- Data traffic means all network traffic generated by Client, incoming and outgoing. Incoming and outgoing traffic is added together for the purpose of calculating data traffic.

If this maximum is exceeded, the Supplier is authorized to charge an additional amount in accordance with the amounts for additional data traffic stated on the Website.

Article 10. Availability of the Service.

- Supplier does not make backup copies (backups) available to Customer unless Customer has purchased an additional SLA for this purpose. It is therefore the Customer's responsibility to make backup copies of the data stored at Supplier. Supplier only makes backups for continuity purposes. This is a non-binding service and no guarantees are given and the Supplier cannot be held liable for this.
Article 11. Liability
- The Supplier's liability for direct damage suffered by the Customer as a result of an attributable shortcoming in the performance by the Supplier of its obligations under this Agreement, expressly including any shortcoming in the performance of a guarantee obligation agreed upon with the Customer, or as a result of an unlawful act by the Supplier, its employees or third parties engaged by it, shall be limited per event or a series of related events to an amount equal to the fees payable by the Customer under this Agreement per year (excluding VAT).

- The Supplier's liability for attributable failure in the performance of the Agreement shall arise only if the Customer gives the Supplier immediate and proper notice of default in writing, setting a reasonable term in which to remedy the failure, and the Supplier continues to fail imputably in the performance of its obligations even after that term. The notice of default must contain as detailed a description as possible of the failure, so that Supplier is able to respond adequately.

However, Supplier shall never be liable for compensation for damage in connection with such taking out of service.
- Supplier has the right to modify its systems, including the Website, or portions thereof from time to time to improve functionality and to correct errors. If a modification results in a significant change in functionality, the Supplier shall make every effort to notify the Customer.

- If the Customer fails to fulfill any of its obligations under the Agreement, the Supplier shall have the right to terminate all Agreements concluded with the Customer in question without the need for notice of default or judicial intervention and without prejudice to the Supplier's right to compensation for damages, lost profits and interest.

