2 The Customer recognises and accepts that:

5 If the Customer’s application for a particular domain name is rejected, TWS will return to the Customer any payments received in respect of that application but TWS shall not be required to do so if the rejection is caused or contributed to by any breach of clause 3 of this Part B or if in TWS’ reasonable opinion it arises by reason of the failure of the Customer to follow any advice given to it by TWS.

SECTION 2 – WEBSITE HOSTING
6 Together with the General Terms, this Section 2 applies to the provision of Web Hosting Services by TWS.
7 The Customer grants to TWS, for the duration of the Contract, a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to host the Customer Website in accordance with the provisions of the Contract, solely for the purposes of providing the Services and availability of the Website over the Internet.
8 The Customer shall be primarily responsible for publishing and updating the Customer Website, where, exceptionally and as part of a technical service request initiated by the Customer and accepted by TWS, TWS agrees to update the Customer website. The Customer will provide all Customer Material which the Customer wishes TWS to post on the Customer Website in a condition which shall be "server-ready" and which requires no additional manipulation on the part of TWS. TWS shall be under no obligation to validate such Customer Material for content, correctness, legality or usability and the Customer shall retain its own copies of all such Customer Material.
9 The Customer recognises that using TWS's Website Hosting Services requires a certain level of knowledge on the Customer’s part in the use of Internet languages, protocols and software. The following examples are offered:

13 The Customer undertakes not to link to any Inappropriate Material from the Customer Website and, where it becomes aware of any link between the Website and any Inappropriate Material agrees to sever that link forthwith.

14.3 harms or would if posted harm the reputation of TWS in any way.
15 TWS's rights to suspend availability of the Customer’s Website and/or remove content under clause 14 of Part B above shall be without prejudice to the Customer’s sole responsibility for content of the Website under clause 11 of Part B and to the warranties given by the Customer relating to that content in clause 12 of Part B. The Customer agrees to co-operate with TWS in relation to the investigation of any allegations falling within the scope of clause 14 of Part B above.
16 Posting of Material by TWS on the Customer Website shall not under any circumstances constitute a waiver of any of its rights in relation to such Material or of its rights in relation to any breach of the Customer’s obligations under the Contract.
17 The Customer undertakes fully to virus-check all data and Material supplied to TWS pursuant to the Contract.
18 The Customer undertakes not to embark on any course of action, whether by use of the Customer Website or any other means, which may cause a disproportionate level of Website activity without providing at least seven day’s prior notice in writing to TWS.

TWS will, where practicable, give the Customer such notice as is reasonably practicable of its intention to operate pursuant to this clause.
20 The Customer will be liable for any excess network traffic over the limit as specified in the Price List or as specified by written quotation’ and in the event of any network traffic attributable to the Customer TWS may charge additional Charges in accordance with clause 4 of Part A above.

22 When sending e-mail, the Customer acknowledges that it is responsible for complying with any Relevant Legislation.
23 The Customer acknowledges that all e-mails sent via TWS’s network are automatically anti-spam and anti-virus scanned and TWS reserves the right to use whichever software programs it chooses to perform such scans.
24 Notwithstanding clause 23 of Part B, the Customer acknowledges that TWS is not responsible for the security of the contents of e-mail sent or received by the Customer.

26 TWS's policy is to respect the privacy of e-mail messages sent, received forwarded or otherwise dealt with by it and the Customer acknowledges that TWS will therefore not monitor, edit or disclose the contents of such messages unless required to do so by law or competent authority or to protect TWS's rights and/or position and that it will maintain as Confidential Information any email messages it does monitor.

