You may open a support ticket to document the start time for a support request or other incident, or if you contact us by telephone to request support, we will open a ticket. If you contact us by phone, there may be a delay between the time of the call and the time we open a ticket.
Requests
You must request a credit in writing either via a support ticket or by postal mail no later than seven (7) days of submission of the initial trouble ticket or support call.

Methods of Resolution for Violations of Drundo’s Acceptable Use Policy
The goal of our Methods of Resolution is to mitigate service interruptions while resolving potential violations under this AUP. Our sales, support and abuse staffs are dedicated to working with the Customer in resolving potential violations, and are available via phone, ticket, or email. The Methods of Resolution below is provided for informational purposes only and forms the framework and guidance with respect to resolving pot ential violations, but in the event of any conflicts between the Acceptable Use Policy (in particular its enforcement) and Terms of Services, the Terms of Services shall control.
Timing for resolution differs according to the degree of the violation, t he nature of the violation, involvement of law enforce ment, involvement of third party litigation, or other related factors.
Step 1: First alleged violation of AUP: a ticket will be generated under Drundo to prov ide the Customer’s master user with information regarding the potential violati on of Drundo’s AUP. This is often a fa ct-finding email requiring further informat ion or notifying Customer of the potential violation and the required actions to resolve the issue.
Step 2: Acknowledgement of violation of AUP: a ticket is generated under the Customer’s ma ster user account with information specific to the violation. This ticket will also include any additional facts about the situation and will notify Customer of the action required to resolve the violation.
Step 3: Violation of AUP disregarded, not properly addressed, or continuing violation if a ticket has been disregarded, not properly addressed, or resolved by the Customer for a specified period of time: Drundo engineers will turn the public network port to the specified dedicated services off. Access to the dedicated services may then be achieved through the secure private service network for Customer resolution. As soon as the violation is addressed, the public access shall be restored and service will continue as normal.
Step 4: Failure to address vi olation and resolve violation: if Customer fails to address the violation AND fails to resolve the violation, a suspension of services shall occur. This is a last resort for Drundo and only results when the Customer completely fails to participate in Drundo’s resolution process. A perman ent suspension of services includes reclamation of all dedicated services and the destruction of Customer’s data
