Please
note:
by signing up
for any of our
services you
agree to be
bound by all TRU
Office terms and
conditions.
Email
The following
terms and
conditions apply
to TRU Office
email services.
Use of
Microsoft
Outlook 2003
Software
TRU Office
Exchange Mail
accounts include
licensing for
Outlook Client
Software. The
license fee is
included with
the monthly TRU
Office service
fee. Mailbox
owners are
permitted to
install the
software once on
one PC for each
Microsoft
Exchange 2003
mailbox. Sharing
of a single
mailbox is not
permitted unless
additional
licenses are
purchased on a
monthly basis
for each user.
If you cancel
your TRU Office
Exchange Mail
account you are
responsible for
uninstalling any
Outlook client
software that is
licensed as part
of the TRU
Office service.
Size of
mailbox
Each mailbox has
a storage quota.
This is in place
to protect your
account and
others from
potentially
large volumes of
email sent to a
single address
that could
materially
affect the email
system server.
Additional
storage can be
purchased though
your control
panel, or
through your
account manager.
It is the
mailbox owner's
responsibility
to ensure that
his/her mailbox
does not reach
its allocated
level. TRU
Office cannot be
responsible for
email lost due
to full
mailboxes. You
can check your
mailbox size
from your
control panel.
Passwords
It is the
mailbox owner's
responsibility
to keep his/her
password
confidential,
and to change
the password on
a regular basis.
TRU Office is
not responsible
for any data
losses or
security issues
due to stolen
passwords. TRU
Office
recommends that
you use
passwords that
contain numbers
and symbols in
order to prevent
unauthorized
users from
guessing
commonly-used
choices (i.e.
"12345",
"password",
etc.).
Technical
support
We provide
unlimited
technical
support for each
PC and Server
provided by TRU
Office. We will
do our best to
resolve all
issues to the
best of our
ability.
Hardware,
software and
other internet
provision not
provided by TRU
Office is the
responsibility
of the client,
NOT TRU Office
to resolve. TRU
Office will,
however,
endeavor to
fault find
connectivity
issue to the
best of our
ability.
Control
panels and
server
management
TRU Office
provides
web-based
account and
server
management via a
control panel.
This is designed
to give you
control over
your account and
the Microsoft
Exchange server
features. You
can use your
control panel to
perform most of
the routine
account and
server
management
tasks. Online
help is
available from
TRU Office'
support website,
or from the
support
representative
at the time.
Service
availability
TRU Office
monitors the
server as a
whole but does
not monitor
individual
mailboxes. The
Exchange server
uses SMTP, a
"store-and-forward"
email protocol,
to deliver
outbound
messages. This
protocol does
not guarantee
immediate
delivery of
email messages.
By default, the
Exchange server
makes a delivery
attempt every
ten minutes
three times;
after that the
server will
attempt message
delivery every
fifteen minutes.
If there is no
successful
delivery attempt
within twelve
hours, a delay
notification
will be emailed
to the sender.
If there is no
successful
delivery attempt
within two days,
the message will
be returned to
the sender.
Scheduled
maintenance
To guarantee
optimal
performance on
the servers, it
is necessary for
TRU Office to
perform routine
maintenance.
Such maintenance
often requires
taking TRU
Office Exchange
servers
off-line,
typically
performed during
off-peak hours.
TRU Office will
give you advance
notice of
maintenance
requiring the
servers to be
taken off-line
whenever
possible.
Security
TRU Office makes
every reasonable
effort to ensure
mailbox security
at all times. We
do this through
a combination of
various network
security
policies, load
balancing and
redundant
systems. We make
every reasonable
effort to ensure
the integrity of
data on our
systems. On the
rare occasions
where there may
be a problem
with specific
mailbox data, it
is the mailbox
owners
responsibility
notify to us. We
cannot guarantee
to restore data
and we accept no
liability for
the loss of any
such data.
Server
storage capacity
Each Exchange
account is
allotted an
aggregated
storage capacity
initially equal
to the total
storage capacity
of each mailbox.
This storage
capacity is
shared among all
mailboxes and
public folders
within your
account; the
quota cannot be
exceeded. For an
additional fee,
you may increase
your account
storage capacity
at any time from
within the
control panel.
Mailbox
and Public
Folder storage
capacity
In addition to
the aggregate
account storage
capacity, each
mailbox and
public folder
also has its own
storage limit.
When the storage
capacity is
reached on an
individual
mailbox or
folder, the
Exchange servers
shall stop
sending or
receiving
messages. TRU
Office is not
responsible for
service
unavailability
or data loss
caused by any
mailbox or
folder exceeding
its storage
capacity. To
prevent such
occurrences, you
can manage
mailbox and
public folder
storage limits
at any time from
within the
control panel.
Top
level folders
and sub-folders
The Exchange
Server retains
ownership of the
two top layers
of the public
folder
hierarchy,
"Public
Folders", and,
under that
folder, the "All
Public Folders".
Users of
Microsoft
Outlook can
create as many
Public folders
as they wish
under the
existing
folders, and
these can be of
any type allowed
by the Exchange
server
(appointment,
contacts, mail,
notes, journal,
or tasks).
Anti-virus
checking
TRU Office
installs
anti-virus
software on its
Exchange
servers. This
software is
configured to
check all
messages coming
in to and
leaving the
Exchange server.
Messages sent
between
mailboxes on the
server are not
scanned. If a
virus is
detected, the
message is
deleted. No
notification is
sent to either
recipient or
sender of the
message.
Anti-SPAM
message
filtering
TRU Office runs
anti-SPAM
software on its
Exchange
servers. You can
determine the
levels of spam
protection from
within your
control panel.
Ownership of
data
All data created
or stored by you
within TRU
Office'
applications and
servers are your
property. TRU
Office shall
allow access to
such data by
only authorized
TRU Office
personnel. TRU
Office makes no
claim of
ownership of any
web server
content, email
content, or any
other type of
data contained
within the
accountholder's
server space or
within
applications on
TRU Office'
servers.
Customers are
responsible for
backing up their
email before
upgrading or
removing
mailboxes.
Use of
email account
If TRU Office
identify a
mailbox or
domain that is
causing
problems; we
will either
remove the
offending
mailboxes or
change their
settings to
resolve the
issue. In
extreme cases,
we will disable
email or suspend
all services to
the domain as
appropriate.
For details of
what is not
allowed by TRU
Office and our
spam/ illicit
material
policies please
see the abuse
section of our
terms &
conditions.
Email retrieval
and timescale
TRU Office'
policy on
maintaining
stable
data-transfer
levels includes
a deletion
process for
email that has
not been
downloaded
locally within
90 days of
receipt (this
process does not
apply to
Microsoft
Exchange
mailboxes).
It is the
mailbox owner's
responsibility
to ensure
his/her received
email is
retrieved and
saved locally
where necessary
to ensure that
important
correspondence
is not lost.
TRU Office
cannot be held
responsible for
lost items that
have exceeded
this 90 day
limit.
Please note: by
signing up for
any of our
services you
agree to be
bound by all TRU
Office terms and
conditions.