Security Policy
We consider information security an essential part of our service. How we deal with this and how we have secured information security within Superspace can be found in this security policy. The basis of this policy is determined by our IS027001 and ISO27017 certification processes.
Last modified: April 1, 2021
Access policy
- Access to systems and data is allowed on a need-to-know/need-to-use basis. Based on logical access lists, our employees do not have access to more systems and data than is strictly necessary for their role. These access lists are checked regularly.
- For access to systems in which confidential data is stored, we use multifactor authentication capabilities. Customer may also enable these multifactor authentication capabilities for access to our systems. We strongly encourage Customer to take advantage of this.
- For certain systems in which confidential data is stored, access is limited to the IP address of our secure VPN connection. Customer may also restrict access to certain of our systems to a list of IP addresses. We strongly encourage Customer to take advantage of this.
- Customer may add, change and delete user accounts, access rights and authentication information in the system or service at any time.
- If (virtual) servers are part of a system or service, each server is securely installed and configured according to a documented procedure.
- The use/misuse of tools that allow security measures to be circumvented is prohibited, and there is protection against customers being able to use such tools on our systems.
Password policy
- We require for ourselves and for customer the use of strong passwords, where the password consists of at least 14 characters and a combination of lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols.
- We store our passwords and authentication data in a password manager, which is only available to authorized employees and systems, and only through an internal (VPN) connection. Passwords and authentication data should not be stored elsewhere. We strongly recommend that customers use a password manager as well.
- Using the same password (or variations thereof) for multiple systems is not allowed.
- Passwords should never be communicated by email, phone or via online chat. Alternatively, a one-time, shareable link can be created (as on secret.xxlhosting.co.uk), where the link expires automatically after opening it once and also after a certain amount of time.
- If password and/or authentication data leaks are part of a security incident that occurred at an external service we use, we reset our password and/or authentication data or delete our account at that external service. Our password manager monitors and informs us about security incidents at external services. We recommend that Customer also monitor security incidents at external services Customer uses.
Cryptography Policy
- All of our web and mail services and systems containing confidential data are available through an encrypted SSL connection.
- We mandate the use of TLS version 1.2 or higher.
- We require the use of SSL certificates with a maximum validity period of one year and a key length of at least 2,048 bits.
- For web services and systems with confidential data, at least an A score on ssllabs.com mandatory. This is checked regularly by us.
- It is the Customer's responsibility to verify that the cryptographic measures comply with the agreements, laws and regulations relevant to the Customer.
- For certain services where the customer manages a system itself (such as VPS and container hosting), the customer is responsible for the cryptography policy on the relevant system.
Disposal Policy
- If (removable) storage media, computers, or servers are used for systems or services (or to access them), these devices are disposed of securely after use according to a documented media destruction process.
- The data on these devices are securely disposed of according to a documented data destruction process.
Change Management
- Operational changes, changes in internal and external IT components, and any other change where there is likely to be an impact on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information within the scope of our security policy, we implement according to a documented change management process.
- If a change impacts service to the customer, the customer will be notified via email and/or our status page notified about the change.
- In certain management systems, the customer can perform actions that can have a major impact and/or cause security incidents at the customer, such as deleting or changing - in bulk or otherwise - domain names, DNS zones, hosting and server environments, files, databases and e-mail. We strongly recommend always performing such actions very carefully (following a change management process), having a rollback plan or backup ready, and using the "four-eye principle" for critical operations.
Management of technical vulnerabilities
- We regularly monitor and check for technical vulnerabilities found or patches and updates released for the systems and services we use and provide.
- You can email at support@superspace.nl report a technical vulnerability to us. We have described in our Responsinble Disclosure Policy how we collectively handle the reporting of technical vulnerabilities. You can find our Responsinble Disclosure Policy on our website: https://www.superspace.nl/voorwaarden.
- If a technical vulnerability or the installation of a patch or update impacts customer service, the customer will be notified via email and/or our status page informed about this.
- We have our systems scanned for vulnerabilities at least annually through a penetration test.
Capacity Management
- We continuously monitor and check whether our systems and services have sufficient capacity available. Based on this information, systems or services are scaled up or down.
- Customer can view consumed capacity in the system at all times. If Customer requires more or less capacity, this can be requested in the system or by contacting us.
Backup Policy
- We back up all systems and services daily, unless otherwise specified for a service. We maintain a minimum retention period for backups of seven days.
- We make backups to external servers, and where possible in another data center. These backup servers are accessible only through an internal (VPN) connection.
- We monitor, verify and test at least quarterly whether backup creation and restore is succeeding for all systems and services.
Retention Policy
- Our privacy statement sets out for each type of (personal) data how long and for what purposes we keep them. You can find our privacy statement on our website: https://www.superspace.nl/voorwaarden.
Logging policy
- We keep logs of systems and services containing confidential data for at least 30 days.
- We keep logs in a remote, central location whenever possible to prevent unauthorized modification and promote efficient analysis.
- We regularly synchronize all logging systems to the same (NTP) source.
- As far as possible, we avoid recording (special) personal information in logbooks. If logbooks contain (special) personal information, access to it is recorded and monitored by us.
- For certain services where the Customer manages a system itself (such as VPS and container hosting), the Customer itself is responsible for the logging policy on the relevant system.
Separation in networks
- We require ourselves to use a secure VPN connection to access our systems and services.
- On our internal and hosting servers, we have separated the network we use to manage these servers from the public network. The internal network can only be accessed via the secure VPN connection.
- Customer's hosting environment is set up in isolation through the use of virtualization or containerization, where processes, the internal network and file system are separated from other customers' hosting environments.
- We use separate and distinct servers for production and test/development environments.
Development policy & system acceptance testing
- We keep source code in repositories, and all checked-in code should compile without warnings.
- We always have the design and source code checked by a colleague before it is submitted for acceptance.
- During development, we always consider security of systems, privacy of (personal) data, common threats and vulnerabilities, and writing a test plan/script.
- We document which version of libraries and frameworks we use, and deploy them without modification.
- We do not use data from production systems, but pseudo- or anonymized data for conducting (acceptance) tests.
- We perform a regression test after every change or update.
Incident Policy
- We handle security incidents according to a documented incident policy.
- You can email at support@superspace.nl report a security incident or weakness in our security to us. We have described in our Responsinble Disclosure Policy how we collectively handle the reporting of security incidents. You can find our Responsinble Disclosure Policy on our website: https://www.superspace.nl/voorwaarden.
- If a security incident impacts customer service, the customer will be notified via email and/or our status page informed about both the occurrence of, as well as the progress in resolving the security incident.
- If a security incident occurs, relevant logs are copied to and secured on an internal system.
- The responsibility for managing security incidents rests with us, except when the security incident that has occurred relates to a website, application, account, software, system or domain name that Customer manages.
Supplier Policy
- If we rely on a third-party vendor to perform our services, and/or if a third-party vendor processes personal data on our behalf, we require that the third-party vendor maintain at least the same level of information security as us.
- An external vendor is regularly reviewed for compliance with our information security policy according to a documented vendor policy.
Availability & monitoring
- We continuously monitor and check the availability of all our systems and services, unless otherwise indicated for a service.
- If an outage/unavailability impacts service to the customer, the customer will be notified via email and/or our status page informed about both the occurrence of, as well as the progress of resolving the outage/unavailability.
- Depending on the service, we offer an availability guarantee and possible compensation if this guarantee is not met. This is laid down in our Service Level Agreement (SLA) and can be found on our website: https://www.superspace.nl/voorwaarden.
- We offer buyer capabilities, tools and integration options to monitor the availability and usage of our services. This varies by service and is explained on our website.

