Terms and Conditions of Service

Last updated: January 18, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the managed business infrastructure and digital services provided by PacketNine Ltd. (“PacketNine,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By securing the Professional Foundation or any Managed Upgrade, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Service Provision & Scope

PacketNine provides a managed Professional Foundation consisting of Website Infrastructure, Domain Management, and Enterprise Email services.

  • Modular Architecture: Clients may scale their infrastructure by selecting “Managed Upgrades” (e.g., Service & Client Manager, TradeHub Finance). Each upgrade is integrated into the Client’s existing Foundation.
  • Client Obligations: The Client is responsible for providing all necessary business information and ensuring its accuracy for HMRC compliance (where applicable).
  • AI-Assisted Content: PacketNine utilizes AI to assist in drafting business copy. The Client holds final responsibility for the accuracy of all technical details, trade prices, and service descriptions once approved.
  • Technical Support: Standard “IT Deskside Support” is included for all active subscriptions to ensure the stability of the Foundation and integrated upgrades.

2. Payment and Billing

  • Subscription Model: Services operate on a rolling monthly subscription. Your total monthly fee is the sum of the Professional Foundation plus any active Managed Upgrades.
  • Setup & Integration Fees: A non-refundable fee is required to commence the Professional Foundation. Managed Upgrades carry additional one-time Integration Fees to cover the manual technical architecture and database configuration required.
  • Billing Cycle: Fees are billed monthly in advance via automated payment. Services will be suspended if an account remains overdue for more than 7 days.

3. Contract Term and Termination

  • Minimum Initial Term: To ensure Google indexing and system stability, all new Foundations require a minimum initial term of three (3) months.
  • Rolling Contract: Following the initial term, the contract converts to a month-to-month subscription.
  • Cancellation: Notice of cancellation must be provided in writing at least 30 days prior to the next billing date.

4. Domain, Data & Intellectual Property

  • Domain Ownership: The Client remains the legal owner of the domain name. PacketNine acts as the technical administrator.
  • Domain Release: A release fee of £25 applies to transfer a domain away from PacketNine. This covers the technical de-provisioning of DNS records, SSL certificates, and secure handover.
  • Proprietary Infrastructure: PacketNine retains all rights to the underlying “Business Engine” code and custom Zoho configurations. These are provided as a managed service and are not transferable to third-party hosts.
  • Data Portability: Upon cancellation, PacketNine will provide a standard export (CSV/Excel) of the Client’s customer data from the Service Manager or Finance Portal.

5. Liability & Compliance

  • Finance Tools: While TradeHub Finance is HMRC-recognized, the Client remains responsible for the accuracy of their own tax filings and CIS returns.
  • Limitation of Liability: PacketNine’s total liability is limited to the fees paid by the Client in the three (3) months preceding any claim.
