Enica Ltd will take all reasonable efforts to ensure that metering data and other configuration parameters are not visible or accessed by other Customers.

Any breach in privacy should be reported to Enica Ltd immediately.

Enica maintains antivirus checking software on the network and has a strict policy on checking all software loaded onto the hosting environment. However, due to the nature of computer viruses, Enica Ltd is not able to guarantee that provision of the Hosting Services will be virus free. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that adequate security and antivirus software is in place on all machines accessing the Hosting Services.
