UK domain name registrations are subject to a contract with Nominet, .com, org, .net domains are subject to a contract with enom.
3. Refunds
Money Back Guarantee
Clients are entitled to a full refund within 14 days of the initial order being placed. This will be issued in the same method as originally used by the client. Cases involving offline methods of payment will be refunded using a personal cheque or other online method.
The 14 day money back guarantee does not apply and will not be issued if more than 50% of allocated data transfer has already been used on the web hosting account. This money back guarantee does not apply to domain name registrations, ssl certificates, seo reports or if the account has breached these terms and conditions prior to cancellation.
Account Cancellations
After the 14 day introduction period, no refunds will be issued for account cancellations on a monthly payment schedule. Accounts on a yearly payment schedule are entitled to a pro rated refund taking only full months into account when calculating refund due and using the full monthly price for spent months (without yearly discount). If cancellation of the account is caused by the client breaching these terms and conditions no refund will be issued. No refunds are issued for domain name registrations.
