OUR PRODUCTS
-
DOMAINS
- Registration of domain names. We offer no guarantees about the availability of a certain domain name that you have requested for registration (Domain). Novoclouds will never register or transfer a domain name in your name. You should manage the WHOIS info for your domain using your Novoclouds customer area at clients.Novoclouds.com. It is your obligation to guarantee the accuracy of all data. If you fail to maintain your contact information up to date and it cannot be confirmed, your domain may be pulled down. To provide the best service possible, we have the right to change the registrar with which a Domain is registered at any moment and without notice. This modification has no effect on your domain name usage.
- You agree that for all eligible gTLDs, we shall act as a Designated Agent on your behalf in line with ICANN's Transfer Policy whenever a request is made to amend the registrant contact details connected with a Domain. In that regard, you allow us to approve a change of registrant or any update to the registrant's information on your behalf.
- Our assistance is restricted to forwarding your order to the registrar. It is your exclusive duty to guarantee that the domain has been properly registered, renewed, and/or transferred. We bear no responsibility if the Domain is not registered or transferred.
- Terms and conditions of a third party. Third-party terms and conditions, including those from the applicable registrar for the Domain extension, apply to domain registration. By submitting your purchase to us, you agree to abide by ICANN's and any relevant registry's terms and conditions for domain registration and usage at all times and in all ways. You will indemnify us in the event that you fail to comply with the requirements of this Agreement or with the terms and conditions of ICANN or the registry.
- Domain Renewals. We shall make every effort to renew a Domain on your behalf when it is due for renewal, unless you have provided notification in line with paragraph 4.1 below or have set the Domain to cancel or manual renewal in your control panel. We will not renew a Domain if no current payment method is supplied or if payment is not made as needed.
- Detail of renewal. Renewals are typically renewed for the same duration as the initial registration term, unless you notify us in writing of any needed changes or change the renewal settings in your client area. The renewal fee will be collected at the time of renewal at the current rate. To guarantee that the Domain is renewed on time, we will accept payment for Domain renewals up to 7 days prior to the Domain renewal date.
- Domain Transfers and Ownership Terms. We will determine who owns a registered Domain name using information from the Whois database. If the Whois database facts are not conclusive, we reserve the right to seek any additional proof necessary to determine ownership. It is your responsibility to settle any ownership issue with a third party. We are not obligated to carry out a transfer request unless we are satisfied that all necessary consents and permits have been received.
- Basis of Transfer. You are entirely responsible for completing any actions necessary to transfer the domain, such as altering the domain's Nominet IPSTAG, unlocking the domain name, submitting the Authorisation code, and accepting a transfer request. If you desire to cancel a transfer and request a refund, you must notify us in line with our refund policy.
- Transfer Restrictions. You agree that one year will be added and paid to some domain extensions when they are transferred. Some domains have maximum registration terms, and you understand that this may block a transfer if the renewal would push the registration over the registry term restriction. We will not begin domain transfer until the purchase has been placed and completely paid.
- Expired Domains. If a domain name is not renewed by its expiry date, it will stop working and be considered to be expired. A registered Domain will expire if we are unable to accept payment using the method specified, or if you have scheduled the Domain to expire or fail to renew the Domain manually before the renewal date.
- A domain may enter a grace and/or redemption period after its expiry date. In this case, you agree that we may, at our option, renew a Domain within three calendar days of its expiration date; or park the Domain on name servers other than those you specify. Domains registered with registries that do not provide a grace and/or redemption period may be unrecoverable by us after the expiry date, in which case our agreement will end immediately and without obligation to us. Furthermore, we have no obligation to try to reclaim such Domain.
- You acknowledge that you have the length of their grace period (for example, 30 days) following the expiry of the Domain ('the Grace Period') to contact us to retrieve and renew the Domain provided that you pay for said renewal in full and in cleared funds. You will maintain ownership of the Domain if we receive the renewal amount during the Grace Period, and we will return the Domain to your control panel as soon as reasonably possible.
