“Unmetered”/ “Unlimited*” Usage Policy
Certain services we provide—such as web hosting, cloud storage, and user account access—are offered with unmetered or unlimited* usage. This means you are not billed based on strict limits for bandwidth, storage, or number of users. However, these services are still governed by a Fair Usage Policy to ensure optimal system performance for all clients.
Fair Usage Guidelines:
You may utilize the service extensively, provided that your usage does not:
- Affect the stability, speed, or availability of the overall system,
- Interfere with other users’ access or performance,
- Involve high-resource activities such as large-scale video streaming, file warehousing, or bulk email distribution,
- Result in excessive consumption of CPU, memory, disk I/O, or network traffic beyond what is considered reasonable for typical business use.
We continuously monitor service usage to uphold system integrity. If your account exceeds fair usage thresholds or causes disruptions, we may:
- Issue a warning or usage notice,
- Temporarily suspend or throttle specific services,
- Recommend or require an upgrade to a higher-tier or dedicated solution.
Important:
“Unmetered” or “Unlimited” refers to the absence of predefined limits, not unrestricted or infinite resource use. It assumes good-faith usage aligned with normal operating behavior.
We reserve the right to take any action necessary to protect service quality and ensure fairness across all accounts.
Unlimited Cloud and Hosting Policy (with Soft Cap)
For services labeled as “unlimited” cloud or hosting, the term refers to flexible usage without predefined hard limits on storage, bandwidth, or user access. However, these services are subject to a soft cap determined by fair usage and technical capacity.
The soft cap is intended to:
- Maintain server stability and prevent abuse,
- Ensure equitable performance across all clients,
- Reflect practical system design thresholds.
Excessive or abnormal usage—such as sustained high CPU/network consumption, mass file warehousing, or automated heavy tasks—may trigger a notification, temporary throttling, or a requirement to upgrade to a higher-tier or dedicated service.
Note: “Unlimited” in this context is based on standard operational norms and is not intended to support enterprise-scale or resource-intensive workloads under basic shared plans.
Unlimited Service Policy (Working Hours & Shared Resource Model)
For services marketed as “unlimited service”—such as support, development, or advisory—this refers to unlimited requests within standard working hours, based on a shared team resource model.
Key conditions include:
- Service delivery is performed during our official business hours,
- Work is scheduled based on queue priority and team capacity,
- Urgent or high-priority needs may require add-on packages calculated based on man-day rates,
- Multiple clients share the same resource pool; therefore, simultaneous high-volume demands may result in queue delays.
Important: “Unlimited” service does not mean guaranteed real-time response or round-the-clock execution. For dedicated or urgent service needs, additional charges may apply.
Intellectual Property
All rights, titles, and interests in the services and related intellectual property remain the property of Synorex. Clients receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the services per agreement terms.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep all exchanged information confidential and use it only for the agreed purposes.
Termination
By Client
Clients may terminate services with 30 days’ written notice.
By Synorex
Synorex may terminate services immediately in cases of payment default or misuse.
Amendments
Synorex may modify these terms. Changes take effect once published on the website or communicated directly.
Governing Law
This agreement is governed by Malaysian law.
Dispute Resolution
Disputes will be resolved via arbitration under Malaysia’s Arbitration Rules.
Acceptance
By using Synorex services, clients confirm that they have read, understood, and accepted these terms.
