6.1 Restrictions on Access

You agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the System by any means other than through the interface(s) that are provided by us, unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate written agreement executed by us. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you specifically agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the System through any automated means (including use of scripts or crawlers).

6.6 Game Server Storage Usage

Your storage space for your game server data is unmetered. You can use this space to store files like mods, plugins, maps, and other game specific files.

We use the fastest NVMe SSDs in our newest servers, which optimize lightning fast speeds over capacity. We'll automatically remove backups created by backup plugins and out-of-control log files. Most backup plugins tend to use storage space in an inefficient manner. We already run daily backups that you can access in Vault (Backups). We'll also remove files unrelated to your game servers like videos, audio, etc.

For everything else, we'll let you know if your usage becomes an issue so you can look into it and/or make arrangements with us.

7.1 Responsibility to Maintain Confidentiality

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of passwords associated with any account you use to access the System.
