Communications Acceptable Use Policy

1. Key Definitions

  • Service: Refers to Red Rock’s SIP and line service provided under your selected pricing plan.
  • Device: Refers to a modem or router provided by Red Rock.

2.  Unlimited Minute Service Plans (also known as Bundled Voice Services)

2.1. Violation of Plan

Red Rock reserves the right to periodically review the usage levels of unlimited minute service plans (“Unlimited Plans”) to ensure compliance with this AUP. If any abuse or violation is detected, Red Rock may terminate or revise the Unlimited Plan as deemed appropriate.

2.2.  Reasonable Use

You agree to use the Unlimited Plans for traditional voice or fax calls with a duration comparable to the average business client currently using Red Rock’s service. You must not employ methods, devices, or procedures to exploit the Unlimited Plans by using the voice or fax services excessively or for purposes not intended by Red Rock. Excessive use is defined by Red Rock as usage that substantially exceeds the average call volume or duration used by other Red Rock Unlimited Plan clients and includes attempts to originate or terminate multiple concurrent phone calls through any single line of service. Clients are entitled to use their full allocation of bundled minutes and beyond, but must do so reasonably. For example, using a full call plan in a single day is deemed excessive, but spread over the monthly billing cycle is acceptable. The maximum duration of any single call is 8 hours.

2.3.  Prohibited Uses

The following types of services are specifically prohibited and may not be accessed through Red Rock’s Unlimited Plan:

  • Monitoring services
  • Data transmissions
  • Auto diallers
  • Transmission of broadcasts
  • Transmission of recorded material

2.4.  Termination for Violation, Unreasonable Use, or Abuse

Red Rock may terminate the Service or change your service plan if, in its sole discretion, it determines that your use of the Unlimited Plan violates this Section 2, is otherwise “unreasonable,” or results in abuse of the Unlimited Plan.

2.5.  Unreasonable Use

For the purposes of this Section 2, we consider your use of the Service to be “unreasonable” if you:

  • Resell, rebrand, resupply, remarket, or commercially exploit our Unlimited Plan without our written consent in order to aggregate traffic from more than one customer over an “unlimited” line or trunk.
  • Set up routing functionality such that only outbound long-distance traffic is sent over the Unlimited Plan service.
  • Engage in any other conduct which is fraudulent, illegal, harassing or results in significant network congestion or degradation

3. Bundled Minute Service Plans – Minimum Commitment Contracts (“MCCs”)

Red Rock offers the Client two bundled minute packages, each with the following limitations:

3.1.  12 Months Minimum Commitment Contract:

Calls to 01, 02, and 03 numbers in the United Kingdom are free, provided that the cumulative total does not exceed 5,000 minutes multiplied by the number of SIP trunks per month contracted. If the bundled minutes are exceeded in any month, Red Rock will notify the Client via email before the minutes are exceeded, providing call options for the remaining period of the current month.

3.2.  36 Months Minimum Commitment Contract:

Calls to 01, 02, 03, and 07 mobile numbers in the United Kingdom are free, provided the cumulative total does not exceed 5000 minutes multiplied by the number of SIP trunks per month contracted for 01, 02, and 03 calls, and 2000 minutes multiplied by the number of SIP trunks per month contracted for 07 mobile calls. If the bundled minutes are likely to be exceeded in any month, Red Rock will alert the client by email before the minutes are exceeded, offering call options for the remaining period of the current month.