- You agree that when the Grace Period expires, we may, at our sole discretion, take the following actions:
1. auction the Domain; 2. alter the contact information /or 3. transfer the Domain.
- If the renewal amount is not received during the Grace Period, our Agreement for that Domain will be terminated immediately and without obligation to us. If we receive a request from you to renew the Domain after the end of the Grace Period ('the Redemption Period,' you agree to pay the applicable redemption fee(s) plus the renewal fee(s) for the Domain(s), provided that the relevant registrar of the Domain permits for a redemption period. You understand and accept that we are under no obligation to renew or reclaim a Domain during the Redemption Period and will only seek to do so once you have paid both the redemption and renewal costs. We offer no guarantees that renewal attempts will be successful.

.Nominet UK's.UK domains are subject to their terms and conditions, which may be found at:[https://www.nominet.uk/go/terms(https://www.nominet.uk/go/terms)
-
HOSTING
- Free Domain Offer. Some of our hosting plans feature complimentary domain registration or transfer. This applies to a limited number of domain extensions and is subject to change. At our discretion, we may grant or deny a free registration or transfer. All subsequent extensions are not included in this package and will cost extra. Any charge decrease for consumers who desire to order using a different extension must be agreed upon in advance. Registration is valid for one year. Future renewals of these names will be subject to our standard renewal fee.
- Purpose of Services. Unless otherwise specified, our services are designed to be used for the hosting of websites and email. On our shared or reseller hosting servers, batch processing, video encoding/transcoding, web crawling/spidering, archiving and online backup systems, and any system used for reasons other than hosting a website are not authorised. You may only use such tools on a dedicated server with our written permission. We retain the right to take proactive measures in order to keep our systems stable for all clients. We expressly prohibit the use of adult pornography streaming websites.
- Suitability of Hosting Environment. Some options include 'unlimited' service, which means we don't actively limit your account's disc space or bandwidth (or both). However, to guarantee system stability, accounts are limited in terms of resource utilisation to ensure that no single client has an impact on the service of others on shared or reseller servers. The bundle you select determines your resources on dedicated servers.
- “Unlimited” Allowances. Any 'unlimited' allowances are subject to fair use, and any customer using an amount of monthly bandwidth or disc space deemed excessive in comparison to the average usage by other customers on our platform may be advised, at our discretion, to improve website efficiency and/or configure a CDN, or upgrade to a bespoke solution, and will be billed accordingly.
- Service Needs. If we believe that the service you selected or purchased does not fulfil your service needs, we will notify you and provide an alternative service. We are not obligated to continue providing hosting services that are insufficient or inappropriate for your purposes. Account suspension and/or termination may occur if you refuse to cooperate with an account relocation request.
- Migration Service. We provide a free migration service to assist you in moving your website from your former provider to us. This is a volunteer service. You recognise that you are the party most knowledgeable with your website, and that we cannot know the complexities of every website we host. We will take reasonable care to relocate your site files and data, but it is your duty to provide us with appropriate access to recover the data and ensure that the site has been successfully migrated. We strive to move websites within 72 hours, however we cannot promise a certain deadline. We may be able to move emails, DNS information, and domain names in some circumstances, but we do not warrant that we can move them successfully, or without interruption.
- Changes to the hosting environment. We retain the right to alter the hosting environment in which your website is hosted. These modifications will be implemented "like for like" and will have no impact on your use of the hosting environment. The only time major modifications to your website hosting environment will be made is to present you with a "upgrade." Any modifications to the hosting environment will be communicated to you in writing. This might be:
- to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and
- to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat; and
- to switch between locations and providers. We provide a variety of server locations and providers. It is possible that your preferred location is not available, or that your current location has been modified or shut down. We may, at our discretion, relocate you to a comparable area or provider. (For example, Microsoft Azure Cape Town to Microsoft Azure Johannesburg, or AWS Bahrain to Alibaba Bahrain).
- Upstream Providers. You must accept to the terms of our upstream suppliers, with an emphasis on their export law requirements (e.g., software used for DigitalOcean must be licenced in the United States). We endeavoured to include all of their pertinent clauses in this agreement. Appendix A has more information.
