For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.
  16. Price and payment

    1. Where to find the price for the service. The price of the service (which does not include VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. The price for any (i) auto renewals is provided as set out in clause 16.8 and (ii) periodic subscription payments is provided as set out in clause 16.6. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the service advised to you is correct. However please see clause 16.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the service you order
    2. We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the service, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the service in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
    3. What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the services we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the service's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the service's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid after deducting from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied.
    4. When additional charges may be payable. Additional charges may be payable if you exceed any limits or restrictions on usage permitted in respect to the products or services that you have purchased from us. We will use reasonable endeavours to notify you if you exceed any such limits or restrictions in this way. Further, we reserve the right to periodically review and increase the charges that may be payable for the provision of any products or services at any time by providing you with at least 30 days’ notice of any such increase. If, on receipt of such notification, you do not wish to continue to receive the products or services in respect of which the prices have increased, you may terminate the Contract in accordance with Clause 11.
    5. Where we have agreed a bespoke price for provision of our products and services, we reserve the right to periodically review these charges.
    6. When you must pay and how you must pay. When you must pay depends on what service you are buying:
      1. For one-off services, you must make an advance payment of 100% of the price of the services, before we start providing them; and
      2. For ongoing services, we will invoice you periodically (depending on payment option choice) in advance for the services until the services are completed. An invoice will be generated automatically on payment and sent to you.
      3. The charges are inclusive of any third party disbursements that we may make on your behalf, for example registration fees payable to the applicable domain name registry.
      4. Payments processed by third parties are also subject to those third parties' terms and conditions of service and we make no representations and provide no warranties with respect to those third party services.
      5. VAT and other taxes and duties (where applicable) are payable in addition to the charges for the services.
    7. No right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
    8. Renewals. Where you have opted for the auto-renewal payment method, we will advise you of the impending expiry of the services and give you notice that we will be automatically charging your credit or debit card. The notice will be sent to the then current email address specified by you on your Account. In the event the payment fails, we will notify you via email and it will be your responsibility to make alternative payment arrangements for your service renewal. We will not be liable in respect of the non-renewal of a service if, having sent you a renewal notice, we do not receive notice of renewal and the applicable payment, or if you fail to notify us of a change of contact details
    9. It is your responsibility to ensure that any products/services which you have selected to auto renew through your account with us, have valid up-to-date credit or debit card details assigned at all times. We cannot be held responsible for failed payments or loss of any product or service(s) as a result of invalid, expired or missing credit or debit card details.
    10. Any card on your account which has not been actively used by you within the preceding 24 months cannot be processed for payment. Any service(s) set to automatically renew with the card will be set to manual renewal, and such cards will be removed from your account. You will need to update your payment preferences in your Account. We will not be liable for any failed renewals which occur as a result of a card being inactive for 24 months and therefore not suitable for your payment commitments.

For the avoidance of doubt, the £10.00 plus VAT admin fee will be deducted from each individual payment that is being requested for refund.
    13. Where a payment is made to us via bank transfer of any kind, all bank charges incurred will be your responsibility.

      1. You agree that the first payment for the service will be taken by credit or debit card and all subsequent monthly payments will be taken via Direct Debit.
      2. We will send you advance notice by email to the email address specified on your online account giving details of the service the Direct Debit relates to, the total amount, the frequency and date when the amount will be collected.
      3. An advance notice will only be sent when a Direct Debit is setup or modified.

On receipt of the mandate we will proceed to set up the Direct Debit and you will receive advance notice of such Direct Debit.
      5. We will not initiate any Direct Debit on your account unless authorisation has been received by you.
      6. If the Direct Debit fails, we will send an email to the email address listed in your account to advise you of the failure.

      7. In the event that you change bank or building society we will be notified of such change by BACS and any existing Direct Debit for the service will be cancelled. You agree that under these circumstances any future payments will be taken from the credit or debit card listed on your account until such time as any new Direct Debit is setup or until such time as you contact us to make alternative payment arrangements.
      8. Following cancellation of any Direct Debit, unless you have terminated the service in accordance with the Contract, you authorise us to take any future payments for the service, to which the Direct Debit relates, from the credit or debit card listed on your account.

