L&M WebService prohibits the use of its servers for:
* Illegal Material - This includes copyrighted works, commercial audio, video, or music files, and any material in violation of any UK legislation.

Account holders will not post (nor allow to be posted) web pages containing such material or links to such material,
nor shall they store such material in their server space, nor shall they transmit such material by email or any other means.
L&M WebService reserve the right to determine whether any material or use is prohibited.
L&M WebService reserve the right to remove any such material without warning and suspend or terminate accounts without refund or notice.
Data Transfer (Bandwidth) and System Resources
All web hosting accounts should remain within the agreed data transfer (bandwidth) allowance for the account.
L&M WebService accept that there are times when sites may unexpectedly exceed data transfer allowance for short period of time.
L&M WebService will not impose any penalty for such breaches of data transfer allowance providing that these breaches are small,
are not frequent, and are not sustained. L&M WebService reserve the right to determine what constitutes small,
sustained or frequent breaches of data transfer allowance.
Many domains have to share the various resources (processors, memory, etc) available on the servers. L&M WebService believe that no
single domain should use excessive amounts of resources, as this may jeopardise server performance for the other domains.
Account holders may also be subject to additional costs due to excessive data transfer or resource use. These costs will be
agreed between L&M WebService and the account holder.
Cancellation, Termination and Refunds of Web Hosting Accounts
All web hosting accounts are for a period of one calendar year or one month from the date of ordering or renewal, depending on the payment selected.
Fees are charged on an annual pre-pay basis and are non-refundable.
Account holders may terminate their accounts by sending an email to terminate@lmwebservice.co.uk.
If no email is received by the end of the period the account will automaticly be renewed.
No refund will be given where customers terminate or cease to use their account prior to the end of the term of the hosting account.
In the event that L&M WebService finds an account is in breach of the prohibited uses, then that account may be terminated without notice.
No refund for the remainder of the year will be given.
In the event that L&M WebService is to refund full or partial payments, refunds will be made by the same means in which the
original order was placed. Customers who paid by credit or debit card will be refunded directly to their credit or debit cards.
Customers who paid by cheque will be refunded by cheque. All refunds will be made within 30 days of agreement to make a refund.
UK Customers Only
Under the terms of The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, consumers have a "cooling off" period of 7
working days from the date that the order is placed in which they may cancel orders placed by distance contract.
However, this right to cancel does not apply where service provision begins before the end of the cooling off period.
All web hosting accounts provided by L&M WebService begin the same day that the order is placed, normally within 2 hours of ordering.
Therefore, the consumer's right to cancel and receive a full refund will not apply once service provision has begun.
Commencement of service will normally be the time at which your account activation notice is sent.
The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 do not apply to business-to-business transactions, nor to transactions with
businesses or consumers outside the UK.
