What is the IONOS Subpoena and Copyright Policy?

General

IONOS's Terms and Conditions prohibit the disclosure of customer information without the customer's express written consent except as required to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, subpoena or other legal process served on IONOS. If you require information regarding an IONOS customer you must fax, mail, or serve a valid subpoena on IONOS Inc.

The contents of web sites terminated for nonpayment are permanently and irrevocably deleted shortly after termination of the account, generally within five to ten business days. Such files can no longer be recovered.

IONOS will provide only such information as required or permitted by law. Pursuant to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 USC 2701 et, seq., IONOS is prohibited from providing the contents of e-mails or other electronic communications except under very limited circumstances, even in response to a valid subpoena or court order.

IONOS does not retain copies of deleted or sent e-mails or e-mail logs, although such e-mails or related information may be available on backup tapes for a limited period. IONOS does not have access to electronic communications which are downloaded to the customer's computer.

Civil Subpoenas

IONOS reserves the right to notify its customer prior to responding to a civil subpoena, and to delay compliance for up to ten days in order to allow its customer to move to quash the subpoena, except in an emergency or where otherwise required by law. IONOS will comply with civil subpoenas only upon payment of its expenses, as follows:

Research $75.00/hr
Copies $0.25/page
Other costs as billed
Compact Disks $10.00/CD

In addition, IONOS reserves the right to charge an administration fee to the customer pursuant to IONOS's Terms and Conditions.
