The following is 27Fibre’s Acceptable Use Policy ('AUP'). By using 27Fibre’s services ('Services'), you agree to comply with this AUP. You also agree to require your end users to comply with this AUP.

In addition, 27Fibre Ltd may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate your access to the Services, if any of your end users violate the AUP.

27Fibre Ltd reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as 27Fibre Ltd deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in 27Fibre Ltd's sole discretion.
27Fibre Ltd does not control or endorse the content, messages or information found in any Service and, therefore, 27Fibre Ltd specifically disclaims any liability with regard to the Services and any actions resulting from your participation in any Service.
As in all VPS environments, CPU cores and disk I/O are shared among multiple VPSs. If your VPS is consistently maxing out one full core or more and impacting the performance of other client servers sharing the same host node, we may ask you to reduce your usage. Load may be generated by CPU usage and/or I/O. Disruptive load may result in a reboot, shutdown, and/or suspension of the VPS regardless of the time lapse involved.
SECURITY / BREACHES / HACKING
Violations of our system or network security are prohibited, and may result in criminal and civil liability. Our servers and networks may not be used for:
- Introducing or executing malicious programs into any network or server, such as viruses, worms, Trojan Horses, and key loggers;
- Causing or initiating security breaches or disruptions of network communication and/or connectivity, including port scans, flood pings, email-bombing, packet spoofing, IP spoofing, and forged routing information;
- Executing any form of network activity that will intercept data not intended for your server;
- Evading or circumventing user authentication or security of any host, network or account, including cracking, brute-force, or dictionary attacks;
- Interfering with or denying service to any user, host, or network, such as a denial of service attack or distributed denial of service attack;
- Conduct designed to avoid restrictions or access limits to specific services, hosts, or networks, including the forging of packet headers or other identification information;
- Soliciting the performance of any illegal activity, even if the activity is not performed; or
