3. Scope and Service Description

The Services provide on-demand cloud infrastructure capabilities. Availability, performance, and features may vary by region, resource type, capacity, or operational constraints. We may modify, add, or discontinue parts of the Services at any time, provided we act reasonably and (where practical) give notice for material changes.

4. Eligibility, B2B Orientation, and Authority

The Services are intended for business and professional use (B2B), including startups, development teams, freelancers, registered entrepreneurs/sole proprietors, and companies.

By creating an Account and using the Services, you confirm that you are acting in a business/professional capacity and not as a Consumer. If you are a Consumer, you must not use the Services.

You must be at least 18 years old and have legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. If you use the Services on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

5. Account Registration, Security, and Business Verification

You must provide accurate and up-to-date registration information and keep your account credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your Account, including actions by authorized users.

  • Do not share passwords or access tokens.
  • Enable and maintain multi-factor authentication (2FA) where offered.
  • Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.

5.1 Business information (required for paid usage)

You may be able to create an Account and access limited functionality using email or third-party sign-in. However, before paid usage (or when required for compliance), we may require you to provide business information such as: legal/business name, registered address, tax/VAT (if applicable), and other details needed for invoicing, fraud prevention, and legal compliance.

We may request additional verification and may suspend or restrict provisioning if required information is not provided or cannot be verified.

5.2 Third-party sign-in (Google/GitHub)

We may allow authentication via third-party identity providers (e.g., Google, GitHub). If you use third-party sign-in, you authorize us to receive basic profile information from that provider to create or link your Account. We do not receive your third-party password.

6. Acceptable Use, Compliance, and Risk

You must comply with the AUP and all applicable laws. You must not use the Services for illegal, harmful, or abusive activities, including (without limitation) malware, phishing, unauthorized access, copyright infringement, unlawful processing of personal data, or activities that facilitate fraud.

6.1 Payments / fraud-related prohibitions

Without limiting the AUP, you must not use the Services to conduct or facilitate payment fraud, card testing, phishing, credential stuffing, money laundering, or similar abusive activities. We may suspend or restrict Services immediately if we reasonably believe your use creates fraud, abuse, chargeback, or legal/compliance risk.

6.2 Sanctions and export controls

You represent and warrant that your use of the Services will comply with applicable Sanctions Laws. You must not use the Services if you are located in a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions (as applicable), or if you are a denied/restricted party under applicable export or sanctions rules. You must not use the Services in a manner that would cause us to violate Sanctions Laws.

If we reasonably believe your use violates these Terms, the AUP, or applicable law, we may suspend or restrict access to protect the Platform, other customers, third parties, or our compliance posture.

7. Customer Content and Responsibility

You retain all rights to Customer Content. You are solely responsible for Customer Content, including legality, security, backups, encryption, and compliance obligations (including GDPR where applicable).

7.1 Shared responsibility

We secure the underlying infrastructure we operate. You are responsible for securing your workloads (operating systems, applications, access controls, encryption choices, patching, firewall rules, secrets management, and exposed services).

8. Provisioning, Resource Limits, and Fair Use

Resource provisioning depends on capacity and operational constraints. We may impose limits (e.g., quotas, API rate limits, maximum number of resources) to protect stability and prevent abuse. Limits may be adjusted over time.

9. Pricing, Usage Measurement, and Billing

The Services are billed on a usage-based (“pay as you go”) model unless otherwise stated. Usage is measured by our metering systems and used to calculate fees (e.g., compute hours, storage GB-hours/GB-month, network usage, IP addresses, and similar).

9.1 Billing cycle and invoices

Unless stated otherwise, invoices are generated monthly in arrears based on recorded usage for the prior billing period. You agree that our usage records are the authoritative basis for billing, except in case of proven error.

9.2 Taxes

Prices may exclude taxes unless explicitly stated. You are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or governmental charges related to your purchase or use of the Services, except taxes on our income.

10. Payment Method and Payment Processing

We may require a valid payment method to create an Account and/or to provision Resources. This requirement may be used for business verification, identity verification, abuse prevention, and post-paid billing.

