4) Abuse

4.1) ProPraxis Web Management will upload and manage content and images supplied by the Client as part of the design process and, if applicable, as part of the ongoing website management. However we reserve the right to refuse to upload any content that we believe may be copyrighted, obscene, libelous, or otherwise contrary to civil or criminal law in the UK. The Client warrants the accuracy, truthfulness or reliability of any information they supply (including statements of opinion or advice) to the best of their ability, warrants that they are authorized to promote any information which they intend to be placed on their web pages, and agrees to indemnify ProPraxis Ltd. for any claims, legal proceedings or damages that are brought or threatened against ProPraxis Web Management relating to anything published on or relating to the Client’s website. ProPraxis Web Management will notify the Client of any such claims or proceedings and will keep the Client informed as to the progress of such claims or proceedings. The Client will be responsible for all and any consequences of information published on the developed website.

4.2) Depending on requirements, some parts of the Client’s website such as ‘blogs’, ‘Wikis’ and embedded media may be directly editable by the Client and their authorized parties. In these cases the Client is solely responsible for ensuring that this content does not breach any laws, and ProPraxis Ltd. will not be held responsible for any content so uploaded. Any Client found to be the source of reasonable complaints regarding Client-uploaded material to their web site will be suspended and investigated, and subject to action as detailed under Illegal Content. We will always notify customers and, where necessary, fully co-operate with the authorities. Where Clients are provided with email facilities through their account, we have a zero-tolerance policy against spam, and the sending of bulk, unsolicited email is prohibited at all times. If a claim under this clause is upheld the Client’s account will be terminated and removed, and no reimbursement will be made for any remaining period of the yearly Web Site Management package contract.

4.3) Where the Client has been given access to their website for certain specified services, such as email services, ‘blogs’, ‘Wikis’ and other client interactive environments, this will generally entail the Client accessing the machine where the website is hosted via a login and password.

Login names and passwords must be kept secret and not communicated to any third party, except for agencies working on the Client’s behalf. ProPraxis Web Management must be notified immediately if they are compromised.

4.4) Any attempt to breach the security of any machine is forbidden. Attempting to do so will result in immediate account termination, possible further legal action, and no reimbursement will be made for any remaining period of the yearly Web Site Management package contract. It should be noted that attempting to breach security may lead to prosecution under the Computer Misuse Act 1990 or any other relevant criminal legislation.

4.5) As part of the design process we may set up accounts for video/music hosting websites, such as ‘YouTube’ and ‘Vimeo’, on behalf of the Client, and embed videos/music uploaded by the Client in the hosted website, however the creation of said videos/music, as well as uploading them to any video/music hosting website, is the sole responsibility of the Client. Consequently all content of any embedded or created videos/music is the sole responsibility of the Client, and it is their responsibility to ensure that any videos/music comply both with the Terms & Conditions of the video/music hosting website and also with all relevant laws. Any issues arising between the Client and the video/music hosting websites shall not involve nor implicate ProPraxis Ltd. in whole or in part.

5.2) It is an offence under UK law to transmit, receive or store certain types of files.

Customers may not use our services to engage in activities, or store, transfer or receive material of an indecent, offensive or otherwise illegal nature.

5.3) It is a criminal offence under UK law to knowingly infringe intellectual property rights, such as copyright, patents, database rights and registered trademarks.

Customers who are not merely processing personal data for domestic (including recreational) reasons are reminded of their likely duty to register with the Information Commissioner.

5.5) Under the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002, ProPraxis Ltd. is in general not liable to any criminal or pecuniary penalty for any unlawful acts carried out using our service unless we have actual knowledge of those unlawful acts.

5.6) Any accounts found to be abusive, contain illegal content, or otherwise break our terms of service will be liable for immediate termination without reimbursement and if upheld removed.

5.7) The Internet is global in reach. Consequently it is possible for anyone using the internet to break the laws of foreign countries.

Further action with respect to these matters is the sole responsibility of the Client.

6) Adult Content

We do not normally create or host sites considered ‘adult’ in nature, including escort services, gambling and gaming, and retail of tobacco or liquor, and reserve the right to decline commissions in these areas.

7) Problems

ProPraxis Ltd. will aim to provide uninterrupted service, but the Client understands and agrees that from time to time problems may occur.

7.1) If the Client experiences a problem they must confirm their equipment and software applications are working correctly before contacting ProPraxis Web Management. If confirmed the Client can report the problem by contacting us on the supplied phone number during normal business hours or by email 24/7.

If the problem is reported outside normal working hours we will aim to contact you using the details we have on record within 4 working hours from the time the problem is reported to discuss. If we accept the problem we will log the problem on our system and provide a reference number and progress, keeping you updated.

If the problem is reported within our normal working hours we will aim to contact you using the details we have on record within 2 working hours from the time the problem is reported to discuss. If we accept the problem we will log the problem on our system and provide a reference number and progress, keeping you updated.

