Purpose
Our Reseller Discount Program is designed to allow
businesses to purchase entire hosting accounts for resale.
Enrolment Into The Program
Any Business with an Active Account may apply for
entry into the Program. You will only receive benefits and discounts
under the program if You have submitted an application for reseller
status, and been approved by Us and issued a Reseller ID.
Compliance With General Terms and Conditions
You must ensure that all of Your accounts are kept
in accordance with Our general Terms and Conditions of Service.
You shall be liable for any breach of these terms and conditions
by Your clients. We reserve the right to terminate any account
at Our sole discretion and without notice if the Account Holder
is suspected to have breached the terms and conditions relating
to their Account.
Client Identification
You must ensure that all Account Holders are properly
identified before allowing them to access the Service. It is common
for hackers, spammers and other computer criminals to attempt
to gain access to Internet servers by signing up for web hosting
plans under false names, addresses etc. It is therefore critical
that You ensure that You know the true identity of all clients
before ordering accounts. This can be achieved, for example, by
clearing credit card details (with address-based verification)
before processing an order.
Reselling Disk Space
You may not resell disk space, but may only resell
entire Accounts.
Technical Support
You will provide technical support to your clients.
If requested by You, We will perform technical support tasks on
Your behalf when access to an Account is required. We will provide
further advice and technical support to You when required. However,
You will be expected to be generally self-sufficient in providing
technical support toYour clients.
Billing
You will pay Us directly for all Accounts. Billing
is to be on a monthly basis and payment is required in advance.
You are responsible for collecting any monies due from Your customers.
You may charge Your customers any price You think the market will
bear. You may not charge clients for usage of the free value added
services provided by Us.
In the event that your Account becomes overdue,
we may suspend or cancel any Accounts that You hold under the
Program.
Late Payment
A late payment fee of AUD11.00 will apply to reseller program payments received later than one week past the invoiced due date. In addition, interest at the rate of 0.045% per week will apply on the outstanding amount, until fully settled. We have sole discretion to determine when these fees apply. Failure by Us to apply late payment fees in one instance shall not be considered a waiver of Our rights to apply these fees in future instances.
Reseller Discount
You are required to nominate a main account when
applying for admission to the Program. This account will be billed
at Our retail rate. Reseller Discounts apply only to the monthly
fee of resold accounts.
Service Bundling Rebate
We will provide a rebate of AUD10.00 applied to a hosting account where the primary domain name linked to that account was registered using Our domain registration service. This rebate will only apply where the domain name is registered prior to the hosting account being established.Maximum one rebate per domain name.

variety of reasons. We will not be held liable for any loss or
damage resulting as a result of failing to accept or act on Your
instructions.
Withdrawal From Program
You may withdraw from the program at any time by
giving Us written notice. In such circumstances, any continuing

to, domain name disputes.

no circumstances will We issue You with a refund for domain registration,