Payment processing is handled by third-party payment service providers. Payment details are submitted directly to the provider and are not stored on our servers. We may receive payment status, transaction identifiers, and invoicing-related data needed for accounting and support.

10.1 Non-payment and overdue amounts

If payment is overdue or fails, we may (after reasonable notice where practical) suspend the Services, restrict provisioning, and/or delete Resources after a grace period, to the extent permitted by law and consistent with operational needs.

11. Refunds and Credits

Refunds are handled according to our Refund Policy. Because the Services are usage-based, fees for consumed Resources are generally non-refundable except where required by law or in cases such as billing errors, duplicate charges, or verified unauthorized payments.

11.1 Promotional credits

From time to time, we may offer promotional credits, trial credits, free credits, or similar incentives (“Credits”) that can be applied toward eligible Service charges, subject to restrictions.

How credits are applied: If Credits are available on your Account, we typically apply Credits to eligible charges first. Only remaining amounts (if any) will be charged to your payment method for the applicable billing period.

  • Non-cash: Credits have no cash value, cannot be redeemed for cash or cash equivalents, and are not transferable.
  • Eligibility and restrictions: Credits may be limited to certain Services, regions, account types, or time periods, and may require meeting eligibility criteria described in the promotion.
  • Expiration: Credits may expire if not used within the period stated at issuance. If no expiration is stated, we may set a reasonable expiration or discontinue the promotion with notice.
  • Taxes and fees: Unless explicitly stated, Credits cannot be used to pay taxes, duties, or similar governmental charges.
  • Refunds and credits: Credits used to offset charges are considered consumed and are not reissued unless required by law or at our sole discretion. If a refund is granted, we may apply Credits first to outstanding amounts before issuing a cash refund or adjustment.
  • Abuse prevention: We may revoke Credits, deny issuance, or suspend usage of Credits if we reasonably believe there is fraud, abuse, policy violations, or attempts to circumvent eligibility rules.

12. Service Levels, Availability Target, Support Targets, and Downtime SLA

We aim to provide reliable and stable Services. However, the Platform may experience interruptions, errors, maintenance, or other outages. Except for the specific credit remedy described in this Section 12, the Services are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis (see Section 17).

12.1 Availability target (non-guaranteed)

We target a monthly availability of 99.5% for the Covered Services (as defined below), excluding scheduled maintenance and events outside our reasonable control.

This availability level is a target only, not a guarantee. The sole and exclusive remedy for failure to meet this target is the service credit described in this Section 12.

12.2 Support targets (severity)

We handle incidents via office@redu.cloud. The targets below are operational goals (not guarantees) and may vary based on complexity and circumstances:

SeverityExampleTarget acknowledgementTarget updates
P1 (Critical)Platform-wide outage or core API/auth unavailableWithin 4 hoursEvery 8 hours
P2 (High)Degradation affecting many customers or key featuresWithin 1 business dayAs reasonable
P3 (Normal)Single-customer issue, questions, minor defectsWithin 2 business daysAs reasonable

12.3 Definitions

  • “Covered Services” means the core control-plane and connectivity required to use the Platform, including: the customer dashboard/console, authentication for Platform access, the public API endpoints for provisioning/management, and core networking required for normal service operation (excluding Customer workloads).
  • “Downtime” means a period during which Covered Services are unavailable or materially non-functional due to a fault within our operational control, such that Customers generally cannot use the Covered Services as intended.
  • “Downtime Start Time” is the time we confirm Downtime based on our monitoring or a valid customer report (whichever occurs first).
  • “Downtime SLA Event” means confirmed Downtime affecting Covered Services that lasts for more than 24 consecutive hours.

12.4 24-hour restoration target

For Downtime incidents within our operational control affecting Covered Services, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the Covered Services within 24 hours from the Downtime Start Time.

This is a restoration target (not a guaranteed uptime percentage) and is subject to the exclusions below.

12.5 Maintenance

Planned maintenance may be required from time to time. Where reasonably practicable, we will provide advance notice of scheduled maintenance that may affect availability. Time during scheduled maintenance is not counted as Downtime for SLA purposes.

