  • SSH command-line access
  • VNC graphical desktop

Account & Credentials

Accurate info, one account per user, protect your password

Registration Information

You must provide accurate, complete information and keep it updated. You are responsible for consequences of false information. Each user may hold only one primary account.

Security Responsibility

You are responsible for safeguarding your password and session. All actions on your account are treated as your own. Report unauthorized access via a ticket as soon as possible — we cannot retroactively take responsibility for actions that occurred before the report.

Transfer Restrictions

You may not sell, lend, or sublease your account or any rights therein without written consent. Violations may result in immediate account suspension without refund.

04

Acceptable Use

Resources may only be used for lawful purposes in compliance with applicable laws

The following activities may result in immediate termination without refund:

  • Violating any applicable law or regulation
  • Network attacks, DDoS, scanning, or intrusion of third-party systems
  • Sending spam or phishing content
  • Distributing malware, viruses, ransomware, or similar
  • Unauthorized cryptocurrency mining
  • Operating proxies, VPNs, or large-scale traffic relays without written permission
  • Infringing on third-party intellectual property, privacy, or other rights
  • Damaging platform infrastructure, network stability, or other users' interests
  • Attempting to bypass security or technical restrictions
We may reasonably monitor activities. If suspicious activity is detected, we may suspend your instance and investigate without prior notice. Fees continue to accrue during investigation.
05

Pricing & Renewal

USD prepayment, controllable auto-renewal, price changes don't apply to current cycle

Prepayment & Cycles

Fees are priced in USD and paid in advance before service begins. Once a cycle (daily / weekly / monthly / quarterly) is confirmed, it cannot be shortened. Payments are non-refundable.

Auto-Renewal

If you do not disable auto-renewal in the console before the current cycle ends, the system will automatically charge and renew for the same cycle.

Price Changes

We reserve the right to adjust pricing. Prices for already-purchased cycles remain unchanged; new prices take effect from the next cycle.

Taxes

Displayed prices exclude applicable taxes. You are responsible for any tax obligations arising from your use of the service.

06

Operations & Maintenance

We aim to meet monthly network uptime targets; maintenance windows are communicated separately

Availability

Our target monthly network availability is99.0%(excluding scheduled maintenance and force majeure). This is a best-effort target, not a legally binding SLA.

Maintenance

Scheduled maintenance will be announced in advance where possible. Emergency maintenance may occur without notice. Planned downtime is excluded from SLA calculations.

Fair Use

Instances have defined CPU, memory, disk, and bandwidth specs. If your traffic or behavior unreasonably affects the shared network or other tenants, we may limit or suspend resources without prior notice.

07

Backups & Retention

The platform does not automatically back up your data; data is wiped on expiry

  • Hardware failure or accidental damage
  • Deletion after service termination or account suspension
  • User error or software defects
  • Natural disasters or force majeure

After subscription expiry or contract end, instance data will be permanently wiped within72 hours. Please migrate important data in advance.

We recommend syncing critical data to independent object storage, off-site repositories, or other cloud storage for offline or cross-region redundancy.

Content & Brand

UI and code belong to the platform; your uploaded content remains yours

The website, logos, copy, components, software, and API documentation are SlimVps assets protected by intellectual property law. They may not be copied, derived, or redistributed without permission.

You agree that we may use anonymized, aggregated operational metrics for performance optimization and R&D.
