b) After at least 21 days of sending email alerts to the main
contact and the emergency contact and receiving no response, the
VPS's networking will be suspended. Networking will be re-enabled
when contact is re-established and a plan for securing the
problem service is agreed by both BitFolk and the customer.
Option b) doesn't sound excessive to me. When I was looking after
student networking at a Uni, we suspended network access for
misbehaving hosts with *much* less effort than that! Might be
worth your while publicising the fact that people can register
an emergency contact though. I'd not noticed this or registered
one myself (now fixed).
Option a) would (unless I'm missing it) require a change of your
terms and conditions and presumably a non-responsive contact could
claim they were never told about the changed T&C's. So, unless you
actually enjoy the task of chasing someone for cash they don't
want to pay, option a) probably isn't going to make your life
any easier!
Cheers,
Alun.
