Server use
Central Domain Registry reserves the right to refuse service and/or access to its servers and/or services to anyone.

Central Domain Registry does not allow any of the following content to be stored on its servers:

Adult material - includes all pornography, erotic images, or otherwise lewd or obscene content.

Excessive download content or non-linked content.

Refusal of service based on content matching either of these two criteria is entirely at the discretion of Central Domain Registry.

Central Domain Registry reserves the right to move your data to a different server with no previous notice.

Support
We will endeavor to provide a continuous high quality service. If you experience problems with your service, you should consult our support team on 0844 7361098 or email to support@centraldomainregistry.co.uk

Please note we may require suspension of some of our services for short scheduled periods to carry out maintenance or repair to our services.

Reselling of Services
All accounts are to be used by the primary owner only, and do not allow the holders to resell, store or give away web-hosting services of their website to other parties.

Web hosting services are defined as allowing a separate, third party to host content on the owner's web site. Exceptions to this include ad banners, classified ads, and personal ads.

Unlimited Use Policy
High bandwidth usage: Central Domain Registry offers an unlimited use policy by maintaining very large ratios of bandwidth per customer. In rare cases, Central Domain Registry may find a customer to be using server resources to such an extent that he or she may jeopardize service performance and resources for other customers. In such instances, at Central Domain Registry’s discretion, Central Domain Registry reserves the right to impose the High Resource User Policy for the consideration of all customers.

Database Usage
If you exceed the limits on our database products (MS SQL and MySQL) then we will automatically charge you for the additional space you use at our current prices. For example if you have a 150MB database and 200MB is in use at any point during a month then we will charge for the extra 50MB in that month.

High Resource User Policy
Resources are defined as bandwidth, processor utilization or disk space.

Central Domain Registry may implement the following policy to its sole discretion:

When the resources utilised by a customer in using a service are abnormally high, Central Domain Registry reserves the right to suspend that service immediately. This policy is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is intended to prevent the misuse of our services. Customers may be offered an option whereby Central Domain Registry continues supplying the service under a reduced usage criteria specified by Central Domain Registry. Failure to comply with such measures may result in your service being terminated.

Uploads via scripting languages
We limit uploads made via scripting languages - including PHP, ASP and ASP.NET. Uploads made using PHP are limited to 20MB per file.

Payment policies
All accounts are set up on a prepay basis. Although Central Domain Registry reserves the right to change prices of accounts or services at any time, all pricing is guaranteed for the period of prepayment. Payment is due every 30 or 365 days, from the date the account was established. Customers will automatically be charged again at the end of their prepay period unless confirmation of the wish to close has already been received.

In situations where the card number on file is declined Central Domain Registry will immediately suspend the facility to purchase services on-line until the outstanding charge is processed successfully. In addition, Central Domain Registry reserves the right to suspend other services until the outstanding debt is cleared. Any non-payment of a recurring invoice may be subject to a £20 administration charge. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time that the customer sends a written cancellation request.

You are required to have a valid credit/debit card and email address registered on your account at all times, failure to do so may result in suspension of your account.

When registering online no bills or invoices will be sent by regular mail. All invoices will be sent directly to customers via email shortly after the online purchase has been made. At this point the customer's card will be charged automatically.

Please refer to our Domain Name terms of service for Domain Name specific payment policies.

All payment is in UK sterling. All prices displayed are shown excluding UK VAT.

Cheque Payment: This option is only available to business customers who pay annually for their Central Domain Registry account. A credit/debit card number will still be required if customers require the facility to purchase domains and other services on-line.
