  • 13.1 - The Client is ultimately responsible for all of its data regardless whether the data is on its own device or hosted on Intellihost Infrastructure, regardless whether it is on our shared hosting platform or VPS. Intellihost strongly encourages the Client to make regular backups of all data associated with their services with Intellihost, including emails, website files, databases any whatever other data the Client deems as important, even if the Client believes that the data that resides on the Intellihost Infrastructure is backed up.

POP, when used with Outlook on Windows, will save the emails in a local database file with an .PST extension. Some mail clients have the option to save emails on the server for a x period of time, but this will only save items in the inbox and all sent items or other folders will not be stored.

If a device were to be stolen the client would be able to recover emails as they are saved on our server. If anything were to happen to the actual mail server, especially related to storage or damage that cannot be recovered, the client would most likely not be able to recover their emails as the mail server would not have that storage and would essentially delete the emails from the local device. The only way to guarantee to avoid such a scenario is to make regular exports of your entire mailbox in Outlook to a PST file and safeguard such PST files either with an offsite backup solution. The Client understands this condition fully remove any liability from Intellihost in the event of any email or data loss.

The webmail facility can be accessed from anywhere in the world on a device with an active internet connection. This facility is free but requires for the client to be diligent in remembering their credentials and to safeguard such credentials as if someone has their password would be able to access their emails as well. Intellihost offers this webmail facility without warranty and the software and availability and features are as setup and provided by cPanel. Intellihost webmail facility makes use of IMAP to connect to your mailbox and carries the same condition as above under IMAP
  • 14.6 - The Client agrees that, irrespective of which technology they use to view and manage their email services hosted by Intellihost, the responsibility of regular backups is that of the Client and that it cannot keep Intellihost liable for any loss or damage as a result of data loss, server failure, downtime or the Clients ability or inability to use our mail services.
