TERMS OF SERVICE
  1. General - Scope
    1. The following terms and conditions apply to all business relationships between the customer, following named also as "you" or "users", and Prometeus di Daniela Agro, following named as “us” or "Prometeus". The governing law is that which was valid when the contract was put into effect.
    2. Dissenting, conflicting or additional customer terms and conditions, even if acknowledged, are not part of the contract unless their validity is expressly agreed upon.
    3. The various top-level domains (“domain suffixes”) are administered by a multitude of different, mostly national, organisations.

      Each of these organisations allocating domains has different terms and conditions for registration and administration of top-level domains, their respective sub-level domains and the procedures for domain disputes. As far as domains concern the contract additional registrars terms and conditions apply.

  2. Conclusion of the contract
    1. Our offers are subject to change. We reserve the right to make technical and other changes within reason.
    2. Upon ordering, the customer is bound to the tentative offer. We will confirm the receipt of the customer's order immediately. The confirmation is not contractually binding. The confirmation and acceptance of the contract may be incorporated together.
    3. We are entitled to accept the offer of a contract (the order) within a period of 5 working days after receipt. We are also entitled to reject the order after examining the reliability of the customer.
  3. Scope of services
    1. As far as the subject of the contractual relationship is concerned regarding the registration of domain names, we conduct the procurement of the desired domain only. For the actual allocation of the domain name, the customer can only expect it if this is confirmed by us. We do not have any influence over the allocation of the domain. A liability and warranty for the actual allocation of ordered domain names is therefore excluded.
    2. We guarantee an annual average of 99% network availability for the infrastructure of our computer center. If the security of the power supply network or the maintenance of network integrity is in jeopardy, we can temporarily restrict access to the service as required.
    3. The services offered are those valid at the time of the order based on the offer information, the order form and the applicable monthly special offers.
    4. If the customer wishes to be registered with search engines (online search engines of Internet content), we are only responsible for mediation. The operators of the search engines are solely responsible for the date and time of the admission to the search engine.
    5. Technical limitations are regulated by the following Acceptable Use of Service:
      • Shared Hosting Packages are not to be used as a backup service. All stored files that reside on your account must be directly related to your web site. Archiving MP3, video, images or backups is prohibited on shared hosting packages. If you need these abilities we recommend that you upgrade to a dedicated server, iwStack or VPS service
      • The use of your account must be reasonable and you may not place excessive burdens on our servers. While our shared services are suitable for the bulk of our customers, there comes a time that your website(s)/application(s) are better suited for a different service, which allows for more dedicated CPU and memory resources. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to discontinue service to any customer with a website, application or other hosted data that uses a high amount of server resources (such as, but not limited to, CPU Time, Memory Usage, and Network Resources).
        At our election, you will be given an option of either upgrading the service level or reducing the resource usage to an acceptable level, otherwise we reserve the right to limit your use of our servers or take your site offline. Due to the severity of this, and our ability to act quickly to correct these situations to avoid server issues, we will do everything reasonably feasible to provide you with a warning prior to taking your site offline, but we accept no obligation to do so.
