4.0 Supply of the Service
“Glenovation” is hereby known as the trading name of Glenovation Limited registered in Northern Ireland as a Limited Company registration number NI059078.

4.2 Glenovation may register a domain name using our contact details on behalf of a customer using our contact details. This however does not imply that the domain is ours. Full ownership is with the client and we may do this so that our spam filters absorb the spam email sent to the registered address avoiding nuisance contacts. Glenovation will always only ever act as an agent in the best interests of our customers in such circumstances and we will never own or claim ownership of a domain unless a client has not paid for that domain.
5.0 Internet Telecommunications / Broadband / Wi-Fi / Mobile Links
5.1 These are deemed to be outside the scope of this contract.

6.2 The Customer accepts that the principle contact of the contract may be added to Glenovation’s contact list for receipt of product/service information/marketing etc. from Glenovation unless they inform Glenovation in writing or via email that they do not wish to receive such material.
7.0 Mission Critical Business Operation
7.1 Glenovation suggests that customers do NOT change their business practices in such a way that they are completely dependent on the use of their web site or hosting service or email service as a crucial aspect of their business. The Internet is a “tool” and like any other “tool” is dependent on many factors to ensure it remains operational. Internet hosts do have interruptions of service and customers understand and accept full responsibility for any systems they use via their web site or email service.
9.0 Inappropriate Material
9.1 Glenovation reserves the right not to include in the website any words or images which it considers in its absolute discretion to be potentially libellous, illegal, offensive, racist, sexist, discriminatory or otherwise inappropriate for publication on the World Wide Web.
9.2 The customer undertakes to be fully insured against any liability for libellous or otherwise offensive material and to indemnify Glenovation in respect thereof.
9.3 The customer accepts that the website, once accepted by the customer, is its sole responsibility and that Glenovation is in no way responsible for the publication of the material therein.
10.0 General
10.1 These Conditions together with any terms set out in the Agreement (if any) between Glenovation and the Customer constitute the entire agreement between the parties, supersede any previous agreement or understanding and, may not be varied except in writing between the parties. All other terms and conditions, express or implied by statute or otherwise, are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
10.2 These Conditions shall remain in force for the term of the agreement between Glenovation and the Customer. Upon renewal of the agreement Glenovation reserves the right to update, alter or amend these Terms and Conditions of Service as it sees fit to comply with any statutory, legislative and/or technical changes or to enhance and improve the services it offers to its customers and the efficiency of said services and for expediency. Upon such changes being made the renewal notice sent to the Customer shall draw the Customer’s attention to the change(s) and the Customer shall then be entitled to decide whether to renew the Service on the new terms or exercise its right to terminate the Specified Service with Glenovation and continue on the existing terms until termination is effective.
10.3 Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party to the other under these Conditions shall be either (a) in writing addressed to the other party at its registered office or principal place of business or such other address as may at the relevant time have been notified pursuant to this section to the party giving the notice; or (b) by email to the last known email address of the other party, unless notified of a change of email address by that other party pursuant to this section.
10.4 No failure or delay by either party in exercising any of its rights under this Contract shall be deemed to be a waiver of that right, and no waiver by either party of any breach of the Contract by the other shall be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.
10.8 Security of Coding and Web Sites Developed by Glenovation All coding and websites developed by Glenovation at the time of development contain a reasonable amount of security to resist hacker and related security attacks and vulnerabilities. Glenovation will continue at no extra charge to the customer to make security enhancements to the coding and structure of the website for up to 12 months from the date that the web site went live on the Internet.
10.9 After 12 months the client will be responsible for any costs associated with requests by them to increase security of the coding on any website to prevent, reduce or eliminate risk of third party attack on the site.
10.10 In any event the client accepts full responsibility for any actual or perceived losses from any attack on their website at any period from the date the site goes live on the Internet.
10.11 Glenovation Hosting of (Old Glenovation) or Third Party Coding If a website developed by Glenovation is 13 months old or older or is coding not developed by Glenovation or if the coding has been changed by the client or their agents, the client will be responsible to pay a quoted price for investigation or development on any site of any works to be carried out on the site where the coding was not developed by Glenovation.
12.0 Email Services
The following terms and conditions apply to Glenovation email and web site hosting services.
12.1 Each mailbox has a storage quota. (standard mailboxes are 20MB but can be higher) This quota is in place to protect your account and others from potentially large volumes of email sent to a single address that could materially affect the email system server. Additional storage can be purchased from Glenovation. It is the mailbox owner's responsibility to ensure that his/her mailbox does not reach its allocated level of storage. Glenovation is not responsible for email lost due to full mailboxes.
