The following terms and conditions apply to Keydata Solutions email Services.
1.1 Keydata Solutions Exchange Mail accounts include licensing for Outlook Client Software. The license fee is included in the monthly Keydata Solutions Service fee. Mailbox owners are permitted to install the software once on one PC for each Microsoft Exchange mailbox. Sharing of a single mailbox is not permitted unless additional licenses are purchased on a monthly basis for each user. If You cancel Your Keydata Solutions Exchange Mail account You are responsible for uninstalling any Outlook software that is licensed to You as part of the Keydata Solutions Service.
2.1 Each mailbox has a storage quota. This is in place to protect Your account and others from potentially large volumes of email sent to a single address that could materially affect the email system server. Additional storage can be purchased by Contacting us. It is the mailbox owner's responsibility to ensure that his/her mailbox does not reach its allocated level. Keydata Solutions cannot be responsible for email lost due to full mailboxes. You can check Your mailbox size from your webmail login at This Link.
3.1 Keydata Solutions monitors the server as a whole but does not monitor individual mailboxes. The Exchange server uses SMTP, a “store-and-forward” email protocol, to deliver outbound messages. This protocol does not guarantee immediate delivery of email messages. By default, the Exchange server makes a delivery attempt every ten minutes three times; after that the server will attempt message delivery every fifteen minutes. If there is no successful delivery attempt within twelve hours, a delay notification will be emailed to the sender. If there is no successful delivery attempt within two days, the message will be returned to the sender.

We do this through a combination of various network security policies, load balancing and redundant systems. We make every reasonable effort to ensure the integrity of data on Keydata Solutions systems.

We cannot guarantee to restore data and we accept no liability for the loss of any such data.
5.1 Each Exchange account is allotted an aggregated storage capacity initially equal to the total storage capacity of each mailbox. This storage capacity is shared among all mailboxes and public folders within Your account; the quota cannot be exceeded. For an additional fee, You may increase Your account storage capacity at any time by Contacting us.
6.1 In addition to the aggregate account storage capacity, each mailbox and public folder also has its own storage limit. When the storage capacity is reached on an individual mailbox or folder, the Exchange servers shall stop sending or receiving messages. Keydata Solutions is not responsible for Service unavailability or data loss caused by any mailbox or folder exceeding its storage capacity. To prevent such occurrences, You can manage mailbox and public folder storage limits at any time by Contacting us.
7.1 Fasthosts installs anti-virus software on its email servers for all Advanced and Exchange mailboxes. This software is configured to check messages coming into the email server. If a virus is detected, the message is deleted. No notification is sent to either recipient or sender of the message. Messages sent between mailboxes on the Keydata Solutions platform are not checked.
8.1 Keydata Solutions runs anti-SPAM software on its email servers for all Advanced and Exchange mailboxes. You can determine the levels of spam protection by Contacting us.

Such mail is checked daily; (ii) if a mailbox is not accessed for 60 days, either by POP or IMAP, all mail over 90 days old will be deleted automatically. This process will be repeated daily until the mailbox is accessed again; (iii) Root mailboxes that are not accessed for 90 days will have their quota reduced to 1MB automatically (with any existing mail over this new quota deleted). If the Root mailbox is accessed again, its quota will be increased back to the original allocation (Root mailboxes being Standard mailboxes). Note that after 90 days, the Root mailbox will have already undergone a cleanup after 60 days of inactivity. Keydata Solutions does not accept any responsibility whatsoever for any deleted mail.
The following terms and conditions apply to the Hosting service:
If charges relating to hosting (or any additional products associated with hosting) are outstanding for a period greater than 5 working days, your service will be suspended and furthermore, Keydata Solutions will refer the account to a debt collection agency and inform credit reference agencies. This may seriously affect your ability to obtain credit in the future. All hosting packages purchased after 25 February 2008 are subject to a 12 month minimum contract term.
At Keydata Solutions we aim to deliver the highest possible levels of up-time. If our internet connectivity fails to meet the 100% up-time guarantee for your server, then you'll be eligible to claim a refund of one day's service fee for every hour that your server is unavailable.

These proceedings will be conducted before one of the administrative-dispute-resolution service providers listed at http://www.icann.org/udrp/approved-providers.htm (each, a “Provider”).
4.1.1 Applicable Disputes. You are required to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding in the event that a third party (a “complainant”) asserts to the applicable Provider, in compliance with the Rules of Procedure, that (i) Your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or Service mark in which the complainant has rights; and (ii) You have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and (iii) Your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith. In the administrative proceeding, the complainant must prove that each of these three elements are present.
4.1.2 Evidence of Registration and Use in Bad Faith. For the purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(iii), the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be present, shall be evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad faith: (i) circumstances indicating that You have registered or You have acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of Your documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or (ii) You have registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that You have engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or (iii) You have registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or (iv) by using the domain name, You have intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to Your web site or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of Your web site or location or of a product or service on Your web site or location.
4.1.3 How to Demonstrate Your Rights to and Legitimate Interests in the Domain Name in Responding to a Complaint. When You receive a complaint, You should refer to Paragraph 5 of the Rules of Procedure in determining how Your response should be prepared. Any of the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be proved based on its evaluation of all evidence presented, shall demonstrate Your rights or legitimate interests to the domain name for purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(ii): (i) before any notice to You of the dispute, Your use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the domain name or a name corresponding to the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services; or (ii) You (as an individual, business, or other organisation) have been commonly known by the domain name, even if You have acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or (iii) You are making a legitimate non-commercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue.

