3. Scope and Service Description

The Services provide on-demand cloud infrastructure capabilities, including cloud compute, storage, networking, API access, and related infrastructure features. Availability, performance, and features may vary by region, resource type, capacity, or operational constraints.

We may modify, add, improve, or discontinue parts of the Services at any time, provided we act reasonably and, where practical, give notice for material changes.

3.1 Beta, Preview, and Early Access Features

Some Services or features may be provided as beta, preview, early access, experimental, or pre-release features. These features may be incomplete, may change, may contain errors, and may be modified, limited, or discontinued at any time.

Beta, preview, early access, experimental, or explicitly non-production features are provided for evaluation and early testing unless we explicitly state otherwise. You should not rely on such features for critical workloads without appropriate backups, redundancy, monitoring, and risk controls.

Service level commitments, support targets, and credits may not apply to beta, preview, early access, experimental, or explicitly non-production features unless we state otherwise in writing.

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 or professional capacity. The Services are not intended for consumer use. If you believe you are acting as a Consumer, please contact us before using 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 where offered.
  • Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
  • Keep your billing, contact, and business information accurate and up to date.

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, fraud prevention, invoicing, or abuse prevention, we may require you to provide business information such as legal or business name, registered address, tax/VAT details if applicable, and other details needed for invoicing, compliance, and risk management.

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

5.2 Third-party sign-in

We may allow authentication via third-party identity providers such as Google or 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, abusive, or high-risk activities, including without limitation malware, phishing, unauthorized access, copyright infringement, unlawful processing of personal data, fraud, or activities that facilitate fraud or abuse.

6.1 Payments and 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, abuse of promotions, or similar 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 or 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.

6.3 High-risk resource usage

You must not use the Services for cryptocurrency mining, resource abuse, benchmark abuse, denial-of-service activity, spam infrastructure, proxy abuse, scraping abuse, bot activity, or similar high-risk workloads without our prior written approval.

You must not resell, sublicense, or provide public access to the Services as a competing infrastructure service, hosting service, proxy service, VPN service, anonymization service, or similar service without our prior written approval.

7. Customer Content and Responsibility

You retain all rights to Customer Content. You are solely responsible for Customer Content, including legality, security, backups, encryption, integrity, 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, including operating systems, applications, access controls, encryption choices, patching, firewall rules, secrets management, exposed services, application security, and your own users’ access.

7.2 Technical guidance and customer decisions

Any technical guidance, documentation, examples, templates, architecture suggestions, or support recommendations we provide are for informational purposes. You remain responsible for deciding whether a configuration is appropriate for your workload, security needs, operational requirements, and compliance obligations.

7.3 Backups and data loss

You are responsible for maintaining independent backups of Customer Content. Unless a specific backup service is purchased, enabled, and active, we do not guarantee that Customer Content can be recovered after deletion, corruption, misconfiguration, suspension, non-payment, termination, user error, or security incidents.

Backup, snapshot, and recovery features, where offered, may be subject to separate technical limits, retention periods, availability, and pricing. You are responsible for verifying that any backup or recovery configuration meets your requirements.

8. Provisioning, Resource Limits, and Fair Use

Resource provisioning depends on capacity and operational constraints. We may impose limits such as quotas, API rate limits, resource caps, maximum numbers of resources, bandwidth limits, or review requirements to protect stability, prevent abuse, manage capacity, and maintain service quality.

Limits may be adjusted over time. We may refuse, delay, or manually review provisioning requests where needed for capacity, compliance, abuse prevention, security, or operational reasons.

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, including compute hours, storage GB-hours or GB-months, network usage, IP addresses, load balancers, backups, snapshots, and similar resource usage.

Before you are charged, we will make available the applicable pricing, billing model, and payment terms for the Services. You are responsible for reviewing pricing before provisioning Resources.

Unless stated otherwise, prices are listed and charged in GBP (British pounds sterling). We may support other currencies where expressly shown at checkout, on an invoice, or in the Platform.

9.1 Billing cycle and invoices

Unless stated otherwise, Services may be billed in arrears, prepaid through account credits, charged at checkout, or charged using another billing model shown on the Platform, checkout page, invoice, or order flow.

For usage-based Services, invoices are typically generated monthly based on recorded usage for the relevant 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, VAT, 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, fraud prevention, and post-paid billing.