Service Level Agreement (SLA).
As a Superspace customer, you can expect our services to be of high quality and high availability. The agreements and expectations regarding this are described in this Service Level Agreement (SLA).
Last modified: April 1, 2021
Introduction
This document constitutes the Service Level Agreement ("SLA") of Superspace Hosting B.V., located at Zuiderplein 4, 8911AJ in Leeuwarden, and registered in the trade register under number 01089811 (hereinafter "Superspace") and applies to:
- Web hosting & email hosting
- VPS hosting
- Container hosting
(hereinafter "the Services").
The SLA aims to establish what the service level is for the Services. This is achieved by setting performance standards and defining the consequences of unexpected failure to meet these standards.
The SLA commences on the date of delivery of the Services and continues for as long as the Services are provided to the Customer.
Service level
The following elements determine the level of service and are addressed in this SLA:
- Availability
- Backups
- Updates
- Customer Support
- Change Management
- Report
- Actions (if performance standards in the SLA are not met)
Availability
The availability of the Services is a guarantee and is 99.9% of the time, measured per month.
The availability of the Services is measured by Superspace, and concerns only
- For web hosting & e-mail hosting: the availability of the web server (HTTP and HTTPS), database server (MySQL), mail server (POP3, IMAP and SMTP) and at least one name server (DNS);
- For VPS and container hosting: the availability of the network and hardware platform;
Backups
Superspace makes backups of the Customer's data stored in the Services, the software that is part of the Services and the configurations of the Services, with a frequency of one day. The backups are kept for one month (consisting of the last 7 daily backups and the last 4 weekly backups), before being overwritten. For VPS hosting, no backups are made by default, and customer can optionally enable backups for the VPS at an additional cost in our portal.
Even though we monitor and control the creation of backups, we do not verify that every backup is written away correctly. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that every backup is usable.
It is possible to restore an available backup of the customer's data to the Services at the customer's request.
Updates
We regularly monitor the availability of software updates and patches for security vulnerabilities, and perform updates as often as we can and find necessary on the servers and systems we manage. For certain systems and software, Customer is responsible for performing updates itself:
- For web hosting & container hosting: customer should update the placed websites, applications, data and/or software on the hosting service himself.
- For VPS hosting: customer needs to update the entire server environment including the operating system themselves.
Customer Support
Customer service can be reached
- by email at support@superspace.nl;
- by phone at +31880006666;
- via the online chat feature on our website.
Customer service opening hours are Monday through Friday between 9:00 am and 4:30 pm. Outside these hours, we monitor incoming inquiries via email and the online chat function with some regularity, and try to answer more urgent questions.
Change Management
The Customer may submit a request for modification of the Services through Customer Service. Superspace will make every effort to implement requests for changes, but until agreement has been reached on the content, schedule and possibly price of the change, Superspace may at any time decide to forego the change altogether if it considers the effort required to do so disproportionate or considers the requested change irrelevant.
Report
Superspace does not proactively report to the customer on whether or not the (performance) standards included in the SLA have been met. It is the customer's own responsibility to monitor this.
Measures
Should the availability of the Services from this SLA not be met, the Customer shall be entitled to compensation.
If the Services are unavailable for at least 45 minutes in a calendar month, the compensation is 20% of the charges paid for the Services for the relevant month for each full additional hour of unavailability, up to a maximum of 100% of the charges paid for the Services for the relevant month.