12.3 It is the mailbox owner's responsibility to keep his/her password confidential, and to change the password on a regular basis. Glenovation is not responsible for any data losses or security issues due to stolen passwords. Glenovation recommends that you use passwords that contain numbers and symbols in order to prevent unauthorised users from guessing commonly used choices (i.e. "12345", "password", etc.). There may be a charge of £10 for replacing any lost passwords for individual mailboxes or control panel passwords.
13.0 Payments
13.1 Glenovation shall invoice the Customer on the working day the Customer has agreed acceptance of Domain and/ or hosting services. 13.2a All accounts are set up on a prepay basis. Although Glenovation reserves the right to change prices of accounts or services at any time, all pricing is guaranteed for the period of prepayment. Payment is due every 30 or 365 days, following the date the account was established. Customers will automatically be charged again at the end of their prepay period unless closure notification has already been given within 30 days of the invoice date or payment will be collected. 13.2b On the following 11th month a new invoice will be issued and it is the customers or resellers responsibility to ensure they either give us notice of cancellation at this time. If after the 12 months there has been no notice of cancellation then the client will be due for full payment.
13.3 All payments must be received within 30 calendar days from the invoicing date or services may be suspended. Domains may lapse and hosting and email services deleted. It is the customer responsibility if this happens.
14.0 Resellers
Resellers are bound by the same terms of payment. Glenovation will NOT accept the costs due to ineffective management of their customers records by resellers. Resellers should also use effective terms and conditions of service to protect themselves from risk.
15.0 Backup of Data
It is the customers responsibility to ensure that they backup ALL data used on Glenovation servers. From time to time there can be outages and rebooting of servers which may result in the loss of some or all data. It is vital that customers always keep a copy of any data they upload to Glenovation servers. You agree to indemnify Glenovation from all costs of actual or perceived losses of business from any data loss. Shared Server services are the responsibility of the customer to backup using the control panel associated with their domain. Not Glenovation.
16.0 Service Availability
Glenovation monitors the server as a whole but does not monitor individual mailboxes. “Advanced Mailboxes” uses SMTP, a "store and forward" email protocol, to deliver outbound messages. This protocol does not guarantee immediate delivery of email messages. By default, the mail server makes a delivery attempt every ten minutes three times; after that the server will attempt message delivery every fifteen minutes. If there is no successful delivery attempt within twelve hours, a delay notification may be emailed to the sender. If there is no successful delivery attempt within two days, the message may be returned to the sender.
17.0 Scheduled Maintenance
To guarantee optimal performance on the servers, it is necessary for Glenovation to perform routine maintenance. Such maintenance often requires taking Glenovation servers offline, typically performed during off peak hours. Glenovation will give you advance notice of maintenance requiring the servers to be taken offline whenever possible.
18.0 Mailbox Security
Glenovation makes reasonable efforts to ensure mailbox security at all times. We do this through a combination of various network security policies, load balancing and redundant systems. We make every reasonable effort to ensure the integrity of data on our systems. On the rare occasions where there may be a problem with specific mailbox data, it is the mailbox owners responsibility to notify us. We cannot guarantee to restore data and we accept no liability for the loss of any such data unless you have a special arrangement with Glenovation.
19.0 Mailbox and Public Folder Storage Capacity
Glenovation is not responsible for service unavailability or data loss caused by any mailbox or folder exceeding its storage capacity. To prevent such occurrences, you can manage mailbox and public folder storage limits at any time from within the control panel.
20.0 Antivirus Checking
20.1 It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that they have sufficient antivirus scanning and blocking services on their email service and local machines.
20.2 Anti Virus First Line of Defence Clients should note that the anti virus scanning service on the mail server for advanced mail boxes is designed as a first line of defence, and that clients must also ensure that they have a local anti virus policy on their network or pc or computer which is regularly updated with anti virus definitions from a recognised anti virus software provider.
21.0 Anti-Spam Message Filtering
22.0 Ownership of Data
All data created or stored by you within Glenovation’ applications and servers are your property. Glenovation shall allow access to such data by only authorised Glenovation personnel. Glenovation makes no claim of ownership of any web server content, email content, or any other type of data contained within the accountholder’s server space or within applications on Glenovation’ servers unless this is specifically agreed in advance in writing.