      10. You can cancel any Direct Debit, at any time. If you wish to cancel any Direct Debit you can either:
        1. Write to your bank or building society, sending a copy of the letter to us; or
        2. Send an enquiry to the Customer Care Department from the support section of your Account ten (10) working days prior to the next monthly renewal date for the service.

If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not request it but we continue to provide the services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

You will be given at least four (4) weeks' notice of changes for the renewal term.
    20. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that all of your registered Domain Names are renewed prior to their expiration dates. Once the Domain Name expires, all associated services will be deactivated (hosting, email etc.) and it will be removed from your account. You can still contact us to confirm after this point whether the domain name is available to renew. You accept and recognise that once a Domain Name expires, you lose all rights on it.

    22. A Domain Name, once registered, will fall due for renewal at the date specified by the Registry, this may not be in line with the initial registration date.

You may advise us through one of our representatives or via your Account that you do not wish us to send you reminders of renewal dates in which case we shall have no liability to you if you fail to renew.
    23. Unless you have notified us that you do not wish us to send you reminders of renewal date our sole obligation in relation to the renewal of Domain Names is to issue one reminder to you at your last notified email address about the renewal date of the relevant Domain Name. This obligation will lapse if your registration of the domain name lapses or terminates for any reason. We will not be liable in respect of the non-renewal of a Domain Name if, having sent you a renewal notice, we do not receive notice of renewal and the applicable payment, or if you fail to notify us of a change of contact details.
    24. At the end of the expiration period, you formally accept that we reserve the right, at our own discretion, to either:
      1. Transfer the property of the expired domain to its own name or to the name of any of our group companies and to renew the domain to its own name. You hereby accept that we or a company in our Group will then become the Registrant of such domain name and have all the corresponding rights. Only in that case, will you have the possibility to get the domain name back up to ninety (90) days after the expiry date of the domain name, by paying all the applicable fees. We will then transfer the property of the domain back to you. After the end of the ninety (90) day period, if you don't exercise the rights under this provision, you will be deemed to have abandoned the Domain Name services, and to relinquish all interests and use of the Domain Name services; or
      2. Renew the expired domain name at our costs, keeping the Registrant data unchanged, and following your express approval. In such case, all the Services associated to the Domain Name will be deactivated (Hosting, Email etc.) and a courtesy page containing advertisements will appear. You accept and recognise that you will not be provided any kind of remuneration in relation with the courtesy pages. You will remain the registrant of the Domain Name, and you will be able to get the Domain Name back and recreate the associated services by ordering the Domain Name and the services at the price and under the contractual conditions applicable at the time of your orders; or
      3. To delete the domain at the Registry. In such cases, the domain will be released and can be registered by anyone. We decline any and all liability in case the domain name is registered by any third-party. You remain solely responsible for the non-renewal of the domain name before the expiry date and for any consequences that may arise.
      4. You formally accept that it is our exclusive decision to opt for one or another of the options listed above. You have no right whatsoever on such options and waives any right of contestation or claim in that respect.
      5. For ccTLDs, the domain name expiration process will follow the relevant Registry regulations and processes. You accept and recognise that once a ccTLD expires, you lose all rights on the Domain Name.

    1. Where a domain is transferred to us, it is your responsibility to ensure you have an account with us and you have followed our transfer-in process in order for us to be able to accept and complete the domain transfer on your behalf. We cannot be held responsible for any Domain Name(s) that is/are rejected when you have not completed the transfer in process through your account with us. If at any time the Domain Name needs to be removed from the account created and placed in another account with us (i.e. a reseller's account) then we will require authorisation from the legal registrant for the Domain Name for this to occur.
    2. Where the transfer of any domain name has to be effected by your new provider, then, subject to your compliance with the terms of this agreement, we will co-operate with the new provider to allow the transfer to take place.