Notice & Takedown Policy
It may happen that a customer places (allegedly) unlawful or criminal content online with us. If we receive notification of this, we implement this Notice & Take-down Policy (NTD), based on the code of conduct of the same name published by the Dutch government.
Last modified: April 1, 2021
Article 1. Definitions
- Intermediary: Superspace Hosting B.V. located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under file number 01089811.
- Report: refers to the reporting by a Notifier to an Intermediary of (alleged) unlawful or criminal content on the Internet with the aim of having this content removed from the Internet.
- Notifier: the natural or legal person filing a Report.
- Client: the natural or legal person who put certain (challenged) content on the Internet and is a client of Intermediary.
Article 2. Notice-and-Take-Down procedure.
- If Intermediary receives a Notification through the report form, it confirms receipt to the Notifier as soon as possible. Intermediary checks the data as far as it can. In case of missing or incorrect data provided by Melder through the complaint form, Intermediary shall have the Melder provide the additional data.
- If it turns out that the information is not or is no longer online, or is hosted at another party, then Intermediary will inform the Reporter about this party. The Report is then settled.
- If the Notifier has not previously contacted the Client, Intermediary forwards the Report to the Client with a deadline of two business days to respond and informs the Notifier of the forwarding. Intermediary forwards the Client's response to the Notifier. The latter can then respond to Intermediary whether he agrees with the response. If so, the Report is settled. Intermediary informs the Client accordingly. If no response is received from the Client within two working days, Intermediary goes through the following steps.
- If the Notifier has requested removal of the material, but the Client appears unwilling to remove or modify the information itself, Intermediary will make its own assessment:
- If Intermediary itself believes that the Report is justified, it removes or blocks the material and informs the Client and Notifier that this has occurred. Intermediary motivates the removal to the Client. The Complaint is then settled;
- If Intermediary itself is of the opinion that the Report is unjustified, it will inform the Reporter of this, giving reasons. The Complaint is then settled.
- If the Reporter has asked for identification of the Client, but the Client does not want to disclose to the Reporter, then Intermediary makes its own assessment:
- If Intermediary itself is of the opinion that the Report is justified and the Reporter has a real interest in identifying the Client, Intermediary will provide the name and address details (establishment details) of the Client to the Reporter and inform the Client accordingly. The Report is then settled;
- If Intermediary itself is of the opinion that the Report is unjustified, or the Reporter has no real interest in identifying the Client, it will inform the Reporter of this, giving reasons. The Report is then settled.
- If there is an urgent report, Intermediary will go through the above points within one business day. The Notifier must motivate an urgent report. Based on this motivation, the Intermediary will determine whether the report will be processed within one working day.
Code of Conduct Abuse Prevention
Society must be able to rely on operators and providers of digital infrastructure to make efforts to prevent and combat use of their facilities for unlawful activities. To this end, such operators and providers use this code of conduct. Superspace has signed and acts in accordance with this code of conduct.
Last modified: December 1, 2021
Definition
Abuse is defined as: the abuse of digital infrastructure connected to the Internet in a broad sense; such as sending spam or phishing mails, spreading malware, DDoS, running a botnet, storing and distributing CSAM or other unlawful material, running a fraudulent website, etcetera. Abuse in any case includes unequivocally abusive activities and, furthermore, that which is considered undesirable by the operator in question.
Policy
Digital infrastructure operators:
- Are in principle neither liable nor responsible for the activities of the recipients of their services. Nevertheless, they will do everything in their power to combat abuse.
- They will clearly communicate this code of conduct to their customers and employees.
- Maintain an acceptable use policy for their customers and/or users, which defines what is expected of them if abuse is demonstrated in their activities.
- Enforce the NTD Code of Conduct and implement the associated processes in their organization.
- Adhere to (an) industry best practice(s) for abuse control appropriate to their activities, such as the Code of Conduct of the M3AAWG for cloud/hosting providers and make this (these) known to their customers.
- Do everything reasonably within their power to reduce the effects of abuse within their networks on other users of the Internet. Autonomous Systems do so by at least applying the measures described in MANRS.
- Implement policies to continuously improve their anti-abuse performance.
Information
Digital infrastructure operators:
- Publish on their website and in relevant whois registrations contact information for reporting abuse.
- Do everything reasonably within their power to obtain information about vulnerabilities and abuse in their networks and at their facilities. They shall do so at least by subscribing to abuse feeds, or joining CleanNetworks or consulting/connecting to other sources of information that provide insight on this.
- Reasonably accept all abuse reports received through automated systems and individual reports prepared by individuals.
- Inform themselves of their performance in the field of abuse control by consulting the sources available for this purpose.
Notifications
Digital infrastructure operators:
- Ensure correct contact information for their customers so that in case of abuse or suspected abuse, the customer can be contacted directly.
- Are proactive to their customers or users; that is, they take action when notified of abuse or vulnerabilities in their services.
- For those forms of abuse where the operator has knowledge of the nature of the abuse and its continuation causes serious harm to individuals, shall take immediate action to prevent or limit further harm. CSAM, phishing, rogue web shops and malware distribution are in any case included in these forms of abuse.
- Commit to suspend service, quarantine services or terminate contracts with such customers in the event of prolonged, substantial or repeated violations of the acceptable use policy by their customers.
Violations
- Users of this Code of Conduct report alleged inappropriate use of this Code of Conduct to (one of the) industry organizations that subscribe to this Code of Conduct, to the NBIP, or to the Internet Security Platform (PIV) of the ECP.
- The NBIP, the relevant trade association or the PIV will request an explanation from the organization concerned. If in the opinion of the above organization(s) the answer is insufficient, the party concerned will be requested to refrain from mentioning the use of the code of conduct. In that case, the situation will be reported to the PIV, to the ACM and the Ministries of Justice & Security and Economic Affairs & Climate.
- Participants in this Code of Conduct will, if possible, refrain from business relationships with organizations that are known to clearly act in violation of this Code of Conduct, or that can reasonably be said to intentionally facilitate unlawfulness.
This document
- This Code of Conduct will be reviewed periodically, based on feedback and experiences of the participants in this Code of Conduct.