23.0 Use of Email Accounts
23.1 If Glenovation identifies a mailbox or domain that is causing problems; we will either remove the offending mailboxes or change their settings to resolve the issue. In extreme cases, we will disable email or suspend all services to the domain as appropriate. For details of what is not allowed by Glenovation and our spam/ illicit material policies please see the abuse section of our terms & conditions.
23.2 Email retrieval and timescale: Glenovation’s policy on maintaining stable data transfer levels includes a deletion process for email that has not been downloaded locally within 90 days of receipt. It is the mailbox owner's responsibility to ensure his/her received email is retrieved and saved locally where necessary to ensure that important correspondence is not lost. Glenovation cannot be held responsible for lost items.
23.5 Email Black Lists. “XBL etc” If your domain name or email service ends up on a black list, Glenovation may charge you £50 per hour to assist in resolving your blocked list enquiries. It is the clients responsibility to ensure that they do not end up on any black list by taking reasonable precautions in sending mail and related activities. The client accepts full responsibility for any actual or perceived losses because their domain ended up on a black list.
24.0 Server Use
Glenovation reserves the right to refuse service and/or access to its servers to anyone without prejudice. Glenovation does not allow any of the following content to be stored on its servers:
• Adult material includes all pornography, erotic images, or otherwise lewd or obscene content or anything that Glenovation deems adult material
• Religious Content
• Political Content
• Excessive download content or unlinked content.
• Refusal of service is without prejudice and is entirely at the discretion of Glenovation.
• Glenovation reserves the right to move your domain to a different web server with no previous notice for maintenance or other related operational reasons.
25.0 Technical Support

25.2 Please note we may require suspension of some of our services for short scheduled periods to carry out maintenance or repair to our services. Information concerning scheduled downtime is available on the Glenovation’s' website as are any interruptions to our services.
26.0 Reselling of Services
All accounts other than our Reseller accounts are to be used by the primary owner only, and Glenovation does not allow the holders to resell, store or give away free of charge or sublet web hosting services of their website to other parties without express written permission.
27.0 Unlimited Use Policy
High bandwidth usage: Glenovation offers an unlimited use policy by maintaining very large ratios of bandwidth per customer. In rare cases, Glenovation may find a customer to be using server resources to such an extent that he or she may jeopardise server performance and resources for other customers. In such instances, Glenovation reserves the right to impose the High Resource User Policy for the consideration of all customers. This is subject to “fair use.”
28.0 Audio and Video Streaming
Small (less than 3 MB) files can be downloaded from a standard web site. However if there is extremely high use on a web site then the site owner should contact Glenovation and discuss an audio/video streaming solution which is designed specifically for this kind of data distribution. You should upload your video via YouTube to avoid such instances.
29.0 Database Usage
If you exceed the limits on our database products (MySQL) then we will automatically charge you for the additional space you use at our current prices. For example if you have a 150MB database and 200MB is in use at any point during a month then we will charge for the extra 50MB in that month.
30.0 High Resource Use Policy
Resources are defined as bandwidth, processor utilisation or disk space. Glenovation may implement the following policy to its sole discretion: When a website is found to be monopolising the resources available Glenovation reserves the right to suspend that site immediately. This policy is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers. Customers may be offered an option whereby Glenovation continues hosting the website for an additional fee.
31.0 Uploads via Scripting Languages
Glenovation limit uploads made via scripting languages including PHP, ASP and ASP.NET to a maximum of 2 MB per file.

Reasonable care will be taken to maintain services but a clients failure to pay an outstanding balance may result in a domain name not being renewed which may also incur reconnection charges.
33.0 Cancellation and Refunds
Glenovation reserves the right to cancel the service at any time. In this event customers will be entitled to a pro rata refund based upon the remaining period of membership. If a customer contravenes Glenovation' terms of service a refund will not be issued in the event of a cancellation. Customers may cancel their account at any time without any refund. Any incentives offered to customers when opening the account will also be cancelled. Customers may be given the option to purchase services which were offered as start-up incentives in the result of a cancellation. Fees charged on a prepay basis are non-refundable. Once any initial trial period has expired customers are not entitled to receive a refund unless the service is cancelled by Glenovation. In addition some accounts incur setup fees, these charges are also non-refundable. Booking fees and staged payments are also non refundable.
33.1 Payments for domains, ssl certificates, web site and email hosting services renewals MUST be paid within 30 days of the date of invoice or your service WILL be suspended. It is the customers responsibility to note that if they do not pay for these services then they WILL have to pay a reconnection fee and may lose their service for the duration or longer.
