The customer shall indemnify and hold Astley Marketing and its agents and representatives harmless against all claims, demands, actions, costs, expenses (including but not limited to legal costs and disbursements), losses and damages arising from or suffered or incurred by reason of any claim (including but not limited to the defence of such claim) that the reproduction of the Materials by Astley Marketing infringes the intellectual property or other rights of any third party or misuses the confidential information of a third party.

9. Delivery & Payment

Turnaround is measured in Working Days, defined as days on which the clearing banks in the City of London are open for normal business. For orders made on a Guaranteed Turnaround service (being orders guaranteed to be ready within a certain period (the “Guaranteed Period”)), delivery (as more particularly described in paragraph 9(b) below) will be made no later than 10pm on the last Working Day of the Guaranteed Period. Should Astley Marketing fail to deliver within the Guaranteed Period (see also paragraph 10 Variations in quantity), a service “credit” will be awarded up to the value of the order in question (redeemable against future orders within 1 month of issue of the Credit in question) (the “Credit”). The customer will still be obliged to pay in full for the order in respect of which delivery was late, including any of the sums charged specifically for the provision of the Guaranteed Turnaround Service (“the Premium Charges”). Where the late delivery is as the result of the action or inaction of a third party, such as a carrier, Astley Marketing, at our absolute discretion, may elect to extend the Turnaround by one Working Day and the customer shall not be awarded a Credit during this time.

In addition:

These services rely on the customer not delaying the progress of the order in any way (which delays include but are not limited to the customer not returning proofs by the time specified by Astley Marketing or failing to make payment by the time such payment is due) (a “Customer Delay”). In the event of a Customer Delay the customer shall not be awarded a Credit and the customer shall still be obliged to pay the Premium Charges but Astley Marketing shall not be bound to deliver within the Guaranteed Period.

Delivery of work by Astley Marketing shall be deemed to take place upon collection of the work by the customer (where the customer is obliged to collect the work) or (where Astley Marketing is obliged to deliver the work) actual delivery of the work to the customer by Astley Marketing. Where the customer is obliged to collect the work, customer’s failure to collect the work on the day on which Astley Marketing is contractually obliged to have it ready for collection shall be classed as a Customer Delay. Where Astley Marketing is obliged to deliver the work to the customer but the customer provides Astley Marketing with incomplete or incorrect delivery information or is not available to accept delivery, then provided that Astley Marketing has used reasonable endeavours to deliver the work to the customer, a failed delivery shall be classed as a Customer Delay.

Unless otherwise specified the price quoted is for collection of the work from Astley Marketing. A charge may be made to cover any extra costs involved for delivery to a different address.

Should expedited delivery be agreed Astley Marketing shall be entitled to make additional charges on a time and materials basis to cover any overtime or any other additional costs involved, including without limitation, the cost of couriers or special delivery post.

Should work be suspended at the request of or delayed through any default of the customer for a period of 30 days or more Astley Marketing shall then be entitled to payment for work already carried out, materials specially ordered and other additional costs including storage.

Risk of loss of or damage to work completed by Astley Marketing shall pass to the customer on delivery. Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the work to the customer, ownership of and title to the work shall not pass to the customer and shall be retained by Astley Marketing until Astley Marketing has received payment in full in respect of the work.

In the unlikely event that Astley Marketing deems it necessary to re-print work, the Guaranteed Period shall recommence from the time of Astley Marketing’s confirmation to the customer of its agreement to reprint the work.

10. Claims

Advice of damage, delay or partial loss of goods in transit or of non-delivery must be given in writing to Astley Marketing and the carrier within three clear days of delivery (or, in the case of non-delivery within 28 days of dispatch of the goods) and any claim in respect thereof must be made in writing to Astley Marketing and the carrier within seven clear days of delivery (or, in the case of non-delivery, within 42 days of dispatch). All other claims must be made in writing to Astley Marketing within 28 days of delivery. Astley Marketing shall not be liable in respect of any claim unless the aforementioned requirements have been complied with except in any particular case where the customer proves that (i) it was not possible to comply with the requirements and (ii) advice (where required) was given and the claim made as soon as reasonably possible. 

11. Liability

Astley Marketing gives no warranties or guarantees or makes any representations as to the merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of any completed work the subject of a customer’s order and all other warranties, conditions, guarantees or representations, whether express or implied, oral or in writing, except as expressly stated in these terms and conditions are hereby excluded. Astley Marketing shall not be liable for any loss arising from delay in transit not caused by Astley Marketing. Further, Astley Marketing shall not be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of profits, direct loss, economic loss, loss of goodwill or loss of anticipated savings or loss of data.