SECTION 4 – CREDIT AND DEBIT CARD PROCESSING
27 Together with the General Terms, Section 4 applies to the provision of E-commerce and Credit and Debit Card Processing (EcomMerchant) services by TWS.
28 The following definitions will apply to this Section 4 in addition to those set out in the General Terms:
- Credit or Debit Card Processing - The service offered by TWS whereby TWS acts as an intermediary between the Customer and an Acquiring Bank allowing debit card and credit card payments to be accepted through the Customer’s Website and other means such as over the telephone;
- Minimum Term/Period             - The minimum agreement term for the EcomMerchant service will be twelve months unless agreed in writing by TWS;
- EcomMerchant                    - Service provided by TWS for the purpose of Credit or Debit Card Processing;
- Merchant                        - Customer (these terms are used interchangeably);
- Shopping Basket                 - Software usually residing on a customers’ web site for the purpose of cataloguing products or services for sale by the customer; and
- Plug-in                         - Software providing integration between a Shopping Basket and the EcomMerchant service for Credit or Debit Card Processing.
29 TWS is an accredited Payment Service Provider approved by several Acquiring Banks to provide Credit and Debit Card Processing over the Internet, over the telephone and various other methods including using a Chip and Pin Terminal. TWS will maintain its high standard in security by renewing its accreditation as a Payment Card Industry accredited company each year. TWS has put in place various security procedures to maintain the Credit Card Processing Services and TWS’s systems are as secure as possible, including the use of the Payment Card Industry Security standard to encrypt personal information including credit and debit card details.

Nature of Services and Use of Services
30 In providing Card Processing Services TWS acts as an intermediary facilitating the authorization of credit and debit cards between the Customer and the Acquiring Bank. The Customer acknowledges that TWS does not provide the settlement (payment of authorised cards into the customers bank account) for cards processed through their merchant account but instead passes this to the Acquiring Bank with whom the customer has a separate agreement.
31 In order to use the Credit and Debit Card Processing Services the Customer must:
31.1 obtain and maintain an Internet Merchant account (this can be facilitated by TWS) from an Acquiring Bank and bear any associated costs in regards to setting up and maintaining the account;
31.2 set-up such merchant accounts as are required to accept transactions in currencies other than sterling as it deems necessary; and
31.3 obtain any and all necessary consents, approvals and permissions from its customers and the Acquiring Bank to allow TWS to provide the Credit or Debit Card Processing services in accordance with the Contract.
and the Customer indemnifies TWS in respect of any breach of its obligations under this clause.
32 The Customer must not, whilst using the EcomMerchant Services, store credit or debit card data on their own hosted web space. Although TWS stores the credit and debit card data within the confines of its secure network it is possible that customers using the API mechanism can store card data prior to it reaching TWS’s network. In these instances the Customer agrees not to store card data unless this has been agreed by a PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and a copy of the accreditation has been supplied to TWS.
33 The Customer agrees not to divulge any account login information (such as passwords) it uses in connection with the operation of the EcomMerchant Services to anyone who does not need it in the course of their duties.
34 The Customer agrees not to authorize a credit or debit card for a second or subsequent time without the prior agreement of its own customer (the cardholder).
35 If the Customer is using API method to authorize credit or debit cards through TWS’s system then the part of the Customer’s website into which the purchaser enters its credit card details needs to be secured with a valid trusted 128-bit SSL digital certificate. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that this data is secured in this manner and failure to do so will result in immediate suspension of the EcomMerchant Services.
36 TWS will, at its discretion, supply a control panel accessible over the Internet, to enable its EcomMerchant customers to examine successful and unsuccessful transactions processed through the customers merchant account. It may also offer technical and accounting support so that customers can reconcile any technical or administrative problems that occur from time to time.

