A mail message sent to other users within your domain names hosted on the OrderStorm system is not considered Bulk Mail.

     Unsolicited mail

You may not send unsolicited email. Email is unsolicited if you have no pre-existing relationship with the recipient, unless the recipient has published or otherwise provided his or her email address in a manner which implies consent to receive the email. You may not send email of any kind to a person who has indicated that they do not wish to receive it.

     Blacklisting/retaliation

OrderStorm may terminate your Services if your email address or related IP number(s) is/are blacklisted by any third party, or OrderStorm is retaliated against as a result of your use of the mail system, regardless of whether you are in breach of this Policy or are otherwise at fault.

     UseNet SPAM

You, the customer, acknowledge that to facilitate efficient server management, inventory and related activities, the OrderStorm servers may include an OrderStorm administrative account and password and/or a OrderStorm daemon. All reasonable precautions are made by OrderStorm to maintain the security of these tools and the privacy of client data. You will not tamper, hinder, delete or in any way change the functioning of these tools.

     Resellers

If you resell, rent or otherwise allow third parties to use any OrderStorm Services, you are responsible for use of the Services by such third parties in violation of this Policy to the same extent as if you were using OrderStorm Services yourself. You are also responsible for all accounting and support for your end customers.

     Disclosure to law enforcement

Occasionally, OrderStorm is required by law to submit customer information to law enforcement officials when presented with a valid subpoena or order from a court or governmental entity. Information requested is disclosed as directed pursuant to the subpoena or order. OrderStorm utilizes great care in keeping customer information safe and private and will only release information described in the subpoena order. OrderStorm will notify customer of the information request to the extent permitted by the subpoena or order.

     Reporting violation of the acceptance use policy

OrderStorm accepts reports of alleged violations of this Policy via email. Reports of alleged violations must be verified and include name, contact information, IP address, and description of the violation. OrderStorm owes no duty to third parties reporting alleged violations; provided, however, OrderStorm will use commercially reasonable efforts to review all verified third party reports.

     Resolution process for violations of OrderStorm’s acceptable use policy

The ultimate goal of this Policy is to balance the rights of our customers while ensuring full compliance of this Policy. The goal of our Resolution Process is to mitigate service interruptions while resolving potential violations under this Policy. Our sales, support and abuse staff is dedicated to working with the customer in resolving potential violations, and are available via phone or email. The resolution process below provides the process for resolving all potential violations. Timing for resolution differs according to the degree of the violation, the nature of the violation, involvement of law enforcement, involvement of third party litigation, or other related factors. Overall, OrderStorm is dedicated to working with the customer in resolving all potential violations prior to any service interruptions.

Step 1: First alleged violation of Policy:

A ticket will be generated under OrderStorm to obtain the customer’s master user account with information regarding the potential violation of OrderStorm’s Policy. This is often a fact-finding email requiring further information or notifying customer of the potential violation and the required actions to resolve the issue.

Step 2: Acknowledgement of violation of Policy:

A ticket is generated under the customer’s master user account with information specific to the violation. This ticket will also include any additional facts about the situation and will notify customer of the action required to resolve the violation.

Step 3: Violation of Policy disregarded, not properly addressed, or continuing violation if a ticket has been disregarded, not properly addressed, or resolved by the customer for a specified period of time:

OrderStorm engineers will turn the public access to the customer’s Services off. Access to the Services may then be achieved through the secure private service network for customer resolution. As soon as the violation is addressed, the public access shall be restored and service will continue as normal.

Step 4: Failure to address violation and resolve violation:

If customer fails to address the violation AND resolve the violation, a suspension of services may occur at OrderStorm’s sole discretion. This is a last resort for OrderStorm and only results when the customer completely fails to participate in OrderStorm’s resolution process. A permanent suspension of services includes reclamation of all dedicated services and the destruction of customer’s data.

Disclaimer: OrderStorm retains the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse new service to any individual, group, or business. OrderStorm also retains the right to discontinue service to customers with excessive and/or multiple repeated violations.

Revised 7/18/11

OrderStorm Inc. service level agreement

This Service Level Agreement (the “SLA”) is an integral part of your agreement with OrderStorm for the provision of services (collectively the “Services”) set forth on Service Order.

This SLA defines the terms of our responsibility with respect to the Services that we provide (the Service Commitments) and your remedies in the event that we fail to meet these Service Commitments. This SLA and the refunds set forth herein (the Service Credits) represent OrderStorm’s sole obligation and your sole remedy for our failure to meet such Service Commitments.

    The service commitments under this SLA area as follow:

100% Network Uptime

OrderStorm guarantees 100% network uptime for our public Internet network, excluding scheduled maintenance. In the event that our network does not experience 100% network uptime in a given month (excluding scheduled maintenance), OrderStorm will refund 20% of your monthly service fees for each 3 hours of network downtime experienced up to 100% (for all Service Credits in a given month) of the monthly service fees for those Services affected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you recognize that the Internet is comprised of thousands upon thousands of autonomous systems that are beyond the control of OrderStorm. This SLA and the 100% Network Uptime Service Commitment cover the provision of access by OrderStorm to the global internet “cloud”. Routing anomalies, asymmetries, inconsistencies and failures of the Internet outside of the control of OrderStorm can and will occur and such instances shall not be considered any failure of the 100% Network Uptime Service Commitment.

100% Infrastructure Uptime

OrderStorm guarantees that critical infrastructure systems will be available 100% of the time in a given month, excluding scheduled maintenance. In the event that critical infrastructure systems do not experience 100% availability in a given month (excluding scheduled maintenance), OrderStorm will refund 20% of your monthly fee for each 3 hours of downtime up to 100% (for all Service Credits in a given month) of your monthly fee for those Services affected. Critical infrastructure systems include all power and HVAC infrastructure, including UPSs, PDUs and cabling. Critical infrastructure systems do not include any software or services running on servers, nor do they include any server hardware.

Service Credit Requests

All SLA claims must be filed in writing to OrderStorm Accounting within 7 days of the incident. The support ticket must include all relevant information, including customer name, full description of the incident, and any logs (if applicable). All SLA credits will be issued as credits against future invoices for services.

In order to qualify for Service Credits, you must be current on all payment obligations, not be in violation of the Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy or any other policies and procedures of OrderStorm.

OrderStorm proactively monitors network uptime and infrastructure uptime. The results of these monitoring systems shall provide the sole and exclusive determination of network uptime and infrastructure uptime.

No Service Credits will be given for service interruptions: (i) caused by the action or failure to act by you or your personnel, (ii) which are the result of scheduled maintenance, (iii) due to a force majeure event, (iv) for which you are entitled to a Service Credit for the same or contemporaneous Service Commitment failure or (v) resulting from your breach of the Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy or any other policies and procedures of OrderStorm.

Total cumulative Service Credits during any given month shall not exceed your monthly fee for those Services affected.

OrderStorm may modify any aspect of this SLA upon thirty (30) days prior notice. Should you wish to terminate the Service as a result of such modification, you may do so by sending a termination notice to OrderStorm any time prior to the effective date of such modification. Absent such termination notice, the modified SLA shall apply from the effective date for as long as you continue to retain Services from OrderStorm.

Any use of OrderStorm Services in a manner which is defined or deemed to be statutorily illegal is a direct violation of OrderStorm’s AUP. This includes, but is not limited to: death threats, terroristic threats, threats of harm to another individual, multi-level marketing schemes, “ponzi schemes”, invasion of privacy, credit card fraud, racketeering, defamation, slander, and other common illegal activities.
