Compliance with UK Law
It is an offence under UK law to transmit, receive or store certain types of files.
Customers may not use our services to engage in activities, or store, transfer or receive material of an indecent, offensive or otherwise illegal nature. Any such activities may result in prosecution by the UK authorities under the relevant Criminal Acts including but not limited to the Computer Misuse Act 1990, the Protection of Children Act 1978, the Criminal Justice Act 1988 and the Prevention of Harassment Act 1997.
It is also a criminal offence under UK law to knowingly infringe intellectual property rights, such as copyright, patents, database rights and registered trade marks. Customers are reminded that sharing copyright material through the use of peer to peer software may consequently constitute a criminal offence if done without permission of the right owner in question. B2B Internet Solutions will co-operate with any agency or rights holder wishing to assert their rights in these matters and B2B Internet Solutions reserve the right to withdraw service under such circumstances.
The Data Protection Act 1998 imposes numerous duties on any organisation that processes personal data relating to third parties. Failure to comply with many of these duties constitutes a criminal offence. Customers who are not merely processing personal data for domestic (including recreational) reasons are reminded of their likely duty to register with the Information Commissioner.
Under the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002, B2B Internet Solutions is in general not liable to any criminal or pecuniary penalty for any unlawful acts carried out using our service unless we have actual knowledge of those unlawful acts. Accordingly, if we become aware of credible evidence that a customer has carried out any unlawful acts we will take preventative measures to bring those acts to an end.
Compliance with foreign law
The Internet is global in reach. Consequently it is possible for anyone using the internet to break the laws of foreign countries. Customers are therefore advised to take all reasonable steps to avoid breaching relevant foreign laws.
Warranties and Disclaimers
Our service warranties and the extent of our liability are explained fully in our Terms and Conditions.
By connecting to the B2B Internet Solutions network, Customers agree to hold B2B Internet Solutions harmless in the event of any legal claim regarding our services.
Irresponsible usage
Customer acknowledges that they have a responsibility to ensure that their connection is not used in an irresponsible manner. B2B Internet Solutions deem irresponsible use of the services to include, but not be limited to, sending unsolicited e-mail ("spamming"), attempting to breach the security of a 3rd party machine, and flooding Usenet by placing a single post in a large number of newsgroups.
In the event that a customer's services are used for any purpose that B2B Internet Solutions deem irresponsible then B2B Internet Solutions reserve the right to suspend service while the usage is investigated in consultation with the customer. Should investigation determine that the service has been used irresponsibly, B2B Internet Solutions reserve the right to terminate the customer's account with immediate effect. Wherever possible the customer will be notified in advance of any termination.
Security and privacy
Login names and passwords must be kept secret and not be communicated to any third party. B2B Internet Solutions must be notified immediately if they are compromised. If a customer forgets or loses their password, they will need to contact support to have it changed.
Customers are responsible for all traffic that is sent from their server. It is therefore the customer's responsibility to ensure that all software is virus-free and up-to-date with all relevant security patches. In particular, server software running on public-facing ports, such as mail servers and proxy servers, must not be remotely exploitable.
If B2B Internet Solutions find malicious traffic emanating from a customer's server, B2B Internet Solutions have an obligation to our other customers and peering networks to take urgent measures to block that traffic. In many cases, this can be achieved by selective port blocking, but in other cases, this will involve disconnecting and suspending the account until the issue has been resolved. B2B Internet Solutions understand that in many cases a customer may not be responsible for or aware of the problem, and therefore B2B Internet Solutions will work with the customer to resolve the issue as efficiently as possible to restore normal service.
Customers may not use B2B Internet Solutions services to send unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE, also known as 'Spam'). B2B Internet Solutions will block the mail services of any customer found to be sending such mail.
Customers may not have "open mail relays". B2B Internet Solutions will close the relay or connection of any customer found with an open mail relay.
Opt-in mailing lists are allowed, where it can be proved that subscribers did opt-in and that a suitable opt-out mechanism is available.
B2B Internet Solutions reserve the right to remove any mail older than 60 days from shared mail servers. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that mail is regularly collected and removed from B2B Internet Solutions's POP3 server. B2B Internet Solutions strongly advise against the use of the POP3 option to keep mail on the server. If a POP3 mailbox contains an excessive amount of mail, B2B Internet Solutions reserve the right to remove older mails from the mailbox to reduce its size.
If Clients have not logged into any mailbox provided by B2B Internet Solutions within a 6 month period this may result in the deletion of the mailbox.
Hosting (Shared)
