Applicability

As long as there is no mutual agreement between parties made up in writing, the following articles are applicable for every offer, order or Agreement from or with EuroBestHosting.

General conditions of Customer and / or third parties are not binding for EuroBestHosting and are not applicable.

Offering and Accepting

All offers and price quotation done by or on behalf of EuroBestHosting are free of obligation, unless otherwise indicated by EuroBestHosting in writing or by electronic mail.

A quotation or offer from EuroBestHosting has a duration of 8 days, unless otherwise indicated.

Formation of an Agreement

An Agreement comes in to effect at the moment when an (on-line) order form and / or Agreement (for dedicated servers and co-location) has been completed and sent off by the Customer via e-mail / post / fax, and been accepted by EuroBestHosting.

It leaves parties free to confirm the commencement of an Agreement by other means.

Additions and amendments to an Agreement only have a legal grounding if specified in writing.

Scope, duration and termination

The Agreement comes in to effect on the date of the formation and has a duration of 1 year subject to another written agreement. The Agreement is always extended automatically by 12 months after the initial duration of the contract, whatever it is, has elapsed, unless at least one of the parties has indicated that they do not wish to extend the agreement at least 2 months prior to the end of the running 12 month period, in which case the Agreement ends on the date that the running 12 month term ends.

The sub 1 above means that the non-extension is only legally enforceable if the notice is given on time and in writing by registered delivery or by fax. By not respecting one or more of these conditions, the Agreement will be extended for a further 12 months, unless the other party agrees to accept the incorrect notice.
The Customer is not permitted to cancel the Agreement prematurely during the current contract period.

EuroBestHosting has the right to end the Agreement without having to serve a notice as proof of default, or requiring a legal intermediary, if the Customer is declared bankrupt, has applied for or received a moratorium of payment, or has lost the free control of its capabilities in any other way. This latter party will furthermore not be entitled to any compensation for damages.

EuroBestHosting has the right to end the Agreement with immediate effect and without a legal intermediary according to article 14 if:

The Customer makes improper use of the Internet;

The Customer spreads information that is not in accordance with (inter)national law;

The Customer spreads information that is not in accordance with the general accepted norms and values;

" The Customer spreads information that appears to discriminate against appearance, race, religion, gender, culture, origin or can be seen as harmful in any other way. The use of so-called adultpages/MP3/warez/webcams on our virtual servers is also not permitted.

The services offered by EuroBestHosting may only be used for purposes that are not against the Law, are of good moral, in line with public order, observe good Netiquette and are in accordance with the Agreement and these general conditions. Such purposes include, amongst other things but not exclusively, the following tradings and behaviours:

the use of racist slogans;
the incitement of revolt;

the access without permission to other computers on the Internet (= hacking), for which some security is breached and / or access is provided by a technical intervention with the use of false signals or a false key including when done using a false identity.

If the above tradings and behaviours are performed by the Customer then EuroBestHosting has the right to end the Agreement with immediate effect and without the need for a legal intermediary, and without the Customer having any right to compensation for damages.

Delivery and delivery time

Services are provided as soon as possible after the formation of the agreement and the delivery of data and promotional material, or at a later date to be agreed.

If the agreed time-scale is in danger of not being adhered to, this will be reported as early as possible. In cases beyond the control of EuroBestHosting the terms will be extended under the terms of that control. Excessive overstepping of the delivery time can be considered as a ground for the breaking of the Agreement.

A processing time of a few weeks can be expected when requesting and registering a domain, depending on the relevant NiC.

Authority

If the Agreement is broken beyond our control, it is understood that everything will be conducted within the law and jurisprudence, including, for example, the none or late delivery of a service by a EuroBestHosting deliverer.

EuroBestHosting is not tied to its Agreement obligations if fulfilling them is made temporarily or permanently impossible beyond its control. The Agreement can then be ended independently by either party.

Data / e-mail traffic

The data / e-mail traffic is unlimited with the understanding that one must be acceptable for the other in relation to the overall use of the average user and shall never use more than 2% of the processor capacity. If a website shows exceptional use then it will be removed and / or a surcharge for extreme use will be issued.
EuroBestHosting will let the client know of this extreme use and issues this in the form of a surcharge to be paid for extreme use of the data / e-mail traffic. If the owner of the website concerned does not agree to this, they will have the opportunity to take the website in question elsewhere until 12 hours after the time of the report, and so to remove it from the EuroBestHosting servers. If the client does not respond then EuroBestHosting is legally allowed to remove the website in question from its servers, with out giving any further notice. There can never be any appeal for damages, in whatever form, by the Customer, should this occur. EuroBestHosting has the right at all times to take the offending account off-line if it is hindering other users by using up too much bandwidth / data traffic / and or / processor capacity.

