4. Spam and abusive messaging
You may not use the services to send spam, bulk unsolicited communications, abusive automated messages, or misleading notices. Email, webhooks, bot messages, and any other messaging channels must comply with applicable law, provider rules, and anti-spam standards.
5. Intellectual property and rights violations
You may not host, distribute, or link to content that infringes copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy, or other legal rights. You are responsible for ensuring that mods, plugins, assets, code, music, video, and software distributed through your services are properly licensed.
6. Resource abuse
You may not use a service in a way that materially degrades node performance, storage health, network availability, or the experience of other customers beyond what your purchased resources reasonably support. We may throttle, suspend, isolate, or require an upgrade where usage is excessive, abusive, or destabilizing.
7. Game, bot, and automation workloads
Game servers, Discord bots, automation, and related services must comply with the rules of the relevant software, platform, and API provider. You may not use our services to evade bans, abuse APIs, run self-bots where prohibited, manipulate platform trust systems, or violate third-party developer policies.
8. Adult and sensitive content
Any adult or sensitive content must be legal, properly restricted where required by law, and must not involve exploitative, abusive, non-consensual, or prohibited material. We reserve the right to reject or terminate services involving content that creates legal, reputational, payment, or abuse risk, even if the customer believes the content is lawful.
9. Enforcement
We may investigate suspected violations and may remove content, null-route traffic, suspend services, terminate accounts, preserve evidence, contact upstream providers, or cooperate with law enforcement or affected third parties. We are not required to provide advance notice before taking protective action.
10. Reporting abuse
To report abuse, legal complaints, security incidents, or policy concerns, contact support@xgshosting.com with relevant logs, timestamps, IP addresses, and supporting details where available.
11. Final note
This policy supplements the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Where there is a conflict, we may interpret and enforce all policies in the manner most protective of our systems, customers, providers, and legal obligations.