We will aim to resolve the problem within one working day from the date the problem is logged onto our system.

If the problem relates to content or links within the Client’s web site then this is most likely resolvable by us otherwise all other problems are likely to be due to a third party and we will have to liaise with that third party.

Resolution times to resolve any problems accepted by us are not guaranteed.

Normal business working hours are: 09:00 – 17:00 Monday to Friday excluding bank holidays.

7.2) For password resets we will follow additional procedures to protect client security.

As our solutions are tailored to the requirements of the individual client the password and security procedures may vary on a client to client basis, and will be confirmed before the site goes live.

It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that they have read and understand this.

8) Service Level Agreement

ProPraxis Web Management endeavours to meet the conditions set out in section 7 but does not offer any guarantees

ProPraxis Web Management has a policy of using third party Hosting suppliers that supply Hosting packages to support the offered Web Site Management packages with servers located within the United Kingdom and Europe. If this is not possible due to a bespoke package required by the Client or due to section 17.4 then we reserve the right to source a Hosting package from outside the UK and Europe.

ProPraxis Web Management has a policy of using third party software vendors that supply software to support the offered Web Site Management packages. If we are required to liaise with the software vendor(s) then we cannot guarantee resolution times but will keep the Client updated on progress.

9.2) The data provided on the enquiry will be used to make contact to discuss and progress to the order stage

9.3) Pro Forma Invoices for any orders will be sent to the Client using the email address provided as part of the enquiry.

It is your responsibility to ensure this email address is active and can receive emails from any email address on the ‘pxwm.co.uk’ domain.

Some domain names are priced above standard rate as a ‘premium’ domain, and are excluded from this offer. All other extensions are excluded from this offer and if required will be charged at a bespoke price for the required domains. Transfers are limited to existing domain names that are already registered to you. Some domain names may be restricted or unavailable to you or your business, and it is your responsibility to ensure that you may legally occupy the domain name chosen. The registration period is one year for all domain name extensions. All domain transfers include a 12-month registration extension with the exception of all .uk domain types which do not include any form of registration extension. The cost of renewals and additional domain registrations or transfers is detailed in the pricing section of our website.

10.2) ProPraxis Web Management will register, transfer and renew domain names in the Client’s name, however where ProPraxis Web Management is managing the Client’s website we generally need to be listed as a technical and administrative contact for the domain name(s). It remains the Client’s responsibility to ensure that correct details have been provided for domain registration.

11) Overuse

11.1) All accounts will be actively managed as per your Web Site Management package detailed in the price list. Bandwidth and Disk space usage will be monitored on a regular basis, dependant on the Web Site Management package. As a minimum all accounts will receive one notification to the Client’s email address we have on record when monthly bandwidth usage is nearing the account’s limit. This notification will provide you with options available to prevent overuse. Overuse will result in automatic account suspension unless a prior written agreement has been reached by both parties and sent to the Client’s email address we have on record. To unsuspend, contact us to discuss the options available. Additional bandwidth cover for the calendar monthly period can be purchased separately as per our pricing list, and will be applied when payment is received. We reserve the right to insist in an upgrade of a Web Site Management package in cases where the account repeatedly over uses resources on a monthly basis. If agreement cannot be reached we reserve the right to terminate the account without reimbursement.

11.2) If you believe your website may be susceptible to very high usage you must contact us to discuss this matter. If we believe your website may be susceptible to very high usage we will contact you in advance of any changes to discuss solutions to this.

14) Notification

We will give a minimum of 30 calendar days notification to any changes to the Terms & Conditions

16) Cancellation, refunds, termination and disputes

Cancellation notices for all Web Site Management packages must be given by the Client at a minimum of 30 calendar days in advance of the cancellation date. We will confirm this instruction with the Client using the contact details we have on record. The domain name remains the property of the Client and unless instructed by the Client the domain name will expire on the domain name expiry date. If the Client wishes to transfer the domain name we will assist in this transfer where applicable

Cancellation of Web Site Management packages within the one year contract term will entitle the Client to a refund for any remaining full calendar months as long as the Client has given 30 calendar days advanced notice, minus the full years cost of any third party software/licences and SSL certificates and domain names detailed in section 10.1.

The up-front payment to commence design work and the cost coverage of any third party software and/or domain names is non-refundable as this payment is part of our service fees and does not constitute a deposit.

Any valid refunds will be paid to the Client within 30 days of the agreement to refund.

The Web Site design can include software packages supplied by third parties.

If any third parties used by ProPraxis Web Management to supply their services are unable to continue to support ProPraxis Web Management then we will endeavour to continue offering our services by seeking alternative vendors. However this may result in ProPraxis Web Management either: Having to increase or decrease the service offering; increase or decrease our prices; or withdrawing a particular service. Any of the above could result in the Client suffering interrupted service which ProPraxis Web Management will endeavour to minimize.

Under these conditions the Client can invoke section 16.
