Terms and Conditions of Service - TOS

Beenleigh.biz a Division of SupplyLink International Pty Ltd ("The Company") agrees to provide services to the Client, subject to the following TOS (Terms of Service).

Use of SupplyLink Service constitutes acceptance and agreement to SupplyLink AUP as well as SupplyLink's TOS (Terms and Conditions of Service).

All provisions of this agreement are subject to the TOS (Terms of Service) of SupplyLink and AUP (Acceptable Use Policy). The AUP may be changed from time to time at the discretion of the Company. The Client understands that change to the AUP by the Company shall not be grounds for early contract termination or non-payment.

This Agreement shall be construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the state of Queensland, Australia applicable to contracts enforceable in that state.

General

The terms and conditions outlined below are designed to protect and benefit all clients.  In particular, they attempt to ensure that the servers are used only for legal and appropriate purposes, and that no client uses an 'unfair' proportion of the system's resources.

Limitation of Liability

The client agrees to indemnify and hold SupplyLink International Pty Ltd and its associates harmless from any claims resulting from the use of this site or associated services, including claims relating to damage to the client or to any other party.

Use of Servers

Clients should not attempt to access the sites of other clients, and should not attempt to hinder the operation of our servers in any way.  

Servers may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or distribution of any information, data or material in violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right used without proper authorization, and material that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws.  Examples of non-acceptable content or links: Pirated software, Hackers programs or archives, Warez sites, MP3, and IRC bots.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel service to any client.

Acceptable Content

Your site must not contain material, or contain any link to material, which is unlawful, pornographic, gambling-related, threatening, hateful, obscene or which encourages unlawful behaviour.  This includes any site with depictions of nudity, as well as material relating to hacking or pirated software.  We have sole discretion to determine whether a site's content is acceptable.  Sites with unacceptable content will be removed from our servers.

No Mirroring

You must not use your site to mirror material on any other site without our express written permission.  This permission will usually be declined unless the resources required are minimal.

Unlimited Traffic

We offer unlimited traffic on our all our hosting accounts to give you peace of mind. However, please note that the following types of sites do not qualify for unlimited traffic:

  • Sites containing archives, galleries or those offering files for download do not qualify for unlimited traffic unless the file types involved (e.g. .swf, .mov, .wmv, .tar, .gz, .exe, .zip etc) make up less than 20% of the site's total traffic;

  • Sites which contain images, CGI programs or similar content which are accessed from other sites.  For example, if the site runs a banner advertising program and the banner is stored on your site and accessed by the sites displaying your banner then you do not qualify for unlimited traffic;

  • Sites utilizing 'domain parking' (more than one domain name points to your home page);

  • Sites which generate an unusually high amount of traffic from images or other binary files (such as Java applets, mp3 and sound files). That is, if more than 20% of a site's traffic is from images or other binary files, then that site will not qualify for unlimited traffic.

If the hosting account does not qualify for unlimited traffic and the monthly traffic exceeds 1 Gigabyte then any traffic over and above 1 Gigabyte will be charged at $0.044 per Megabyte ( 4.4 cents per MB in blocks of 100MB). 

Please note that, in the interests of our other customers using our shared servers, we may decline to host extremely high traffic sites and may immediately disconnect such sites if we see fit.

We have sole discretion to determine whether and when these provisions apply.

Use of Disk Space

Your disk space is for your own use only.  You may not resell or give away disk space to any third party without written permission from us.

You may not consume disk space with copies of pages which are substantially the same.  For example, you cannot automatically generate multiple copies of a single page and place all the copies on your web site.

Please set your mail software to delete your mail from the server.  This will speed up your mail retrieval and will help you avoid excess disk space charges.  Mailboxes can quickly grow and consume your disk space allowance if you do not delete your mail from the server.

Database Size

The disk space used by your databases (combined total of your MySQL, flat-file and other databases) should not exceed 50 Mb.  If more than 50 Mb of disk space is used for these databases, the amount over and above 50 Mb will be charged at the usual excess disk space rates.

Additional Domains

You may not use software to point additional domain names at your site.  This includes subdomains (such as http://subdomain.yourdomain.com.au/) etc as well as standard domains (http://www.yourdomain.com.au/) etc. If you require an additional domain name to be pointed at your site, please contact Tech Support regarding our domain name parking facility.  A one-time setup fee is payable for each additional domain name parked on your site.

Chat Rooms and IRC

Chat rooms tend to monopolise system resources and for that reason we do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms.  IRC or IRC bots should not be run on our servers.

Resource-Intensive Programs

Any website that uses a high amount of server resources (such as, but not limited to, CPU time, memory usage, and network resources) will be given an option of either paying extra (which depends on the resource needed) or reducing the resource used to an acceptable level. 

If you install and run a resource-intensive program on our servers there may be an additional monthly charge.

Spam (Unsolicited Commerce Email)

Spamming, or sending of unsolicited bulk email, from our servers is strictly prohibited.  Additionally, you must not use an email address or domain name which is hosted by us to send unsolicited bulk email.  Violators will be assessed a minimum of $400.00 fine and will face an immediate suspension. If we decide that you have violated this condition then your account will be deactivated immediately.

Prices

Prices are subject to change without notice.  Any change in pricing will apply to your next billing period, but will not be payable for your current billing period.

Forms

All forms must be completed in full. The responsibility rests with the person completing the form to ensure that all information is accurate and correct. Delays in setup and changes may be affected by incomplete forms.

Billing Cycle, Invoices and Payments

Our standard billing cycle is quarterly in advance.  The initial payment is due at the time you order your service unless other arrangements in writing are agreed.  After the initial payment, we will send you an invoice via post, fax or email up to a month before each subsequent payment is due. This is due upon receipt of invoice.

Accounts that do not qualify for unlimited bandwidth will be invoiced separately with the invoice payable immediately upon receipt.  

Accounts will be placed on stop service that are overdue and not paid within seven (7) days after the invoice date.

Accounts that are not collectable by SupplyLink may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection. If your account is turned over for collection, you agree to pay the SupplyLink a "Processing and Collection Fee" of not less than $50 nor more than $150.

All Payments To SupplyLink International Pty Ltd Are Non-Refundable.

Renewal of Hosting, Domain Registration and Services

Accounts are automatically renewed 30 days prior to the end of each billing period unless cancelled in writing by the client providing a minimum of 30 days notice in writing by either email or ordinary mail.  Unless you request otherwise, all renewable accounts will be renewed according to the term of the initial account establishment i.e. if the client's hosting account was set-up for quarterly billing the account will automatically be renewed for 3 months each time the account is renewed.

Invoicing

Invoices will be emailed to your registered email address, in PDF format, with payment due upon receipt. An additional fee may apply if you require your invoice faxed or posted. 

Technical Support

We will provide unlimited technical support via e-mail relating to the operation of our server and the use of the server's facilities. Our online Support Centre will answer 99% of commonly addressed issues. We do not offer free telephone support. Should you telephone our Technical Support we may be contacted on our Head Office telephone number.. 

Account Cancellation Notification

You are required to notify us at least 30 days prior to account renewal. If you do not notify us at least 30 days prior to your scheduled renewal date, your account will be renewed at the current rate. Your account will then be cancelled at the end of the next standard billing cycle. 

Refusal of Service

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel service at our sole discretion.

If you breach any of the above terms and conditions we reserve the right to deactivate your account immediately.

Refund and Disputes

All payments are non-refundable. All overcharges or billing disputes must be reported in writing within 30 days of the date the dispute occurred.
