Policies & Procedures

Customer Access

  1. In order to access all Facilities, Customer will provide 365 with a primary contact person (the “Primary Contact”). The Primary Contact will be granted access to 365 Customer Access List (the “CAL”). The Primary Contact will add those named individuals (each, an “Authorized Customer Rep”) who (a) shall be granted access to specific 365 locations where Customer has Licensed Space and has approved access and (b) can submit work orders or requests to 365 relating to the Licensed Space or the Building (each, a “Work Order”). Customer’s Primary Contact may designate in writing up to two additional Primary Contacts having authorization to add/remove Authorized Customer Reps from CAL. It is the responsibility of each Customer to manage the CAL.
  2. 365 provides access to its facilities 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, except in the event of an emergency. Customers have the right to access the Facilities at all times in order to install, operate or maintain their equipment, subject to the provisions in this Customer Access section.
  3. The Primary Contact is responsible for adding Authorized Customer Reps to the CAL in advance of their visit to the Building. Any visitor to the Building and the Licensed Space whose name does not appear on CAL must be accompanied at all times by an Authorized Customer Rep. All issued identification must be worn at all times while in the Building. Any access card may be used only by the individual to whom it has been issued for obtaining access to the Building and the Licensed Space. Access cards may not be loaned or exchanged between individuals for any reason. Abuse or misuse of access cards may result in removal from the Building and denial of future access. Except as provided in this Paragraph 3, at no time shall Customer or any Authorized Customer Rep grant access to the Building or the Licensed Space to anyone. Customer shall cooperate in maintaining the security of the Building and the Licensed Space by restricting access to authorized personnel. 
  4. Notwithstanding the above provisions, 365 may require access to the Licensed Space in order to install or maintain equipment or infrastructure to support the Facilities.
  5. Customer badges will automatically disable if unused for 90 days.  It is required at 365 Data Centers that each entrant, if provided an access badge, present the badge to a reader wherever card access is required.  Tailgating/piggybacking entries are strictly prohibited.  If you do not present your badge to be read, not only does it violate this policy, it will also impact the badge activation status under the “automatic disable” rule. 

Use of Space

  1. 365 grants Customers access to and the right to use its Facilities to accommodate Customer Property through the MSA and Service Orders. These agreements do not grant to Customers or any other third parties any real property or leasehold interest in the space. Customers shall assume responsibility for any loss or damage caused by Customer’s Representatives. 
  2. Customer shall maintain the space in a neat and orderly manner and shall promptly remove all trash, packing materials, boxes, etc. that Customer has brought or had delivered to the Building. If the box or material is not removed by the expiration of the agreed upon time or an extension is not granted by 365, the box or material will be removed from the Customer’s Licensed Space and stored in a secure location. There may be a nominal charge for this action which is necessary to maintain the safety and integrity of the site with respect local codes and requirements. 
  3. The following items are banned from the Building, and Customer agrees not to bring these items into the Building or the Licensed Space: alcohol, cameras (smart phones allowed), controlled substances, explosives, flammable liquids, gases or chemicals, tape recorders, chemical agents, weapons of any kind, wet cell batteries and all similar equipment and materials.