Testing And Shopping Basket Integration
37 The Customer will allow TWS to use their Merchant Account for testing and technical support purposes. TWS reserves the right to test the operation of the service to authorize live and test transactions through the Customer’s account via their website, merchant control panel or other mechanism. TWS will notify and endeavour to seek the permission of the Customer first. TWS will refund or reverse any live or test transactions it makes. TWS will not be held liable for any products/services shipped/provided as a result of its testing.
38 Shopping Basket plug-ins are provided as is and TWS offers no guarantee of their operational stability or security. Most plug-ins are developed by third-parties and even those that are developed by TWS are provided on the basis that TWS is not held liable for any loss of profit or for any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage, costs, expenses or other claims for compensation whatsoever which arise out of or in connection with the supply of a plug-in.
39 Should a customer wish to use an alternative shopping basket then it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the shopping basket plug-in is compatible with our EcomMerchant service. TWS will not be held liable for any costs associated with transferring to an alternate shopping basket and the customer accepts that this does not constitute a change to this agreement in whole or in part.
40 Changing shopping basket to an alternative provider part way through the minimum period will result in an administration fee and will require the customer to re-test and re-integrate their shopping basket software with the EcomMerchant service. Changing shopping basket in no way constitutes a resetting of the minimum period or rescinds this agreement in whole or in part.
41 Shopping Basket plug-in versions may differ from version to version of the shopping basket software. The customer accepts that when a particular shopping basket plug-in is supplied by TWS or the shopping basket vendor that this is compatible with the EcomMerchant service as well as the specific Shopping Basket version.
42 A small number of vendors charge for Shopping Basket plug-ins and TWS will not cover any costs associated with the acquisition of a plug-in for use by the customer with the EcomMerchant service. It is solely the customers decision as to which Shopping Basket is used and therefore the customer accepts and agrees to pay any vendor charges arising out of the use of that vendors’ software.
43 It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure any issues or problems with their operation of the EcomMerchant service are addressed during the account testing phase. TWS provide a minimum of service tests which the customer must pass before an account is put live but also expect customers to do their own extensive testing to confirm shopping basket plug-in compatibility and system operation.

Term and Cancellation
44 The Customer must agree to a minimum of twelve months (the minimum period) from the date TWS creates either their live or test EcomMerchant account on the TWS systems, being in receipt of their Internet Merchant Account. Customers are notified via email when their account has been created. Any free period offered on the commencement of this initial twelve month minimum term will extend the minimum term by the free period offered. For instance a free period offered of one month will mean the minimum term of thirteen months is expected.
45 Cancellation by the customer within the minimum period will result in a cancellation charge equivalent to the remainder of the minimum term. This charge is calculated by the cost of all services enabled under the EcomMerchant service at the time of cancellation multiplied by the remainder of the minimum term in months or £50+VAT, which ever is the greater. A minimum notice period of 30 days must be given prior to cancellation being accepted and their account being disabled.
46 Cancellation by the customer outside the minimum period will require a minimum 30 days notices after the end of the month the customer provided notice in writing to cancel. So should the customer cancel on the 1st of the month then cancellation of their account would take place at the end of the following month.
47 TWS reserves the right to cancel the EcomMerchant Service supplied to the Customer giving 30 days’ notice in writing. TWS will not be held liable for any costs associated with obtaining a competing service elsewhere.
48 Cancellation can also be instigated by the Acquiring Bank and in this event cancellation may take place in accordance with their terms. Any TWS cancellation charges will still be charged to the customer in this instance.
49 The EcomMerchant service agreement runs concurrently and therefore cannot be paused and subsequently restarted during the minimum or cancellation period.

Payment
50 Payment will be collected by Direct Debit for any charges incurred using the EcomMerchant service. Other payment methods will incur additional administration charges.
51 Any service enabled under the EcomMerchant service caries with it a monthly service fee (i.e. Recurring Payments) which is payable regardless of how many days that service has been active in a given month. Once enabled that particular service is chargeable and no pro-rata refund will be given for services only enabled for part of a given month or indeed any service cancelled part-way through a given month. A minimum service of either ECOM or MOTO is expected to maintain the EcomMerchant service operation.

Scheduled and emergency maintenance
52 Scheduled and emergency maintenance will be carried out on the system of up to a combined two hours a month. This is for updates and patches to be applied to the servers. Any scheduled or emergency maintenance will be posted on the TWS status page and / or the EcomMerchant News section.