.org.uk, .ltd.uk
and .plc.uk
top-level

SELECTION OF A
DOMAIN NAME.
You represent
that, to the
best of the your
knowledge and
belief, neither
this
registration of
a domain name
nor the manner
in which it is
directly or
indirectly to be
used infringes
upon the legal
rights of a
third party and,
further, that
the domain name
is not being
registered for
nor shall it at
any time
whatsoever be
used for any
unlawful purpose
whatsoever.
If you are
registering your
name during the
finite period of
time when owners
of trademarks
and service
marks issued
prior to October
2, 2000 and
having national
effect will have
the exclusive
opportunity to
register
identical domain
names ("Sunrise
Period"). You
acknowledge and
agree that
registrations
for domain names
during the
Sunrise Period
will only be
accepted for a
minimum
registration
term of five (5)
years.
.name
RESTRICTIONS.
Registrations in
the .name
top-level domain
must constitute
an individual's
"Personal Name".

shall cease.
To ensure your

on all our
domains - you
will be notified
in advance that
your domain is
about to expire
and given the
option to opt
out of the
renewal, if of
any reason you
do not contact
us, then we will
ensure your
registration
continues and
automatically
renew your
domain. This is
not refundable
and it is your
responsibility
to ensure valid
contact and
payment details
are on your
account at all
times - failure
can lead to
suspension.

domain renewal
process is
automated and we
confirm all
domain renewals
by email.
However, it is
your
responsibility
to check that
your renewal has
been successful
within one month

