All details must be valid and any email address provided shall not be associated in any way with any domain hosted on our servers.

Bandwidth (traffic) and Web Space Allocations

1. Everyman Hosting Services monitors bandwidth and web space usage (disk space usage) of each account and each account has a predetermined amount of bandwidth and web space allowance each month. If either web space or bandwidth allocation is exceeded, the account concerned will be suspended, if bandwidth only is exceeded the account will be suspended until the end of that month. Notwithstanding this, it is our policy to attempt notify account holders who are nearing their allocation limits via email (so long as the client provides a valid email address in the "Update Contact Info" section of their control panel and have placed a tick against the selection on that page called "Send notifications to your contact email address when you are reaching your bandwidth usage limit."), thereby giving them the opportunity to choose an alternative plan which will accommodate their increase in allocation requirement or to make adjustment to their existing usage to prevent any necessary change prior to any inadvertent exceeding of their existing allocation.

Billing

1. Subscribers will be billed up to 21 days prior to the due date of any payment to be made for an account. Any payment which is not received on the due date will result in suspension of any service, and any payment which remains unpaid for 28 days after its due date may result in permanent removal of service for that account when all files relevant to the account may be deleted and the billing account cancelled and this may be done without further notice to the client or subscriber.

Any account cancelled in this manner can be restarted, but any discount which was applied prior to this cancellation will be null and void, and the subscriber or client will be liable at the prevailing rates at the time of restarting the account.

Usage of any service associated with any account and/or storage of any file(s) within any account constitutes usage, and whether or not there is any such usage recorded the client is liable for payment of the account at the rate and duration specified at the point of sale unless they have given clear notice to cancel via email, support ticket or by using the cancellation facility in their billing account prior to the renewal date of the account and have removed any and all files stored therein. Cancellations are executed at the end of the billing period active at the time of the cancellation request.

Any chargeback related to the subscriber's account constitutes an outstanding amount equal to the chargeback in the subscriber's account.

2. Payments can be made through Paypal, cheque (drawn on a British Bank Account) or sterling Postal Order from a British Postal Office. All payments are to be made in British Pounds Sterling. Everyman Hosting Services reserves the right to charge the subscriber for any charge we suffer in receiving their payment, and such right is used at our sole discretion.

Domain Ownership

1. Everyman Hosting Services retains the right to take or retain ownership of any domain that they have registered on behalf of any client for which full payment at the billed or stated amount has not been paid to Everyman Hosting when it is due (or any other amount is outstanding in the subscriber's billing account or due in line with these terms, and any such amount may not be due in direct reference to the registration/renewal/transfer of any such domain alone but is in excess of the cost of registration/renewal/transfer of the domain), this may also be applied to any domain that has been automatically renewed on behalf of the client. Such ownership is limited to the period of registration that has not been paid for by the client.

2. Payments made for domain registration are not refundable - clients are strongly urged to ensure that they have spelt and submitted the domain name that they require registered correctly during the order process.
