You must provide accurate, complete, and current information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities conducted under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account.

4. Payment Terms

Services are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis as selected at checkout. All prices are quoted in British Pounds (GBP) and are exclusive of VAT unless otherwise stated. VAT is charged at the prevailing UK rate for UK and EU customers. Payment is due upon invoice issuance. We accept credit/debit cards, PayPal, bank transfer, and cryptocurrency. Late payments may result in service suspension after a 7-day grace period.

5. Refund Policy

New VPS hosting orders are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of the initial purchase date. Refunds are processed within 5 business days to the original payment method. This guarantee applies to the initial order only and does not cover renewals, add-on services, domain registrations, or custom configuration fees.

6. Service Cancellation

You may cancel your service at any time through the client area or by submitting a support ticket. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. No pro-rata refunds are issued for unused portions of the billing period beyond the 30-day money-back guarantee window. We will retain your data for 7 days after cancellation, after which it is permanently deleted.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate services immediately without notice if: (a) you breach these terms or the Acceptable Use Policy; (b) your account is overdue by more than 7 days; (c) we receive a valid legal order requiring suspension; (d) your use of services poses a risk to our infrastructure or other customers. Where possible, we will provide advance notice and an opportunity to remedy the issue.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from or related to our services shall not exceed the fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, incidental, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be legally excluded.
