NetCells Terms and Conditions of Use
Use of our web sites, our products and services, either as a participant in our networks or a visitor, is taken as acceptance of these standard Terms and Conditions:
This agreement refers to products and services provided worldwide on Internet, since year 2004, by NetCells Ltd - private limited company based in London, UK, registered in England and Wales No. 5121546, VAT No. GB 645597887, further also referred to as 'We' or the 'Company'.
People who buy our products and contribute to our networks we now call 'Participants', other people using our Sites we call 'Visitors'.
Our actions are implemented on web servers - private and shared, further referred to as 'Servers', with main web site at ›https://netcells.net, further referred to as 'Site' where our Participants manage their data - to be published - or not - on their own public page called 'Cell', in password-protected private UZone (NUZ), effectively building their own Private Networks 'NCPN'.
Many Participants have their own web sites - many of them can be run simultaneously from NUZ or be independent from NUZ.
Information about using our systems is available in NUZ and in ›Frequently Asked Question.
Problems and suggestions should be communicated via Comms section of the UZone, alternatively via ›Help page.
Our main objective, since year 2000, if you ›Remember, is to seek, feed and appreciate the precious natural resource of genuine Human Creativity, independent thinking and progressive business activity. We pursue that mission via Private Networks - access to which is regulated - in the interest of coherence, efficiency and compatibility with the existing Participants.
We use all means at our disposal to keep our data secure, we believe our security standards to be well above the average. Passwords to UZones are encrypted. NO sensitive information is knowingly stored on our servers, credit card transactions take place in secure environment provided by a specialised third party providers.
It is the responsibility of our Participants to keep their login details confidential.
All email must be regarded as NOT secure. Minimize its use for transmitting sensitive information, never send Passwords by email. When replying remove confidential information. Participants are responsible for content of their email, those who act irresponsibly may find our services withdrawn without refund.
Participants data placed on our Servers are treated with strictest confidence - NEVER released to third parties (unless required by a legal procedure).
Your data as owner of domain names registered with us is generally not available publicly - check this using various WHOIS online services - get back to us if you want to alter that information - note - under the ›ICANN rules you must keep your domain owner information up to date - or risk losing your domain name.
NetCells Sites NOT place cookies on Visitors' devices, except those logged in to the UZone. ›GDPR information.
Participants agree not to place on our Servers content illegal under the UK law, international law or the laws of their locality. Participants undertake not to attempt to gain unauthorised access to our Servers or to compromise their integrity in any other way.
Our mail servers are intended for personal and reasonable business use, bulk mailing (known as spam) will not be tolerated.
We will refuse hosting for Sites we see as harmful, anti-social or inflammatory and suspend or remove Participants publishing content of such nature on their Cell or Site.
Visitors to the Sites agree to comply with the existing national and international copyright laws. The responsibility for published content rests solely with those who have published it, the views expressed do not necessarily coincide with this Company's policy.
Participants' data placed on our Servers, including communications received via the SecureMessage system, are owed by them, unless placed by them in the public domain. Participants are solely responsible for the content they place on their pages and undertake not to breach other people's rights (such as copyright) in doing so.
The ensemble of the site design, including but not limited to, site layout, functionality, graphics, and the source programming code is owned by ›NetCells Ltd. The custom programming code written for a Participant is owned by us until paid for. Note that in event of moving Participant's Site away from our network such code may not function correctly until modified. Modifications may be implemented by any competent programmer, we will try to help but shall be under no obligation to do so.
Images and other content placed on NetCells Sites may be referred to, by us, as examples - to inform and to propagate the NetCells Network. Credit will always be given to the owner/author, if you are unhappy about such arrangement let us know, so your content may be excluded.
We use top, and continually updated technology. The server data backups are re-written weekly.
However, please note that unless you have a specific Site Management agreement with us, You, the Site Owner, are responsible for keeping an up-to-date copy of your site and downloading backups of email.
No refunds can be given for interruption of service due to circumstances beyond our control, such as a technical problem at the data centre or an hacker attack on the server, short down-time is also occasionally needed for software or hardware updates - that is generally done on Sundays.
Moving sites may take 24-72 hours to fully implement across the world, during which time your email may be held up.
The continuity of our services is maintained as long as the Participant account is in order. When Invoices are not paid, and/or the Participant does not respond to communications, first, we will restrict or block access to the Server, second, we will suspend the Participant's web site, finally, having given a reasonable notice we will close the account and destroy the related data on our Server (with exception of Invoices and other financial information in our records). No refunds will be given for the down-time or loss resulting from such actions on our part.
Our Hosting Fee is fully refundable during one month following the set-up date or the renewal date. No hosting refunds are given after that period.
The Name Registration fees and Startcell Site Launch fees are paid one or two years in advance and are non-refundable.
When a Domain Name is set up as an active site on our server it gets renewed automatically, otherwise, three automated notifications are sent by email to the Owner Contact we have on record when the renewal date approaches. It is the User's responsibility to ensure that his/her contact details are up to date in the ›UZone.
If we have no reply from the Owner Contact your Domain Name will be de-registered, in other words, lost, unless it is set to Auto-Renew, in which case the User is responsible for the renewal fees until the Auto-Renew is cancelled.
Name setting, such as renewal type, owner and billing contact detail, web diversions are updateable in the User Zone.
By registering a Domain Name with us, you undertake that the Owner information provided is true and accurate, the Domain Name is not infringing any trademarks or other intellectual property rights and is not cybersquatting as defined in ›Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.
The contact details of the Domain Name's Owner are publicly obtainable by querying any on-line WHOIS service, let us know if you want to prevent this.
When a Domain Name is not renewed by its registrant we reserve the right to re-register or renew that Domain in the Company name in order to prevent it being taken up by someone else. We are subsequently free to dispose of such Domains as we see fit, while giving priority to the previous registrant.
When a User Site is connected to the functionality of NetCells User Zone, in event of that site being transferred to another third party server, all or part of the site functionality will be lost - pages may continue to function in static (HTML) form but content will be no longer manageable via User Zone (NUZ). The programming code and functionality written specifically for a User may not function outside NUZ without modifications.
When the User Site is self-contained (ie. not using NetCells User Zone) all programming code, design, database, email, traffic data and other User content can be transferred to a third party server without loss, as long as the third party server is running management software same as or compatible with our industry standard server management software.
The User account has to be closed and the outstanding bills paid prior to transferring a User Site or a Domain Name away from our Server.
Any Domain Name managed by us may be pointed to any other third party server (Internet address) free of charge.
Transfers of Domain Names to and from the NetCells reseller account are normally free of charge unless additional time is required to deal manually with the transfer issues. We reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee in such cases, this will be discussed with the Domain Name's Owner prior to any action taken.
A request to leave our network is generally implemented within several hours. The Participant's content will no longer be accessible via web and will be deleted from our Servers in the 7 days that follow. However, it is not technically practicable to delete User content from the old server backup archives.
Participants' data can be extracted from our database at their request - a fee will be charged for this, depending on the volume but not exceeding 100 British Pound Sterling (GBP) before tax. The extracted data is in a standard database format - not easily usable until imported into some other data processing program.
All trademarks are acknowledged.
Links to sites mentioned by our Users or listed on our Site, are provided in good faith but not necessarily recommended by us. We accept no responsibility for the content, privacy, security policy or products and services offered by those sites.
