Acceptable Use Policy

All users of the Sentry IT Enterprise Cloud must comply with this AUP. This AUP is made part of all other documents that reference it, including Master Service Agreements, Service Level Agreements, and Statements of Work. Your use and/or continuation of the Services constitute your acceptance of the latest version of the Sentry IT AUP. It is your responsibility, and contractual obligation, to ensure that your affiliates, agents, and/or Clients (End User(s)) comply with this AUP at all times. Based upon the dynamic nature of the Internet and Cloud/Web Services, Sentry IT reserves the right to make changes to this AUP at any time, and without notice. This AUP may not represent all possible ways in which you or your Clients, agents, or affiliates may engage in unacceptable behavior. We reserve the right to determine, in our sole and exclusive judgment, what activities are unacceptable. This AUP includes other Acceptable Use Policies that may be ‘passed through’ by other entities whose products and services are used to deliver Sentry IT Enterprise Cloud to you. Sentry IT will make applicable additional Acceptable Use Policies upon request.

Suspension and/or Termination of Service, and Service Fees

Sentry IT reserves the right to refuse to provide the Services at our sole discretion and may suspend or terminate current Services at any time, should you (or any of your affiliates, agents, and/or Clients) violate any element of this AUP. Any termination or suspension may be undertaken with, or without, notice to you. Any suspension or termination of services due to a violation of this AUP is void of any service refund of any prior fees paid to Sentry IT for those Services delivered as part of the Sentry IT Enterprise Cloud.
