Terms of service

If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. Separate written agreements (e.g. enterprise or reseller deals) prevail over these Terms if they conflict.

• You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live and meet any age notices we publish.
• One person or entity per account unless we approve otherwise. Keep login credentials confidential.
• Account owners may invite members with view or admin access; you are responsible for their actions on your servers.
• Notify us promptly at support@nodedistrominecrafthosting.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

We provide tools to create and manage Java/Bedrock-capable Minecraft servers, including:

• Credit-based RAM tiers, optional free-tier limits, and add-ons (e.g. always-on, auto-backup, Geyser);
• Panel backups, ZIP import/export, file manager, console, and DNS/connect addresses we assign or you configure;
• Billing via card checkout, gift cards or coupons where offered, and referral rewards per program rules;
• Status page and support channels.

Features, limits, and pricing shown in the UI may change. We may modify or discontinue features with reasonable notice when practical. Beta or experimental features are provided as-is.

Not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft. You must comply with the Minecraft EULA, commercial usage rules, and applicable mod/plugin licenses. You are responsible for obtaining rights to mods, maps, and assets you install (including via Modrinth or uploads).

We supply server software (e.g. Paper) and infrastructure; we do not guarantee compatibility with every mod, version, or client.

You may not use the Services to:

• Break law or others’ rights (including copyright, harassment, or illegal content);
• Attack networks, run open proxies for abuse, mine cryptocurrency on our hosts without written permission, or send spam;
• Attempt to bypass billing, security, rate limits, or other customers’ isolation;
• Overload infrastructure in bad faith (we may throttle or suspend);
• Resell panel access in violation of your plan or a written agreement with us.

We may investigate abuse, remove content, suspend servers, or terminate accounts to protect the platform and other users. We may cooperate with law enforcement when required.

You retain ownership of worlds, configs, and materials you upload or import. You grant us a limited license to host, copy, back up, transmit, and display that content solely to provide the Services. You represent you have all rights needed for us to do so.

You are responsible for your own backups for critical worlds. Panel backups and migration ZIPs are convenience features, not a guarantee of recovery.

• Paid RAM, backups, Geyser options, and other features consume credits or card charges as shown at purchase. Prices and credit rates may change with notice.
• Starter limits (e.g. server count and RAM) apply as described in the product; exceeding them requires paid credits.
• Fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law or approved via our refund process. Chargebacks without contacting us first may lead to account suspension.
• Unused credits may expire or be forfeited on account closure per product rules we publish.
• You are responsible for taxes, duties, and bank fees outside our stated prices.
• Non-payment or charge failure may suspend or delete servers after notice where practical.

• Manual and scheduled backups bill credits as shown in the panel (admins may be exempt). You choose retention where offered.
• Import replaces server files on disk; review ZIP contents before uploading. Maximum upload size limits apply.
• If we remove a server for policy or operational reasons, we may provide a backup export and credit adjustments per internal policy—not guaranteed in all cases.
• Backup download links sent by email are private; do not share them.

We aim for reliable hosting but do not promise uninterrupted service. Maintenance, upstream outages, DDoS, and your own misconfiguration can cause downtime. Check our status page for incidents. Support is offered on a reasonable-efforts basis via tickets and published channels—not guaranteed 24/7 unless a separate SLA says otherwise.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT ERROR-FREE OPERATION, DATA INTEGRITY, OR THAT HOSTING WILL MEET EVERY GAMEPLAY OR MOD REQUIREMENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NODE MINECRAFT HOSTING AND ITS SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, WORLDS, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS IN ANY TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES IN THAT PERIOD OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THESE LIMITS; IN THOSE CASES OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

You will defend and indemnify Node and its affiliates, officers, and contractors against third-party claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your players’ conduct, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of law or third-party rights.

You may stop using the Services anytime. We may suspend or terminate access for breach, risk, non-payment, or legal requirements. On termination, access ends and data may be deleted per our retention practices. Sections that should survive (including 6, 10–12, and 14) remain in effect.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer protections in your country require otherwise.

Disputes should first be raised via Support. If unresolved, you agree that courts in the United States with jurisdiction over Node may hear the dispute, unless your local law requires a different forum.

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version and update the date above. Material changes may be notified by email or in-dashboard notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance where allowed by law.