    3. We will not transfer a domain name until all Fees attributable to the domain name services which are due have been paid by you to us.
    4. On receipt of a transfer request, we will use our reasonable endeavours to process the transfer request, but will not be responsible for any delay in effecting such transfer due to acts or omissions of your current provider or new provider (as applicable) or the registry/registrar.
    5. When requesting the transfer of a gTLD domain name to us, you acknowledge that:
      1. The domain name has been unlocked (if applicable) and the current provider is aware of, and willing to approve, the outbound transfer.
      2. Submission of a domain name transfer request to us does not guarantee that the transfer will be successful.
      3. Until such time as you receive a transfer completion notice issued by us, management of the domain name(s) being transferred remains your sole responsibility. This includes meeting renewal deadlines and paying any amounts owed to the existing provider.
      4. If, after 60 days, we have been unable to transfer the domain name, the transfer will be deemed to have failed. Any applicable transfer Fee will be refunded. You will need to re-raise the transfer for it to continue.
    6. You acknowledge that all inbound and outbound transfers of gTLDs are subject to the transfer policies set out by ICANN which can be found here: https://www.icann.org/en/transfers.
    7. For the avoidance of doubt, any free services that we have provided to you in relation to your domain name (e.g. web and email forwarding, domain parking, DNS) will come to an end once any such transfer out has been completed.
    8. You agree that we may, at any time and without notice, change the domain name Registrar or other supplier with which/whom we manage your domain name(s). To do so may require us to perform a "Registrar Transfer". In which case, you authorise us to act on your behalf in this regard and transfer the Domain Name(s) to our chosen supplier. You agree that should any transfer authorisation emails be required, this will be dealt with by us as the authorised Administrative Contact for the Domain Name(s). We will endeavour to perform such transfers in a transparent manner, with no service disruption or the loss of any domain management facilities previously available to you. You acknowledge that by us performing a Registrar Transfer, the Domain Name(s) may be blocked from transferring to any other domain name registrar for a period of sixty (60) days from the date the transfer is completed.
  4. Domain Parking
    1. You accept and agree that LCN will publish courtesy pages containing advertisements on your Domain Name as a holding page if you have not posted web content on your Domain Name; you are free to disable the courtesy page at your sole discretion.
    2. During the expiration period we may publish courtesy pages containing advertisements on your Domain Name.
    3. You accept and recognise that you will not be provided with any kind of remuneration in relation with the courtesy pages.
  5. Domain Dispute Resolution
    1. Your use of a domain name once registered may be challenged by a third party; if so, or if any other dispute arises the procedures laid down by the relevant registry will apply and these may include the suspension or revocation of your application for a domain name or the registration of a domain name allocated to you to a third party and we will have no responsibility or involvement in relation thereto.
    2. You acknowledge that, should any disputes arise out of the registration of any domain name(s), we are acting under instruction by you and therefore you shall resolve any disputes in accordance with the respective naming authority's dispute resolution policies which include but are not limited to the following:
      1. .UK domains - https://www.nominet.uk/domain-support/uk-domain-disputes/
      2. gTLDs - http://www.icann.org/en/udrp/udrp.htm
      3. .EU - http://eu.adr.eu/
      4. .UK.COM - https://www.centralnic.com/support/dispute
    3. If we become aware of any dispute with any other person or business or organisation regarding any of your Domain Name(s), we may, at our sole discretion, and without notice or liability to you, cease any further use or service of such Domain Names including, without limitation, deleting or suspending them from our computer systems, and/or making appropriate representations or providing information to any relevant authority or interested party.
  6. Limitation of liability
    1. We, and our affiliates and service providers, shall not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or exemplary damages arising from your use of, inability to use, or reliance upon a Domain Name. These exclusions apply to any claims for lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any other commercial damages or losses, even if we, or our affiliates and services providers, knew or should have known of the possibility of such damages. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such jurisdictions the Registrys’ liability, and the liability of the Registrys’ affiliates and service providers, shall be limited. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions which set out our liability to you.

Schedule B

Terms and Conditions for the provision of Email Services and WebMail Services.

