The purchaser of this agreement may cancel this agreement at any time simply by giving Lakes Telecommunications 60 days notice by e-mail to support@lakestelecom.net .Please note however that whilst there is no cancellation charge, there is also no refund of any fees paid. Other charges may apply and will be based on the cost of any work required to close/transfer the site and domain registration. These charges will be as published in my price list at Price List. A simple closure without transfer will not incur any charge, a transfer may incur a transfer charge payable to the new registrar plus any work at normal hourly rates.

Under this agreement, you must comply with Lakes Telecommunications's then current " Acceptable Use Policy," as updated from time to time by Lakes Telecommunications.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY. BY ACTIVATING AN ACCOUNT, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND LAKES TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY.
1. Lakes Telecommunications will host an account for the purchaser hereafter referred to as the Account Holder, for their chosen domain name. Termination of services must be given in written form, 60 days prior to the termination date, e-mail is considered a suitable form of communication for this purpose. No refund of fees is available as a large part of the fee is paid out to other entities for registration or service provision purposes. In the event that due notice is given the domain registration will be transferred out without charge by Lakes Telecom, but the client will be responsible for any fees levied by the registrar for the transfer, if this is required, if the due notice is not given then casual work fees at the current rates will apply to all work involved in transferring out the registration to another party. This covers only the fees for transferring out and although most registrars transfer in registrations without charge it is up to the owner of the registration to confirm what fees, if any, will apply. Please note that with some registrations there is a period in which domain names may not be transferred for security purposes. If the required 60 days notice is not given then a full years hosting fee is payable as steps will have already been taken to aquire hosting and renew the domain registration. As some domain registration must be done and paid for in advance for periods in excess of one year (typically .uk registrations), if the current registration period exceeds the hosting renewal period the party transferring thier registration will be responsible for refunding any domain registration fees paid in advance.
