Product Ranges:
supplied by dpbuk must not, under any circumstances be used to populate websites
with the intention of the websites being resold, or given away. If it is found
that our ranges, or supplier ranges are used in this way, immediate termination
of the customer's services will follow, and action taken. Additionally, Dpbuk do
not permit our product feeds to be used on any other servers/websites, other
than the websites/servers owned by dpbuk.
Back Ups
It is the
customer's responsibility to ensure back ups are taken on their websites.
Although the websites, and servers are backed up. It is still the responsibility
of the customer to ensure they create their own back ups as often as they
require. dpbuk will, under no circumstances be held liable for lost information,
including any website files or images, or customer databases.
Software Security and Updates
Please note, as a
continuation of software security, and server updates, dpbuk will periodically
update website and software files to ensure maximum protection to our customers
and their hosting environment. Such updates will be available via customer's
administration area. When updates are installed, then this will revert the files
and scripting back to their original, and installed condition. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that they understand that any amended
files, scripting and content may be removed when updating their software, and
that customers must also make a back up of all amended content, and files, and
subsequently reinstall such scripting, and content once the updates have taken
place, at their own discretion.
Dpbuk will not be
responsible for reinserting, or re-scripting bespoke amendments that the
customer has decided to implement against the original security files. Customers
deciding not to upgrade, will forfeit their right to website and hosting support
under this section of the terms and conditions. dpbuk will, and must be in a
position to be able to provide continuation of security for website hosting
customers.
Product Feeds
Customers
purchasing websites that contain populated xml feeds, are understanding that
feeds, by nature, are to be run to a strict and pre-created format, meaning if
the website is altered on the product side, then when the feed is next run, the
original feed structure will overwrite any changes made by the customer on the
products that the company supply the feeds for.
Images and
feeds
Periodically,
dpbuk will need to flush out the /images folder from all xml populated websites,
and therefore customers are understanding that if they wish to add their own
product ranges, then the /images folder is not to be used to contain such
images, as when dpbuk runs our script to flush images, ALL images will be
removed. This is to ensure fresh content and to remove old images not being
used, to maintain a streamlined service. dpbuk cannot be held responsible for
missing or lost images resulting in the periodic flushing of images that we
supply, when used with the /images folder.
Adult
Content Websites
For customers choosing to
purchase the adult website business. It is the customer's responsibility to
ensure that their payment merchant will accept payments for products of an adult
nature. Although this is not generally a problem with Paypal, there are some
products that Paypal will not accept payment for when promoting adult products.
It is the responsibility of the customer to fully research their chosen
merchant, as refunds cannot be made after purchase.
Lingerie Content Websites
For customers choosing a
lingerie website, please note, that due to manufacturers restrictions, some
lingerie products maybe not be available for sale on auction websites. Customers
choosing the Lingerie Website Option will be doing so for website sales only. It
is the responsibility of the customer ensure this is understood before the
purchase of a Lingerie Website Business.
Software/Templates/Images/Server Upgrades
From time to
time, the software which runs the servers we allocate, including the PHP
language becomes redundant, and future (including, but not limited to PHP
security patches) security patches become unavailable. This can, and does render
the software, and whole server unsecured. When this situation arises, dpbuk
reserves the right to charge a disclosed fee for the complete migration,
including all data, and databases, into a new, and secured server, that contain
the mentioned security patches, and their availability. Customers opting not to
agree to the required security updates, and migration, will be asked to
terminate the existing contract. Dpbuk must be in a position, where it can host
a customer's website in secure surroundings; and without receiving required
updates, which will be beyond dpbuk's control, then the 'software/Server
Upgrades' condition, will be immediately brought into effect. Customers are
agreeing to these conditions before any transaction, or website installation
takes place.
dpbuk ("The Company") agrees to furnish services to the Customer, subject to the
following TOS (Terms of Service).
Use of dpbuk's Service constitutes acceptance and agreement to dpbuk's AUP as
well as dpbuk's TOS (Terms of Service).
All provisions of this contract are subject to the TOS (Terms of Service) of
dpbuk and AUP (Acceptable Use Policy). The AUP may be changed from time to time
at the discretion of the Company. Customer understands that change to the AUP by
the Company shall not be grounds for early contract termination or non-payment.
Performance : dpbuk agrees to provide and the customer agrees to purchase the
services requested by customer from the website, in email or in writing.
Customer may add services via any of the 3 methods and agrees to pay in advance
for them whether they be 1 time charges or recurring monthly fees.
Changes : No changes to this agreement shall be binding except those in writing
counter - executed by both parties. Deviations in pricing shall be agreed to in
writing. Email confirmed by both parties shall suffice.
