When at all possible, set permissions on most directories to 755 or as restrictive as possible. Users are ultimately responsible for all actions taken under their account. This includes the compromise of credentials such as username and password. It is required that you use a secure password. If a weak password is used, your account may be suspended until you agree to use a more secure password. Audits may be done to prevent weak passwords from being used. If an audit is performed, and your password is found to be weak, we will notify you and allow time for you to change/update your password.
E-Mail Policy
We take a zero-tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail, bulk emailing, and spam. "Safe lists" and "double opt-in" will be treated as spam. Any user who sends out spam will have their account terminated with or without notice.
1. There is a 500 hourly email limit per domain this limit is also applied towards mailman. If you send over this amount in an hour most of the e-mails will bounce back with an undeliverable error. You are welcome to contact us if you need this limit relaxed for your account. The company retained the right to adjust this limit at its own discretion.
2. Many of our servers have a 60 pop checks per hour limit per domain. If you go over this you're likely to get a wrong password error message saying login incorrect. Just wait an hour and it will automatically unlock you. to prevent this from happening again make sure to set your auto checking to something reasonable such as 10 minutes.
3. Any mailing list larger than 5,000 will require a VPS or dedicated hosting solution from us. Note: dividing one large list into smaller lists to get below this limit is not allowed.
Mailing Lists Rules
1. Anytime you're sending a message no matter how large your e-mail list is you must throttle it. We recommend you throttle it to at the very least sending 1 email every 6 seconds. If the mailing list software you're using does not allow you to throttle you must switch to something else. We recommend phplist which can be found in your control panel under fantastico. If you do not throttle and you try sending let's say 500 emails the server will try sending all 500 in 1 second which is not possible. This will cause the server load to go very high and for the entire server to be sluggish until this process is completed. It is our job to keep the server up and running without being sluggish. Anyone who causes the servers load to go high will be suspended and the process will be terminated. If you choose not to throttle you will most likely be suspended for crashing the server.
2. Any mailing list over 900 emails is only allowed to be sent to during off-peak times to prevent high server loads. Off peak times qualify as all day Saturday and Sunday, and 1 am - 8 am GMT.
3. You are not allowed to mail to a mailing list you were given or purchased. This is spamming because the recipient never agreed to you personally sending them mail. We do not care how you justify it. This is spam and will result in termination of the offending account.
4. Any unsolicited e-mail being sent will result in termination of the offending account. We take a zero-tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail.
5. Any mailing list MUST comply with all guidelines set forth by the United Kingdom and European Union.
6. No Direct SMTP mailers are allowed. An example of this is DarkMailer. Any mail should be relayed through the local MTA (localhost:25) for further delivery by the server and not done directly by scripts.
7. Sites advertised via SPAM (Spamvertised) may not be hosted on our servers. This provision includes, but is not limited to SPAM sent via fax, email, instant messaging, or usenet/newsgroups. No organization or entity listed in the ROKSO may be hosted on our servers. Any account which results in our IP space being blacklisted will be immediately suspended and/or terminated.
8. the Company reserves the right to require changes or disable as necessary any web site, account, database, or other components that do not comply with its established policies or to make any such modifications in an emergency at its sole discretion.
9. the Company reserves the right to charge the holder of the account used to send any unsolicited e-mail a cleanup fee. This cost of the cleanup fee is entirely at the discretion of the Company.

Free Domain
1. If the client qualified for a free domain (quarterly payments), the company will retain ownership of the domain until after the minimum contract period expired. The domain will then be transferred to the rightful owner, the client. Upon transfer, it becomes the responsibility of the client to ensure the domain is renewed and paid for as and when required.
2. Minimum contract for a free domain is 12 months uninterrupted payments on a quarterly basis. These payments must reach the company on or before the due date as stipulated on the invoice.
3. In the event that the client cancels the account or fails to make a payment on time the company retains the ownership of the domain and may use, sell or allow the domain to become expired. In such an event the company can not be held liable for loss of income or any other loss as a result of the domain name not being available.
4. The Company retains the right to decide if it will give any credit or discount if the client does not want a new domain at the time of purchasing the software licence. If any discount is given it will be to the value of the cheapest domain tld at the time.

