Abuse/Spam/Bulk Email Policy

Dedicated.com reserves the right to deny mail delivery from any servers hosted on our network if they are believed to be involved in SPAM or SPIM activities. This includes spam support services such as DNS or spamvertised web sites. Our abuse department will locate abusive servers based on public blacklist monitors, abuse reporting from external networks, and other means. If our abuse department receives a report or otherwise becomes aware of abuse-related activities active on our network, we will identify the server the abuse was initially sent from (via IP and in some cases by domain) and create a ticket on behalf of the user who occupies the server with information regarding the abuse such as logs describing the abuse and an explanation of what abuse took place.

The following actions will be taken on a case-by-case basis:

1. An abuse ticket serves as notification that our abuse department has received reports of abuse originating from the server. We require a client response to ALL abuse tickets within 48 hours of the ticket being opened. Typically no service will be suspended or filtered within the first 48 hours of an abuse ticket being opened. If a response is not received within 48 hours, or the server is determined to be abusive (or likely to be abusive in the case of spam blacklistings) after the ticket is opened, our abuse technicians may filter or disable ports or IPs assigned to the server temporarily to prevent further abuse until a response is received.
2. If a response has not been received to an abuse ticket within 7 days of being opened, the server is eligible for suspension and may be completely disabled until we receive a response.
3. Habitual neglect of abuse occurring on a client’s server may lead to service termination or longer-term port filters as some blacklistings can take several weeks to time out or be removed.

Dedicated.com reserves the right to refuse services to any client whose account(s) have been fined or terminated for abuse-related activities. If an IP range or IP address has been blacklisted as a result of excessive abuse reports, Dedicated.com reserves the right to issue a fine of $200 and immediately terminate the service.

Compromised servers issued abuse notifications: If our abuse department suspects that abuse reports associated with a client’s server are a result of the server’s security being compromised, our abuse department will offer the following options:

• At the discretion of our abuse department, we will typically offer the ability to log in to the server and remedy the security compromise while leaving the abusive traffic filtered.
• Offer an Operating System reinstallation, setting the configuration back to the original state it was provisioned in.
• If Operating System reinstallation is not accepted as an option, Dedicated.com may offer to manually retrieve/repair the files on the server, at a fee to be assessed and paid prior to any work being done.
• Habitual security compromises that result in abusive traffic being transmitted or received from the server may result in service termination.

If a client wishes to dispute any abuse reports, or any fine assessed in connection with abuse reports or blacklistings, the client must provide Dedicated.com with an explanation via Dedicated.com’s ticketing system within 10 days of the abuse ticket being opened.

DMCA Complaints

Dedicated.com handles any and all Digital Millennium Copyright Act (.DMCA.) complaints very seriously, and will thoroughly investigate each complaint received. Dedicated.com reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation.

The following actions will be taken on a case-by-case basis:

1. A ticket is opened as a warning, providing 48 hours to resolve the situation.
2. After 72 hours with no resolution, services on the server in question will be suspended.
3. After 7 days of being suspended and the issue not having been resolved, services on the server in question will be canceled and an Abuse Charge of $200 will be placed on the account. All client data will be destroyed immediately after the cancellation date.

Users who violate this policy and fail to resolve the situation within 48 hours agree that in addition to these administrative penalties, they will pay .Research Fees’ not to exceed $50 per hour that Dedicated.com personnel must spend to investigate the matter, to be charged only if claims are found to be valid.

Bandwidth Usage/Overages

Clients agree to pay any and all bandwidth overage charges accrued on their account from the previous billing cycle. Bandwidth overage charges are billed per gigabyte at a rate of $0.05 (five cents) over the allotted bandwidth on the service. Dedicated.com reserves the right to suspend any account which does not pay bandwidth overage charges within 15 days. Dedicated.com is not responsible for spikes in bandwidth that are caused on a client’s service for any reason. Client assumes liability for all bandwidth to and from their services. If issued an expected to exceed bandwidth notification, clients are required to make payment arrangements within 24 hours of that notification to prevent possible service interruption until adequate arrangements are made. These arrangements may include being required to pro-actively upgrade bandwidth.

Suspect Network Abuse

Dedicated.com provides many high transfer allocation limits as well as unmetered connections. Accounts with servers that are found to be abusing the network with acts including, but not limited to: reflection and other flood attacks, 90% port saturation in one or both directions over extended time periods, or traffic found to be interfering with other services, will find their port speed initially restricted while an investigation is completed. Results of the investigation will include any of the following: future mitigations put in place, service suspension, or service termination depending on severity and user history.

Colocation Terms Of Service

Customers are permitted, and encouraged, to drop off colocation equipment at the desired facility to ensure safe transport; the major carriers such as FedEX, UPS, and DHL are accepted. USPS shipments are not recommended and may result in delivery delays. All shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.

Our datacenter partner in the Los Angeles location Coresite has implemented the following package delivery policy starting July 10th, 2023:
 All customers to register their package deliveries in the MyCoreSite service delivery platform in advance of the anticipated delivery date.
 The new Package Management and Storage service provides for receipt of unregistered packages and limited storage/management of all packages pending retrieval by the customer.
 Unregistered packages will still be accepted subject to payment of an unregistered package delivery fee of $100 per package.
 All packages, both registered and unregistered, will be stored at no charge for a total of 14 days from receipt of the package at the data center.
 Any packages not retrieved within 14 days will be subject to payment of a daily package management fee of $10/day per package.
 Packages not retrieved within a reasonable time may be subject to return, the costs of which will be passed on to the customer.

