We work with all the world’s leading infrastructure providers (Cloud Computing, Servers, Dedicated Servers, VPS, CDN etc.) in order to ensure top quality service and choose among a wide range of leading companies and services.
3.2 Physical Access
The infrastructure (e.g. servers) used by Philanthropy.gr ltd. for the provision of the services are in data centers with controlled access and are operated by a specialized company. Access to the data centers is limited to qualified personnel of the company or its representatives, which should be accessible only for the purpose of providing the services. Typically, each data center is staffed 24/7/365 and monitored by video. Entrance to the data center is only allowed with access cards and/or biometric hand scanners or other authorized authentication and security methods. Each provider may have its own certified monitor and access control methodology.
3.3 Staff
Verification: Philanthropy.gr ltd. performs background checks on its employees, who have access to the accounts of customers.
Access: Both the providers and Philanthropy.gr ltd. restrict the use of passwords for customer accounts to officials and other staff who need passwords for the purpose of rendering the services. All staff using passwords will be required to log in using his own and exclusive user name and password.
3.4 Report and address the breach of security
Philanthropy.gr ltd. will immediately report any unauthorized access or release of your information as soon as it is realized by those responsible for security matters. Upon request, we will provide you with all the information and documents available to us related with any such case.

4.2 For Shared Hosting, if an account exceeds the limits of the corresponding hosting package, the services will be interrupted. The Customer has the option to wait with the service interrupted until the end of the month, when resources are reset, or ask for a hosting package upgrade, and have the service restored immediately.

Philanthropy.gr ltd. is not responsible in case of violation, infection or destruction of the content on the server by actions of others.

5. Special Terms of Service for Web Design
5.1 The financial offers are based on an estimate of working hours. After effort and extensive experience, we have managed to standardize the work, by estimating the actual working time for each service provided. However, if in some case, for whatever reason, some work takes much more or much less than the estimated time, the cost must be adapted to reality and the Customer shall be informed, before the job is finished. The Customer has the right to decide whether or not to accept the revised offer, and philanthropy.gr ltd. is not obliged to perform a task at the cost of an offer that has been revised. Also, if the Customer requests more or fewer hours of work during the development of a website, the offer shall be adjusted upwards or downwards. For tasks that require more than the estimated time, the Customer is always informed in advance.
5.2 For a more accurate estimate of the hours, the Customer describes/enumerates or delivers the material to be placed on the website (texts, images, other files).
5.3 The new or under construction websites remain locked until fully paid.
5.4 The creation of a website is performed directly on a server and it is delivered to the Customer installed there.
5.5 The web design/graphic design work refers to the visitor’s side, and not to the administrator’s interface of the website.
5.6 For the delivery/storage of a website on any storage medium, the Customer undertakes this work, or purchases the corresponding service.
5.7 The purchase of a web design service, does not include e-mail accounts’ creation or other tasks. Either the Customer undertakes such work, or purchases the corresponding service.
5.8 From time to time there are necessary updates and/or upgrades for software installed on websites, for security reasons.

The rejection of work must be expressed in written by the customer, before the delivery of the work to the Customer.
5.10 For new or under construction websites, work will begin as soon as all the Material has been delivered in full by the Customer, as described in the corresponding financial offer. If additional material is delivered, or if additional work is requested, the cost shall be adjusted for the extra work.
5.11 Some characteristics or special features on a website are based on default properties in the software used. The financial offers refer to these default properties e.g. appearance of a contact form. Additional features or design changes require extra work and extra cost.
5.12 If a software created by third party used in a website, presents any problem or any imperfection, philanthropy.gr ltd. is not responsible. This applies even if philanthropy.gr ltd. has advised the usage or the purchase of this particular software.
5.13 The material delivered for the creation of a website must comply with certain specifications. Philanthropy.gr ltd. can inform the Customer about the specifications of the material, if the Customer requests this information, or if the material delivered by the Customer is not suitable.

5.14 The assessment of costs and/or the equivalent in working hours is the sole authority of philanthropy.gr ltd. In some cases, philanthropy.gr ltd. reserves the right, to assess the cost by price and not by the actual working hours. For example, countless hours may have been invested in order to learn how to perform a very quick modification in the code.
5.15 Each website, after fully paid and delivered, belongs to the Customer who has exclusive and sole responsibility for all content but also for its software. Intellectual property is transferred by Philanthropy.gr ltd. to the Customer, to the extend of the specific and single piece of intellectual work, for the specific application. The Customer has the right to use, modify or delete the work, but the Customer does not obtain the right to copy, clone, distribute or resell the intellectual work.

The only exception to this term, is a written permission by Philanthropy.gr ltd. that a piece of intellectual work may be copied, or cloned, or distributed or sold.

5.17 The Customer is obliged to remove or accept the removal of the indication that Philanthropy.gr ltd. has created or hosts a website, after Philanthropy.gr ltd. makes such a request, based on the judgment of Philanthropy.gr ltd. that the website is not properly maintained or has been deformed, or for any other reason Philanthropy.gr ltd. considers that this website discredits Philanthropy.gr ltd. with its content or aesthetics or other characteristics.
5.18 The appearance and functionality of a website upon delivery to the customer, should be tested on a popular, contemporary and of latest version Operating System and Internet Browser.
