TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USAGE:

Thank you for using the SupaNames community forums.

Please take time to make yourself aware of the forum terms and conditions, contained within this document, before using & posting within this area. These terms and conditions are designed to outline what the forums can and cannot be used for and to ensure that the forums can operate alongside our busy official support service (http://www.supanames.com/support) to provide the best possible level of support to our users.

These forums allow you to chat with other SupaNames users and to assist each other with issues not generally covered by our free support service (such as php / cgi scripting). If you require official technical support please use our support service, which handles hundreds of customer emails each day, at http://www.supanames.com/support/

1) FAULT, ERROR, PROBLEM AND SECURITY ISSUE REPORTING

ANY report or post of or relating to service faults, problems or security issues (eg. site down, server issues etc) MUST be sent directly to our support department at http://www.supanames.com/support/ and MUST NOT be posted within this community forum at ANY time.

There are several reasons for this rule, the most important being:

I) Our support department need to know directly about any fault, problem, error or security issue as soon as possible and these forums are not monitored by our support department directly.

II) Faults, errors or problems can be caused by many different factors (e.g. problems with your ISP etc) and confusion is easily caused by people assuming that they are experiencing the same fault as another user, when in fact these users may be experiencing very different issues, on different servers and with different causes, but similar symptoms.

III) These forums are intended to be community based forums and are not a source for official SupaNames support which is only available at http://www.supanames.com/support/.

IV) In the past, information provided in fault reporting posts on this forum has not been sufficient enough for our staff to look into the issue and offer advice or resolve a server fault and as the forums are an informal community based public system, we are unable to ask for further details in this setting.

V) Security issues are often of a sensitive nature, and should always be sent direct to our support department for that reason.
