All Items & Services

Please read our Terms and Conditions of Sale prior to purchasing any goods or services from any of our web sites

All prices quoted are in Pounds Sterling [GBP]. We reserve the right to change any advertised price before you place an order.
All products and services are subject to availability and may be withdrawn at any time. If your order cannot be fulfilled you will be offered an alternative or given a full refund.
You will be advised within 3 business days of any delay or if the item is not available.
We accept all main payment methods, for a complete list please see the Knowledgebase.
Payments will be debited from your account and all transactions manually verified before the despatch of any purchases.
We will take all reasonable care, in so far as it is within our power to do so, to keep the details of your order secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from our site.

UK VAT

Value Added Tax (V.A.T.) at the prevailing rate is added to all Othello Technology Systems invoices for domain name registration, web/email hosting, dedicated and virtual-private servers etc.
This applies to both EU countries and non-EU countries. This is the ruling by HM Customs & Excise because the service being supplied is in the UK and not the country of your ISP or Registrant.
If you are an EU VAT registered company, you can supply us with a copy of your VAT registration certificate, and we will adjust your account to be VAT-free, allowing you to pay VAT in your own country.

Please see the web site at HMC&E for details.
