Please note that we do not provide SLA compensation for the following events: - Scheduled Maintenance: Any planned or scheduled maintenance activities notified in advance. - Customer-initiated actions: Downtime or issues caused by actions taken by the customer, such as configuration changes, software installation, or mismanagement. - Force Majeure Events: Natural disasters, acts of war, terrorism, or any other events outside our reasonable control. - Third-party Service Failures: Downtime or performance issues caused by third-party services or providers outside of our direct control. - DDoS Attacks: Downtime resulting from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks or other similar malicious activities. - Violations of Terms of Service: Any incident resulting from a violation of our terms of service or acceptable use policy. - Performance issues: We do not offer SLA coverage for performance issues on customer servers; however, we will investigate if the problem may be due to our configuration. If you believe your server's performance has degraded, please open a ticket for further assistance. SLA Credits Below is the table outlining the credits we will provide: | Uptime / month | Credit | |---|---| | 99.90% to 99.98% | Service extended by 3 days | | 99% - 99.89% | 50% of your monthly service cost (excluding add-ons e.g premium support, managed service cost, etc) | | Lower than 99% | 100% of your monthly service cost (excluding add-ons e.g premium support, managed service cost, etc) | When monetary credit is applicable, the agreed amount will be credited to your Onidel Cloud account. We reserve the right to determine the validity of any SLA compensation request.

Acceptable Usage Policy

Overview All Onidel cloud servers are governed by our Acceptable Usage Policy, which is designed to ensure the fair and responsible use of shared resources. This policy is in place to maintain optimal performance and reliability for all users. CPU Usages We consider abuse to be any usage that significantly or noticeably affects other machines or exceeds the intended limits of your plan. Typically, to avoid impacting other users, it's recommended that CPU usage on cloud servers stays below an average of 85%. If we determine that your usage is excessive, we may deprioritise your CPU access or, in rare cases, temporarily limit your CPU usage to 50% or lower. While most of our hypervisor nodes have ample CPU resources, making such actions uncommon, these guidelines help ensure fair usage. Brief spikes above 85% CPU are generally acceptable, but prolonged usage beyond this threshold may be considered excessive and could result in temporary deprioritisation or capping, particularly if the hypervisor node is experiencing a shortage of CPU resources. Cryptocurrency Mining Cryptocurrency mining is strictly prohibited. If we detect crypto miners running on your service, it will be suspended or terminated without prior notice. No refunds will be provided if your cloud server is suspended or restricted due to involvement in a cryptocurrency project. Bandwidth Usages Each cloud server is assigned a monthly bandwidth allowance, which varies based on the package you select. The bandwidth is pooled across all services within your account. If your account exceeds the allocated bandwidth, we reserve the right to take actions such as limiting the network speed, suspending the account until the next allocation period, suspending it until additional bandwidth is purchased at an extra cost, requiring an upgrade to a higher-level package, terminating the account, and/or charging an additional fee for the overages. Please note that unused bandwidth does not roll over to the following month. Services advertised with unlimited bandwidth are subject to a fair usage policy to ensure equitable access and performance for all customers. While we strive to provide generous and flexible bandwidth allowances, the following principles apply: - Fair Access: Usage should remain within reasonable levels typical of standard customer activity. Excessive bandwidth consumption that impacts the service quality of other users is not permitted. - Prohibited Activities: The following activities are strictly prohibited under the fair usage policy: - Continuous high-volume data transfers for purposes such as streaming large-scale multimedia content, hosting excessively trafficked platforms, or data mining. - Activities that result in sustained high levels of bandwidth utilisation, such as large-scale content distribution without prior written approval. - Monitoring and Review: Usage patterns may be monitored to ensure compliance. If a service exceeds typical usage levels, we may: - Contact the user to discuss their usage. - Request adjustments to their usage or recommend alternative plans better suited to their needs. - Temporarily throttle or restrict bandwidth to maintain service quality for other customers. - Exceptions: Users requiring consistently high bandwidth levels for legitimate purposes can reach out to us to explore tailored service options. - Enforcement: Violation of this policy may result in warnings, suspension, or termination of the service I/O Usages We don't impose strict guidelines on I/O usage. Our hypervisors utilise Gen 4 NVMe SSDs in distributed storage systems, making I/O usage generally not an issue. However, we expect you to maintain reasonable usage. We reserve the right to limit your I/O if we determine it is negatively affecting other users. Offensive Content You may not publish or transmit any content through Onidel's network that Onidel reasonably believes: - constitutes child pornography; - constitutes pornography; - is excessively violent, incites or threatens violence, or contains harassing content or hate speech; - is unfair or deceptive under consumer protection laws, including chain letters and pyramid schemes; - is defamatory or invades an individual's privacy; - poses a risk to personal or public safety, compromises national security, or interferes with law enforcement investigations; - improperly discloses trade secrets or other confidential/proprietary information; - is intended to help others circumvent technical copyright protections; - clearly infringes on another person's trademark, patent, or other intellectual property rights; - promotes illegal drugs, violates export control laws, relates to illegal gambling, or involves illegal arms trafficking; - is otherwise illegal or solicits illegal conduct under applicable laws; - is malicious, fraudulent, or could provoke retaliation against Onidel by offended viewers; Onidel does not permit the following types of material: - Proxy services, Warez, Escrow services, High Yield Investment Programs (HYIP), illegal gambling, and lottery sites. - Content "published or transmitted" through Onidel's networks, including web content, emails, bulletin board postings, chat, and any other transmissions relying on Onidel's internet services. Onidel reserves the right to terminate services for any of the above reasons and may, at its sole discretion, determine whether to issue a refund. Changes to the Policy This Acceptable Usage Policy may be updated at any time, with changes reflected immediately on this page. It is your responsibility to review the policy regularly and stay informed of any updates. We may send an email notification if significant changes are made.

