    Regardless of any of that, in the UK you need to have company registration details available and visible on the invoices and website.

    It's perfectly legal to use any UK address for the company's registered address. The only requirement is that a government official could theoretically turn up to that address and demand to see all relevant company documents.

    In practice, most companies (even huge ones where their address is well known) have their registered address as their accountants, which is why so many phantom related companies turn up when researching companies.

    For a director's address, the only requirement is that they can receive official mail in a timely manner and act on their legal obligations as a director. Many directors use their accountants or nowadays a mail opening service which scans and emails letters from HMRC and throws away the spam mail (and boy, you get a lot of that!)

    If you know that putting your home address in the registration is a bad idea, it's pretty easy to avoid doing it. But nobody tells you until it's too late.

    I'm not talking about the addresses listed I'm talking about how the invoices are literally blank on details other than the random address and a PNG for VeloxMedia which isn't even a registered company.

    They need to have details such as "John Smith t/a VeloxMedia" or list the Limited Company Registered name and registration number.

    When someone purchases from Velox currently these details are completely omitted on the invoice and nowhere to be seen on the website.

    Right now they claim they're a sole trader, but what is that sole trader name? It's nowhere to be seen anywhere

    Back to this topic. I believe, VeloxMedia or whatever, was supposed to give their real company info (and perhaps upload company documents or link to official sources) to LET during their registration as Hosting provider so admins would verify if they are genuine company with genuine details. So LET admins and/or VeloxMedia could tell us their official business address, business registration number and business name. Right?

    One thing I wonder is, as I am not a Hosting company myself (luckily) @jbiloh when Hosting companies renew their Host tag payments. Do you ask for up to date information each year? Or are you just asking for company details during registration then do not check or verify these details later on again? If that's the case, then someone can register on LET with actual company information, then revoke the company and keep doing business here.

    Or if a hosting company goes out of business with people's money, I am sure LET can provide info about the company's latest info on their files upon request, right?

    Also, I believe it's mandatory to include information about your company on your website, business name, registration number and address. As you are checking customers data (at least via maxmind or other fraud databases), it's also customer's right (and legal requirement) to know your company's details. These things works both way.

    My takeaway from all of this brouhaha is: am I too old already to scratch my head why apparently a number of posters here doesn't know how bundles work and how to order them? Ah, those times of OpenVZ and 256 MB RAM... :)

    And random sharing of customer PII data before scrubbing said data to prove a point.
    That’s a bigger issue than bundle mismanagement .

  • @barbaros said: Or if a hosting company goes out of business with people's money, I am sure LET can provide info about the company's latest info on their files upon request, right?

    If the company has gone out of business, there's almost no chance that you'd get any money back. Even if you knew the company or director's personal details at that point, there's no legal recourse if the company has gone bust. That's the main reason why people operate a company, or to give it its full title "limited liability company", because it the event of failure it limits the liabilities of the shareholders to just their share capital (which is usually some nominal amount like £1).

    I was today years old when I found out I already had a DartNode VPS.

    When the F did I order that?

    June.

    I should've seen that coming....
    Put differently, why did I order a VPS ~6 months ago and have it powered off the entire time.

    MY MAN

    a true idler

    At least it was only 6 months, imagine getting a renewal notice for a service you had forgotten about and powered off until you "had time" to set it up.
    Looks at inbox

    Not so bad, but just realised I hadn’t set up my Crunchbits easter VPS, so just been doing that now.

    Think I managed to confuse myself. Looks like it was delivered in the past day or two. The invoice I got a few months ago was a renewal for another.

    Now changing a topic a little.
    I bought a cheap phone. Seller still didn't ship it. Aliexpress because cheap is cheap, okey!?

    Do I wait or buy another (different, more expensive :D) one?!
    Do I want to end with two phones?
    Do I want to just cancel first one?
    Do I want the more expensive phone?
    I kinda want, but also kinda don't want.

    CAN SOMEONE DONATE ME 300$ SO I CAN JUST USE YOUR MONEY AND DON'T THINK ABOUT IT?
    Thanks.

    PLOT TWIST:

    Replacement screen from Aliexpress arrived faster than my new cheap phone.
    I replaced screen [wasn't that bad!], things seems to be working. I have now working Nord 4 16GB.

    WHAT DO I DO NOW?! :sweat_smile:

    Ordered a promo server from one of the providers here.
    They changed their TOS afterwards and now promo deals are non-transferable.

    I feel like I never accepted the new TOS and so the old one should be followed?
    Ticket was answered with a different opinion :D

    (looking for advice here, will not name the provider, not looking for drama)
    (not trying to profit either, server is idling, wanted to transfer without any profit etc.)

    Honest opinion - if you bought it with the intention of reselling it, then tough. As a scalper, you got what you deserve. If you bought it and discovered that performance isn't adequate for some reason, then discuss that with the provider and if you're nice about it, they might offer a refund.

    But I don't really have any sympathy for people who grab every limited deal, stopping others from getting the chance to buy one, when they didn't even want it in the first place.

    Was hoping my million of disclaimers would prevent this scalping talk :wink:

    someone asked in this thread for this specific deal and I thought "oh I have that one and barely use it"
    had it for a few month, will not sell for profit, not scalping, not bought "with intention to resell"
    might have bought it with a little fomo, sure
    not looking for a refund either, will just let it go if i dont find a use later on. But in my mind it would be a lot better to give it to another LET member who needs it and wasn't online in those few seconds back then.

    I'm just a little weirded out by the provider beeing so strict on no transfers when that rule wasn't in place back then. no big deal (for me) either way, but sucks for the member who was looking for that specific server

    It's not about scalping or not, and I do support flash sales or anything super limited with stock being untransferrable. But if you get a service, then they change transfer rules, I believe that shouldn't apply to those products you paid for.

    Imagine you bought a service and a month later they introduced new Fair Usage limits (or changed the current ones causing you disadvantage), or the provider says instead of annually paying for that product now you have to pay biannually. That wasn't the conditions you agreed when buying that product.

    So either those new rules shouldn't apply to that specific product, or you should be offered to break contract and get money back for the remaining period.

    As consumer laws are generally in favour of the customer.
