3. Acceptance & Contract Formation

A legally binding contract is formed when we accept payment for a Service.

By completing checkout and selecting the acceptance checkbox, you confirm that you have read and agreed to these Terms.

Provisioning of the Service constitutes the commencement of performance under the contract.

We maintain versioned records of the Terms applicable at the time of purchase.

You must be at least 18 years old, or have permission from a parent or legal guardian, to purchase Services.

4. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms for the following reasons:

Pricing adjustments

For any Material Change we will provide:

At least 30 days' prior notice by email
A clear summary of the changes
The right to cancel before the effective date without penalty
A refund of unused prepaid service periods

Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

Administrative or non-material updates may take effect immediately.

5. Service Standards

5.1 Reasonable Care

Services are provided with reasonable care and skill consistent with industry standards.

Nothing in these Terms limits statutory rights available to Consumers under applicable law.

Service availability commitments and any applicable service credits are governed exclusively by our separate Service Level Agreement (SLA).

5.2 Infrastructure Protection

To maintain service stability and network security we may implement traffic filtering, rate limiting, service isolation, or other technical restrictions where reasonably necessary.

5.3 Backups

Backups provided as part of any Service are offered on a reasonable-efforts basis and are not guaranteed to be complete, accurate, or recoverable.
Customers remain responsible for maintaining independent copies of all critical data.

6. Consumer Cancellation Rights

If you are a Consumer purchasing remotely, you have the right to cancel within 14 days of contract formation.

Where you request immediate provisioning:

You expressly request that we begin performance of the Service during the 14-day cancellation period.
You acknowledge that you must pay proportionally for Services supplied until cancellation.
If the Service is fully performed within the 14-day period, your cancellation right ends.

We retain durable records of this consent.

7. Fees & Payments

7.1 Prepayment

All Services are prepaid unless otherwise agreed.

Accounts overdue may be handled as follows:

3 days overdue: Service suspension
7 days overdue: Service termination

Following termination, service data may be retained for a limited recovery period at our discretion. After this period data may be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

7.2 Late Payment)

Late payments may accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate, calculated daily from the due date until payment is received in full.
For Business Customers, this clause is in addition to any rights available under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.

7.3 Refund Policy

48-Hour Technical Guarantee

If a Service materially fails to meet the advertised technical specifications at the time of purchase, a refund may be requested within 48 hours. A material failure means a verified inability of the Service to provide the core technical resources advertised, including CPU allocation, RAM allocation, storage capacity, or network connectivity.

Dedicated Servers & Setup Fees

Dedicated server provisioning and setup fees are non-refundable except where:

We fail to provide the Service as described
Refund is required by law

AUP-Related Termination Refunds

If Services are terminated due to serious breach of the Acceptable Use Policy:

No refund is issued for service periods already supplied
No refund applies to direct costs incurred due to the breach

For non-serious breaches, unused prepaid periods may be refunded on a pro-rata basis.

Illegal activity
Crypto Mining or unauthorized cryptocurrency activities
AI model training

8.1 Enforcement

Minor Breach: Warning, suspension, remediation

Serious Breach: Immediate suspension

Repeated Breach: Termination

Serious breaches include malware hosting, participation in DDoS attacks, fraud, or criminal activity. Enforcement decisions are proportionate and documented.

We may investigate potential abuse and may access relevant service data where reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms or comply with legal obligations.

9. Unmetered & Fair Use Policy

Where services are advertised as "Unmetered", this means there is no fixed numerical cap on usage but usage remains subject to reasonable operational limits. Unmetered does not represent infinite resource availability.

Bandwidth usage is measured using the 95th percentile method:

Traffic sampled every 5 minutes
Calculated across a rolling 30-day period

Sustained bandwidth exceeding 1 Gbps at the 95th percentile on shared infrastructure may trigger review.

Storage must relate to active hosting use and may not be used for bulk archival unrelated to service operation.

Before applying restrictions we will normally provide written notice and a 7-day remediation period unless an immediate risk to infrastructure exists.

10. Data Protection

Robotic Node LTD acts as Data Controller for:

Account information
Billing records
IP logs
KYC documentation (where SMTP access is requested)

Personal data is processed under the following lawful bases:

Contract performance
Legal obligations
Legitimate interests including fraud prevention and network security

KYC information is collected only when necessary, stored securely, and retained only for as long as required.

Users may exercise rights under UK GDPR including: access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, and complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Further details are provided in our Privacy Policy.

11. Chargebacks

Customers should first attempt resolution through billing support before initiating a chargeback.

Where a chargeback occurs:

The transaction will be investigated
Account access may be temporarily restricted where reasonably necessary

Fraud reporting will only occur where there is credible evidence of fraudulent activity and in accordance with UK data protection law. Legitimate billing disputes are not treated as fraud.
