Disclosure Of Information To Authorities

The Acceptable Use Policy specifically prohibits the use of 3DPixelNet's service for illegal activities. Therefore, the Client agrees that the Provider may disclose any and all Client information including assigned IP numbers, account history, account use, etc... to any authorised authorities or agents who make a written request without further consent or notification to the Client. In addition 3DPixelNet shall have the right to terminate all services set forth in this Agreement.

Refunds

All payments for hosting accounts to 3DPixelNet are nonrefundable outside of the 28day period after which the Client has deemed to accept the service provided. All payment disputes or cases of overcharging must be reported to 3DPixelNet within 28 days.

The Client acknowledges that the services provided is of such nature that services can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of 3DPixelNet and that damages resulting from any interruption of service are difficult to ascertain. Thus, the Client agrees that 3DPixelNet shall not be liable for any damages arising from such causes beyond the direct and exclusive control of 3DPixelNet. The Client further acknowledges that 3DPixelNet's liability for its own negligence may not, in any event exceed an amount equivalent to charges payable by the Client for services during the period damages occurred. In no event shall 3DPixelNet be liable for any special or consequential damages, loss or injury.

Transfer of Domains

New webhosting accounts which involve the transfer of a domain from another provider to 3DPixelNet; whether they are FULL transfers or nameserver transfers, will require a period of time to propagate on to 3DPixelNet's DNS servers. In some cases, such transfers may take up to sixty (60) days. Due to the unpredictable nature of the transfer process, no guarantees are made regarding the amount of time a specific transfer may take. It is the responsibility of the Subscriber to cover any administration and/or costs of the domain transfer to our DNS servers. The costs of service commence from the point of purchase and not from the point of apparent DNS completion. If the customer cancels service during the transfer period for any reason, all charges are considered earned. The 28 day refund period however, does commence from the moment the 3DPixelNet DNS servers resolve the domain in question.