Invoices, Payment : dpbuk will invoice Customer for Fees and Expenses monthly;
provided, however, that dpbuk may invoice Customer for Fees and Expenses
associated with Service(s) provided pursuant to a customer request immediately
upon dpbuk . s provision of such Service(s). Customer acknowledges that dpbuk
will invoice certain Service(s) (including without limitation telecommunications
services) in advance of the provision of such Service(s). Payment shall be due
immediately upon the invoice date for recurring monthly services whether or not
the customer has received an invoice or not. Invoices which remain unpaid seven
(7) days after receipt of same by Customer shall accrue interest at a rate of
two and a half percent (2.5%) per month (or at the maximum interest rate
otherwise allowed by law) until paid in full and service may be terminated for
non payment after 7 days at dpbuk option. Expenses shall be included on an
invoice only to the extent that the actual amount of Expenses is known to dpbuk
at the time the invoice is issued, and Expenses for which an actual amount is
not known to dpbuk at the time an invoice is issued may be included on
subsequent invoices. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, the
failure of dpbuk to include earned or incurred Fees or Expenses on a given
invoice shall not relieve Customer of its obligation to pay such Fees or
Expenses. Customer's obligation to pay Fees or Expenses shall survive the
termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. Please also note,
that the second monthly payment taken will be invoiced 7 days in advance, and
then each subsequent monthly payment will be around the same time and date every
month thereafter.
Renewal of services:
In order for dpbuk to ensure that there is a seamless renewal of all services,
including domain names and websites hosting, the first payment of the second
timescale of hosting, or domain will be invoiced 7 days in advance of the end of the contract. This is to ensure that all domain names are renewed in a
timely fashion and without interruption. Customers are accepting this
stipulation of terms when entering into this agreement. Taking this into
account, customers must still send in their recorded cancellation letter 1 month
in advance of the service expirations date should this option be chosen.
dpbuk cannot be held
responsible for the images provided on the website templates. Image licenses
change often, and therefore it is highly advisable that once your website is
installed, that you commission, and locate your own header images for the
templates you decide to use. dpbuk
use a third-party for initial website imagery, and as mentioned licenses for
images change, and therefore, we advise customers to select/purchase their own
images for their templates of choice.
dpbuk
will not be held responsible for any legal issues arising from images on
templates, should matters with image licences arise after installation. It is
the customer's responsibility to use licensed images for their template.
Demonstration
Websites/Prices: Demonstration websites/prices are exactly that, and prices
contained on such websites/promotional pages are for demonstration purposes
only, and not a reflection of wholesale prices obtained from dropshippers, or
wholesalers; as pricing can, and does change in the wholesale industry. The only
exception to this, is the example of pricing on the promotional pages, and
although correct at time of writing, cannot be a guaranteed indicator of profits
on individual items.
Security Interest : Customer grants dpbuk a blanket security interest in the
customer . s contract with their customers who are renting servers from them in
the dpbuk data centre in the event of non-payment by customer . customer agrees
that dpbuk may take these customer contracts direct without a tortuous
interference claim to protect the credit balance owed dpbuk by customer and full
ownership of the contracts shall transfer as well if balance is more than 60
days old.
Term : The term of this Agreement shall begin upon the date the server is
installed and made available to customer and shall be for 1 month or pre-agreed
time and shall renew for successive 1 month terms or pre-agreed time until

notice to the other Party, or (ii) the expiration or termination of all
Service(s) set forth in the Statement of Work and all Work Order(s).
Subscriptions:

monies associated with this will become due, until one months notice is given on
the cancellation of the website - by registered delivery in the form of a
letter. All associated subscriptions will then become the responsibility of the
customer to cancel. The cancellation of paypal subscriptions will NOT become the
responsibility of dpbuk. Any subscription payments received after a cancellation
period, will not be refunded. If we are required to cancel a subscription on a
customer's behalf, then as this takes a physical resource, this will be charged
at £15+VAT. If a subscription is cancelled during the first 12 months , or
second 12 months (if cancellation letter is not received), then any monthly
payments due will be invoiced and collected via our overdue accounts department.
Subscriptions 2:
Please also note, that as we are dealing with products which require renewals
within a certain timescale, websites and domain names, all customer
subscriptions, with paypal MUST be live, and not cancelled after a website has
been set up. If a subscription and website has been set up, and then cancelled,
then dpbuk have the right to terminate the website from our server space.
Customers are agreeing to this before commencing with their purchase, and under
this condition no refunds will be given.
Subscriptions 3:
It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that all payments, including
credit/debt card payments, and paypal subscriptions are active and live. When
changing credit card details on your paypal account, it is also up to the
responsibility of the customer to immediately contact dpbuk about setting up a
new subscription. If dpbuk receive notification of a subscription failure, then
the website concerned will be terminated inside 3 working days, should a contact
not be made from the customer, concerning setting up a repeat subscription. This
term also applies for credit cards. If no contact is made within 3 working days
of a credit card payment failure, then the customer website will be terminated
from our server space, and domain name left to expire.
In these circumstances, and due to the fact that a cancellation letter not being
