FAIR USE POLICY

All PoSilCo Shared/CloudLinux hosting plans have unlimited data transfer (Bandwith) limits but are subject to our Fair Use Policy. This policy aims to prevent abuse and ensure stable services, allowing usage up to twice the average capacity used by similar users/services.

If you are unsure whether you will exceed the fair use policy, please contact us for clarification. The policy is designed for extreme situations and is ideally not enforced frequently.

If you exceed the fair use policy, we will inform you of the excessive usage. If this happens more than once, we may adjust prices for current and future periods. We will notify you of any changes.

Depending on the contract, these changes do not cancel earlier agreements or give the right to terminate the contract early. If you disagree with the proposed solution, options include reducing resource usage within the fair use limits or, if technically possible, enforcing the fair use limits without increasing the price. Note that enforcing limits may degrade service quality, so it is not the preferred solution. If no solution can be found, posilco.com may cancel the service, or you may apply for cancellation.

In cases of significant exceeding of the fair use policy, we may take direct action. This can include excessive data traffic or bandwidth usage in a short period or any activity that affects other customers. Fair use limits are designed for monthly use; excessive usage within a day or week may negatively impact others.

The fair use policy applies to various resources, including but not limited to:

1. 1. 1. Volume of data traffic
      2. Data traffic
      3. Processing capacity
      4. Memory
      5. Storage
      6. Electricity
      7. Server management
