Any additional service other than those provided for in the offer will be performed only after specific request of the Client according to procedures to be determined from time to time.
1.2 Characteristics of the service
The Hosting service consists in the provision of web space. The provision may also include the execution of the practices necessary for the registration of a domain name or foreign Registration Authorities and the bandwidth required for the visibility of the site; in this regard, the Client acknowledges and agrees that, being the bandwidth shared between many users, Hosting Stak reserves the right to limit the availability of the bandwidth in case of continuous use of the same or network congestions.
It is understood, and that the Client acknowledges and accepts, that the e-mail service provided by Hosting Stak doesn't include the storage of messages stored or passed in the Client mailbox. For this reason, the Client shall take care of the backup the same at its own expense.
1.3 Peculiarities of the extensions
The Client further acknowledges and agrees that:
1.4 Additional Services
The Client will have the option to install one or more applications using the Script Softaculous software directly from its control panel.
The Client further acknowledges and agrees that:
1.5 Rules for the registration/migration of the domain name
Hosting Stak shall register domain names in strict chronological order of requests received, provided that Hosting Stak also receives the confirmation regarding the payment of the cost of the service, issued by the Authority considered as competent to carry out the operation, and the documentation required by these General Conditions of Contract. It shall be understood that:
1.6 Obligations of the Client
In order for the registration process or domain transfer to be successful, the Client must perform the following procedures:
provide correct and true data and produce the necessary documents, including but not limited to:
In the event that the registration or transfer or renewal process is not successful due to reasons not imputable to Hosting Stak (by way of example but not of limitation: because the data supplied by the Client are not accurate or are discrepant from those sent to Hosting Stak, or the Client fails to send the documents required by the competent Authority, or Hosting Stak is not able to charge a service fee since it is not specified in the purpose of the payment), Hosting Stak, in the exclusive interest of the Client, reserves the right to repeat the register or transfer or renewal operation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after 12 (twelve) months from the date of payment, if the conditions that caused the blockage of the procedure are unchanged, the procedure itself shall be considered expired and Hosting Stak will withhold the amount of the deposit as reimbursement for the expenses incurred.
After the successful outcome of the aforesaid procedure, the Client will be the legitimate owner of the chosen domain name, and will also hold the sole and exclusive responsibility for its use and its content: the Client, however, will be required to check within 15 days from the date of activation of the web space the accuracy of its data in the Authority database competent for the chosen extension; if, within that period, the Client doesn't raise any objection as to the correctness of its data, these will be deemed correct.
1.7 Service with web space and discipline of Backup
In the event that the Client has purchased a service with web space, the Client acknowledges and agrees:
The backup copies will be available to the Client at anytime, except for possible technical disruptions due to failures, malfunctions or maintenance of the machines and/or software. In this case, the Client shall not claim anything as compensation for the non-use of the backup service.
The Client acknowledges and agrees that, even if the use of the backup service reduces the risk of data loss and makes it easier for the Client to have the copy of the same, it is not excluded the possibility that the backup can be incomplete and/or missing, so the Client shall anyway periodically and independently provide for a backup copy of the entire content of the web space to be stored in a place other than its web space.
The Client further acknowledges and agrees that:
during the web space transfer from one server to another, which may be necessary for any reason, the backup service may not be available for a limited time, which can vary due to technical reasons; in this case, the Client shall not claim anything as compensation for the non-use of the backup service.
1.8 Right to unilateral modification by Hosting Stak
Hosting Stak reserves the right to modify the service and change the conditions of the offer at any time without notice; in this regard, it is understood that the contracts concluded before the modifications or changes will be accepted and respected under the agreed conditions.
The Client acknowledges and agrees that Hosting Stak, saved for the case indicated in the art. 4.1 letter E), reserves the right to periodically change the access codes related to the domain (login and password) and the new data will be sent to the reference email indicated during the order phase.

2.1 Execution of Contract

Hosting Stak will begin to undertake the operations required by the Client from the date of conclusion of the contract.
The contract thus concluded lasts one year from the date of activation of the service, saved for the provisions under the art. 2.3.
In the event that the payment is not valid, the domain can be disabled by Hosting Stak and/or transferred to another person, and the person who ordered the registration is still bound to pay the fees and the interests for the delay.
2.2 Maturity/Renewal of Contract
At the deadline set for the chosen service, this contract shall cease to be effective, unless it is renewed at least 15 days before the deadline through the payment of the sum due (the charges which will apply at renewal); in this case, the contract will be renewed for an additional annuity, except as provided in the following articles 2.3 and 2.4.
The Client further acknowledges and agrees that:
2.3 Termination of Contract in case of transfer of the domain
In the case of domain transfer to another provider/maintainer, the contract will cease its effectiveness at the end of the transfer process; any web space and in any case all the services associated with the domain name will be deactivated and deleted, and any repayments by Hosting Stak to the Client for the non-used period shall be explicitely excluded.
2.4 Maintenance of the domain name after the expiration
The Client acknowledges and accepts that, without renewal (as indicated under art. 2.2), Hosting Stak reserves the right, at its discretion, to renew the domain maintenance for one or more annuities keeping unchanged the registration data present. It is understood that in such a case, however, all the services associated with the domain will be disabled (including but not limited to: hosting, email, any additional services) and in place of the domain home page a web page containing advertisements will be inserted. The Client may request to regain the ownership of the domain and related services, by contacting via email through the link http://www.hostingstak.com/contact.php Hosting Stak, which will assess each case individually. Hosting Stak will check that all the conditions to regain the dominion and related services are valid.

In this case, the Client acknowledges and agrees that Hosting Stak doesn't guarantee the conservation of the content of the web space, so the Client indemnifies Hosting Stak, as of now, from all direct and indirect liabilities for the possible partial or total loss of data, information and content allocated, at the time of the contract expiration, on the site corresponding to the domain name in question. However, the Client reserves the right to request the cancellation of the domain name at any time, by sending an explicit written communication to the Hosting Stak address: Hosting Stak by MAKE BS LTD - Ibc 21 Knightsbridge - SW1X 7LY - London - United Kingdom, via registered letter with attached copy of an identity document and all documents necessary for the cancellation of the domain by the Registration Authority competent according to the extension selected; in case of .it domains, the Client is required to send such documents directly to the competent Registration Authority.

In the case Hosting Stak detects that a Client machine has been compromised, an e-mail communication will be sent to the Client, indicating that a reinstallation is needed to maintain the integrity of the server and the infrastructure.
