GDC Networks Data Cloud - Fair Use

Introduction

This Fair Use Policy (“Policy”) is designed to ensure fair and reasonable use of the Services provided by GDC Networks under GDC Networks Data Cloud Service Agreement. This Policy outlines the terms and conditions governing the use of the Services, particularly in relation to data storage limits.

GDC Networks offers unlimited storage capacity to You. This means that You have access to a generous amount of storage space for backing up Your data securely.

Your account is allocated a monthly data allowance (“Data Allowance”) per licensed user, and varies by protected workload. This Data Allowance is provided to ensure that You can effectively back up their essential data without encountering limitations.

• Microsoft 365: 100GB per licensed user
• Microsoft Entra ID: 15GB per licensed user
• Salesforce: 5GB per licensed user

While GDC Networks offers unlimited storage, You must adhere to reasonable usage patterns. Excessive use is defined as exceeding 300% of the allocated Data Allowance across all users. For example, 100 users of GDC Networks Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 would have a storage allowance of 10,000 GB or 10 TB. Excessive Entra ID usage is defined as exceeding 3x enabled Entra ID member users per licensed Microsoft 365 user. For example, if a customer has 100 Microsoft 365 users, they would receive a license for 100 users of GDC Networks Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and would have an Entra ID allowance of 300 enabled member users.

If You exceed 300% of Your Data Allowance, GDC Networks reserves the right to charge for additional storage costs incurred. These charges will be applied to Your account based on the amount of excess data stored beyond the Data Allowance.

If the number of enabled Entra ID member users exceeds 3 times the number of licensed Microsoft 365 users, GDC Networks reserves the right to address the excess Entra ID usage by charging for additional GDC Networks Data Cloud bundles.

You will be notified in advance if You are approaching or have exceeded Your Data Allowance. This notification will serve as a warning to You to adjust Your usage patterns accordingly to avoid additional charges.

You are expected to use the Services for legitimate backup purposes only. Any misuse, abuse, or illegal activities conducted through the Services are strictly prohibited and may result in immediate termination of Your account.

This Policy is designed to promote fair usage of the Services while ensuring that resources are shared equitably among all customers. You are encouraged to utilize the Services responsibly and considerately.

GDC Networks may amend this Policy by the same way as the Terms and Conditions. 

By using the Services, You agree to abide by the terms and conditions outlined in this Fair Use Policy. Failure to comply with this Policy may result in the imposition of additional charges or account suspension or termination at the discretion of GDC Networks.