 Our process remains that we require all colocation customers to notify us of incoming shipments with tracking numbers, and we will open package receipt cases on behalf of Coresite, as we have always done. In the event that you neglect to inform us of a delivery, and Coresite applies their fees listed above, we will pass these fees through 1:1 to you.

All full rack, full cabinet and cage colocation is unmanaged with the exception of the responsibilities outlined in (and limited to) the "Network Uptime SLA" section of our SLA. With the exception of guided tours, full rack, full cabinet and cage colocation, we are unable to provide data center floor access of any kind. All per-device colocation services are fully managed and customers of this service receive no data center floor access. There is a provision for access to full rack leases when scheduled 24 hours in advance. All requested work to include troubleshooting, configuration changes, relocation, shipping, or physical manipulation of colocated equipment is subject to a rate of the location's specific remote hands, billed in half hour increments. We also have a "no revolving door (NRD)" policy on colocated equipment. NRD is defined as limit enforced against habitual and excessive removal and replacement of colocated equipment in less than full rack leases. The amount of equipment swaps that is excessive is at the discretion of Dedicated.com staff. An initial warning is provided when reaching an amount that would be determined excessive, after which Dedicated.com reserves the right to refuse further equipment movement, cancel the responsible service, and return all equipment either via a schedule customer pickup or via major carrier at the owner's expense. When unavoidable, customers with concordant standard server termination/cancellation may incur costs associated with the process of unracking, packing and shipping of equipment, as well as placing equipment for pick up is also subject to both remote hands fees and shipping costs if applicable. No equipment will be released until all outstanding invoices and shipping costs are paid in full.

Dedicated.com will not insure customer-provided colocated devices or components, this applies to, but is not limited to single server or device colocation, full rack, full cabinet, cage or partial space colocation. Our limitation of liability will be the maximum of the monthly service price, and in no event will Dedicated.com provide compensation for lost revenue or data. Dedicated.com strongly recommends customers purchase their own insurance for their colocated devices.

Colocated servers that are located in a space less than one whole rack are required to be equipped with a Baseboard Management Controller "BMC", Intelligent Platform Management Interface "IPMI", Out-of-band "OOB", or other remote control management platform that is accessible outside of the installed operating system. Server grade hardware including SuperMicro (IPMI), Dell(iDrac), and Hewlett Packard(iLO) contain this type of technology platform and can be confirmed via the relevant motherboard manuals. For the included SLA and 30 minutes (applied in 15 minute segments) of free remote hands per month-per colocated service to apply, this equipment must be functional, reachable, and configured for the Dedicated.com team to access. Any customer service found where access is revoked either intentionally or unintentionally will forfeit all SLA & up-time guarantees until such time that access is restored. If access is refused or the required equipment is found to not be installed or functional, Dedicated.com reserves the right to cancel the responsible service, and return all equipment either via a schedule customer pickup or via major carrier at the owner's expense. No equipment will be released until all outstanding invoices and shipping costs are paid in full.

Special use scenarios may require that equipment be colocated that will not meet the remote access requirement. These will be handled on a case by case basis and must be agreed upon during the order process, prior to shipment, by both parties. This equipment will be subject to a $75 racking fee and ineligible to qualify for our SLA and free remote hands. An administration fee of $200 will be applied to new accounts for “Unconventional Equipment” for each server that do not meet this requirement. Configuration changes that would need to be applied to delivered equipment would not be covered by this racking fee and would require remote hands fees.

Services interrupted for non-payment may be subject to a $25 late fee at a minimum. Data stored on a client’s services will not be available to the client until reconnection is established or alternative arrangements are made to the sole satisfaction of Dedicated.com. Specific to client in being an unmanaged colocated client is granted full assurance that their data is considered protected even during a service interruption due to non-payment or charge-back, in the event this occurs or not Dedicated.com and it's partners have no grounds to destroy, alter or otherwise tamper with data stored on client's equipment. Dedicated.com still holds the right to deny access to any and all equipment until obligated payments are met in full by the client. Additionally, Dedicated.com still holds the right to derack said equipment to be shipped back at the cost of said client if abandoned, as well Dedicated.com also holds the right to claim any unmanaged colocated client's equipment as it's own, subsequent forfeiture becoming the property of Dedicated.com to recoup and/or sell to offset costs associated to service rendered for client who fails to pay their obligation. Abandoned servers/equipment will be subject to removal, disposal and destruction (if required) solely at the discretion of Dedicated.com. Abandonment is considered after sixty (30) days of non-payment and/or charge-back occurs and no indication of future payments. Clients deactivated for non-payment or charge-back are subject to having their services suspended thirty (20) days from suspension/charge-back date. Dedicated.com is not responsible for data integrity, regardless of circumstance. Dedicated.com strongly recommends keeping up to date and off network backups to protect against data loss. Abandoned servers/equipment is no longer protected by any SLA or guarantees, and subsequently is forfeited becoming the property of Dedicated.