In the Agreement there can be provision made for unlimited data traffic on a website hosted by EuroBestHosting. In this case the conditions must be met that on this website there are no:

websites that offer multiple directories with unrelated information;
multiple hosts resolving on one IP number or domain name;
(websites with) file archives with amongst others, but not exclusively, the following file extensions: exe, tar, gz, mp3;
websites that offer downloads, that is to say sites on which more than 20% of their monthly data traffic consists of offered downloads;
websites that use up more than 2% on the server processor;
websites which have on-line shops with more than 2,500 articles;
websites with banners, graphics or c.g.i. scripts running on their website with the intention of being run on other websites.

If a Customer's website does not meet the conditions for unlimited data traffic a limit of 500 MB per month is set for the data traffic. Above that the actual supplement will be calculated per MB data traffic.

Payment conditions

The payment obligations of the Customer come in to effect on the day that the Agreement starts.

Payment needs to be made within 14 days from the date of invoice, in a way to be decided by EuroBestHosting in which the value is declared. The moment of payment is the moment at which the money is received by EuroBestHosting.

EuroBestHosting sends the Customer a quarterly or yearly invoice for the costs associated with the agreement. This invoice must be paid within 14 days by way of Paypal or bank transfer.

If the Customer is late with payments beyond the term of 14 days, then the Customer automatically becomes liable without further notice.

The interest on the owed amount will be calculated from the moment when the Customer is withdrawn until the moment that the full amount is settled.

Costs arising from a non or late payment of the invoice will be charged by EuroBestHosting alongside the owed amount and any interest it incurs for the legal and administrative collection costs, including costs for lawyers, bailiffs and debt collection agencies.

If the Customer is of the opinion that the charges are not right, the Customer can make EuroBestHosting aware of this within two weeks from the date of the charges. After receipt of this notice EuroBestHosting will investigate the invoiced amount.

The customer is withdrawn from the time the Customer is not able to pay the owed charges or when these payments have not been received by EuroBestHosting.

If the owed charges cannot be met by the Customer or are not received, EuroBestHosting will charge interest in accordance with the law, which will be owed from the moment at which the Customer is omitted until the time when it is collected.

Material produced by EuroBestHosting is and remains the property of EuroBestHosting.

Liability

EuroBestHosting will make efforts to honour the agreed provision of services to the best of its ability by practising good technical mastery, in accordance with EuroBestHosting agreeing to take the task on so the services can be expected in the agreed framework.

The obligation stated in term 1 implies an obligation for effort, because EuroBestHosting is dependent on the cooperation, services and deliverables of third parties in its activities, where EuroBestHosting can have no influence. EuroBestHosting consequently accepts no liability for any damages including those related to EuroBestHosting or the violation thereof regardless of whether the damages exist or become visible during the relationship with EuroBestHosting.

EuroBestHosting is only liable for damages which are a direct consequence of failure on the part of EuroBestHosting to respect its Agreement, if the damages could have been avoided with normal technical knowledge and experience, and taking normal attention and work practises in to consideration

The maximum amount for which EuroBestHosting is liable for damages which are a direct consequence of failure on the part of EuroBestHosting to respect its Agreement, is limited to the replacement compensation for damages, that is to say charges to the value of the remaining fee. The liability of EuroBestHosting will never amount to more than Euro 500,000.00.

The maximum liability for EuroBestHosting for business and / or personal damages will in no case amount to more than Euro 1,250,000.00 per case.

Every liability of EuroBestHosting in any form other than damages is ruled out, including additional compensation for damages in whatever form, charges for indirect damages or consequential damage or damages as a result of deferred turnover or profit, missed savings and / or damages as a result of company stagnation.

The maximums stated in terms 4 and 5 are no longer applicable if the damages are a consequence of intentional or gross misconduct on the part of EuroBestHosting.

The liability of EuroBestHosting arising from accountable shortcoming in the honouring of the Agreement only exists if the Customer immediately and correctly brings it to attention in writing, reporting a reasonable term for the correction of the shortcoming and also if EuroBestHosting continues to fall short of its obligations after that term has elapsed. The notice must have as detailed a description as possible of the shortcoming, so that EuroBestHosting is in an adequate position to react.

A condition for the existence of any compensation for damages is always that the Customer reports the damages as soon as possible after their appearance in writing to EuroBestHosting.

