3. Account Registration

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. We are not liable for losses resulting from unauthorized account access that is not caused by our negligence.

4. Services and Availability

We provide infrastructure hosting services including, but not limited to, virtual private servers, game server hosting, and web hosting.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any Service at any time with reasonable notice. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of Services.

5. Pricing and Payment

All prices are listed in US dollars. Subscriptions are billed on a recurring monthly or annual basis depending on your selected plan. Payments are processed through our third-party payment processor, Stripe.

7. Service Cancellation

You may cancel your Services at any time through your account dashboard or by contacting support. Upon cancellation, your service will remain active until the end of the current billing period. After that period, your server and all associated data will be permanently deleted.
