Title: JOLT SERVER CANCELLED!
Post by: adslrizla on May 08, 2002, 07:30:11 PM
After a discussion with one of the Jolt Admins on irc this afternoon I have sent the following email to Jolt :

QuoteAfter discussions with Bilb on irc I wish to cancel this server rental
request for the following reason :

I do *not* have full admin access due to the choice of games made. There
was no indication that these were Windows-only server processes when I
made the selection. At no point was I *ever* made aware that because of
this I would have to email requests in to stop/start/change game
processes. Full admin access in the context of a multi-game server means
the ability to remotely stop/start/change game processes. All you offer is
rcon access which is most definately not the same.

On this basis I am afraid that the server was missold to me and I request
a refund. Please advise when the chargeback to my card has been
transacted.

You *really* need to get your up-front documentation sorted guys. This has
wasted both my time and your time when a little bit of documentation would
have stopped me placing the order in the first place.

Regards,

John Naismith

Fortunately I still have most of your cheques. I will post a list of people whose cheques I still have later tonight. If you do not see your name on that list then you need to provide me with your details so that I can send you a refund. I will do this as soon as Jolt confirm that the chargeback has happened.

Hi Bud

So what happens if they turn round and say stick the chargeback up your little furry one  :lol:  Cause u know thats what they are going to say as they have probably got a mountain of T&C's that relate to this.

Point out to them the distance selling act.  If I recall there is a right to cancel a service within a few weeks if that service has not yet started.. Got to look it up to be sure though..

OK, if you see your name below then you do not need to do anything. Once I have confirmation of the refund from Jolt I will rip up the cheque. I can tie up some names easily to usernames, but not all. For that reason I'll just post the name on the cheque :

RJ BELL
JM HODD
IM BRYDEN
PR FERGUSON
T WHITFIELD
PM STUBBS
R FAY
NP THOMSON
MN SHORT

Out of the remaining subscribers :

Mike & Mark - I think I have your addresses but PM me;
Olli - need to know your details and whether a cheque is OK;
m0rpheen - you haven't paid anyway;
the remaining three (sorry guys - can't remember who you are :lol: ) need to contact me via email (you have my address).

Edit - Doh! Cookie & Spikey are two of the remaining three - my brain is turning to mush  :lol:

Once Jolt confirm the chargeback has taken place I'll send cheques out.

They are in breach of 4 sections of the distance selling act. The T&C's are extremely basic (look like they were written by a 14 year old), and have absolutely no standing in law as they breach your rights as a consumer by stating "no refunds" - not legal.

If they want to screw with me then they will regret it.
