Our Responsibilities:

  • Service Level Agreement (SLA) Commitment: We guarantee a 95% uptime for our services. This SLA is a pledge to our commitment towards service reliability and quality. Excluding downtime due to DDoS attacks or other network security incidents. We ensure proactive monitoring and maintenance to meet this commitment. However, it is important to note that during DDoS attacks or similar network security incidents, server connectivity might be disrupted, and such periods will not be counted against the SLA. All network status updates, including those related to DDoS attacks and other security incidents, will be promptly communicated on our network issue page.

  • Maintenance and Server Failures: In the event of server failures, we promise to promptly investigate and address these issues to ensure normal service operations. Our technical team is dedicated to maintaining the integrity and performance of our services.

  • Resource Allocation and Fair Use: We engage in long-term monitoring to ensure fair allocation of shared resources on the host machine. In line with this, we will take necessary actions, including the removal of customers who persistently abuse resources, to maintain service quality for all users.

  • Technical Support Limitations: Currently, UserCloud does not offer extensive technical support services. Our support is primarily focused on issues directly related to the mother machine and VPS. Except for these areas, we generally do not provide technical assistance, including the installation of agent panels and agent maintenance services. We request our users to be aware of these limitations in technical support.

Additional Provisions:

International and Backbone Network Issues: In the event of international or backbone network disruptions, such as blockages or slowdowns, which may affect local areas, UserCloud Solution LTD will not be held responsible for any resulting service degradation. Customers are expected to acknowledge these circumstances as external and beyond our control, and adapt accordingly.

III. Fair Use Resources

CPU Utilization:

Users are encouraged to maintain an average CPU utilization under 30%. Consistent usage beyond this threshold may impact server performance and lead to corrective actions, such as limiting resources for the violating account.

Bandwidth Usage:

While users are free to utilize bandwidth according to their individual product needs, it is generally not considered normal to sustain usage beyond 60% of the product-specific bandwidth capacity continuously. 

This policy, applied uniformly across all products, ensures fair allocation of resources for all customers.

IV. Refund Policy

Customers are eligible for a refund within the first 7 days (1 weeks) after the activation of their server.

To initiate a refund, customers must open a ticket within the stipulated 7 days (1 week) timeframe to our billing department. A cancellation request is not sufficient for requesting a refund, a ticket must be opened.

Refunds will be processed only if the total traffic usage does not exceed 2GB during the specified 7-day period. Traffic usage exceeding this limit will void eligibility for a refund. Also the request is made within the 7-day period. Accounts violating our acceptable use policy are not eligible for refunds.

Refunds will be issued using the original payment method. Please allow a reasonable processing time for the refund to reflect in your account.

Any payment fees associated with the transaction may be deducted from the refund, such as setup fee, and fees charged by our payment processors.