4.
Mandatory
Administrative
Proceeding.
This Paragraph
sets forth the
type of disputes
for which you
are required to
submit to a
mandatory
administrative
proceeding.
These
proceedings will
be conducted
before one of
the
administrative-dispute-resolution
service
providers listed
at
http://www.icann.org/udrp/approved-providers.htm
(each, a
"Provider").
a. Applicable
Disputes. You
are required to
submit to a
mandatory
administrative
proceeding in
the event that a
third party (a
"complainant")
asserts to the
applicable
Provider, in
compliance with
the Rules of
Procedure, that
(i) your domain
name is
identical or
confusingly
similar to a
trademark or
service mark in
which the
complainant has
rights; and (ii)
you have no
rights or
legitimate
interests in
respect of the
domain name; and
(iii) your
domain name has
been registered
and is being
used in bad
faith. In the
administrative
proceeding, the
complainant must
prove that each
of these three
elements are
present.
b. Evidence of
Registration and
Use in Bad
Faith. For the
purposes of
Paragraph
4(a)(iii), the
following
circumstances,
in particular
but without
limitation, if
found by the
Panel to be
present, shall
be evidence of
the registration
and use of a
domain name in
bad faith: (i)
circumstances
indicating that
you have
registered or
you have
acquired the
domain name
primarily for
the purpose of
selling,
renting, or
otherwise
transferring the
domain name
registration to
the complainant
who is the owner
of the trademark
or service mark
or to a
competitor of
that
complainant, for
valuable
consideration in
excess of your
documented
out-of-pocket
costs directly
related to the
domain name; or
(ii) you have
registered the
domain name in
order to prevent
the owner of the
trademark or
service mark
from reflecting
the mark in a
corresponding
domain name,
provided that
you have engaged
in a pattern of
such conduct; or
(iii) you have
registered the
domain name
primarily for
the purpose of
disrupting the
business of a
competitor; or
(iv) by using
the domain name,
you have
intentionally
attempted to
attract, for
commercial gain,
Internet users
to your web site
or other online
location, by
creating a
likelihood of
confusion with
the
complainant's
mark as to the
source,
sponsorship,
affiliation, or
endorsement of
your web site or
location or of a
product or
service on your
web site or
location.
c. How to
Demonstrate Your
Rights to and
Legitimate
Interests in the
Domain Name in
Responding to a
Complaint. When
you receive a
complaint, you
should refer to
Paragraph 5 of
the Rules of
Procedure in
determining how
your response
should be
prepared. Any of
the following
circumstances,
in particular
but without
limitation, if
found by the
Panel to be
proved based on
its evaluation
of all evidence
presented, shall
demonstrate your
rights or
legitimate
interests to the
domain name for
purposes of
Paragraph
4(a)(ii): (i)
before any
notice to you of
the dispute,
your use of, or
demonstrable
preparations to
use, the domain
name or a name
corresponding to
the domain name
in connection
with a bona fide
offering of
goods or
services; or
(ii) you (as an
individual,
business, or
other
organization)
have been
commonly known
by the domain
name, even if
you have
acquired no
trademark or
service mark
rights; or (iii)
you are making a
legitimate
noncommercial or
fair use of the
domain name,
without intent
for commercial
gain to
misleadingly
divert consumers
or to tarnish
the trademark or
service mark at
issue.
d. Selection of
Provider. The
complainant
shall select the
Provider from
among those
approved by
ICANN by
submitting the
complaint to
that Provider.
The selected
Provider will
administer the
proceeding,
except in cases
of consolidation
as described in
Paragraph 4(f).
e. Initiation of
Proceeding and
Process and
Appointment of
Administrative
Panel. The Rules
of Procedure
state the
process for
initiating and
conducting a
proceeding and
for appointing
the panel that
will decide the
dispute (the
"Administrative
Panel").
f.
Consolidation.
In the event of
multiple
disputes between
you and a
complainant,
either you or
the complainant
may petition to
consolidate the
disputes before
a single
Administrative
Panel. This
petition shall
be made to the
first
Administrative
Panel appointed
to hear a
pending dispute
between the
parties. This
Administrative
Panel may
consolidate
before it any or
all such
