Terms of Service
UPDATED 14th July, 2025.
Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using any of our services or purchasing our digital products—collectively offered by The Kinsmen Digital Network Ltd. ("The Kinsmen", "we", "us", or "our")—you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read carefully; if you do not agree, you must discontinue use immediately.
Services
We deliver robust web hosting packages, domain registration, and bespoke digital solutions—web and mobile applications, software tools, online advertising campaigns, branding, and digital products. By using our offerings, you commit to lawful and ethical use in accordance with all applicable laws.
Hosting Policies
To maintain optimal performance and fairness across our platform, the following policies apply to all hosting customers:
- Bandwidth Usage: Each shared hosting plan includes a monthly bandwidth allocation. Exceeding this limit will result in temporary suspension of your account until the next billing cycle when quotas reset. You may also upgrade your plan at any time for higher capacity.
- Resource Limits: Our shared servers balance resources among all clients. If your website consistently exceeds CPU, memory, or I/O thresholds, we will suspend your account to protect overall stability. We will reach out with recommended options—such as upgrading to a VPS or dedicated server plan—to accommodate your growth.
- DNS Abuse: In partnership with our domain registrar affiliates, we monitor for DNS abuse and policy violations. We will collaborate with you to remediate minor issues without service interruption. However, severe or repeated abuse may require temporary suspension to safeguard the network.
- Fraudulent or Malicious Activities: Our services are provided for legitimate, lawful use only. If we receive validated evidence of fraudulent behavior or misuse, we reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate your account immediately, without refund, to prevent further harm.
Digital Products
Our digital products—web and mobile applications, software tools, e-books, PHP scripts, and more—are meticulously developed by our in-house team. We do not resell or distribute any third-party software or components.
These products are designed for educational, business, and productivity purposes. You alone are responsible for ensuring that your use complies with all laws and ethical standards. We disclaim liability for any misuse or unauthorized activities arising from product deployment.

You may use our services only for lawful, legitimate purposes. “Fraudulent or malicious activities” include—but are not limited to—phishing, Ponzi and pyramid schemes, guaranteed-return investment programs (HYIPs), malware or ransomware distribution, unauthorized data harvesting, and any form of cyber-fraud.
- Notice & Takedown: Upon receiving a credible abuse report, court order, or regulatory directive, we will disable or suspend the offending content or account within 24 hours and preserve any relevant logs for investigation.
- Zero Tolerance: If you are found to be knowingly facilitating or promoting such activities, we reserve the right to terminate your account immediately, without refund, and to cooperate fully with law enforcement.
