This document is a crucial part of our Terms of Service (ToS) and aims to ensure we share a mutual understanding about acceptable behaviour in our relationship with you.
We firmly believe in the power of respect when it comes to internet usage. So let’s delve into the “house rules” or Terms of Service.
Commitment to Respectful Behaviour
Firstly, let’s clarify how we treat you and your data.
In our traditional business model, we provide a service which you pay for. We do not exploit this relationship in any way that could be considered inappropriate by reasonable standards.
WE WILL NOT:
- Sell your data or information about you to third parties
- Surprise you with hidden charges
- Trap you into unexpected long-term contracts
- Aggressively upsell unnecessary products or services
In return, we ask that YOU BE CONSIDERATE towards other customers as well as us – remember the Internet is a shared resource where selfishness often causes more harm than good.
Compliance with Laws
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for all content stored or processed on our servers.
You MUST NOT use our services for activities deemed illegal within the European Union or its member states nor anything infringing upon our’ or third parties’ rights.
Avoid Causing Harm
Your actions (or lack thereof) MUST NOT disrupt our services or cause harm to anyone or their property.

Responsible Use of AI Features

You agree not to generate unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, invasive, hateful, racially or ethnically objectionable content using our Service.
Before publishing your website replace any AI-generated names addresses phone numbers email addresses with accurate information.
Our Right To Suspend Services
If you breach these rules we reserve the right to suspend your access until issues have been rectified.
Maintain Security
Please ensure good information security practices in line with today’s digital age standards. We will do everything possible from our end by maintaining a secure platform as default but it’s also important you keep your applications updated regularly to back up data hosted on servers while most include a backup component we recommend additional backups for added safety in case ours aren’t available due unforeseen circumstances
Backups Explained
Let’s talk about how backups work at Zone Media:
Regular backups come standard with most managed services including web hosting here’s what you need to know about our policy:
- A backup of customer resources is created every 24 hours
- Backups are stored for 14 days at a separate physical location
- After 14 days, backups are destroyed
Advanced backups apply to services based on distributed data storage:
- Data is stored in two different physical locations
- Even if deleted by the customer, data remains available for restoration for 14 days
- After 14 days, deleted data is destroyed
Your service plan includes a certain amount of storage space for backed-up data. If you need more, it can be purchased separately.
