Awesome Cloud Services, LLC’s Acceptable Use Policy
All users of the products, services and equipment provided by us (Services) must comply with this Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). This AUP is part of our Terms of Service (TOS). Your use and/or continuation of the Service constitutes your acceptance of this AUP. It is your responsibility, and contractual obligation, to ensure that your affiliates, agents, and/or customers (End User(s)) comply with this AUP.
You expressly understand that the evolving nature of the Internet and on-line commerce makes it necessary for us to reserve the right to make changes to this AUP at any time, and without notice. This AUP may not represent all possible ways in which you or an End User engage in unacceptable behavior. AwesomeCloud encourages prospective customers to carefully review sections of this AUP covering E-Mail/SPAM, Intellectual Property Violations, and Security. A thorough review of those sections, and the entire AUP, may help avoid creating issues under it that will cause AwesomeCloud to take action, up to, and including, termination of a customer’s account. Services we provide may be subject to other acceptable use policies. AwesomeCloud will provide these acceptable use policies to you on request. AwesomeCloud reserves the right to determine, in our exclusive judgment, what activities are unacceptable. The version of this AUP, available here (http://www.awesomecloud.com/about/acceptable-use-policy/), is the most recent.
1. SCOPE AND PURPOSE
Customers violate this AUP when they or End Users engage in activities prohibited by it. It is a customer’s responsibility and contractual obligation to ensure that End Users comply with this AUP. AwesomeCloud expects that customers will cooperate with it in the enforcement and administration of this AUP. A customer’s failure to do so is a violation of their contract.
Any use of Customer’s account, server, or any other service provided by AwesomeCloud will be considered use by the individual or entity set out in AwesomeCloud’s records as the owner, or principal contact. This individual or entity will be held responsible for all contractual obligations including violations of this AUP.
2. CONTACTING US ABOUT ABUSE AND REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION ABOUT CUSTOMERS AND END USERS

Complaints misdirected by a Customer or End User may not be responded to by AwesomeCloud. Complaints submitted to AwesomeCloud are not confidential and may be forwarded to AwesomeCloud’s customer or law enforcement, without notice. AwesomeCloud does not recognize requests that complaints be kept confidential, and will not honor those requests. Some abuse complaints may not receive a reply depending on the volume of abuse complaints about that particular issue.
AwesomeCloud may disclose information, including information that Customers or End Users consider confidential, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, regulation, or governmental request which appears to be valid. AwesomeCloud may also disclose such information when it is necessary for us to protect our business, or others, from harm. AwesomeCloud assumes no obligation to inform Customers or End Users that AwesomeCloud has provided this type of information unless AwesomeCloud has affirmatively agreed to do so. In some cases AwesomeCloud may be prohibited by law from giving such notice.
Our customer service and support staff have been trained to handle sensitive matters with diplomacy and tact. While we understand that often times customers become frustrated by technical issues, we expect our staff to be treated with the same respect that customers expect from us. Should customers abuse our staff members, we reserve the right to terminate a customer’s use of the Services, without penalty or refund.
