We firmly adhere to laws in countries where we do business, and welcome everyone abiding by those legal restrictions to be our customers - paid or free, in all but a few very exceptional circumstances:

  • The customer is engaging in illegal or unlawful behavior.

Sanctioned countries and companies

US laws mean we may also be prohibited from working with certain companies, due to ongoing US sanctions. In this case we do not have discretion - we are banned from working with these companies entirely.

  • Crimea
  • Democratic Republic of the Congo
  • Iraq
  • Libya
  • Lebanon
  • Myanmar (formerly Burma)
  • Russia
  • Sudan
  • South Sudan
  • Somalia
  • Ukraine
  • Venezuela
  • Yemen
  • Zimbabwe

US sanctions mean that we are not allowed to offer services at all to any companies based in:

  • Cuba
  • Iran
  • North Korea
  • Syria