If Onidel is unable to deliver the requested service, the Customer will be notified within 5 working days and will receive a full refund for any charges paid for that service. - Onidel will deliver its services to the Customer in a manner Onidel deems appropriate. The Customer Agrees To Pay - The Customer agrees to pay Onidel the fees associated with the services provided. These fees must be paid within 7 days of the invoice being sent. Invoices will be sent electronically via email. - Onidel reserves the right to adjust the amount and structure of the fees. The Customer will receive electronic notice of any fee changes, with a 14-day notice period before the changes take effect. If the Customer does not wish to continue using Onidel's services after the fee adjustment, they must notify us within that 14-day period, and we will disconnect their account. If no response is received, we will assume the Customer accepts the revised fees. - If the Customer fails to pay the fees within the specified timeframe, Onidel reserves the right to charge interest at a rate of 15% per year, accruing daily from the due date until payment is received. Onidel may also impose an administrative charge for late payments. - The Customer acknowledges that they are responsible for all fees incurred by anyone using their account login or password, regardless of whether they authorised the use. We strongly advise taking all necessary precautions to ensure the security of account login and password details. - If the Customer provides a credit card or direct debit authorisation, it will be charged upon renewal unless the Customer instructs otherwise. A 14-day notice period is required if the Customer does not wish to have a payment charged against an existing credit card or direct debit authorisation. Refund Onidel provides a 7-day money-back guarantee, during which customers may request a full refund. After this period, refunds are not available unless Onidel is unable to provision the requested service. Whenever possible, refunds will be issued using the same payment method as the original transaction. Any applicable transaction fees may be deducted from the refunded amount. For services purchased under a promotional plan, any eligible refund will be issued as account credit. Billing - Invoices for Customer's service(s) are typically generated at least one week in advance. If payment is not received, Onidel usually suspend Customer's service(s) after the due date, following repeated email reminders. Customer's service(s) may be terminated after one week, although Onidel may extend this period depending on the specific product. - For services with auto-renewal enabled, Onidel will attempt to use Customer's account credit to pay for the renewal one week before the renewal date. If Onidel are unable to use the account balance, an invoice will be generated, and The Customer will be responsible for making the payment for that invoice, even if auto-renewal is enabled. - If the product page indicates that Customer's service is in a "Suspended" state, there is a high likelihood that Customer's data is still intact. However, if Customer's service(s) is marked as "Terminated" or disappeared, Customer's data and service(s) are likely no longer available. - It is Customer's responsibility to cancel the service(s) through the control panel before the service due date.
