Standard Terms & Conditions for eCommerce,
Website Design and Development and IT Services.
Terms
Cluster A redundant array of computer systems working together to provide one or more services transparently to the end user. Hosting All websites are run on computer systems (or in our case a collection of computer systems) that accept traffic from the internet and translate traffic into calls in an application. The application executes business logic and interacts with a database to provide output traffic that is rendered on a customer's computer using a web browser. The computer systems, the place in which they are located and the network connection and bandwidth is known as hosting. Service Interruption You are unable to access the website. Clients cannot check out or the site reports a critical error that prevents customers from shopping. A security problem has been encountered. Integrity Problem You have made a change that you are unable to undo yourself, perhaps as a result of a mass import or a batch operation. Perhaps through no fault of your own the website appears to be corrupt from a data or a browsing perspective. Support TicketTerms & Conditions
1. Any support tickets not used within a given month cannot be carried forward to the next month. 2. If your monthly requirements exceed the quota, we can complete support tickets at a standard rate which is as follows: “Within 24 hours” £475.00 plus VAT at 15% “Within 72 hours” £225.00 plus VAT at 15% “Within week” £200.00 plus VAT at 15% “Within month” £110.00 plus VAT at 15% 3. Your quota: “Service Interruption” 1 Unlimited “Within 24 hours” 1 “Within 72 hours” 2 “Within week” 1 “Within month” 3 4. If you find that you need more assistance than the ticket levels allocated to you usually require we can revise the contract to provide more built in tickets on a different pricing plan. 5. A response to a ticket is at minimum an identification of cause, and a workaround until a tested fix is in place. Typically we would expect to provide a complete fix. However if you do not provide adequate information to allow us to identify and reproduce the problem we do not guarantee any turnaround time. Therefore our support desk will work with you to ensure that the problem is narrowed down in all instances.6. Note that all ticket schedules apply to working days defined as Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and UK public holidays.
7. Backups are taken within the hosting facilities themselves, as well as on a rotational schedule at a remote location onto a storage mechanism of IceStar Media Ltd's choice. We will maintain at least 10 nightly backups on rotation at any one time comprising of your site's data files, images and the software stack and the contents of the database itself.
8. Support tickets do not cover enhancements, however they do cover problems and provide assistance and advice. General advice can be given outside of the ticket system, at our discretion. 9. From time to time we may take on enhancements under a support ticket at no extra charge to the client where it makes sense to do so and where the change will benefit all clients.
13. IceStar Media Ltd. reserves the right to contract the services of a third party to cover sickness or leave.
14. This agreement only encompasses the software, hosting and related support as outlined and does not make provision for, nor will IceStar Media Ltd. be liable for any lost revenue whether proven or posited by the client or other parties.
15. IceStar Media Ltd. reserves the right to switch the installation to maintenance mode without warning in response to a problem being raised, or a problem being discovered by our own engineers that might risk the data integrity of your installation. Typically we will stick to agreed outage times with you and which you must provide.
16. Hosting will be provided with a 96% uptime minimum, limited to services and internal infrastructure.

17. If you cancel this contract with us, you have the right to continue using the version of the product you were on and the data associated with that instance for the sole purpose of continuing your online trading.

You may also not continue to use our hosting facilities, and we will provide instructions on how to set up a live installation using a licensed version of the product. 18. As standard our cover is daytime, weekday support. IceStar Media Ltd understands that the nature of this environment is that changes and fixes may be required over the weekend or out of hours. Indeed, if a serious fault is encountered late on a Friday, there would be a requirement on IceStar Media Ltd to get the issue resolved over the weekend. However, that cover is only provided for “24 hour or less” tickets, or it could result in an additional charge. Any other support ticket values will not apply to weekends unless by prior agreement with IceStar Media Ltd. 19.