The Customer is responsible for making the relevant details correctly and completely available to EuroBestHosting. EuroBestHosting accepts no liability for damages caused by the incompleteness or incorrectness of any information supplied to them by the Customer. EuroBestHosting always adheres to the Data Protection Act for its obligations concerning personal details supplied to EuroBestHosting by the Customer.

The Customer safeguards EuroBestHosting from any claims of compensation for damages that third parties might make as a result of the in any way unlawful or irresponsible use of the products and services delivered by EuroBestHosting by the Customer.

Because there are a large number of connection points with human intervention on the Internet, and because of the use of local networks and wireless communication, the fact that the sending and receiving of information on the internet is fairly accessible must be taken in to consideration. EuroBestHosting therefore accepts no liability for damages in any form caused by the sending and receiving of confidential or secret information. EuroBestHosting is not liable for the security or misuse by third parties of details that are recorded.

EuroBestHosting is not responsible or liable for the content of promotional material delivered by the Customer.

The Customer is liable for all damages that EuroBestHosting might incur as a result of a shortcoming on the part of the Customer with regard to honouring the Agreement and / or arising from not honouring its obligations, such as described in article 9 of these conditions.

EuroBestHosting accepts no responsibility for faulty software developed by third parties.

In the case of the placing of an own server in the EuroBestHosting network (co-location) by the Customer, EuroBestHosting is no way liable for any possible malfunctions in the hardware of the co-located server, unless the server was bought from EuroBestHosting.

Transfer of rights and obligations

The parties are not allowed to transfer the rights and duties arising from an Agreement to a third party without previous written consent of the other party.

Decommissioning

EuroBestHosting has the right to take delivered products and services out of use and / or to limit their use if the Customer does not honour its Agreement obligations according to EuroBestHosting or trades in conflict with article 5, article 8, article 9 and / or article 13 of these general conditions. EuroBestHosting will give the Customer advance notice of this, unless that cannot reasonably be expected from EuroBestHosting. The obligation to pay the amounts due remains during decommissioning.

EuroBestHosting accepts no liability arising from the decommissioning as intended in term 1 of this article.

Commissioning will occur when the Customer honours their obligations within the terms set by EuroBestHosting and has paid the charge of Euro 25.00 (excl. VAT) for re-commissioning.

Advertising

The Customer is required to complain about any perceptible defects in writing at most 8 days after delivery, failure to do so will result in all claims against EuroBestHosting becoming invalid.

Complaints concerning invisible defects are required to be made in writing by means of registered delivery within 8 days of the defect appearing, possibly having appeared or believing to have appeared. If this does not happen and claim against EuroBestHosting becomes invalid.

If the complaint has grounds the delivered products or services will be adjusted, replaced or compensated for.

Complaints do not affect the Customer's obligation to meet its obligations.

Upgrading / Downgrading hosting packages

Upgrading of virtual hosting packages is possible at any time. Interim downgrading of virtual hosting packages is not possible. Downgrading is only possible on the date of contract extension. The Customer is required to give notice of this to EuroBestHosting at least 2 months prior to the end of the current contract.

Disputes and applicable law etc.

The judge in the location of EuroBestHosting is authorized to take on a dispute except when involved in other dispute settlements, as long as no other over-riding law prevents it. Nonetheless EuroBestHosting has the right to present the dispute to the judge in accordance with the Law.

Parties will only seek legal advise after they have first tried to resolve a dispute in mutual discussions.

Every Agreement between EuroBestHosting and a Customer is subject to English Law.

These conditions have been deposited at the Registry of the Dublin Courts. The latest deposited version is always applicable. In the case of there being conflicts between the Agreement, General Conditions and / or addendums, the order of precedence is the Agreement first, any addendums second and finally these General Conditions.

EuroBestHosting has the right to change the General Conditions and EuroBestHosting is furthermore entitled to make the changed General Conditions applicable to existing Agreements. The Customer distances itself from any right to refuse such changes in advance and to keep the valid General Conditions applicable.

In the case of any condition in these General Conditions becoming invalid or invalidated, the other conditions in these General Conditions remain enforceable. The Customer and EuroBestHosting will attempt to reach a new agreement to replace the invalid and / or invalidated condition, where the objective and the purpose of the invalid and / or invalidated condition will be to taken in to consideration as much as possible.

It cannot be expected that EuroBestHosting makes all the conditions, Legal or general or of another sort, that are valid at that moment for the use of a Network that directly and / or indirectly linked to the EuroBestHosting network. The Customer will keep to these conditions and will safeguard and compensate EuroBestHosting for every claim that comes as a result of not respecting the conditions.