  1. Mailbox
    1. Each mailbox has a storage quota. This maybe by reference to the number of emails held, the size of attachments, or other methods we may specify. This is in place to protect your account and other accounts from potentially large volumes of email sent to a single address that could materially affect the email system server. Additional storage can be purchased through your Account or can be obtained via upgrading your mailbox package. It is your responsibility to ensure that your mailbox does not reach its allocated level. We will not be liable for any email lost due to full mailboxes. You can check your mailbox capacity from your Account.
    2. We may occasionally need to change these limits either for operational reasons, or because we reasonably believe you have not been using the services in accordance with our Acceptable Use Policy. If we do so, we will endeavour to give you twenty-one (21) days advance notice of the new limits by email and after that notice expires we may refuse to accept material and/or remove materials which exceed the relevant limits. Your emails will be stored on our clustered mail services until they are removed from our server.
    3. LCN operates a 30 day money back guarantee. Further information regarding this policy can be found here https://www.lcn.com/info/moneyback-guarantee.
    4. In the event that you exceed your quota then we reserve the right, by written notice to request that you upgrade to an Email or Web Hosting product with a high quota or, where the maximum quota allowable has been reached, to delete the content in excess of the quota. You are required to manage and effectively remedy any issues with your email through the Account within seven (7) working days of our written request.
    5. We reserve the right to suspend your services if the request made in Clause 1(d) above is not actioned. We will charge you for un-suspending your services should you go over your mailbox quota.
    6. It is your responsibility to keep your password confidential and to change the password on a regular basis. We will not be liable for any data losses or security issues due to stolen or insecure passwords.
  2. Service availability
    1. We monitor the mail platform as a whole but do not monitor individual mailboxes. The server uses SMTP (“Simple Mail Transfer Protocol”), a "store and forward" email protocol, to receive incoming and deliver outbound messages. By default, the mail platform attempts to deliver messages on a regular basis. If delivery is not achieved within twelve (12) hours, a delay notification is emailed to the sender. If delivery is not achieved within four (4) days, the message is returned to the sender.
    2. We may limit or deny access to the services and our Email and Web Hosting systems in the event that, in our sole judgement, such action is required to prevent damage to our or our third party provider’s networks (including but not limited to software and stored date) or to ensure the integrity or security of the network.
  3. Storage Capacity
    1. Each account is allotted an aggregated storage capacity initially equal to the total storage capacity of all the mailboxes of that account.
  4. Security
    1. We try to ensure mailbox security and integrity of data at all times. However, despite our efforts, problems may occasionally arise. Where a problem does arise with a specific mailbox, it is your responsibility to inform us of this via your Account by contacting our Customer Care team. We will use reasonable efforts to resolve the problem. However, we do not guarantee that we can restore any lost or corrupted data and we will have no liability for the loss or corruption of any data. It is your responsibility to ensure that you back up your data as necessary for you.
    2. We provide anti-virus and anti-spam services for incoming email. This service can be enabled and configured via the Account. While we do our best to remove all viruses and spam, we cannot guarantee that we will catch them all nor that no virus will reach your computer. We also cannot guarantee that non-spam messages will never be marked as spam.
  5. Ownership of data and indemnity
    1. All data created or stored by you within our applications and servers is your property.
    2. We will allow access to such data only by our authorised personnel.
    3. You will indemnify us and keep us indemnified against any claim, loss or damage in respect of any web server content, email content or any other data contained within your server space or within applications on our servers.
  6. Use of email account
    1. If we identify a mailbox or Domain Name that is transmitting illegal, offensive, abusive, derogatory, defamatory, obscene or infected content, or for the purposes of sending bulk or unsolicited emails, or being used contrary to our Acceptable Use Policy, or otherwise causing problems, we will either remove the offending mailboxes or change their settings to resolve the issue. In certain cases, we will, at our discretion, disable email or suspend all services to the domain as appropriate.
  7. Use of free email accounts offered with the registration package of certain domains
    1. By activating the free email account (LiteMail), if offered, with the domain registration package, you confirm and accept that the contents of the POP3 mailbox provided as part of this free email account shall be your property and at all times your sole responsibility (including, but not limited to, taking appropriate technical and security measures, running virus software and making backups to protect such contents) in accordance with this Schedule.
    2. Following the expiration of, or the transfer away from us, of the domain associated with this free email account (or following the termination of any agreement we have with you in relation to it), we reserve the right to: (i) immediately delete the contents of any mailbox; and (ii) withdraw any additional products, associated with this domain.
  8. Termination
    1. On termination for any reason, we will cease providing the services and your mailboxes will be deleted.
    2. If the termination is during the minimum term you will be liable to pay us the charges that would have arisen from the date of termination till the expiry of the minimum term.
  9. Remedies and Limitations
    1. Our total liability in relation to the Email and Web Hosting services whether, in respect of any breach of this Schedule, negligence, any act or omission on our part, whether intentional or otherwise, shall be limited to the total fees paid by you to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability for the Email and Web Hosting services.
    2. We accept no responsibility for any delay, lack of connection, slow connection, loss of data, loss of usability, or any similar or related issues due to, but not limited to any of the following: (i) the active or passive negligence, of us, you or any third party; (ii) downtime due to scheduled or emergency maintenance; (iii) an upgrade, downgrade or alteration to the services; (iv) any hard failure (including issues caused by other users on the hardware); (v) your systems incompatibility with the services; or (vi) your error.