- CDN and Bandwidth Usage. We may need you to utilise a CDN service we provide in some countries where bandwidth charges are high owing to a lack of connection (e.g., the Middle East) or vary. A CDN service distributes worldwide traffic rather than from a single server, speeding up page loads and lowering bandwidth from the source. We will provide reasonable assistance with the setup.
- No Guarantee. We provide no assurance that your website will be protected from a denial of service attack unless such service is expressly offered and agreed upon. If you believe you may be a DDOS target, you may consider purchasing DDOS mitigation services from a third party, such as Cloudflare.
- Service uptime. We strive for 99.9% service uptime, excepting scheduled or emergency server maintenance and circumstances beyond our reasonable control. All clients will be alerted of scheduled maintenance as much in advance as possible via our status page and, if the maintenance lasts more than 30 minutes, via e-mail. If there is a problem with your server, we will send a skilled engineer to resolve the issue within 30 minutes of being alerted. In the rare event that your problem cannot be resolved within 30 minutes you will be notified. When notifying you we will provide you with the details of the problem along with an estimation of when the issue will be resolved. Notification may be via one of your contact methods or via our public status page (status. Novoclouds.com).
- Backups. For the greatest performance, we take twice-daily backups of your websites and store them offsite, generally in the same geographic region (but not always in the same nation) as your live server. If you have specific data residency needs, please contact us to discuss a custom solution. We may omit items that we deem unimportant to the functionality of your website, such as error logs, cpanel backups, and cache files. Backups are a best-effort service, and we make no guarantees that they are comprehensive or consistent. Backups of your own website are your responsibility.
- Disruption to Services. We are not liable for service disruptions that are beyond our control. We make every effort to select suppliers who deliver exceptionally high levels of performance and uptime, but if our supply of services is disrupted by an incident beyond our control, we will notify you as soon as possible and will take action to mitigate the impact of the interruption. This might be done through our status page at status.verpex.com. We shall not be held accountable for any inconvenience caused by the event. We shall not be held liable for network or hardware faults that occur upstream of us. For example, if AWS has a problem, we will not be accountable for it or consider it in our 99.9% uptime estimate.
-
PROVIDING THE SERVICES
- Service costs. The costs of the services will be as displayed to you on our website.
- When we will provide the services. We will supply the services to you until the subscription expires or you end the contract as described in Clause 7 or we end the contract by written notice to you as described in Clause 9.
- What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We will need certain information from you so that we can supply the services to you as stated in the sign up section for the services on our website. We may contact you to ask for further information or to check the information you have provided to us. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for any delay in supplying the services or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
- Reasons we may suspend or disable the supply of services to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a service to:
- deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
- update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
- make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see Clause 6);
- when required by law;
- where we believe that you are in breach of any material term of this Agreement;
- to resolve any third-party claims or actions;
- to avoid financial loss or legal liability.
- Your rights if we suspend the supply of services. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the services, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the services for longer than 24 hours in any 7 day period we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for products while they are suspended, save where the suspension is as a result of your breach of this Agreement or in accordance with clause 6.5 b (b) to (g) above. You may contact us to end the contract for a service if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 120 hours and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the service in respect of the period after you end the contract save where the suspension is as a result of your breach of this Agreement.
- We may also suspend supply of the service if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see Clause 10.6), we may suspend the supply of the services until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the services. As well as suspending the services we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments. Once payment has been made in accordance with these terms, we will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the service is restored to you within 24 hours.
- Service suspension. If your service has been suspended or goes overdue, we may no longer retain a copy of your data or website. Your website IP address may also change. This is due to the nature of us using global cloud providers: we will not be responsible for the cost of keeping your service running if you fail to pay your invoices.
-

Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

If you are unhappy with the transfer you may contact us to end the contract within 10 days of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for any complete month of service not provided.
- You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. Transfer requests can be made via support ticket in my.novoclouds.com
- Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
- If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
- Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. 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 from taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
- Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts.
