Subpoena Policy
Civil Subpoena Policy
Private Domain System’s Policy prohibits the release of account information without express permission from the account holder, except when required by law, to conform to the edicts of the law, or to comply with legal process properly served.
If you seek the account information of an account holder in a civil legal matter, you must mail or fax a valid subpoena to:
Private Domain Systems
Subpoena Compliance
815 First Ave, Suite 305
Seattle, WA 98104
Alternatively, the civil subpoena can be faxed to:
(503) 573-8363
Attn: Subpoena Compliance
Our Policies Regarding Email
Upon our receipt of a valid civil subpoena, we will notify the account holder. In most instances, we will not immediately produce the information sought in the civil subpoena in order to provide an opportunity for the account holder to move to quash the subpoena. Such determinations are made by our counsel and a case-by-case basis.
Fees: We reserve the right to charge an administration fee to the account holder. However, we will charge a fee to the person or entity submitting the civil subpoena for the costs associated with subpoena compliance. In such instances, we will issue an invoice to the person or entity submitting the civil subpoena and payment must be made to us or our designated counsel within 15 days. Our subpoena compliance costs are as follows:
- Research - $125.00 per hour
- Copies - $.50 per page
- Federal Express – Actual cost
We will not produce the content of email, as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. §2701 et seq., prohibits an electronic communications service provider from producing the contents of electronic communications, even pursuant to subpoena or court order, except in limited circumstances. We do not retain deleted or sent email.
We reserve the right to request a copy of the complaint and any supporting documentation that demonstrates how Private Domain Systems is related to the pending litigation and the underlying subpoena.
