Terms and Conditions

See terms & conditions for all .UK domains here

General

"By registering a .uk domain name, you enter into a contract of registration with Nominet UK on the terms and conditions here. This is a separate contract to any arrangement you may have with any third party for the provision of internet services. Please read before proceeding with your order."

The signed Application Form, Order Confirmation, website order submission or order from our secure online accounts system constitute acceptance of these terms and conditions.

Acceptance of payment terms is a condition of sale.

We dislike small print and have no hidden charges. Nor to we penalise clients who no longer wish to trade with us. We would rather provide an excellent package both technically and in the service we offer.

It is coming increasingly common for low initial costs to be heavily marketed and only once a contract with penalties is agreed do the full costs become apparent or basic features that could reasonably be expected are held back with additional fees being payable.

Terms of payment are 7 days net of the issue date of the invoice. Any invoice queries should be raised within 48 hours of invoice issue.

Automated reminders will be sent every 3 days on overdue accounts. Those accounts in default for 9 days will be immediately terminated without further notice. This new system will benefit the vast majority of clients as the burden of processing reminders is a cost we are not prepared to pass on to client who keep their accounts in good order.

All goods remain the property of Optima Solutions Ltd until payment in full is received.

Any typographical, clerical or other error or omission in any sales literature, quotation, price list, acceptance of offer or other documents of information issued by an agent of or for Optima Solutions Ltd shall be subject to correction without any liability on the part of Optima Solutions.

Services for Reseller

We have specialised in offering outstanding support to resellers. Our philosophy is to pass on the savings in marketing costs and our benefits in buying in bulk to those reseller who have brought to us multiple accounts or domain registrations. In addition the reduced support costs are passed back to resellers in their discounts.

In return it is expected that resellers will be responsible for the billing and front line support of their clients.

Any savings or discounts are clearly stated and will not be withheld on the basis or trading value. Particularly the offering of a high discounted and the with holding of that discount is to us morally unacceptable even though this is a standard business practice used by some hosting companies who advertise their outstanding support to resellers.

Many companies are not able to offer fast knowledgeable support because they have large numbers of clients to support or too few experienced support staff. 

If we have our commercial strategy or support wrong is it fair to penalise the customer we don't think so.

Internet Services and Products

Failure to settle the invoice by the due date will result in the withdrawal of the product or service. For example, a domain name will be de-registered without notice, website hosting will be suspended, new webpage contents will not be posted to the Internet, hosted sites will be temporarily suspended.

All rental services will be invoiced in advance. The minimum contract period is 3 months. Cancellation of services is required in writing with one month’s notice given.

The Customer indemnifies Optima Solutions Ltd against all claims, damages, penalties, costs or expenses arising out of or attributed to any third party allegation in relation to a name to be registered infringing any rights owned by a third party and infringement of any copyright, patent or design of a third party and that any part of a website content or of an email message does not contain material which may be deemed to be offensive or defamatory which would constitute an actionable wrong and in so doing render Optima Solutions Ltd liable to civil or criminal liability.

Email redirection will only be actioned upon receipts of a signed confirmation on company headed paper or via the email address itself.

Optima Solutions will have no liability for any failure in any service where the failure is due to external forces and does not result from negligence or deliberate fault of Optima Solutions Ltd.

Hardware and Software

A minimum of 50% of the total invoice price will be required at the time of order placement.

The balance is to be paid within the terms of the invoice after delivery/ installation has taken place.