  .com, .co.uk, .net, .biz and .info
  The company retains the right to amend this list at any time.
Suitability
1. The Company does not guarantee that XMS Systems will be suitable in all circumstances. Nor does the Company guarantee the software is entirely bug-free.
2. After initial consultation and demonstration, the client will usually be invited to test the Software by registering an account at a given URL that will be supplied to the client.
3. Alternatively, a copy of the software might be installed for the client to access and further test the suitability of the software. The URL for this will be supplied to the client.
  
  The Client may use the test installation to
  1. test the suitability of the software
  2. register additional accounts for staff member within the organisation to test the software
  3. use this installation to populate the new website until such time as the website is ready for publication or replacing the client's current website
4. It is the Clients responsibility to evaluate the software for suitability before a copy is installed on the hosting account or the Domain Name Servers are updated for an existing domain. The Company does not take responsibility for lost information if the software needs to replace an existing website.
5. The Development team attempts to ensure all pages work and look as intended on all available Internet browsers. However, with the vast list of available browsers, it is not always possible to achieve this. It is recommended that the administrators use the latest stable release of Google Chrome as the browser of choice when working in the Administration section.
Quality Control
1. In our quest to make the software user-friendly and totally bug-free we have built in some functionality to report all errors generated and displayed by the website via email. That includes mistakes made by users that generates an error. No personal information is included in this report other than what page the user was on when the error was generated and a summary of the error generated.
2. Initially, with a new installation, we will monitor all log-in's and emails sent from the website to ensure everything works as intended.
3. This will be reduced to email reports being sent to the company only when someone with administration access logs on to the website. This is purely to assist you with security management and to ensure the integrity of the security is maintained.
Customisation
1. Minor customisation can be made to the software on request. This will usually be suggested by the Company during or after the initial consultation or shortly thereafter.
2. The Company retains the right to refuse any customisation that it thinks will jeopardise the security or functionality of the software. To maintain integrity and functionality of the software it might not be possible to customise certain pages or sections of the software.
3. This customisation is usually covered by the initial payment for your XMS Systems Licence
4. The Company retains the Intellectual Property Rights to any customisation and may include this in future upgrades to the software that will be distributed to all installations of the Software.
Custom Development
1. Custom development can be undertaken by the development team and is payable at £40.00 GBP per hour. At the discretion of the developers of the software, this fee might be waived if the custom developed module can be used by other users of the software and or will enhance the functionality of the software.
2. The Company retains the Intellectual Property Rights to any custom development that integrates with the software and may include this in future upgrades to the software that will be distributed to all installations of the Software.
3. Using this approach the Software will always have new features and functionality. The Company retains the right to charge existing users for new modules that become available. Development and testing take time and resources.
Provision of content / information

No company/user of the Software will have any claim to Intellectual Property Right on any ideas or suggestion that is / might be incorporated into the Software.
Upgrades
1. Periodically the software will connect to a central database to check for new upgrades and patches to the software. The Client will be notified in the Administration Home Page if any upgrades are available. Installation of these upgrades would usually take the form of the Administrator having to click a button. The company endeavours to have these upgrades totally bug free, but because of the complexity and variables outside of our control (different browsers), it is not always possible. The quality control should alert us if anything goes wrong.
2. If the client is unsure or not comfortable doing these upgrades themselves the company undertakes to implement the upgrade on the client's behalf.
3. With complex upgrades, the company will always do these upgrades on the client's behalf.
4. The company retains the right to remove any module from future upgrades if it deems such module to be at the "end of life" or if there is a possibility that such module may compromise security or integrity of the software.
5. It remains the client's responsibility to always read the upgrade notes BEFORE upgrading their software installation as any customisation the client's software might be overwritten by an upgrade.
Backups
Although the company holds weekly backups of all websites and software installed on the servers it is the client's responsibility to ensure they have current backups in place. These backups can be made from the hosting control panel and need to be downloaded and stored on the client's computer. The client should never rely on the company to maintain current backups.
Support and Training
1. As with any new software, there will be a period of uncertainty for the user. To ensure your website looks good and functions as intended the Company will, from time to time review your website pages and suggest changes. The company might from time to time log in and correct any formatting and layout mistakes.
2. Support and training are given via email, Facebook Messanger voice calls and Teamviewer or AnyDesk as it is not always practically possible to travel to the client.
