Most host ISPs will prefer standard terms. Occasionally
however, you will need a document with agreed specific
terms. This document will form the basis of your contract
with majorinternetpresence.com or in other circumstances of
non-standard services
About this document
For a host company, this document is vital for a sound relationship between you and your client. You need to be fully protected.
For a client, web site hosting usually turns into a long-term affair. As the value of your web site increases, you will want to know that it is in every way “safe”. The terms and conditions in these documents help you to get the contract right.
This document is suitable for any person or company who wants to place their web site with a host who will provide Internet access, anyone who operates a web site hosting business and anyone who wants to place their own hardware installation with a co-location host who will provide Internet access.
It has been drawn as a negotiable ‘agreement’ and therefore favours the customer or client. If you need a document to favour the host, choose a ‘terms and conditions’ type document linked right.