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

10.2 Chargebacks and payment disputes

If you dispute a valid charge or initiate a chargeback without first contacting us to resolve the issue, we may suspend or restrict the Services while the dispute is investigated. We may provide relevant billing, usage, account, access, and communication records to our payment processor, bank, card network, professional advisers, or other relevant parties to respond to the dispute.

11. Refunds, Credits, and Cancellation

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 and startup credits

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

Promotional credits may be issued in the amount, currency, and validity period stated at the time of issuance.

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, workloads, or time periods, and may require meeting eligibility criteria described in the promotion or startup program.
  • 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, VAT, 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.
  • 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.

11.2 Cancellation

You may stop using the Services at any time by deleting your Resources and/or requesting account closure. Because the Services are usage-based, you remain responsible for all charges incurred before cancellation, including charges for Resources that remain active until deleted.

Cancelling your Account, deleting your payment method, or stopping use of the Platform does not automatically delete active Resources unless we expressly provide that option. You are responsible for deleting Resources you no longer wish to use.

We may continue to charge for active Resources until they are deleted, suspended, or terminated according to these Terms and the applicable billing rules.

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

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 as described in Section 17.

12.1 Availability SLA

We target a monthly availability of 99.9% for the Covered Services, excluding scheduled maintenance and events outside our reasonable control.

The sole and exclusive remedy for failure to meet this availability target is the service credit described in this Section 12.

12.2 Support targets

We handle incidents via office@redu.cloud. The targets below are operational goals and may vary based on complexity, customer cooperation, and circumstances:

SeverityExampleTarget acknowledgementTarget updates
P1 CriticalPlatform-wide outage or core API/auth unavailableWithin 4 hoursEvery 8 hours where practical
P2 HighDegradation affecting many customers or key featuresWithin 1 business dayAs reasonable
P3 NormalSingle-customer issue, questions, minor defectsWithin 2 business daysAs reasonable

12.3 Definitions

  • “Covered Services” means the core control-plane services required to use the Platform, including the customer dashboard/console, authentication for Platform access, public API endpoints for provisioning and management, and core platform-managed networking components required for normal service operation. Covered Services exclude Customer workloads, customer-managed configurations, customer operating systems, customer applications, external internet paths, third-party networks, and customer-side connectivity.
  • “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 causes monthly availability for the affected Covered Services to fall below 99.9% during a calendar month.

12.4 Restoration target

For Downtime incidents within our operational control affecting Covered Services, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the Covered Services as soon as reasonably practicable.

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.

We may provide maintenance notices, incident updates, or service status information through email, the Platform, a status page, or another reasonable communication channel.

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, workloads, operating systems, or other customer-managed settings
  • Customer-side internet or connectivity issues outside our infrastructure
  • External internet paths, transit providers, peering providers, carriers, DNS providers, or third-party networks outside our reasonable operational control
  • Force majeure events, including natural disasters, widespread power grid failures, war, civil unrest, governmental actions, or other events outside our reasonable control
  • Third-party provider outages beyond our reasonable control, including upstream carriers, transit providers, payment providers, identity providers, and other external services
  • Beta, preview, early access, experimental, or explicitly non-production features unless we state otherwise in writing
  • Suspension or restrictions under these Terms or the AUP, including fraud, abuse, payment failure, or security incidents
  • DDoS attacks or security events requiring protective measures to preserve platform integrity
  • Scheduled maintenance

12.7 Remedy: service credits

If monthly availability for the Covered Services falls below 99.9% during a calendar month, your sole and exclusive remedy under this SLA is a service credit, subject to the claim process and limits below.

Monthly availability for Covered ServicesCredit percentage of monthly fees for affected Covered Services
< 99.9% and ≥ 99.0%10%
< 99.0% and ≥ 95.0%25%
< 95.0%50%

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 calendar month in which the Downtime SLA Event occurred.
  • 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, designs, branding, APIs, and related technology, excluding Customer Content. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Services during the term of these Terms.

Where practical, we will provide notice and an opportunity to remedy, except where immediate action is required for security, legal compliance, abuse prevention, or platform protection.

16.4 Effect of termination

Upon termination, access to the Services may be disabled and Resources may be deleted after a reasonable period. After termination or prolonged suspension, we may delete Resources and Customer Content after reasonable notice where practical.

You are responsible for maintaining independent backups and exporting Customer Content before termination, suspension, non-payment, or deletion. We are not responsible for Customer Content that you fail to export or back up.

17. Disclaimers

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, goodwill, 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

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 rights that may apply 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 between you and us regarding the Services.
  • 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.
