  1. Accessing our hosting services

Access to our hosting services is permitted on a temporary basis, and we reserve the right to withdraw or amend the services we provide without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason our hosting is unavailable at any time or for any period.

  1. Our liability 

We do not monitor and will not have any liability for your material, website security, payment data or any other communication you transmit by virtue of the Hosting Services.

Due to the public nature of the Internet, we shall not be liable for the protection or the privacy of electronic mail, customer data, payment data or any other information transferred through the Internet by any means or via any network provider.

No guarantee or representation is given that the Hosting Services will be free from security incidents or unauthorised users.

All conditions, terms, representations and warranties that are not expressly set out in these terms and conditions (or the documents referred to in them) are hereby expressly excluded.

We will not be responsible for the following types of losses (in each case whether direct, indirect or consequential) and whether they are caused by our negligence or otherwise:

  • loss of income or revenue.
  • loss of business.
  • loss of profits or contracts.
  • loss of anticipated savings.
  • loss of goodwill.
  • loss of software or data.
  • wasted expenditure (such as pay per click advertising costs).
  • wasted management or office time.

Subject to these terms and conditions, our maximum aggregate liability under or in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of the Contract, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, shall in no circumstances exceed 100% of the price you have paid to us for the Services during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the liability in question.

You are advised to acquire business interruption insurance, or other appropriate insurance, to protect you and your business in the event of interruption of the Services (in particular the Hosting Service.)

You are advised to obtain independent ASV scanning to monitor for security vulnerabilities such as malware attacks and other breaches.

Viruses, hacking and other offences:

  • You must not misuse our hosting services by knowingly introducing viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs or other material which is malicious or technologically harmful. You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to our hosting services, the server on which your site is stored or any server, computer or database connected to our hosting services or used to provide our services. You must not attack our site via a denial-of-service attack or a distributed denial-of-service attack.
  • By breaching this provision, you would commit a criminal offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. We will report any such breach to the relevant law enforcement authorities and we will co-operate with those authorities by disclosing your identity to them. In the event of such a breach, your right to use our site will cease immediately.

We will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by any denial-of-service attack, viruses or other technologically harmful material that may infect your computer equipment, computer programs, data or other proprietary material due to your use of our hosting services or to your downloading of any material posted on it, or on any website linked to it.

  1. Default

Accounts unpaid thirty (30) days after the date of invoice will be considered in default. If the Client in default maintains any information or files on WiserWeb Limited’s Web Hosting, WiserWeb Ltd will, at its discretion, remove all such material from its web space. WiserWeb Ltd is not responsible for any loss of data incurred due to the removal of the service. Removal of such material does not relieve the Client of the obligation to pay any outstanding charges assessed to the Client’s account. Cheques returned for insufficient funds will be assessed a return charge of £25 and the Client’s account will immediately be considered to be in default until full payment is received. Clients with accounts in default agree to pay WiserWeb Ltd reasonable expenses, including legal fees and costs for collection by third-party agencies, incurred by WiserWeb Ltd in enforcing these Terms and Conditions.

  1. Renewal & Termination

Termination of services by the Client must be requested by a written notice. E-mail or telephone requests for termination of services will not be honoured until and unless confirmed in writing. Cancellation of hosting may not be made within the first 12 months of commencement of service. In the absence of a cancellation request from you, your hosting service will be renewed for a successive term, at the regular renewal rate, upon expiry. After the expiry of the initial 12-month period you may cancel your hosting service by giving us 90 days notice prior to the next renewal date. Should you wish to transfer a site built by us, you may do so. A transfer fee will be payable depending upon the site’s size and complexity. We are happy to provide a quotation upon request.

  1. Indemnity

All WiserWeb Ltd services may be used for lawful purposes only. You agree to indemnify and hold WiserWeb Ltd harmless from any claims resulting from your use of our service that damages you or any other party.

  1. General

These Terms and Conditions supersede all previous representations, understandings or agreements. The Client’s signature below or payment of an advance fee constitutes agreement to and acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. Payment online is an acceptance of our terms and conditions.

  1. Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by English Law.

  1. Severability

In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired and the Agreement shall not be void for this reason alone. Such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable valid, legal and enforceable provision, which comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid provision.
