The subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless IJL Web Solutions from any claims resulting from the use of the service which damages the subscriber or any other party.

Prohibited Content (Adult, Illegal Activity)

IJL Web Solutions does not allow adult “xxx” related websites, pornography and sex-related content on its servers. Nor do we allow adult subscription or membership based “pay sites”. This includes sexual content, or links to adult content hosted elsewhere. This is also true for sites that promote any illegal activity or content that may be damaging to our servers or any other server on the internet. Links to such material are also prohibited. IJL Web Solutions will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision. Educational adult websites and adult e-commerce stores are allowed but we recommend to check with IJL Web Solutions before signing up as to whether we’d be prepared to host or develop a site of this nature.

Intellectual Property Rights

Material accessible to you through IJL Web Solutions’s services may be subject to protection under UK copyright laws, or laws protecting trademarks, trade secrets or proprietary information. Except when expressly permitted by the owner of such rights, you must not use the IJL Web Solutions service in a manner that would infringe, violate, dilute or misappropriate any such rights, with respect to any material, which you access or receive through the IJL Web Solutions network. If you use a domain name in connection with the IJL Web Solutions service or similar service, you must not use that domain name in violation of any trademark, service mark, or similar rights of any third party.

SpamExperts Spam Filtering Limits

Some domain names may receive such a high volume of spam email that it will not be possible for us to provide SpamExperts filtering service to them, due to the extreme usage. While SpamExperts is a dedicated system for handling huge volumes of spam it does have limits. Should the amount of spam or number of mailboxes in use on a domain break what IJL Web Solutions believes to be realistic limit thresholds for your hosting package then we will inform you that SpamExperts services will not be continued for your domain or an upgrade of package may be suggested. SpamAssassin will be supplied in replacement to SpamExperts.

Scripting, Applications and Background-running Programs

We do not allow background-running programs. This includes any IRC related software such as bouncers and bots. We provide a hosting service not a shell service. You are not allowed to compile and run software on our hosting servers. You are free to use any scripts (such as php, cgi or perl) you wish provided they do not affect the normal operations of the server. We do allow you to have remote MySQL users if requested. The user must have a fixed, non changing, IP address for us to grant access to. You can request a remote MySQL user if required.

IJL Web Solutions is not liable for expiry or loss of your domain name. Before a domain expires you may be reminded to renew your domain by email to the address we hold on file for you. On the date a domain expires it will be deactivated by the registry, and no longer display your website. Once a domain is deactivated and expired you will have 30 days to contact us to renew the domain name at our regular renewal rates.

Redemption Period – After 30 days have passed since the expiry date of your domain, the domain is placed in its “redemption period” and to renew the domain at this stage will cost $250 USD (approx £179 GBP) +VAT. This is a cost charged by the registry and passed on to you by us. Redemption periods last between 30 and 60 days, and then the domain is released to the public so anyone can re-register your domain and you will lose it.

Domain Transfers

Any domain name registered by IJL Web Solutions is yours to keep. You can transfer your domain name to a different registrar at any time once the domain is 90 days old. Newly registered domains do have a 90 day waiting period where they cannot be transferred from IJL Web Solutions to a different registrar. The same 90 day ‘no transfer’ window applies when an expired domain is renewed or restored after being in the registry redemption period. Once 90 days have passed from renewing such domains they are then free to be transferred again. There is no fee for transferring out a domain.

Free Domain Offer

IJL Web Solutions sometimes offers 1 free UK domain with each hosting. The domain is registered in your name on confirmation of payment for the hosting package. You are free to transfer out the domain at any time. The free domain offer is valid “for life”, ie as long as you renew the hosting package on which the free domain offer was based, there will never be a fee for the domain itself.