This accessibility statement applies to the website https://superspace.nl
Thanks to the use of WordPress, Elementor and the Ally Web Accessibilty plugin, the rules are followed when building and maintaining the website. Examples of how we aim to achieve accessibility include:
- We take into account the WCAG guidelines in the construction.

- We provide a tool on every page of our website that allows you to adjust text size, color use and contrast, images and animations, among other things.
Compliance status
This website partially complies with accessibility requirements because not all plugins or elements meet these requirements as stated in Directive (EU) 2016/2012 of the European Parliament and the Council.
ALT text
Some images, which require ALT text, have not yet been completed with ALT text. We are working to make all (useful) images on the website accessible.
Color Constrast
The color contrast may not be optimal everywhere. Do you notice this? Please let us know at support@superspace.nl.
PDF files
Some PDF files may not be accessible. Do you notice this? If so, please let us know at support@superspace.nl.
Subdomains
The accessibility plugin that allows you to adjust color contrast, among other things, does not work on certain subdomains of our website, such as support.superspace.co.uk and dashboard.superspace.co.uk. We are working on an alternative solution.
Drafting this accessibility statement
This accessibility statement was prepared on May 1, 2025 and last revised on May 1, 2025. This statement was prepared based on a factual evaluation of compliance with the requirements of Directive EU 2016/2022 in the form of a self-assessment.
