Support

All customers, regardless of the plan purchased will be offered an equal level of premium support.

All support requests shall be submitted through the support feature of UltraServers unified dashboard. Other methods of contact may incur delay and cannot be guaranteed to reach UltraServers and therefore an official and timely response may not be possible.

Customers are welcome to ask for help via our official Discord Server and #community-support channel, but this route does not offer any guarantee of a response from an official support representative.

Support response times may occasionally increase:

  1. if the demand spikes beyond levels that could be reasonably predicted.
  2. during global and regional holidays and events

Databases

The number of databases a customer may install will depend on the purchased plan. While UltraServers offer the instant creation of MySQL databases, we shall not be held liable for any loss of data or any data corruption. The customer should ensure sufficient data backups are made on a regular basis.

All databases should be used for the enhancement or enablement of game features. Databases are not intended for personal use beyond the aforementioned purpose.

Bandwidth Usage

UltraServers will not throttle or limit bandwidth usage for any service plan. However, if UltraServers finds that the network is being adversely affected by unusual customer activity, further investigations will be undertaken and it may become necessary to take corrective action, including but not limited to the suspension of a customer's service(s).

If it can be reasonably determined that excessive bandwidth usage is due to the intentional or negligent actions of a customer, the customer may have their account terminated at the sole discretion of UltraServers.

Account and Service Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure the information kept on their service is backed up and secure at all times. Any backup slots offered as part of our service are for the convenience of our customers, enabling different games and configurations to be saved for later use. We strongly suggest backing-up important information to a secure external cloud location; our focus is to provide a great gaming platform and not to be a supplier of multi-redundant cold storage backups. Drive failure can happen and we are unable to guarantee the information will be recovered. UltraServers.com shall never be held liable for failure to recover data in the event of any sort of failure, and shall never be held accountable financially or otherwise for loss of data.

We recommend using unique, secure passwords for the email account that you use to register with UltraServers.For SFTP access, the customer must select a unique secure password. This password will not be visible once set. If forgotten, the customer will have to reset the SFTP password from the dashboard.

Access to our services require the customer to successfully authenticate themselves. The authentication methods will be extended to include third party providers in the future. Initially, authentication will be provided via an email magic link.

We recommend using unique, secure passwords for the email account that you use to register with UltraServers.

For SFTP access, the customer must select a unique secure password. This password will not be visible once set. If forgotten, the customer will have to reset the SFTP password from the dashboard.

Any uploaded applications and/or content stored on the service must adhere to UltraServers TOS. In the event that the customer believes content contravening the TOS was unloaded via nefarious means, the customer must prove to UltraServers satisfaction that they were not responsible for the upload. Responsibility includes the selection of weak passwords, insecure storage of passwords or the sharing of passwords with anyone other than the customer.

Sharing and Reselling

Allowing public access to your portal is forbidden. Any customer found enabling public access to any portal service(s) will be asked to stop, failure to comply will result in account termination.

Hosting games for public usage is allowed as long as no access is provided to the portal or any other non-game feature

Reselling of any aspect of our services is strictly forbidden. Any customer found to be accepting money or other payments in exchange for any sort of access to our services will be immediately terminated and ineligible for a refund.

Fair Usage

UltraServers run on shared resources, as a result, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their activities do not negatively impact other customer's experiences. The Customer must ensure that their resource consumption is within acceptable limits. UltraServers may stop, without warning, any applications that are negatively affecting other customers and have the right to regain control of the abused resource from users without prior notice. In extreme scenarios, the customer's service may be suspended or terminated to ensure that customers adhering to the rules have a positive gaming experience.

UltraServers will not be liable or responsible for any loss incurred by customers caused by breaking this agreement; there will not be any refund of customer paid fees.

The customer agrees not to interfere with other customers in an unfair or malicious manner such that other customers are not able to receive the expected level of services.

Payments

All fees are payable in advance. UltraServers billing procedure is structured to ensure that customers have adequate time to pay invoices, which are sent 10 days prior to the payment due date. This will be followed with a reminder to pay 3 days before payment falls due.

A service with an unpaid invoice after 00:00 (Central European Time) on the due date will be suspended. Further reminders will be sent out on the 1st, 2nd and 5th day after service suspension.

If a service remains unpaid and in the suspended state for 7 day will be terminated and all data will be deleted permanently after midnight of the 7th day if the invoice remains unpaid. Any late payments after the 7th day will result in a new fresh service being created, which is not eligible for our refund policy.

Payments will only be deemed as paid when we have confirmation from the billing gateway that the payment was successful and the funds are in our account. Using PayPal e-checks or other mechanisms that are not instant may result in payment delay and subsequently service suspension.

Payments are due before 00:00 Central European Time on the last day of the current billing cycle.

Customers are responsible for ensuring their billing information is accurate and up to date. Failure to update billing information, such as credit cards past the expiration date may result in your service being suspended until payment is made.

Payments and overpayments made in error will be resolved promptly if they are reported in a timely manner. Payments and overpayments made more than 90 days in the past will be deemed accurate and non-refundable.

Fee Increases

If it becomes necessary to increase service fees, we will inform our customers at least 30 days before the new fees become active. Fee changes will never be made mid-billing term; any new fees will be due at the start of the next agreed billing period. At our sole discretion, we may freeze the service fee for existing customers so that they are immune from any fee increase.

Promotions

Promotions may be offered from time-to-time at the sole discretion of UltraServers. We do not guarantee that promotions will be made available at any specific date or time. Promotions may be offered for all services, a specific service or ancillary service(s). The promotion may be applied to services for one month, three months, or in perpetuity. Any service suspended for non-payment may nullify your right to any promotion active on your account; you will revert to the current publicized, non-promotional prices.