12.6 Exclusions

This SLA does not apply to issues caused by or resulting from:

  • Customer Content, Customer configurations, or software you deploy
  • Misconfiguration of security groups, routing, DNS, firewalls, or other customer-managed settings
  • Customer-side internet or connectivity issues outside our infrastructure
  • Force majeure events (natural disasters, widespread power grid failures, war, civil unrest, governmental actions)
  • Third-party provider outages beyond our reasonable control (including upstream carriers and transit providers)
  • Beta, experimental, preview, or explicitly “non-production” services
  • Suspension or restrictions under these Terms or the AUP (e.g., fraud, abuse, security incidents)
  • DDoS or security events requiring protective measures to preserve platform integrity

12.7 Remedy (service credits)

If a Downtime SLA Event occurs (Downtime lasting more than 24 consecutive hours), your sole and exclusive remedy under this SLA is a service credit, subject to the claim process and limits below.

Downtime duration (consecutive)Credit (percentage of monthly fees for affected Covered Services)
> 24 hours and ≤ 48 hours10%
> 48 hours and ≤ 72 hours25%
> 72 hours50%

Credits are applied as an account balance against future invoices (unless otherwise required by law). Credits have no cash value and are not redeemable for cash.

12.8 Claim process and limits

  • How to claim: Email office@redu.cloud with the subject “SLA Credit Request” and include your account identifier, the date/time range of the suspected Downtime, and a short description.
  • Time limit: Requests must be submitted within 14 days of the end of the Downtime SLA Event.
  • Verification: We will verify using monitoring, logs, and operational records. If there is a conflict, our records will be used to reasonably determine whether a Downtime SLA Event occurred.
  • Maximum credit: Total SLA credits for a single monthly billing period are capped at 50% of that month’s fees for the affected Covered Services.

For clarity: this SLA does not guarantee uninterrupted service and does not create any obligation beyond the credit remedy described above.

13. Support

Support is provided via email at office@redu.cloud. You agree to provide sufficient information for troubleshooting and to cooperate in good faith.

14. Intellectual Property

We retain all rights in and to the Platform and Services, including software, documentation, trademarks, and branding (excluding Customer Content). You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Services during the term of these Terms.

15. Confidentiality

Each party may receive confidential information from the other. Confidential information must be protected using reasonable care and used only for fulfilling obligations under these Terms. This does not apply to information that is publicly available, independently developed, or rightfully obtained without breach.

16. Suspension, Restriction, and Termination

16.1 Suspension / restriction

We may suspend or restrict access to the Services if we reasonably believe: (a) you violated these Terms or the AUP, (b) your use threatens the security or stability of the Platform, (c) required by law or authority order, (d) payment is overdue/failed, or (e) your use creates fraud, chargeback, abuse, or compliance risk.

16.2 Termination by you

You may stop using the Services at any time. You remain responsible for all charges incurred up to termination, including charges for Resources not deleted by you.

16.3 Termination by us

We may terminate these Terms for material breach, repeated violations, or if continuing to provide the Services is not feasible. Where practical, we will provide notice and an opportunity to remedy, except where immediate action is required for security, legal compliance, or abuse prevention.

16.4 Effect of termination

Upon termination, access to the Services may be disabled and Resources may be deleted after a reasonable period. You are responsible for exporting your Customer Content prior to termination where possible.

17. Disclaimers

The Services are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fully secure, or that they will meet your specific requirements.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claims arising out of or relating to the Services will not exceed the total amount paid by you for the Services in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

19. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising from your Customer Content, your use of the Services, or your breach of these Terms or the AUP.

20. Force Majeure

We are not liable for failure or delay due to events beyond our reasonable control (e.g., natural disasters, war, civil unrest, power or internet failures, supplier outages, or governmental actions).

21. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to provide notice. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

22. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer rights that may apply in specific cases under applicable law.

The parties will attempt to resolve disputes in good faith. If not resolved, the competent courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

23. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement: These Terms and the referenced Policies constitute the entire agreement.
  • Severability: If any provision is invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
  • No waiver: Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of rights.