Schedule C

Terms and Conditions for the provision of Web Hosting services

    1. We aim to set up Website Hosting within twenty (20) minutes of receiving your order and will send you an email to advise you of your user name, password and other information to the email address supplied at the time of order.
    2. You acknowledge that unless otherwise agreed in writing with us, any set up time ("delivery date") we give to you is a guideline only and we do not guarantee that it will be met.
    3. LCN operates a 30 day money back guarantee. Further information regarding this policy can be found here https://www.lcn.com/info/moneyback-guarantee.
    4. If you reasonably believe that the service delivered to you on the actual delivery date does not meet the specifications, you must notify us of this within ten (10) working days of the delivery, and we will then use all reasonable endeavours to resolve the issue within ten (10) working days. "Working Day" shall mean a day falling on a Monday to Friday which is not a bank or public holiday.
    5. If you do not notify us of any failure within ten (10) Working Days of delivery or, where we have carried out remedial work pursuant to this Schedule C, within ten (10) Working Days of us completing that remedial work (as notified to you by us), you will be deemed to have accepted the service as delivered.
    6. We reserve the right to amend the service, at any time, provided that this amendment does not materially detrimentally affect the service.
    7. We may occasionally impose limits on your storage space or data activity if we impose any limits, we will give you twenty-four (24) hours advance notice of any limits by email.
    8. You hereby acknowledge that you will never physically access the servers and platforms and you will not be provided with any equipment or device.

  2. Charges
    1. You are responsible for ensuring that your bandwidth does not exceed the allowances set as part of your package/service.
    2. If your bandwidth either exceeds the allowance set as part of your package/service or reaches the point where it has an adverse effect on other customers, we reserve the right to:
      1. Disable your site, without prior notice, until you can reduce your bandwidth usage; or
      2. Charge you for excess bandwidth usage, over and above your package allowance, as published by us from time to time.

    2. You hereby accept that the sole purpose of the Web Hosting service is the hosting of website files on our servers and platforms. You acknowledge that it is strictly forbidden to use the storage capacity allotted for any other purpose, such as, but not limited to, for the storage, backup, or archive of electronic files, documents, log files etc. We reserve the right to suspend the services and/or to cancel the Contract in such case.
    3. Whilst with some Web Hosting services we offer unlimited storage and we do not limit the amount of storage your site can use, this still needs to comply with Acceptable Use Policy. Should your storage usage present a risk to the stability, performance or uplift of our servers or have an adverse effect on other customers we will notify you via email and you may be required to upgrade to a Virtual Private Server or Dedicated Server or we may restrict the resources your website is using.
  4. Security
    1. We try to ensure server security and integrity of data at all times. However, despite our efforts, issues may occasionally arise which are beyond our reasonable control. Where an issue does arise with a specific service, we will use all reasonable efforts to resolve the problem. However, we do not guarantee that we can restore any lost or corrupted data and we will have no liability for the loss or corruption of any data. It is your responsibility to ensure that you back up your data as necessary for you.
    2. We scan all files on upload via FTP. While we do our best to block infected files, we cannot guarantee that we will prevent all infected files from being uploaded. We cannot be held liable for any virus infections caused by visits to your site.

