The following constitute our terms of business and form an Agreement between the Client and Dreambox Web Design. These terms of business apply to hosting plans, domain name registration, design and any paid services provided by Dreambox Web Design, High Powburn, Powburn, Alnwick NE66 4HP. The relationship entered into between Dreambox and the Client is governed by these terms, known as the Agreement.

Domain Registration

We make no representation that the domain name you wish to register is capable of being registered or that it will be registered in your name. You should therefore not assume registration of your requested domain until you have been notified that it has been registered. Any action taken by you before such notification is at your own risk.

Domains will initially be registered in the name of Dreambox accounts but will remain the property of the Client.

The registration and use of your domain name is subject to the terms and conditions of use applied by the relevant Registrar; you shall ensure that you are aware of those terms and conditions and that you comply with them.

By registering a .uk domain name, you enter into a contract of registration with Nominet UK on the terms and conditions published at http://www.nominet.org.uk. You shall have no right to bring any claim against Dreambox in respect of any refusal to register a domain name by the relevant registration authority. A domain registered with a company in another country is governed by the contract of registration with te body authorised by that country.

Payment for domain registration needs to be made in advance of any registration and is wholly non-refundable under any circumstance.

We shall have no liability in respect of the use by you of any domain name; any dispute between you and any other person must be resolved between the parties concerned in such a dispute. If any such dispute arises, we shall be entitled, at our discretion and without giving any reason, to withhold, suspend or cancel the domain name. We shall also be entitled to make representations to the relevant Registra but will not be obliged to take part in any such dispute.

We shall not release any domain to another provider unless full payment for that domain has been received. DNS details are changed free-of-charge however, domain rights or IPS Tags will only be changed free of charge if the Client can prove the new host/registrar provides lower renewal fees than Dreambox. If the Client is unable to prove there is such a cost saving to be had, we will charge the Client the equivalent of 1 year of domain charges for domain rights or IPS Tag amendment.


Web Hosting

We make no representation and give no warranty as to the accuracy or quality of information received by any person via the servers and we shall have no liability for any loss or damage to any data stored on the servers.

The Client represents, undertakes and warrants to use any web space only for lawful purposes and that;

Design/Paid Support

Payment for paid projects will be due once both parties have confirmed the project completion, or, after three months from the date the project was first instructed, whichever is the earliest.

In the event of late payment, Dreambox reserves the right to restrict or terminate services and / or invoice for additional late payment charges at a rate of 10% of total costs per calendar month of late payment, with the minimum of a 1 month charge. The design copyright shall be considered purchased by the customer upon payment in full of all agreed costs. Until such time, the copyright remains with Dreambox.

Without prior approval,  Dreambox reserves the right to promote or link to (but not from) any web page designed on behalf of a Client. Dreambox  will not advertise or make any promotion on Client pages unless approved and agreed by the Client.  Reoccurring fees are limited to hosting and domain registration services at the rates advertised when they fall due. A new design requirement would incur a charge to be agreed between client and Dreambox.

Without prejudice to our other rights and remedies under this Agreement, if any sum payable is not paid on or before the due date, we shall be entitled but not obliged, to suspend the provision of services forthwith.
