Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated: February 2026
Purpose
This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") governs all use of Breej's services, including every virtual Windows Server environment provisioned through the platform. It exists to protect the integrity of our infrastructure, our other customers, and the public.
Violation of this policy may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account without prior notice or refund.

Upstream Infrastructure Compliance
Breej operates on enterprise third-party cloud infrastructure. Any activity that violates the acceptable use or terms of service policies of Breej's upstream infrastructure providers is strictly prohibited, even if not explicitly listed here. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with all applicable upstream policies.
Your Security Responsibilities
As a Breej customer, you are responsible for:
- Maintaining strong, unique credentials for your Breej account and server environments.
- Keeping your server operating system and software reasonably patched and updated.
- Avoiding exposure of services to the public internet without appropriate firewall and access controls.
- Responding promptly and cooperatively to abuse notifications from Breej.
- Maintaining your own backups for critical data.
Monitoring & Enforcement
Breej does not actively monitor the content of your server environments. However, we may investigate abuse complaints, review traffic and usage patterns, and take action where patterns indicate a violation of this AUP.
Breej reserves sole and final discretion in determining what constitutes a violation and may suspend or terminate services immediately. No refunds are issued for terminations resulting from AUP violations.
Reporting Abuse
If you believe your systems or others are being abused through Breej infrastructure, please report it immediately to abuse@breej.online. Include as much detail as possible: IP addresses, timestamps, and a description of the activity observed. We take all abuse reports seriously and aim to respond within 24 hours.