You remain solely responsible for the suspension and/or the cancellation of the services and for any direct and indirect consequences that may arise.

Schedule I

Terms and Conditions for the provision of SSL Services.

This Schedule is accepted in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions and relates to the sale and provision of SSL Certificates through us.

You acknowledge and accept that for the provision of SSL Certificates we act only as a reseller of External Providers, Symantec, Lets Encrypt and GlobalSign as specified below and you accept the obligations contained in the following external Provider agreements:

Digicert: https://www.digicert.com/legal-repository/

Sectigo: https://sectigo.com/legal

The Service gives you use of an SSL Certificate, which consists of a key pair as well as verified identification information. When a web browser (or customer) points to a secured website, the server shares the public key with you to establish an encryption method and a unique session key. You confirm that you recognise and trust the issuer of the SSL Certificate. This process is known as the "SSL handshake" and it begins a secure session that protects message privacy, message integrity, and server security.

  1. Definitions
    In this Schedule:
    1. "Certificate Application" means your application for an SSL certificate which must be accepted by the External Providers, using Our order process.
    2. "External Providers" means the third party providers, Symantec, Lets Encrypt and GlobalSign who provide the SSL service that we resell and with whom you are also contracting by choosing this product.
    3. "Minimum Term" means the minimum amount of time that you may purchase the Product for after the order has been accepted.
    4. "Certificate" means SSL Services provided by External Providers and available for purchase from us as listed at https://www.lcn.com/info/company/price-list.
    5. "Services" means the provision and sale of SSL Certificates and accompanying information.
  2. Activation of Service
    1. Your order must be submitted to us using either the online order form or through one of our representatives. The Services must be used in respect of a registered Domain Name.
    2. If we accept your order, the processing of your request will start immediately.
    3. We will perform the authentication procedures for the Certificate that you have requested, upon receipt of the applicable payment, and subsequently process any Certificate Application.
    4. Upon approval of the Certificate Application, prior to the issuance of the Certificate, you must submit a Certificate Signing Request (“CSR”) in a format specified by us. If we do not receive a CSR within twelve (12) months from the day the Certificate Application is approved and a Product is otherwise ready for issuance, the Certificate Application approval will automatically expire.
    5. You must review the information in the Certificate and promptly notify us of any errors. Upon receipt of such notice, we may revoke the Certificate and issue a corrected Certificate.
  3. Services and charges
    1. Details of our products, prices and full services can be found on our website at https://www.lcn.com/info/company/price-list.
  4. Duration
    1. The Contract for the Certificate will be for a period of time dependant on the Minimum Term chosen, starting at the time the order is accepted. The Minimum Term will expire unless it is renewed for a subsequent period. This is subject to the provisions for early termination set out in the Terms and Conditions.
    2. When You purchase a certificate for 2 years, the SSL will be issued across two separate certificates of 1 year, to comply with browser requirements. After the initial 1 year term has passed, a new Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and a new Domain Certificate Validation (DCV) is required, meaning the certificate will need to be re-issued by Us and re-installed by You. The re-issue/re-install process is free, unless you choose to amend the SSL order. If You do not complete your re-issue/re-install process on time, your existing SSL will no longer be valid. We will notify you prior to the end date of your first 1-year certificate and ask you to re-install the next 1 year SSL certificate.
  5. Consequences of termination
    1. On termination for any reason, we will cease to provide the Services and your Certificates will be deleted.
    2. If you terminate the Services during the Minimum Term, you will be liable to pay us the charges that would have arisen from the date of termination until the expiry of the Minimum Term.
  6. Ownership of data and indemnity
    1. All data created or stored by you within our applications and servers is your property.
    2. We will allow access to such data only by our authorised personnel.
    3. You will indemnify us and keep us indemnified against any claim, loss or damage in respect of any content, email content or any other data contained within your Products.
  7. Use of Certificates
    1. You represent and warrant that you have the necessary rights to any data, software programs or services that you use in connection with your access or use of the Certificates and that such activities do not infringe the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any third party.
    2. You agree to access and use the Certificates:
