Clients will be notified of any increases in rates or charges prior to the billing renewal date on which such increases will take effect.

Our Proactive Management

  • All managed services are provided on 'Best Effort' basis, and do not necessarily guarantee intended results.
  • Issues taking more than 1 hour to resolve will require a $30.00 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 two (2) days will be given for the client to state if the work was not completed correctly. After the two (2) days, the ticket is considered completed and will require an additional cost for more work to take place.
  • CAS company shall not be held liable for any downtime that is due to any support issue. Support time is not eligible to be counted in any way towards the CAS company SLA (Service Level Agreement).

Abuse/Spam/Bulk Email Policy
CAS company 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:
  • 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 96 hours 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.
CAS company 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, CAS company 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, CAS company 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 CAS company with an explanation via Billing's ticketing system within 7 days of the abuse ticket being opened.

DMCA Complaints
CAS company handles any and all Digital Millennium Copyright Act (.DMCA.) complaints very seriously, and will thoroughly investigate each complaint received. CAS company 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, CAS company reserves the right to assess a $25 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 $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 CAS company 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 $0.25 (twenty five cents) over the allotted bandwidth on the service. CAS company reserves the right to suspend any account which does not pay bandwidth overage charges within 7 days. CAS company 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 CAS company. The identity verification measures may include the faxing of two forms of government issued identification to CAS company, 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.
