You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this site and this AGREEMENT periodically and to be aware of any modifications.

Contact information means any data relating to your identity, electronic mail, and street address, or telephone and fax number, or any other information that you provide to PureMac Pty Ltd in order to receive or to continue receiving services. Further, you agree to provide PureMac Pty Ltd with updated contact information within a reasonable period of time following the change in circumstance that creates the need for updated information.

Payments and Fees
Establishment of this service is dependent upon receipt by PureMac Pty Ltd of payment of stated charges. Subsequent payments are due on a recurring date that coincides with the date of sign up. The accepted methods of payment are credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express). Clients are responsible for any additional transaction fees that coincide with any payment methods. The Company reserves the right to deny Client the use of any payment method for, but not limited to, abuse or misuse of a payment method. Abuse of a payment method may also be grounds for further disciplinary action up to and including the immediate and permanent cancellation of the Client's services or their entire account with The Company. Credit cards that are declined for any reason are subject to a $2.00 declination fee. Service will be interrupted on accounts that reach 7 days past due. Service interrupted for nonpayment is subject to a $50 reconnect charge. Accounts not paid by due date are subject to a $10 late fee. Accounts that are not collectible by PureMac Pty Ltd may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection. If you desire to cancel your account, please follow the proper procedure as outlined in this AGREEMENT. If a service is deactivated due to non-payment the service in question will only be reactivated once payment for the outstanding balance has been received in full. If all services on an active account are deactivated all outstanding invoices must be paid in full before any one service will be reactivated. The Company reserves the right to keep a service deactivated until funds paid have cleared.

Account Cancellation
Client must submit service cancellation request in writing (email is ok) to the following email address: support@puremac.com.au or sales@puremac.com.au no less than 7 days prior to the end of a billing cycle. Only the authorised account holder may cancel the account. PureMac does not credit or pro rata month hosting fees so any time after the billing cycle a full month will be charged.

Client shall not be entitled to any refunds, pro-rated or otherwise, in the event of early termination of this agreement by The Company according to the terms herein.

Clients of PureMac Pty Ltd may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by UCE from other networks. In addition, it is not acceptable to transmit bulk email through remote SOCKS, HTTP or other similar proxies who in turn make a SMTP connection to the destination mail servers. This technique may result in account suspension or termination. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service. In order to prevent unnecessary blacklisting due to spam we reserve the right to occasionally sample bulk email being sent from servers.
  • Violation of PureMac Pty Ltd's email policy, as outlined in the Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") will result in severe penalties. Upon notification of an alleged violation of our AUP, PureMac Pty Ltd will initiate an immediate investigation (within 48 hours of notification). During the investigation, PureMac Pty Ltd may restrict Client access to the network to prevent further violations. If a Client is found to be in violation of our AUP, PureMac Pty Ltd may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate Client's account. Further, PureMac Pty Ltd reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation. PureMac Pty Ltd will notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal offence.
  • First violations of this policy will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $250 and your account will be reviewed for possible immediate termination. A second violation will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $500 and immediate termination of your account. Users who violate this policy agree that in addition to these "Administrative" penalties, they will pay "Research Fees" not to exceed $175 per hour that PureMac Pty Ltd personnel must spend to investigate the matter.

  • Denial of Service - The launching or facilitating the launch of a denial of service (DoS) attack on any host or computer on the PureMac Pty Ltd network for any reason whatsoever, or the use of any PureMac Pty Ltd network resource to interfere with the legitimate use by Clients or other authorised users of resources of the PureMac Pty Ltd network or any other network is strictly prohibited.

As soon as practical after performing such work, PureMac Pty Ltd will advise, by email, the Client of the work performed or the action taken.

Bandwidth (web hosting and email clients only. does not apply to Daylite, Billings Pro or MoneyWorks clients.)

