SunnyVision reserves the right to refuse Services to any potential client and/or to deny renewal of Services to any existing client, at the sole discretion of SunnyVision.

Changes to Terms of Service and AUP

SunnyVision's Terms of Service and AUP are both subject to change at any time and without notice at the sole discretion of SunnyVision. A change in policy shall not be grounds for early contract termination or non-payment. Client recognizes that the nature of the service supplied and the initial rates and charges have been communicated to the client. The client is aware that from time to time rates may change based on availability of hardware, overall market conditions or other factors. Clients will be notified of any increases in rates or charges prior to the billing renewal date on which such increases will take effect.

Non-Payment/Service Interruption

Services interrupted for non-payment may be subject to a HK$300 late fee. 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 SunnyVision. Clients deactivated for non-payment or charge-back are subject to their data being destroyed seven (7) days from suspension/charge-back date. SunnyVision is not responsible for data integrity, regardless of circumstance. SunnyVision strongly recommends keeping up to date and off network backups to protect against data loss. 

Refunds/Charge-Backs

No Services rendered by SunnyVision are eligible for a refund. Prepayments and account credit are ineligible to be refunded, or transferred to alternate accounts. Any and all charge disputes must be reported directly to SunnyVision within thirty (30) days of the date which the charge originally occurred.

Suspensions

In the event a service is suspended for non-payment, it will be subject to termination seven (7) days from the time of suspension.

SunnyVision assumes no liability for the integrity of the data stored on a suspended server.

DSHelp!, Routine Checkup, Proactive Management

All DSHelp! services are provided on 'Best Effort' basis, and do not necessarily guarantee intended results. The Tier 1 and Tier 2 ticketing fee is limited to issues requiring an hour or less of tech time. Issues taking more than 1 hour to resolve will require a HK$600.00 Tier 3 Ticketing Fee in order to be completed. You may, however, choose to cancel the ticket for no additional fee. A final confirmation will be provided when the work is completed. Up to three (3) days will be given for the client to state if the work was not completed correctly.

SunnyVision shall not be held liable for any downtime that is due to any DSHelp! support.

Abuse/Spam/Bulk Email Policy

SunnyVision 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 spamvertized 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:

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. 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.
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. SunnyVision 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, SunnyVision reserves the right to issue a fine of HK$500 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, SunnyVision 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 SunnyVision with an explanation via online ticketing system within 10 days of the abuse ticket being opened. 

DMCA Complaints

SunnyVision handles any and all Digital Millennium Copyright Act (.DMCA.) complaints very seriously, and will thoroughly investigate each complaint received. SunnyVision 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:
A ticket is opened as a warning, providing 48 hours to resolve the situation.
After 48 hours with no client response, connection to the IP address from the DMCA complaint will be disabled at the network level. At this time, SunnyVision reserves the right to assess a HK$300 fine.
After 72 hours with no resolution, services on the server in question will be suspended.
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 HK$2000 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 HK$500 per hour that SunnyVision 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 HK$10 over the allotted bandwidth on the service. SunnyVision reserves the right to suspend any account which does not pay bandwidth overage charges within 15 days. SunnyVision 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. 

Payment Verification

Clients agree to submit to identity verification measures, designed for both the security of the client as well as the security of SunnyVision. The identity verification measures may include the faxing of two forms of government issued identification to SunnyVision, as well as a front and back copy of the credit card used for payment, as well as a copy of a utility bill with the billing address. In certain circumstances additional identity verification may be required, in addition to the previously listed forms.
