Website Hosting and Email Terms & Conditions
Summary
Strive offers website hosting and database hosting services through the use of third party providers and is subject to requirements set out in these terms and conditions and any other relevant terms and conditions, policies and notices which may be applicable to the supply of hosting services.
Below is a summary of the main points covered in these terms:
Whilst we and our suppliers will always endeavour to give you the best possible level of service, we cannot guarantee 100% availability of service.
Strive and our suppliers accept no responsibility for any losses caused through a loss of service.
Your service will be removed if you fail to pay in time or misuse the service.
Strive will not be liable for any costs to restore your service once it has been removed. Specifically, any websites with databases will require reprogramming once they have been removed from their original server.
Any work undertaken by Strive at the request of the Client will be charged at our standard rate of £75 per hour, including investigations regarding problems or loss of service that are not due to Strive or our suppliers. Strive should only be contacted after you and your IT professional/advisor have established that any problems are not due to you or your systems.
