US Treasury Embargo Restrictions
In accordance with the sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Sucuri is prohibited from doing business with anyone from certain countries, including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria, or with Specially Designated Nationals (SDNs). In the event that someone is in one of these countries, or if they are an SDN, they are not allowed to signup for any services or programs offered by Sucuri.
As for resellers and agencies, they are also prohibited from providing services to clients located in these countries, regardless of what country the reseller currently resides in.
These restrictions are not just for Sucuri, but for any company in the United States. For example, hosting companies or software developers cannot offer services to sanctioned countries, nor can any of their resellers or distributors.