Liability
53 TWS shall not be liable to the Customer by reason of any representation (unless fraudulent), or any implied warranty, condition or other term, or any duty at common law, or under the express terms of the contract, for loss of profit or for any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage, costs, expenses or other claims for compensation whatsoever (whether caused by the negligence of TWS, its employees or agents or otherwise) which arise out of or in connection with the supply of the EcomMerchant Services (including any delay in supplying or any failure to supply in accordance with the contract or at all) and the entire liability of TWS under or in connection with the contract for EcomMerchant Services shall not exceed TWS’s charges to the Customer over the previous month, or, if greater, its average monthly charge to the Customer, except as expressly provided in these Terms. This clause 44 shall take precedence over clause 10.7.
54 For the avoidance of doubt, in no circumstances will TWS be liable to the Customer for any loss of profit, business or anticipated savings suffered by the Customer as a result of:
54.1 the Customer’s failure to obtain or maintain an Internet Merchant Account with the Acquiring Bank;
54.2 failure of the Acquiring Bank to authorise any Credit or Debit Card transaction;
54.3 failure of TWS to authorise any Credit or Debit Card transactions (unscheduled downtime) as a result of a Denial Of Service Attack or other external factors outside its own control;
54.4 late or incorrect settlement of any Credit or Debit Card transactions by the Acquiring Bank irrespective of whether the mistake has arisen as a result of incorrect and/or insufficient information provided by TWS. TWS will always attempt to rectify any defective settlement in a timely manner;
54.5 fraud committed in the course of a Credit or Debit Card transaction (howsoever committed) SAVE THAT TWS shall be liable to the Customer for loss, damages, costs, claims and expenses arising solely as a result of fraud committed by TWS or its employees or officers.
55 The Customer acknowledges that the information provided by its customers is not checked by TWS and, accordingly, that TWS cannot be held liable for the accuracy of such information.
56 TWS will endeavour to keep up with industry changes but shall not be liable for any damages arising out of not being able to implement new technology such as new anti-fraud measures like 3-D Secure.
57 TWS makes no warranty or representation of any kind in relation to any processing of any Credit or Debit Card transactions by the Acquiring Bank.
58 TWS shall not be liable for any chargebacks the Customer experiences during the use of the EcomMerchant Services. Chargebacks are the responsibility of the Merchant (the Customer) unless a liability shift has occurred in the case of a 3-D Secure transaction.
59 With the permission of the Customer TWS may make modifications to the Customer’s website to facilitate the integration into TWS’s EcomMerchant service. In this instance TWS cannot be held liable for incorrect operation of the Customer’s website due to the modifications as TWS always recommends that the Customer implements these changes itself.
60 The customer agrees to maintain its own PCI Accreditation in accordance with PCI standards as determined by the customers' QSA. TWS will not be held liable for any charges levied by the Acquiring Bank, resulting from the customers failure to achieve or maintain its required level of PCI accreditation;
61 Nothing in these terms shall restrict TWS’s liability in respect of death or personal injury caused by TWS’s negligence, or liability for its own fraud.

Fraud
62 The Customer agrees that in the event of any breach in security on their merchant account they will facilitate any investigation into the breach should their merchant account be involved in the fraud.
63 TWS will provide all reasonable assistance to the Customer should they have experienced fraud on their account.
64 The Customer agrees to accept TWS’s anti-fraud mechanisms as a way to protect its customers from fraudulent activity. This may mean on occasions that credit cards processed through its system will be either declined or rejected if the TWS Anti-Fraud Engine considers the transaction to be possible fraud. These are very measured and controlled facilities, which the Customer will have some control over.

Batched Transactions
65 TWS will submit all transactions to the Merchant’s bank for processing subsequent to the end of each day (Settlement). TWS cannot be held liable for settlement not reaching the Acquiring Bank the day after transactions have taken place however will submit the transactions within one month of the transactions taking place. Settlement is usually sent the following day however on occasion it is not possible to submit this because of technical issues between TWS's systems and that of the Acquiring Bank., resulting in delayed settlement.