Client agrees that bandwidth usage shall not exceed the number of gigabytes per month for the services ordered by Client. PureMac Pty Ltd will monitor Client's bandwidth usage and will provide RTG graphs of bandwidth usage for Client to review in the PureMac Pty Ltd client portal. PureMac Pty Ltd shall have the right to take corrective action if Client's bandwidth usage exceeds the amount allocated by Client's service plan ("Allocation"). Such corrective action may include the assessment of additional charges, disconnection or discontinuance of any and all services, or termination of this agreement, which actions may be taken is in PureMac Pty Ltd's sole and absolute discretion. PureMac Pty Ltd believes in communicating with our clients and will try to work with our clients to resolve any overage issues before taking action which could cause a client's service to become unavailable.
Bandwidth usage is measured on a monthly basis coinciding with Client's billing cycle. Both incoming and outgoing traffic are counted towards the total number of gigabytes per month for the services ordered by Client.
In the event that a Client exceeds the included allocation, PureMac Pty Ltd may, at its sole discretion, collect a deposit in the amount of $0.10 per GB for the projected overage for the month, immediately against Client's credit card on file with PureMac Pty Ltd.
Client agrees to pay PureMac Pty Ltd any additional fees for bandwidth overages within 30 days of the invoicing period at a rate of $0.10 per GB of bandwidth used over the Allocation. Any bandwidth overage bill not paid within thirty (30) days of invoicing will subject the server and services to suspension.
Unused bandwidth allocations cannot be carried over to future months, or applied to other servers or accounts.


Resale of Services
Clients are not permitted to re-sell or on sell any PureMac hosted service. Any breach will result in immediate service termination.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PureMac Pty Ltd from any and all liability, damage, lost of data, interruption to business arising from the installation of or upgrading of all and any applications and or services provided to PureMac Pty Ltd.

Transfer Service
PureMac Pty Ltd performs all account transfers, account moves, cPanel transfers, server transfers and any other service which involves PureMac Pty Ltd copying files of yours from a third party service to your PureMac Pty Ltd service, hereafter known as a "transfer" as a paid service.

By requesting PureMac Pty Ltd to perform a transfer you agree to indemnify and hold harmless PureMac Pty Ltd from any and all liability arising from the transfer and/or copying of your accounts. You also agree PureMac Pty Ltd is not responsible for any issues relating to the transfer of your database, email, Web service or any other undefined service or system, both on your PureMac Pty Ltd service and at any other third party service from which PureMac Pty Ltd may be transferring your accounts from, including but not limited to, missing or corrupted files, improperly transferred accounts, corrupt backup files or Daylite database conversions or upgrades, any and all fees you may incur from third party services such as bandwidth fees or charges from delays in transferring account, settings or files from third party providers which may not transferred, any downtime or outages, DNS problems, accounts set up on incorrect IP addresses, any issues at third party services which delay or prevent PureMac Pty Ltd from performing the service, or any other issues.

Excessive Upgrades and Downgrades

PureMac Pty Ltd does not normally charge any fees for account upgrades and downgrades. However, because upgrading and downgrading between virtualized accounts (such as VPS and Hybrid) and full dedicated server accounts, is a labor-intensive and time consuming process, as is changing the primary disk in dedicated servers, PureMac Pty Ltd reserves the right to charge for upgrades and downgrades at the hourly rate of $175 per hour if Client has made an excessive number of upgrade or downgrade requests. PureMac Pty Ltd, at it's sole discretion, will have the final say as to what is considered 'excessive'.
Individual Server Colocation space
The Client will be responsible for the delivery of the Equipment. PureMac Pty Ltd is responsible of the initial installation of the equipment in the individual server space.

Emergency access can be arranged outside business hours, the Client will pay for emergency access requests in accordance to the emergency hourly rate in effect.

Insurance
Under no circumstances will PureMac Pty Ltd be obligated to provide insurance coverage for any applications or data owned by the Client and hosted by PureMac Pty Ltd. Clients are required to provide their own insurance for business continuity and or data loss and or business disruption. The Client indemnifies PureMac from any responsibility loss or liability therein.

Damages
Client acknowledges that the service provided is of such a nature that service can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of The Company and that damages resulting from any interruption of service are difficult to ascertain. Therefore, Client agrees that the company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such causes beyond the direct and exclusive control of The Company. Client further acknowledges that the Company's liability for its own negligence may not in any event exceed an amount equivalent to charges payable by Client for services during the period damages occurred. In no event shall The Company be liable for any special or consequential damages, loss or injury. PureMac Pty Ltd is not responsible for any damages your business may suffer. PureMac Pty Ltd does not make implied or written warranties for any of our services. PureMac Pty Ltd denies any warranty or merchantability for a specific purpose.
