations, request us to add modules/purchased addons etc. or any work outside our servers (ie. domain registrars) then these are chargeable times. Our charges are £25 per hour/part of an hour with a min. charge of £25 (i.e. 10 minutes will be £25, 65 minutes will be £50. To install a 3rd party script or do work on a 3rd Party script will be chargeable from £5.95 depending on the script and work involved. If we get a support request that requires assistance due to an issue of misconfigured website settings we will charge a fee of £15. If we have to work on a MySQL database due to a clients misconfiguration or lack of backups then we will charge £40

Support Policy.

We will make all attempts to reply to the customers request within 1 hour of submission. We charge an hourly rate of £25 per hour in increments of 30 minutes for anything not covered within a management plan ( min. payment £25). Any services not hosted with us that the customer requests work on are subject to the hourly rate unless a separate management plan is ordered. If a unmanaged VPS customer opens a ticket with Managed Support to request intermediate to advanced technical support, a £10 fine will apply per ticket.

If any issue should come up with Customers service, the customer may not order a Management plan at the time of the incident. The hourly rate will apply, which after resolution, the customer may then opt to order a Management plan.

We do not offer 3rd party script support (i.e. scripts installed via Softaculous) most of the scripts have their own support network.

Overage

Normally when a hosting acount goes over their allocated resources the site will go down with a notice to tell visitors the site is down due to running over their usage. This will not reset until the beginning of the following month.

Our servers wont do this as we make a small charge of 0.002 per MB over allocated resources.

These invoices may not be sent out at the same time as your normal invoices and will not be merged into your normal invoices.

If these invoices are not paid then you will get the same reminder invoices as you would get if your normal invoices are unpaid, the only difference an overage invoice will not see an account terminated.

if you attempt to set up plans or services in violation to our Terms of Service then you do not qualify for the 14-day money back guarantee. For example, if you try and set up unlimited plans, you will not be given any refund as this is not a justified case of offering a dissatisfied service, this is a case of you accepting our TOS without reading them.

Bandwidth Usage

You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated allowance, rather than suspend accounts we charge 0.0020p per MB, this will be invoiced at the end of each month.

Uptime Guarantee

You pay us so that your site will be online. When it’s not online, you shouldn’t have to pay. It’s that simple.

We rarely have server issues that result in downtime, but on occasion, we will encounter a hardware or software issue that may cause a brief service interruption.

In all but the most urgent cases, we will send out an email notifying customers of maintenance that is to be performed. When notice is sent at least two hours prior to service interruption, the outage does not qualify for our uptime guarantee. Uptime percentages are derived from our internal monitoring systems.

This only applies to our shared/reseller plans (VPS and Dedicated Servers are EXCLUDED from this)

Reseller: Client Responsibility

Resellers are responsible for supporting their clients. We do not provide support to our Reseller’s Clients. If a reseller’s client contacts us, we reserve the right to place the client account on hold until the reseller can assume their responsibility for their client. All support requests must be made by the reseller on their clients’ behalf for security/privacy purposes. Resellers are also responsible for all content stored or transmitted under their reseller account and the actions of their clients’. We will hold any reseller responsible for any of their clients actions that violate the law or the terms of service. If a reseller’s client needs to contact us then we will charge a fee of £25 per issue, which will be required before we will answer the query, this can be issued to the reseller or the reseller’s client. so if an issue is solved in 1 ticket or 20 tickets it will only cost £25.

Shared (non-reseller accounts)

Shared accounts may not resell web hosting to other people, if you wish to resell hosting you must use a reseller account.

Support Abuse

Abuse of any kind directed towards our staff or network staff will never be tolerated. If you are disrespectful, use foul language, threaten us, or do anything else we may find offensive, you will be considered in severe breach of this agreement.

Misuses of CPU resources are classed as the server load exceeding 2.0 at any given time for any one domain name account.

Resellers are trusted not to oversell their space to an extent that it effects our server. Resellers abusing this will be terminated if an agreement can not be made

Bandwidth restrictions will be put into place if we deem the usage to be excessive and effecting other server users.

Accounts which exceed 750mb in total, whether the accounts is part of a restricted or unmetered package must be agreed by us prior to the content being uploaded. Failure to do this could result in the account being removed without prior notice for breach of contract.

If you are unsure about content you intend to place on our network, please check with us before you do. We reserve the right to determine what constitutes acceptable use.

Unlimited Domains:

Some accounts come with unlimited domains as a feature, but when accounts are set up their will be a set limit (usually 20), but once this is reached or if you require more then just open a ticket and let us know how many more you require, then when your limit is reached again then just repeat the process. Domains must run individual contented sites A violation of this will be if you add domains that just duplicate content (ie.set a domain to offer action DVDs, then set another domain to offer horror DVDs and then another to offer Comedy DVD’s) this is basically 3 domains offering the same products DVD’s as all servers have limited resources.

a) Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
