Acceptable Use Policy

Probax provides competitive and varying wholesale pricing structures to its Customers in good faith. You may not violate pricing rules to deliberately take advantage of pricing structures to minimize your costs. Examples include, but are not limited to:

• Veeam License Abuse. Sharing license keys across multiple end user accounts is prohibited. You must generate a license for each end user environment and correctly report the number of units being licensed (e.g. Virtual Machines). Failure to do so is a violation of this Policy.  
• SharePoint Backup Abuse. As per the Office 365 Backup & Archive FAQ, each SharePoint user that has been granted access to a SharePoint site that is being protected needs to have SharePoint & OneDrive protection or Exchange, SharePoint & OneDrive protection enabled. Failure to do so is a violation of this Policy.  Please note that as of 15th May 2021 we have implemented automatic activation of SharePoint Protection for all users who have access to a SharePoint Site that is being protected.
• Dropbox Backup Abuse. Backing up a Dropbox Business account that is being used to store an extraordinarily high volume of data (for example, large amounts of server backup or archive data). Dropbox Business for Team is intended to be used as a productivity app that lets teams share work and collaborate together with ease). Abusing the per user pricing structure of Dropbox Backup & Archive to backup a Dropbox Business account that is being used for anything other than team collaboration is prohibited.

You will not distribute, publish, send, or facilitate the sending of unsolicited mass e-mail or other messages, promotions, advertising, or solicitations (like “spam”), including commercial advertising and informational announcements. You will not alter or obscure mail headers or assume a sender’s identity without the sender’s explicit permission. You will not collect replies to messages sent from another internet service provider if those messages violate this Policy or the acceptable use policy of that provider.
