PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. THESE DO NOT AFFECT YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS UNDER Internet LAW.
SERVICE OBLIGATION:
Cyber-Net Services will use reasonable endeavours to ensure a prompt and continuing service as described in the specification (“the Service”) but will not be liable for any loss of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries, or service interruptions caused by circumstances beyond the direct control of Cyber-Net Services, or by errors or omissions of the Customer. Cyber-Net Services specifically excludes any condition of warranty as to the accuracy of third party information received through the Service.
Cyber-Net Services will not be held liable for indirect, economic or consequential loss whatsoever.
The liability of Cyber-Net Services in contract or in connection with the supply of the Service shall be limited in respect of any one event or a series of two or more connected events to the value of the domain name(s).
Breach of Terms and Conditions by customers shall lead to termination of Service with no entitlement to refund.
All fees paid are non-refundable and once registered domain names cannot be changed in their name or extension without the costs due in the registration of a new name with the appropriate registry costs.
CONTRACT OF SERVICE:
All domain names registered via Cyber-Net Services are done so under the clients name – this means that the domain names are legally owned by respective owners under the control of Cyber-Net Services unless otherwise stated.
The web hosting is invoiced and renewed on an annual basis.
The contract period shall be for the whole term of fees paid by the Customer until the expiry of the valid domain name period usually one years from the date of registration. 14 days notice of cancellation must be received in writing, prior to the renewal date of a domain name or any other products.
Cyber-Net Services may elect to suspend or terminate the Service immediately on any default of payment by the Customer.
From time to time parts of the Cyber-Net Services network may be taken off-line for repair or routine maintenance. Cyber-Net Services will endeavour to give as much notice as possible but will not be held liable for any unscheduled downfall in the Network due to extraneous conditions including but not limited to Act of God, inclement weather, act of telephone or Governmental organisations or power failure.
PAYMENT TERMS:
If part payment of a website has been agreed i.e. half website cost upfront and half on completion of website, this is on the condition that the artwork pack is completed and returned within 60 days. As all website packages are paid for in full by ourselves when the domain name is registered and therefore costs have been incurred, if the artwork pack has not been returned within 60 days, the remainder of the money owed will be taken.

The Customer shall acknowledge that he/she will only use the Service for lawful purposes. The Customer shall not use the Service to receive or transmit material which is in violation of any law or regulation, which is obscene, threatening, menacing, offensive, defamatory, in breach of confidence, in breach of any intellectual property (including any trade mark or Copyright).