disputes in its
sole discretion,
provided that
the disputes
being
consolidated are
governed by this
Policy or a
later version of
this Policy
adopted by
ICANN.
g. Fees. All
fees charged by
a Provider in
connection with
any dispute
before an
Administrative
Panel pursuant
to this Policy
shall be paid by
the complainant,
except in cases
where you elect
to expand the
Administrative
Panel from one
to three
panelists as
provided in
Paragraph
5(b)(iv) of the
Rules of
Procedure, in
which case all
fees will be
split evenly by
you and the
complainant.
h. Our
Involvement in
Administrative
Proceedings. We
do not, and will
not, participate
in the
administration
or conduct of
any proceeding
before an
Administrative
Panel. In
addition, we
will not be
liable as a
result of any
decisions
rendered by the
Administrative
Panel.
i. Remedies. The
remedies
available to a
complainant
pursuant to any
proceeding
before an
Administrative
Panel shall be
limited to
requiring the
cancellation of
your domain name
or the transfer
of your domain
name
registration to
the complainant.
j. Notification
and Publication.
The Provider
shall notify us
of any decision
made by an
Administrative
Panel with
respect to a
domain name you
have registered
with us. All
decisions under
this Policy will
be published in
full over the
Internet, except
when an
Administrative
Panel determines
in an
exceptional case
to redact
portions of its
decision.
k. Availability
of Court
Proceedings. The
mandatory
administrative
proceeding
requirements set
forth in
Paragraph 4
shall not
prevent either
you or the
complainant from
submitting the
dispute to a
court of
competent
jurisdiction for
independent
resolution
before such
mandatory
administrative
proceeding is
commenced or
after such
proceeding is
concluded. If an
Administrative
Panel decides
that your domain
name
registration
should be
cancelled or
transferred, we
will wait ten
(10) business
days (as
observed in the
location of our
principal
office) after we
are informed by
the applicable
Provider of the
Administrative
Panel's decision
before
implementing
that decision.
We will then
implement the
decision unless
we have received
from you during
that ten (10)
business day
period official
documentation
(such as a copy
of a complaint,
file-stamped by
the clerk of the
court) that you
have commenced a
lawsuit against
the complainant
in a
jurisdiction to
which the
complainant has
submitted under
Paragraph
3(b)(xiii) of
the Rules of
Procedure. (In
general, that
jurisdiction is
either the
location of our
principal office
or of your
address as shown
in our Whois
database. See
Paragraphs 1 and
3(b)(xiii) of
the Rules of
Procedure for
details.) If we
receive such
documentation
within the ten
(10) business
day period, we
will not
implement the
Administrative
Panel's
decision, and we
will take no
further action,
until we receive
(i) evidence
satisfactory to
us of a
resolution
between the
parties; (ii)
evidence
satisfactory to
us that your
lawsuit has been
dismissed or
withdrawn; or
(iii) a copy of
an order from
such court
dismissing your
lawsuit or
ordering that
you do not have
the right to
continue to use
your domain
name.
5. All
Other Disputes
and Litigation.
All other
disputes between
you and any
party other than
us regarding
your domain name
registration
that are not
brought pursuant
to the mandatory
administrative
proceeding
provisions of
Paragraph 4
shall be
resolved between
you and such
other party
through any
court,
arbitration or
other proceeding
that may be
available.
6. Our
Involvement in
Disputes.
We will not
participate in
any way in any
dispute between
you and any
party other than
us regarding the
registration and
use of your
domain name. You
shall not name
us as a party or
otherwise
include us in
any such
proceeding. In
the event that
we are named as
a party in any
such proceeding,
we reserve the
right to raise
any and all
defenses deemed
appropriate, and
to take any
other action
necessary to
defend
ourselves.
7.
Maintaining the
Status Quo.
We will not
cancel,
transfer,
activate,
deactivate, or
otherwise change
the status of
any domain name
registration
under this
Policy except as
provided in
Paragraph 3
above.
8.
Transfers During
a Dispute.
a. Transfers of
a Domain Name to
a New Holder.
You may not
transfer your
domain name
registration to
another holder (i)
during a pending
administrative
proceeding
brought pursuant