Administration Fees
66 TWS reserves the right to charge an administration fee over and above its standard service tariffs for the following:
66.1 The change of customer bank account where funds are settled. An administration charge of £20 will be levied.
66.2 The change of Acquiring Bank used in the processing of credit and debit card transactions. An administration charge of £20 will be levied;
66.3 The change (from the original integration) of the shopping cart used to process Internet Credit or Debit card transactions through the customers EcomMerchant account. An administration charge of £20 will be levied;
66.4 The provision of verbose log information against specific transactions conducted through the customers EcomMerchant account. Log information such as MPI 3D Secure logs or Web Server log information. An administration charge of £20 per instance will be levied;
66.5 Failed or incomplete transactions where we believe a customers EcomMerchant account is being mismanaged and resulting in a high number of failed or incomplete transactions. Typically an EcomMerchant account that has more failed or incomplete transactions (combined) than successful transactions is being mismanaged and will result in a per transaction charge equivalent to a successful per transaction charge for all failed or incomplete transactions in a given month;
66.6 When an EcomMerchant account in test goes over a ninety day period then an administration fee of £20 will be levied to re-activate the test account;
66.7 Customer negligence in the use of the EcomMerchant Service. For example, a customer would be deemed negligent if it were to inform TWS’s technical support team that it believes there has been a card processed through its account which it knows nothing about, but technical support, after investigating the problem thoroughly finds out that one of the customer’s staff had logged into the EcomMerchant account to process the card manually and not informed anyone. An administration charge of £20 would be levied;

SECTION 5 – BROADBAND
67 Together with the General Terms, Section 5 applies to the provision of Broadband Services provided by TWS. Line Provider and Broadband Provider are used interchangeably in this section.
68 TWS uses varying different Broadband Providers for the provision of its Broadband Services. To use the Broadband Service the Customer will require as a minimum an appropriate fixed telephone or fibre line. TWS is not responsible for disruptions to networks provided to it in the provision of its broadband services. If the Customer encounters any problems with the same it should contact the Line Provider such as BT or request that TWS raise a query with the Line Provider on the Customer’s behalf. There maybe an associated cost for the same which the Customer agrees to pay should it request that TWS raise a query on their behalf.
69 The Customer acknowledges that the provision of Broadband Services will be subject to a technical feasibility survey by TWS and is subject to the successful activation of the Broadband Service to the Customer. If the survey informs TWS that the supply of Broadband is not technically feasible or it is unable to carry out the survey or activate the Broadband service TWS will inform the Customer and end the Order for Broadband Services without charge to the Customer (refunding any Charges already received from the Customer in respect of the effected Order for Broadband Services).
70 If the Broadband Provider increases its charges to TWS in connection with the Broadband Services, such increase will be passed on to the Customer, provided that TWS gives to the Customer 28 days’ notice in writing of its intention to increase the Charges for the Broadband Services. Within 7 days of receiving such notice the Customer may notify TWS in writing that it wishes to terminate the Contract in respect of the Broadband Services with effect from the date of any proposed change to the Charges and TWS may then choose to alter the Charges, withdraw the notice, or accept the Customer’s notice of termination.
71 The Broadband Service supplied by TWS to the Customer shall be subject to its Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP) available for download from its web site.
72 The Customer undertakes to use the Broadband Services for business purposes only and to not use the Services for inappropriate purposes such as file sharing.
73 If the Customer is in breach of clause 44 of Part B above, TWS may (in addition to its other rights contained in these Terms) in its sole discretion suspend, restrict or terminate the availability of Broadband Services to the Customer.
74 The Customer is responsible for configuring and managing its own firewalls and for taking all precautions necessary to secure its network connected to our Broadband Service.
75 Any equipment provided to the Customer in connection with the Broadband Services is owned and supplied to TWS by third party suppliers and any warranties applying to such equipment will be provided by the relevant third party supplier.
