2.2. The General Terms are also applicable to Products and/or Services ArvanCloud obtained from a third party and delivered (be it with or without having treated them before delivery) to the Customer as well as to Products and/or Services delivered to the Customer for ArvanCloud by a third party, as a result of the execution of an offer, agreement or any other legal act.

2.5. In the event that a condition should become or should be declared void, the remaining conditions of the General Terms shall remain in full effect.

5. Fair Usage Policy

The resources allocated in each package of ArvanCloud products are designed to meet the needs of the general users with regular and usual consumption. Therefore, if you exceed the fair usage, your service will be limited. The amount in the Fair Usage Policy is stated for monthly usage per account and will be applied to all free and paid packages of Arvancloud products.
Several variables are used in calculations of the fair usage limits of each product. Yet, if while using ArvanCloud resources, you cause disturbance in stability, performance, and the quality of our services for other users, our experts can limit your service according to the Fair Usage Policy. Whether or not you are exceeding the limits of Fair Usage is usually decided by ArvanCloud experts and it is based on various factors.

6.4. At all times, ArvanCloud has the right to request (partial) payment in advance for the delivery of Products and/or Services, for instance through an authorisation of direct debit given to ArvanCloud.

10. Reclamations

10.1. Any contestation from the Customer regarding a ArvanCloud invoice or an amount recovered by ArvanCloud through direct debit should be notified in writing to ArvanCloud within fourteen (14) days following the invoice date or the date on which the direct debit was performed; past this deadline, the invoiced or debited sum shall be considered approved by the Customer.

10.2. Should the Customer consider that a Product or Service delivered by ArvanCloud does not meet the criteria agreed on between both parties, then the Customer should immediately notify ArvanCloud within fourteen (14) days following delivery or following the moment starting from which the Customer could have reasonably noticed the shortcoming indicated by it.

11. Intellectual Property

11.1. All rights on intellectual property pertaining to the Products and/or Services as well as to designs, programs, documentation and any other material developed and/or used for the preparation or implementation of the agreement between ArvanCloud and the Customer – or the rights deriving thereof – are solely vested in ArvanCloud or its suppliers. The delivery of Products and/or Services doesn’t entail any transfer of rights of intellectual property.

11.2. The Customer is always granted a mere non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the Products and results of the Services for the agreed purposes. The Customer will, during such use, strictly adhere to the conditions specified in the General Terms or otherwise imposed on the Customer.

12.1. The Customer will always timely supply complete information as requested by ArvanCloud, as well as any other type of information required for the delivery of Products and/or Services.

12.2. The Customer guarantees that the information mentioned in article 9.1 is accurate and complete and that it is entitled to provide the information to ArvanCloud in the frame of delivery of Products and/or Services. The Customer will indemnify ArvanCloud from all possible claims from third parties in this frame.

12.3. In the event that part of the information supplied by the Customer to ArvanCloud could be considered personal information, the Customer guarantees that the information compiled with the privacy laws in vigour at the time the information was supplied and that its use and treatment by ArvanCloud is authorized.

13. Confidentiality

Parties will also impose this restriction on their employees and on third parties employed for the implementation of the agreement between both parties.

13.2. Information will by all means be considered confidential if any one of the parties indicates it as such.

14. Liability of ArvanCloud

14.1. The legal liability of ArvanCloud for imputable faults in the frame of the implementation of the agreement is restricted to the compensation of direct damage suffered by the Customer up to a maximum amount equalling the compensation established in the agreement in question. If the agreement has a term exceeding one year, the established compensation will equal the sum total of compensations established for the ongoing year at the time the fault occurs. In no case will the total compensation for direct damage exceed € 250,- and – if the damage is of physical or material nature – € 250,- per event, whereby a series of events will be considered one event.

14.2. With direct damage is exclusively meant: costs the Customer had to reasonably incur in order to repair or discontinue the shortcomings of ArvanCloud so that ArvanCloud’s performance would again be in accordance with the agreement, as well as reasonable costs incurred to prevent or restrict such damage and reasonable costs incurred to establish the cause and the importance of the damage. If ArvanCloud and the Customer have agreed on a binding term of delivery, the costs will be taken into account, which the Customer had to reasonably incur to take emergency dispositions on account of ArvanCloud’s failure to deliver within the binding terms of delivery, less possible savings, also in the case of direct damage.

14.3. Each liability of ArvanCloud for indirect damages, including but not limited to consequential loss, loss of profits and loss of revenue is excluded.

15. Force Majeure

15.1. There will be no imputable faults ascribed to ArvanCloud in case of Force Majeure.

15.2. If the circumstances of Force Majeure have lasted for longer than sixty (60) consecutive days, the Customer will have the right to dissolve the agreement in writing and out of court. No damage compensation whatsoever will be imputable to ArvanCloud for damages suffered by the Customer on account of the dissolution of the agreement. ArvanCloud has the right to claim payment from the Customer for all Products and/or Services delivered to the Customer up to the moment of dissolution of the agreement.