Policy
Modifications.

right to modify
this Policy at
any time with
the permission
of ICANN. We
will post our
revised Policy
here at least
thirty (30)
calendar days
before it
becomes
effective.
Unless this
Policy has
already been
invoked by the
submission of a
complaint to a
Provider, in
which event the
version of the
Policy in effect
at the time it
was invoked will
apply to you
until the
dispute is over,
all such changes
will be binding
upon you with
respect to any
domain name
registration
dispute, whether
the dispute
arose before, on
or after the
effective date
of our change.
In the event
that you object
to a change in
this Policy,
your sole remedy
is to cancel
your domain name
registration
with us,
provided that
you will not be
entitled to a
refund of any
fees you paid to
us. The revised
Policy will

your domain name
registration.

Acceptable use
policy
Guidelines
This policy is
subject to
change, so
please check
regularly for
updates. This
policy is in
addition to TRU
Office Terms and
Conditions.
1) Web
hosting
1.1) TRU Office
reserves the
right to suspend
or cancel a
customer's
access to any or
all services
provided by TRU
Office, where
TRU Office
decides that the
account has been
inappropriately
used. TRU Office
reserves the
right to refuse
service and/or
access to its
servers to
anyone.
1.2) TRU Office
offer unlimited
web space and
bandwidth with
some account
types. By this,
we mean
unlimited space
for legitimate
web site content
and bandwidth
for visitors to
view it. All
files on a
domain must be
part of the
active website
and linked to
the site. Sites
should not
contain any
backups,
downloads, or
other non-web
based content.
We will treat
all password
protected
archive (e.g.
zip and rar)
files as
unacceptable.
Multimedia
content such as
audio and video
is acceptable
provided it is
streamed to the
user, links to
HTTP download of
this content is
not acceptable.
TRU Office
offers a
streaming media
service for this
type of content.
1.3) Scripts on
the site must be
designed to
produce
web-based
content, and not
to use the
server as an
application
server. Using
the server to
generate large
volumes of email
from a database
is an example of
activity that is
not allowed.
Scripts should
not attempt to
manipulate the
timeouts on
servers. These
are set at the
present values
to ensure the
reliability of
the server.
Sites that reset
these do so
because they are
resource
intensive, and
adversely affect
server
performance and
are therefore
not allowed.
1.4) TRU Office
will disable any
domain that
fails to adhere
to the following
criteria as soon
as we are made
aware, in line
with current
