WEBSITE DESIGN, HOSTING AND DOMAIN REGISTRATION SERVICE TERMS OF AGREEMENT

Ownership & Registration
If Holiday Brands is asked on behalf of a client, to register a domain name/s, that domain name will be registered under Holiday Brands’s business registration details and management account in order to complete and authenticate
registration by a business, unless otherwise specified.

This is for the purposes of ease of management, support and service with the domain registrar.
By authorising Holiday Brands to register your domain or hosting, you authorise Holiday Brands to act on your behalf when contacting the domain registrar or hosting service provider (eg, for technical support etc).
In the event that the client would like their domain registered to their ABN and/or business details, under a separate management account, the client will need to advise of this preference before initial registration.
This will also require the client to provide all hosting account information, passwords and cpanel information to Holiday Brands in order for Holiday Brands to be able to complete and work, build or maintain your site. Any changes after initial registration to ownership or account management will be classed as change of ownership or cancellation, and fees will apply.
Once registration has occurred, change of ownership details can only be made via formal application, at a cost determined by the hosting provider plus $99 (inc GST) for Holiday Brands administrative charge.
Any client wishing to change or cancel hosting , service providers, or name registration (including name server, or domain name registration changes), will be liable for a $200 +gst (2hrs) one-off cancellation or change charge in order for us to administer & complete this process.

Management of renewals
As of the 1 July 2017, all clients must pay an annual management and renewal fee for their domain name &/or hosting account. As we only on-charge clients the cost that the hosting or registrar charges us, this fee will be added in order to cover time needed to complete and manage the renewal and account.

Assistance and support provided in order to help with these problems will be charged at the usual hourly support rate.
