In rare cases, Scothosts may find a customer to be using server resources to such an extent that he or she may jeopardise server performance and resources for other customers. In such instances, Scothosts reserves the right to impose the High Resource User Policy for the consideration of all customers.

High Resource User Policy : Resources are defined as bandwidth and/or processor utilisation. Scothosts may implement the following policy to its sole discretion: When a website found to be monopolising the resources available, the account holder will be contacted in order to discuss the situation.

Payment Policies : All accounts are set up on a prepay basis. Although Scothosts reserves the right to change prices of accounts or services at any time all-pricing is guaranteed for the period of prepayment. Payment is due each anniversary year or month following the date the account was established. Customers will automatically be charged again at the end of their prepay period unless closure notification has already been given.

In situations where the card number on file is declined Scothosts will immediately suspend the facility to purchase services on-line until the outstanding charge is processed successfully. In addition, Scothosts reserves the right to suspend other services until the outstanding debt is cleared. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time that the customer sends a written cancellation request.