This Administrative Panel may consolidate before it any or all such disputes in its sole discretion, provided that the disputes being consolidated are governed by this Policy or a later version of this Policy adopted by ICANN.
4.1.7 Fees. All fees charged by a Provider in connection with any dispute before an Administrative Panel pursuant to this Policy shall be paid by the complainant, except in cases where You elect to expand the Administrative Panel from one to three panelists as provided in Paragraph 5(b)(iv) of the Rules of Procedure, in which case all fees will be split evenly by You and the complainant.

4.1.10 Notification and Publication.

All decisions under this Policy will be published in full over the Internet, except when an Administrative Panel determines
in an exceptional case to redact portions of its decision.
4.1.11 Availability of Court Proceedings. The mandatory administrative proceeding requirements set forth in Paragraph 4 shall not prevent either You or the complainant from submitting the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction for independent resolution before such mandatory administrative proceeding is commenced or after such proceeding is concluded. If an Administrative Panel decides that Your domain name registration should be cancelled or transferred, we will wait ten (10) business days (as observed in the location of Keydata Solutions principal office) after we are informed by the applicable Provider of the Administrative Panel's decision before implementing that decision. We will then implement the decision unless we have received from You during that ten (10) business day period official documentation (such as a copy of a complaint, file-stamped by the clerk of the court) that You have commenced a lawsuit against the complainant in a jurisdiction to which the complainant has submitted under Paragraph 3(b)(xiii) of the Rules of Procedure. (In general, that jurisdiction is either the location of Keydata Solutions principal office or of Your address as shown in Keydata Solutions Whois database. See Paragraphs 1 and 3(b)(xiii) of the Rules of Procedure for details.) If we receive such documentation within the ten (10) business day period, we will not implement the Administrative Panel's decision, and we will take no further action, until we receive (i) evidence satisfactory to Keydata Solutions of a resolution between the parties; (ii) evidence satisfactory to Keydata Solutions that Your lawsuit has been dismissed or withdrawn; or (iii) a copy of an order from such court dismissing Your lawsuit or ordering that You do not have the right to continue to
use Your domain name.

In the event that we are named as a party in any such proceeding, we reserve the right to raise any and all defences deemed appropriate, and to take any other action necessary to defend ourselves.
7.1 We will not cancel, transfer, activate, deactivate, or otherwise change the status of any domain name registration under this Policy except as provided in Paragraph 3 above.
8.1 Transfers of a Domain Name to a New Holder. You may not transfer Your domain name registration to another holder (i) during a pending administrative proceeding brought pursuant to Paragraph 4 or for a period of fifteen (15) business days (as observed in the location of Keydata Solutions principal place of business) after such proceeding is concluded; or (ii) during a pending court proceeding or arbitration commenced regarding Your domain name unless the party to whom the domain name registration is being transferred agrees, in writing, to be bound by the decision of the court or arbitrator. We reserve the right to cancel any transfer of a domain name registration to another holder that is made in violation of this sub-paragraph.
8.2 Changing Registrars. You may not transfer Your domain name registration to another registrar during a pending administrative proceeding brought pursuant to Paragraph 4 or for a period of fifteen (15) business days (as observed in the location of Keydata Solutions principal place of business) after such proceeding is concluded. You may transfer administration of Your domain name registration to another registrar during a pending court action or arbitration, provided that the domain name You have registered with Keydata Solutions shall continue to be subject to the proceedings commenced against You in accordance with the terms of this Policy. In the event that You transfer a domain name registration to Keydata Solutions during the pendency of a court action or arbitration, such dispute shall remain subject to the domain name dispute policy of the registrar from which the domain name registration was transferred.
9.1 We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time with the permission of ICANN. We will post Keydata Solutions revised Policy here at least thirty (30) calendar days before it becomes effective. Unless this Policy has already been invoked by the submission of a complaint to a Provider, in which event the version of the Policy in effect at the time it was invoked will apply to You until the dispute is over, all such changes will be binding upon You with respect to any domain name registration dispute, whether the dispute arose before, on or after the effective date of Keydata Solutions change. In the event that You object to a change in this Policy, Your sole remedy is to cancel Your domain name registration with Keydata Solutions, provided that You will not be entitled to a refund of any fees You paid to Keydata Solutions. The revised Policy will apply to You until You cancel Your domain name registration.
