All periods of website inactivity due to staff holidays will be made available to all customers one (1) month in advance - unless a customer joins our website after the period of inactivity has been announced. In this circumstance, whereby a new customer decides to join our website during, or just before the period of inactivity, then UKDropshipGroup cannot be held responsible for any lack of service offered during the above mentioned period.

Customers must be in full agreement to this before paying their fee for website/membership.

 Any such hosting agreement entered into by the customer, will be for a minimum of 12 months. The customer acknowledges that the hosting is held with the following company: Online Web Traders Ltd. Customers are also acknowledging that the hosting payment is made directly to the hosting company: Online Web Traders Ltd immediately after the purchase of any Website Option. Customers are agreeing to this term before purchase.

Once the payment of any Website Option has been made, the customer is then contracted and obliged to complete the website hosting application form with Online Web Traders Ltd.

The 60 minute website creation only applies when registering a new domain at the hosting, processing stage. If using your own domain name, then redirecting the name servers can take up to 24 hours to complete.
