of a naming authority to refuse to register a domain name.

by you and any dispute between you and any other individual or organisation

Virus Protection Software/Anti Spam Software
- Spam Filtering and Virus Protection services are only available
to customers hosting their email services with Webtech PRO Pty Ltd.
- You accept that no anti-virus software can guarantee to detect
100% of viruses and therefore you use our virus protection service
at your own risk. Webtech PRO Pty Ltd reserves the right to remove
attachments from incoming email messages if there is any indication
that the attachment is, or might be, infected with a virus. You acknowledge
that we cannot and do not warrant that the software installed on our
servers (4PSA Clean Server) will detect all viruses present in e-mails
scanned by and transmitted via our servers. We make no warranty that
the service will be error free or free from interruption of failure.
Webtech PRO Pty Ltd expressly disclaims any express or implied warranty
regarding system and/or service availability, accessibility, or performance.
The virus scanning software installed on our servers provides a high
level of protection against viruses but you acknowledge and agree
that you are solely responsible for protecting your property and email
accounts from virus threats.
- 4PSA Spam Guardian is an application that works closely with SpamAssassin
Open Source spam engine to provide spam filtering for the email boxes
on Plesk 5/6 servers. The level of spam filtering is set at 15 which
is considered a very permissive setting, only the most obvious spam
messages should be detected. Webtech PRO Pty Ltd offers no guarantee
that the 4PSA Spam Guardian email filter software will capture all
unwanted email sent to any user, nor that all wanted email will be
passed through the filter. You understand that some email may be made
unavailable when using the 4PSA Spam Guardian email filter, and by
requesting to use said filter you assume all liability for any lost
or altered email. By choosing to use the 4PSA Spam Guardian email
filter, you agree to hold Domain Registration Services faultless for
any damages resulting from the use of the filtering service. We make
no warranty that the service will be error free or free from interruption
of failure. Webtech PRO Pty Ltd expressly disclaims any express or
implied warranty regarding system and/or service availability, accessibility,
or performance.
- The software installed on our servers minimises the risk of receiving
SPAM and virus's through email only. This does not mean your computer
will not be affected by a virus. We recommend that you also have a
copy of an Anti-virus program on your computer for extra protection
for virus's that may arrive on your hard drive through CD's, Floppy
Disks and Downloads.
- You agree to waive, and will not assert, any claims against Domain
Registration Services in connection with your access to or use of
the Anti-Spam and Virus Scanning software installed on our servers,
including without limitation any claims based upon the deletion, misdirection
or delay of your email and loss of, damage to, your records or data.
Due to the volatile nature of the Internet and its offerings, the
accuracy of the performance of 4PSA Clean Server and 4PSA Spam Guardian
is not guaranteed by the supplier of the Software, nor is it guaranteed
by Webtech PRO Pty Ltd.
- Email transmitted to you from our servers will not be scanned by
4PSA Spam Guardian and 4PSA Clean Server until you have indicated
your willingness to ulitize these services by:
- sending an email to support@webtech.com.au
requesting that all email sent to your domain be scanned for viruses
by 4PSA Clean Server.
