Customer Agreement
HavenCo operates secure colocation centers, hosting business infrastructure
for a variety of firms worldwide. HavenCo does not necessarily endorse
or condone the business models or activities of its customers; HavenCo
believes in providing reliable, secure hosting to all parties, as free
expression and exchange are ultimately more liberating, beneficial to
mankind, and profitable, than censorship and oppression. HavenCo
has subsidiaries, partners, and affiliates in several jurisdictions;
HavenCo's legal and business structure allows full compliance with
regulations within each country at all times.
Fundamentally, HavenCo's philosophy is to minimally restrict the
actions of customers; unlike the physical world, it is very difficult to
infringe upon another party's rights using networked computers, and it is
possible to enumerate and explicitly prevent most activities which could
possibly do so. HavenCo also places certain commercial terms and
conditions upon HavenCo's customers for commercial reasons. Our intention
is to be up-front about what restrictions we place on our service beforehand,
making these viewable by customers and non-customers alike, so potential
customers can make informed decisions as to the suitability of our services.
We are explicit about our policies, and enforce them consistently and
completely.
All HavenCo customers must agree to comply with the terms and
conditions of HavenCo's Customer Agreement,
which includes by reference compliance with the Acceptable Use Policy, and Terms of Contract, the three collectively called
"Terms". Actions of end-users of HavenCo's own customers, to the
extent that they take place on equipment located at HavenCo
facilities, utilize HavenCo-supported services, or otherwise impact
upon HavenCo's operations, must also comply with these Terms. It is
the responsibility of HavenCo's customers to ensure their own users
comply with these terms of these agreements; HavenCo will seek
recourse against customers directly (although not necessarily
exclusively) for the actions of their end-users, should these actions
violate HavenCo policies.
External parties which wish to bring a complaint to HavenCo against
a customer of HavenCo should first contact the customer directly; only
if the customer does not respond after a suitable time, or does not respond
satisfactorily, should external parties contact HavenCo with complaints about
HavenCo's customers. We will investigate and respond in a timely fashion,
in most cases involving the customer in the resolution of dispute, if the
customer has violated HavenCo's terms.
We believe in complying with all relevant laws in each jurisdiction in
which we operate, and we encourage all customers to comply with all relevant
laws as well. Within a given jurisdiction, HavenCo will fully comply with
any lawful orders, but legal action in one jurisdiction will not compel
HavenCo to take action in any other jurisdiction. HavenCo reserves the right
to respond with legal action in any applicable jurisdiction against any
customer who violates HavenCo's terms, or any other party which takes actions
which harm HavenCo or its customers.
HavenCo also provides certain quality of service guarantees to its users,
specified in the Service Level Agreement; this
document, along with the Terms, delineate HavenCo's obligations with
respect to customers, and provide explicit compensation in the event these
obligations are not fully met. HavenCo's quality obligations are solely to
HavenCo's customers directly; HavenCo has no responsibility to ensure
the end-users of HavenCo's services receive adequate service from HavenCo's
customers.
To report network abuse/AUP violation by HavenCo or HavenCo's customers (e.g.
unsolicited commercial email/spam, network flooding/denial of service,
unauthorized use of computer systems), please contact the
network abuse team. For any legal
inquiries or notices, please contact
HavenCo's legal department.
