1. INTRODUCTION The Terms and Conditions outlined below govern the contractual relationships between Net4All.ch and the client. Their subject is the web hosting service provided by Net4All.ch and/or the management of domain names in return for payment by Net4All.ch. Net4All.ch reserves the right to modify them at any time, however the client will be informed by email and is entitled to cancel the hosting contract, but may not request any indemnity whatsover 2. HOSTING OFFER Electronic mail is not submitted to the disk space quota made available to the client for their account, and the maximum size authorized for e-mail is 10 Mb. However, e-mails stored in "Deleted items" and "Spam" folders (accessible on Webmail or in IMAP) are deleted after 15 days. The monthly traffic generated by the website is unlimited. The bandwidth allocated to each site is 1024 Kbps. A quota of 1000 sent e-mails an hour is allocated to each website. If this quota is exceeded, the scripts for sending e-mails (PHP and CGI) are automatically blocked. The MySQL database may only be accessed using the server name "localhost", i.e. exclusively from the web server itself. There will be no possible access (via ODBC or Access) from the outside. Persistant connections are not authorized. Log files are deleted periodically; we therefore recommend that clients wishing to keep a record of their log history should download them monthly. 3. SITE MAINTENANCE The design of the site and its maintenance are the responsibility of the client. We do not provide any support for design problems or problems linked to the installation of CGI or PHP scripts. Only technical problems with our servers and our installations will be studied and resolved. Net4All.ch makes weekly backups of servers, but is not responsible for the loss or deterioration of files by the client. We therefore strongly recommend that the client make backups of their site which are not stored on the server itself. Net4All.ch makes daily backups of databases, but is not responsible for the loss or deterioration of databases by the client. We keep a 5-day backup history. Database recovery is possible, although a charge applies. 4. DURATION OF THE CONTRACT The hosting contract is concluded for a minimum of one year (365 days), from the order date. 5. PAYEMENT Payments are to be made by bank transfer, postal order or credit card. The amount must be paid no later than 30 days after receipt of the invoice. Page 3

The client may modify this information at any time from the console. 9. RENEWAL The client will receive an invoice by post 1 month before the end of the hosting contract. A reminder will be sent by e-mail five days before the end of the hosting contract. If no payment has been received by the end of the hosting period, a reminder is sent by post, payable within 10 days from the date of the demand. Two days before the due date of the reminder, you will be called by the invoicing department. Whether or not you answer our phone call, the due date of the reminder is not modified. Page 4
If no payment has been received by the end of the reminder period, the hosting service will be blocked and CHF 50.- (40 / 35) of administrative fees will be added to the inital invoice. The hosting service will only be unblocked when the amount of the invoice plus the CHF 50.- (40 / 35) of administrative fees have been paid and the money is in our bank/postal accounts. These measures can be followed up by legal measures if the outstanding amount should remain unpaid. In the case of two or more reminders in a 12-month period, Net4All.ch will invoice reminder charges of CHF 20.- (16 / 14). 10. CANCELLATION Clients may cancel their account at any time or not less than 30 days before the end of the hosting period by faxing us the "closing an account" form which can be found in the administration console. Their account will then be closed on the date specified and destroyed within 24 working hours. If the client cancels his hosting service before the end of the contract, no refund may be requested, with the exception of clients taking advantage of the money-back guarantee. 11.

In this case, the domain name will be transferred to Net4All.ch s partner. The domain name belongs to the client, Net4All.ch is only responsible for its management. If the web hosting service is cancelled during the 30-day trial period, the client must pay a fee of CHF 40.- ( 32.50/ 27.50), which covers the license fee for the first year and the administrative fees.
