2.0 Abuse Definitions

2.1

Resource Abuse Consists of any activity, intentional or otherwise, that consumes sufficient system hardware resources (such as CPU, I/O operations, network capacity, or database memory) to negatively affect other clients on the same physical host node or node cluster.

2.2

Unsolicited Communication Any email, SMS, or network-based communication sent in bulk or individually without the explicit, verifiable consent of the recipient. Knowingly permitting or initiating Unsolicited Communications is grounds for immediate termination and a permanent ban from any future service.

2.3

Malicious Content Any script, code, binary file, malware, or vulnerability exploits designed to perform harmful actions, either to affected visitors or as bulk actions. Includes hosting content in violation of German, United States, and Luxembourg regulations. Knowingly permitting or hosting Malicious Content is grounds for immediate termination and a permanent ban from any future service.

3.0 Actions & Remedies

3.1

Intentional / Malicious Usage Defined as any severe, destructive, or illegal action knowingly performed by the user (or persons authorized by the user to access the service) that matches the Abuse Definitions. This results in the immediate termination of all services on the user's account without compensation, except where court orders require holding evidence for law enforcement. The user will be permanently banned from holding any further services with HostBrr.

3.2

First / Unintentional Offense If a system compromise, exploit, or resource breach occurs unintentionally, the offending service will be suspended and brought offline. A high-priority support ticket will be opened detailing the offense and the necessary steps to resolve the issue. Once the client acknowledges and replies explaining how the issue will be corrected, the service will be reactivated and the client will have twenty-four (24) hours to prevent any further abuse.

5.0 Fair Usage Policy

5.1

Shared physical node resources such as CPU cycles, network interface ports, and disk I/O controllers are shared dynamically among clients on any given physical server.

5.2

If your virtual service is persistently saturating these resources for heavy, non-optimized workloads over a prolonged period and disrupting the experience of other clients on the same host node, we will contact you to request a reduction in your usage.

5.3

In severe or system-critical cases, we reserve the right to reboot, temporarily shut down, or suspend your VPS container to restore node stability for neighbor clients.

5.4

We will only intervene or act if the service quality or customer experience of other clients on the physical server is actively degraded by your high resource consumption.

5.5

If a client exceeds their allocated premium bandwidth limit on a VPS, we will automatically limit the network interface throughput speed to 10 Mbit/s to prevent sudden overage costs or host service interruption.
