New colo contract says "reasonable wear and tear" on floor tiles · Datacenter Talk

I pushed back on language like this at a OVHcloud-adjacent facility two years ago and they actually amended it to "damage requiring repair beyond cosmetic" with a $500 deductible cap, though it took three weeks of email chains and one very pointed cc to their legal alias
