to suspend or cancel a customer's access to any or all services provided by 123connect

EMAIL
With email now established as an integral part of many businesses we
recommend you make regular backups by downloading email to your local
system. The webmail facility provided is not to be used or considered
as an online office, nor is it permitted to store email for a period
greater than three months. If any email is stored for longer than
three months it may be deleted by our support team without notice.
If you are unable or unwilling to download your mail then we offer
a backup service available via our hosting upgrades page. However
you should be aware that this will only backup email currently in
the mailbox(es) and again will not store email greater than three
months old.

of any kind via or in association with domains or websites held on our

uses resources and annoys customers. Because of this, we (and most ISPs)
are strictly against this in any form. If you are found to be sending any
email classed as spam your account will be terminated and your site deleted
without notice. No refund of any hosting fee will be payable in these circumstances.
