- "Services" refers to any hosting services, including game servers, dedicated servers, and related offerings provided by EUGameHost.
- "User" refers to any individual or entity accessing or using the Website or Services.
2. Use License
- Permission is granted to temporarily download one copy of the materials (information or software) on EUGameHost’s website for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing only. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title, and under this license, you may not:
- Modify or copy the materials.
- Use the materials for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial).
- Attempt to decompile or reverse engineer any software contained on EUGameHost’s website.
- Remove any copyright or other proprietary notations from the materials; or
- Transfer the materials to another person or “mirror” the materials on any other server.
- This license shall automatically terminate if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by EUGameHost at any time. Upon terminating your viewing of these materials or upon the termination of this license, you must destroy any downloaded materials in your possession whether in electronic or printed format.
3. Disclaimer
- The materials on EUGameHost’s website are provided on an ‘as is’ basis. EUGameHost makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and hereby disclaims and negates all other warranties including, without limitation, implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of intellectual property or other violation of rights.
- Further, EUGameHost does not warrant or make any representations concerning the accuracy, likely results, or reliability of the use of the materials on its website or otherwise relating to such materials or on any sites linked to this site.
4. Limitations
- In no event shall EUGameHost or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data or profit, or due to business interruption) arising out of the use or inability to use provided services, even if EUGameHost or an authorized representative has been notified orally or in writing of the possibility of such damage. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.
5. Accuracy of Materials
- The materials appearing on EUGameHost’s website could include technical, typographical, or photographic errors. EUGameHost does not warrant that any of the materials on its website are accurate, complete, or current. EUGameHost may make changes to the materials contained on its website at any time without notice. However, EUGameHost does not make any commitment to update the materials.
6. Refunds & Payments
- All game server(s), virtual private servers, virtual private servers and dedicated server(s) are to be paid for in advance. Failure to keep up monthly payments on your server can result in suspension and ultimately deletion of your server(s).
- If you decide to cancel a subscription with us, please also remember to cancel your PayPal subscription, which in some cases does not auto cancel. EUGameHost is able to refund all overpayments if the subscription cancellation script fails.
- Should you need to raise a payment dispute, the suspension of your service may need to be implemented whilst the investigation is progressing.
- No personal credit or debit card details are retained by EUGameHost directly.
- A monthly order (Renewal Of Service) counts as 30 days and EUGameHost provides a cooling off period of 24 hours. If the service is somehow not right for you, we can refund you (excluding dedicated servers which we cannot refund). After the 24-hour cooling off period, refunds can be denied.
- On new orders (non-dedicated servers), we offer a 48-hour cooling off period (Refund window) in which you are entitled to a full refund. After this 48-hour window, refunds can be denied.
- All dedicated servers are treated as a business-to-business transaction and are non-refundable due to their reseller nature. This, in turn, means no refunds can be given.
- The invoice charge will be placed 2 days before the actual due date to avoid late payments on automatic renewals. You have until the due date to pay. If the payment is not paid 2 days after the final date, it is suspended, and the system will automatically generate a late fee of up to 10%. This only applies to services that are still active.
- At our discretion, we reserve the right to refuse the renewal of services for any reason.
- Claiming a service free trial waives your 48-hour right to refund after payment should you choose to take up the service after the free trial expires.
- Eligible services, even if within the 48-hour refund window, will be deemed ineligible for refunds in cases where they are employed for illegal or malicious activities.
7. Fair Use

- Repeatedly submitting tickets in quick succession will put your support request to back of the queue. Continued misuse of the ticket system will result in a temporary or permanent ban from accessing support.

- EUGameHost provides backups for the following services by default, with two copies (snapshots) for Virtual Dedicated & Virtual Private Servers. Shared Game Servers get a minimum of 5 backups (excluding free tiers of services). All stored on a seperate machine.

- These backups are securely stored on a remote server and are not directly accessible by customers.
- If backups are unavailable due to an error caused by the user or EUGameHost, EUGameHost is not responsible for any loss of your data.
