In order for your domain name to point to the d-formed server your new account is on, you must change your DNS (Domain Name Servers) at your registrar. This process is not known as a domain transfer. d-formed.net will take necessary steps to register domain names on behalf of the client when requested. However, clients are required to ask, in email, for a renewal of there domain. d-formed takes no responsibility for renewing domains unless it has been asked to.
When you subscribe to our services, you are subscribing to a pre-paid service. Renewal notices are sent via email 15 and 0 days before the renewal date. Accounts 7 days past due will be disabled. Accounts 15 days past due will require a £15.00 GBP fee to enable. Please address any questions regarding payment to [email protected].

At which time you may contact us to purchase a higher transfer quota for your account. If you do not contact us, the system will suspend your site if your allotments exceed.

becomes suspended and remains suspended it will be deleted after a 30-day period.
d-formed.net has a zero tolerance policy regarding unsolicited commercial email (UCE) and unsolicited bulk email (UBE) also known as "spam". Spam is the act of sending unsolicited email. You will be cited with UCE/UBE abuse if you send any email to persons who have not specifically asked to receive email from you. The sending origin of such email is irrelevant. If your d-formed Hosting-hosted site is referenced in any way within such an email, then you will be cited for UCE/UBE. Upon confirmation of abuse, any d-formed.net customer engaging in this practice will have their service suspended and terminated immediately without refund. Not only does spam place a strain on the server that can negatively effect that server's uptime record and performance record, you subject that server to be blacklisted.
d-formed.net makes no endorsement, claims, or promises regarding the services offered by our customers and will not be held liable for any disputes or claims against said customers.

exclusive remedy in the event that there is no web site availability.
