All accounts on our web servers are subject to the terms and conditions described in this document. Under the terms of this agreement, your placement of information on our servers is an acknowledgement that you have read, understand, and agree to the terms and conditions below. 1) The server your site is hosted on will remain the property of Need-space at all times. Your account will be a 'virtual server' account and accordingly each Need-space server is shared between users.

2) Need-space is the host, contact and service name for all users.

3a) If you intend to use your web space for any secure or confidential data, please email us to ensure we know of it's presence on our servers. You may not upload any material that violates or infringes on the copyright, intellectual property rights or trademark rights of any individual or organization. This also applies to linking directly to illegal files or other sites that offer any illegal material. Sound and video files that you own the rights to may be uploaded only after you are approved. Midi files are unrestricted; you do not need approval for them. Note: You may upload these materials if you first obtain written permission from the copyright or trademark owner and we will require a copy of this permission before uploading.

3b) The following cannot be held on our servers: " Pirated software " Hacker programs " Warez " Pornography or nudity of any kind " Copyrighted materials " ROMs " Emulators " Any links/affiliations to the above
If any of the above is found on your site/directory then it will be deleted and you will be emailed with a warning. If a repeat offence is made, your account will be disabled with no refund given. However, if the initial breach of terms is strong enough your account will be immediately terminated. Deliberately changing the extension of a file to hide its contents will not work; it will be considered an illegal file and will result in the immediate termination of your account. You may not publish any material that is grossly offensive to the general on-line community, including but not limited to, exploitation of children, blatant expressions of bigotry, hatred, harassment, defamation, invasion of privacy or excessive profanity (cursing). This includes material that defames, abuses, harasses or threatens any person or group. Files or directories or email user accounts may NOT contain profane or sexually suggestive names or expletives. We reserve the right to be the final judge as to what is or is not acceptable.

4) If we have to terminate your account for legal reasons or because we can no longer sustain our service, you will be refunded the full purchase price unless your account has been terminated for illegal use on your part.

5) Need-space will not be held responsible for the content of pages hosted under our service. We do not review page content before it is posted and do not verify, endorse, or otherwise take responsibility for the content of any user-created pages.

Users are solely responsible for all files contained in their own directory, and can be held legally liable for the contents of their Web site

Any action taken by you before such notification is at your risk. Domain names are registered on behalf of clients under our name and therefore remain our property; however you have the right to use your domain name for whatever you please as long as it complies with our terms.

PRIVACY POLICY

1) Need-space.co.uk is committed to safeguarding the privacy of it's users while providing the highest possible quality of service. We will only use the information that we collect about you lawfully (in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998). In order to fulfill your domain registration and account creation, we need to know certain personal information collected at time of order. It is our policy that this information is private and confidential. Accordingly, the personal information you provide to us is stored in a secure off-line location, and is accessible only by designated staff. It will be used only for the purposes for which you provide the information. We will not sell, rent or trade any personal information you provide to us. This information will also be used for any correspondence with users including support calls, emails and the support forum.

2) Our computers are not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information about our visitors. They recognize the home server of visitors, but not e-mail addresses. For example, we can tell which Internet Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information about our visitors that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our sites. In addition, our web sites track information about the visits to our web sites. For example, we compile statistics that show the daily number of visitors to our sites, the daily requests we receive for particular files on our web sites, and what countries those requests come from. These aggregated statistics are used internally to better provide services to the public, but again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information. During sign-up your computer's IP address will be recorded in case of credit card fraud on your part.

3) We will not pass any of your information to any third parties unless you have given prior permission to do so and we will email you periodically about new services and network news.

4) Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on-line in guestbooks, message boards, through email, in chat, by entering contests, posting a contact reference on your website, etc. - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information on-line that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages that are completely beyond our control and responsibility. Ultimately, members are solely responsible for their actions when on-line, and for keeping their passwords, and all other personal information private. This policy may change periodically and without notice, however you will be notified by email of any alterations.

This policy pertains to all Need-space packages.

Need-Space reserves the right to modify these conditions at any time.

Proceeding with your order will verify your acceptance of these conditions.
