Terms of service - General terms and conditions

  • 3Elephants reserves the right to refuse service and /or access to its servers to anyone.

    • Illegal Material - This includes copyrighted works, commercial audio, video, or music files, and any material in violation of any UK legislation.

Unlimited use policy
High bandwidth usage: 3Elephants offers an unlimited use policy by maintaining very large ratios of bandwidth per customer. In rare cases, 3Elephants may find a customer to be using server resources to such an extent that he or she may jeopardise server performance and resources for other customers. In such instances, 3Elephants 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 150MB

High resource use policy
Resources are defined as bandwidth, processor utilisation or disk space.
3Elephants may implement the following policy to its sole discretion:

When a website is found to be monopolising the resources available 3Elephants reserves the right to suspend that site immediately. This policy is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers. Customers may be offered an option whereby 3Elephants continues hosting the website for an additional fee.

Payment policies
All business accounts are set up on a prepay basis. Although 3Elephants Virtual office 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 each anniversary year or month following the date the account was established.
In addition, 3Elephants Virtual office reserves the right to suspend, with the contract resolution, other services until the outstanding debt is cleared.
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.
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.

In order to streamline our accounting procedures and keep costs down 3Elephants currently runs a limited number of payment options.

  • Credit / Debit Cards: 3Elephants conveniently accept: Visa, Master Card, Amex, Delta, Electron, Switch, Solo, via our payment provider Pay Pal.
  • Cheque Payment: This option is available to business customers who pay annually for their 3Elephants account. A credit/debit card number will still be required if customers require the facility to purchase domains and other services on-line.

3Elephants cannot guarantee that a service will be provided before cheques have been cleared.

Cancellation and refunds
3Elephants Virtual office reserves the right to cancel the service at any time.
