1.2 All ongoing charges will be paid by us for as long as you are using our
services.
1.3 Domain name redirection, email forwarding and email POP3 accounts will

PART B. WEBSITE HOSTING
2. Website hosting
2.1 Our web hosting facilities are contracted to third party suppliers but
the terms and conditions of our contract require us to be the sole point
of contact for such service.
2.2 Your website is not subject to normal disk space and traffic quota, although
this will be reviewed if these become excessive.
2.3 Your website will be hosted on our contracted third party computer
facilities. We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that sufficient capacity
is maintained on our third party computer facilities to enable users to access
your website. However, because we do not own or control all the facilities
and communication lines necessary for access, we cannot guarantee that access
will be uninterrupted or error free.
2.4 Because of that lack of control, we do not warrant that you or your users
will have continuous access to that website.
2.5 We may require access to your domain name username and passwords and
shopping cart accounts and will keep all passwords confidential.
2.6 All ongoing charges will be paid by us for as long as you are using our
services.

protected web pages and other services will be set up as required.

as required to develop the website.
3.2 An outside contractor may be suggested to design the web page layout
and examples and pricing will be discussed if required.
3.3 A pre-release site will be provided to you for review and approval. The
final approval of the site will be your responsibility and you will be subject
to the indemnity contained in clause 6.2.
3.4 Once the site has been approved by you it will be submitted for "go live"
to our third party web hoster subject to Part D.

occur. If you do not agree to the variation of the agreement, you must notify
us in writing within 10 days of receiving that notice. When we receive that
notice, unless agreed by us, your right to use the relevant Services will

for the purposes of ascertaining your creditworthiness.
