Reporting Violation of the Acceptable Use Policy

Armor accepts reports of alleged violations of this AUP via abuse@armor.com.

Reports of alleged violations should include name, contact information, IP address, and description of the violation. While Armor's policy is to use commercially reasonable efforts to review all third-party reports and take appropriate actions as described within the resolution process set forth below, Armor will neither assume nor owe any duty to any third party that files a report alleging a violation of this AUP.

Resolution Process for Violations of Armor's Acceptable Use Policy

The ultimate goal of this AUP is to balance the rights of our customers with the policies set forth in this AUP. The goal of the Resolution Process described below is to mitigate service interruptions while resolving potential violations of this AUP. Our staff is dedicated to working with the customer in resolving potential violations. The resolution process below provides the process for resolving all potential violations. Timing for resolution differs according to the degree of the violation, the nature of the violation, involvement of law enforcement, involvement of third-party litigation, or other related factors. Overall, Armor is dedicated to working with the customer in resolving, where practical, all potential AUP violations prior to any interruption of the Services.

Step 1: Identification of potential AUP violation:

Armor actively monitors its infrastructure and all Services and may, in the course of monitoring and managing its infrastructure and Services, uncover potential violations of this AUP. AUP violations may also be identified through reports received from third parties as described above.

Step 2: Notification and investigation of potential AUP violation:

A ticket will be generated under the customer's portal account with information regarding the potential violation of this AUP.

Following the generation of the ticket, Armor will work with the customer to investigate the reported violation and advise remedial actions required to resolve the violation.

Following such investigation, if Armor discovers there has been no violation of this AUP or the remedial actions have been completed by the customer to Armor's reasonable satisfaction, the applicable ticket will be closed and no further action will be taken.

Step 3: If the reported violation of the AUP is disregarded or not properly addressed:

If the reported violation of this AUP is disregarded or not properly addressed by the customer, Armor may remove public access to the Services or disable the Services. If Armor takes this step, Armor may allow customer access to the Services via a secure non-public network, if such access is necessary for customer to complete any necessary remedial actions.

As soon as the violation is addressed to Armor's reasonable satisfaction, either public access to the Services shall be restored or the Services will be enabled.

If the customer will not or cannot resolve the violation of this AUP or fails to participate in Armor's resolution process, Armor may terminate the Services at its sole discretion.

Disclaimer: Armor retains the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse new Services to any individual, group, or business. Armor also retains the right to discontinue Services to customers with excessive and/or multiple repeated violations. No credit will be available under any applicable Service Level Agreement for interruptions of the Services resulting from AUP violations.