16. Termination

16.1. Each party has the right to dissolve the agreement out of court in the event that the other party should fail to fulfil its obligations in the frame of the agreement and should remain incapable of remedying the breach within a reasonable timeframe after having received due notice in writing. Dissolution does not discharge the Customer of any obligation of payment for Products and/or Services already delivered by ArvanCloud, unless ArvanCloud is to be considered in breach with respect to a certain Product or Service.

16.2. ArvanCloud has the right to dissolve the agreement immediately without advance notice and without being considered liable for any kind of damage compensation to the Customer if suspension of payment has been granted to the Customer, if a declared state of bankruptcy has been requested for the Customer, if (part of) the possessions of the Customer have been seized, if the company of the Customer finds itself in a state of liquidation or goes out of business, if the Customer commits acts in violation of the (inter)national laws and regulations or if the Customer has supplied false information to ArvanCloud.

16.3. Immediately after the dissolution of the agreement (whichever the reason of dissolution), the Customer will stop using Products and/or results of Services provided to it and will return all programs, documentation and other material provided to it in the frame of the agreement.

16.4. Early termination of the agreement must be notified in writing, observing a period of notice of three (3) months at the end of the agreed period, unless otherwise agreed. The termination may be notified through (E)-mail, fax, or trough ArvanCloud’s online ticket system on the understanding that the period of notice will begin on the day that ArvanCloud receives the notice of termination. Gameservers and voiceservers have a minimum rental period of one (1) month and period of notice of one (1) month. Dedicated servers ordered through the automatic ordering process have a minimum rental period of one (1) month and a period of notice of one (1) month. A custom order/invoice has a minimum agreement of twelve (12) months and a period of notice of three (3) months. The notice of termination should mention the personal information and the customer number (if any). The notice should also bear the signature of the Customer.

16.5. We don’t allow porn or sexually exploitative content. We prohibit accounts that promote or distribute pornographic content, and we report child sexual exploitation to authorities.

17. Termination of Service

If you decide to discontinue receiving services, you need to stop all services in the user account and delete the information related to each service. If you fail to do so, the service will be considered active and you will be responsible for its settlement. Canceling any of ArvanCloud services requires you to officially declare that you no longer need the data related to any service.

If the financial status of your user account becomes debited (negative amount), your services will be treated according to the rules mentioned in the "Suspension for Nonpayment" section. If ArvanCloud decides that the user's activity damages the company's infrastructure and business or affects the services provided to users of ArvanCloud or any other user of the Internet- now or in the future- the company can terminate the user’s access to products and services without notice and will inform the account owner about this situation via email. The user's use of services and products of ArvanCloud must be based on the Fair Usage Policy. If ArvanCloud detects that the user is exceeding Fair Usage Policies, it can immediately and without the user’s consent terminate services and access to products and will inform the user of this situation via email. Whether or not the user is exceeding the limits of Fair Usage is usually decided by ArvanCloud experts.

Also, if you intend to use ArvanCloud products for non-defined and irregular purposes, ArvanCloud can immediately detect it and terminate your service, and limit your account without notice.

If you are using Cloud Server:

  • When your account reaches zero balance, you can no longer access the Cloud Server panel.
  • 2 hours after your account balance reaches zero, your Instance networks will be disconnected based on your account level, and you will no longer have access to the instances through panel, SSH or RDP.
  • 48 hours after your account balance reaches zero, your instances will be turned off but the cost of storage will still be calculated and deducted from your wallet.
  • One week after your account balance reaches zero, your instances, snapshots, disks and IPs will be deleted, and it will not be possible to restore or retrieve the data or resources of your instances at all.

Note: If you top up your account after the instances are turned off, you need to turn them on manually.

Note: In case the user consumes more disk IOPS and/or network PPS than included in the basic packages, the access to the instance will be automatically blocked. To recover the access user must contact the Support team via ticket.

Note: If you use local storage disks, keep in mind that since these disks are physically attached to compute servers, they are not resistant to failure and data loss.

The following events may cause disruption in these disks:

  • For any given reason, a physical disk failure occurs in the infrastructure layer.
  • For any given reason such as resizing, the instance is moved from the physical server.
  • When an issue occurs on the compute server hosting the instance and disk. It will not be possible to access the data in this case, until the server issue is fixed.

ArvanCloud is not responsible for the loss of your data due to the cases mentioned above. You need to implement clustering mechanisms at the software level to reduce possible risks.

  • After 24 hours the cloud icon will be turned off and CDN will be deactivated for your domains.

Note: After the CDN service is deactivated, traffic will be directly sent to your origin server, and the protection against attacks will be returned to its basic mode. Bear in mind that if the CDN is turned off, there is a risk that your origin servers’ IP will be exposed.

Note: If your domain exceeds the fair usage limit in your existing package, ArvanCloud CDN edge servers will be disconnected from your domain. You need to upgrade the package of that domain to a higher plan in order to pass the domain's traffic again through ArvanCloud CDN edge servers.
