- Acceptable Use Policy. In exceptional circumstances, Kuki may cancel or suspend the running of the Clients’ website. Exceptional circumstances include, but are not limited to, the submission to Kuki of false or misleading information by the Client in an application for registration of a domain name; breach of this contract by the Client; situations where registration or the hosting/running of the website would, in Kukis’ opinion, put Kuki in breach of statutory or regulatory obligations or the terms of any court order; or where continued registration, hosting or operation of a particular domain name would conflict with Kuki’s policies on registration and use of domain names in the register of domain names which is in force at that time. The Client indemnifies Kuki from any claims arising from the Clients’ website content.
A Client understands that failure to supply true and correct data may result in Kuki cancelling or suspending the running of their website without notice. If the Client does not pay the fees for the ongoing running of their website (including but not limited to license fees, web development fees, web hosting fees, domain registration fees, site authentication fees, marketing services whether through Kuki or its associated companies) within 60 days of the company’s invoice, Kuki may cancel or suspend the running of the website without further notice to the Client.
If a website is taken offline for the non-payment of fees, it may be reinstated at a later date in the event of full payment of the invoice including any additional necessary costs associated with the collection of the outstanding amount.