Nothing in these terms and conditions shall be construed so as to limit or exclude liability which cannot, pursuant to English Law, be excluded or limited including for death or personal injury or liability in respect of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Such items when supplied by the customer shall remain the customer’s property.

14. Materials Supplied by the Customer

Astley Marketing may reject any paper, plates or other materials supplied or specified by the customer which it considers to be unsuitable. Additional cost incurred if materials are found to be unsuitable during production may be charged except that if the whole or any part of such additional cost could have been avoided but for unreasonable delay by Astley Marketing in ascertaining the unsuitability of the materials then that amount shall not be charged to the customer. Astley Marketing shall have no liability in respect of any work being of less than reasonably satisfactory quality as a result of defects in or the unsuitability of materials supplied or specified by the customer. Astley Marketing shall assume that quantities of materials supplied shall be adequate to cover normal spoilage accordingly if the quantities of materials supplied are not sufficient to cover normal spoilage (“an Insufficient Supply”) then Astley Marketing shall have no liability for any shortfall in quantity to the extent that such shortfall arises as a result of such Insufficient Supply.

15. Credit Terms and Payment

For invoices not settled within the agreed credit terms or for payments returned unpaid (such as cheques, credit cards or similar), Astley Marketing reserves the right to charge interest on the overdue debt at 2% above the HSBC base rate at the time and an administration fee to cover its debt recovery costs and any other costs relating to the collection of payment.

Notice may be given at any time but wherever possible should be given after completion of work on any one issue. Without prejudice to the foregoing, Astley Marketing may terminate any such contract forthwith should any sum due thereunder remain unpaid for a period of 7 or more days from its due date.

11. Up-time Guarantee

We have an availability guarantee of 99.9% availability per month.

If you dispute a payment through your credit card company, through PayPal or another financial institution we may immediately suspend or terminate all services you have purchased from us. We may levy a charge of £20 GBP per dispute instance, payable before we restore your services. If we are charged a chargeback settlement fee, or other fee related to the payment dispute, we may pass this fee onto you.

13. Termination and Suspension

You may terminate your hosting at any time by advising us via email that you wish to do so.

We may suspend any or all of your services where we have reason to suspect a violation of our terms and conditions whilst we investigate the suspected violation. We may suspend your services where we have reason to suspect that a script installed on your site is being abused whilst we investigate the suspected abuse. 

14. Clean Up

If we suspect that activities performed by you or a third party on your hosting account, whether deliberate or not, may compromise the security of our server or any other server or computer, we may require a clean up to be performed.

A simple clean up will be provided free of charge, resulting in total loss of existing data on your hosting account. You should then restore the site from your backups. Depending on the severity, we may agree to perform a complex clean up (targeting only compromised files), for which we will charge support at our standard support rate.

15. Violations

If you violate our terms and conditions we may terminate or suspend (temporarily or indefinitely) any services you have with us. In this case no refund will be given for any payments that have been, or are made by you to us.

Following a violations of or terms and conditions, we may levy an investigation charge of £30 GBP per instance.

16. Cancellation and Refund

All hosting accounts are charged annually, we will in the majority of cases notify you in advance of the renewal date by email when we feel that the service is no longer used by you or your business. If we do not hear from you before the renewal date then it is assumed that the service is still required and we will invoice you accordingly by email as before. Payments for hosting service renewals are due within 14 days of the invoice date or supply date (whichever is the most recent).

If you wish to cancel the service after the renewal date we, to our discretion, can offer to credit note up to a maximum of 50% of the invoice amount for the hosting costs.

Domain name registrations cannot be cancelled after their renewal date and are not refundable. You should notify us that these are no-longer required with plenty of notice (and at very least 2 weeks) by email. We will confirm your request by reply and arrange the cancellation. If you do not have confirmation from us by email then you should assume that we have not received your request/instruction and contact us by telephone or post.

17. Reduced rates

We offer discounts to Charities and some services are charged at a reduced rates when we feel that their return is of higher value to their cost. For example, website holding pages are simple in nature and can benefit us by way of appropriate linking to your clients or your service providers. This then helps us to build a stronger relationship with our mutual partners. In this event we ask that in addition to point 8 of the ‘Terms governing the use of our services’ (above) we reserve the right to add non-competitive and discrete links. These additional links can be removed, please just ask.
