Terms of Service

1. Agreement and Eligibility

These Terms form a binding agreement between you (or the entity you represent) and the operators of Minlat Guard (“we”, “us”, “our”) governing the Minlat Guard service, including our edge anti‑DDoS protection, edge DNS, dashboard, and any APIs (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account, paying an invoice, configuring a domain, or routing traffic through us, you accept these Terms.

By accepting, you represent and warrant that:

• You have full legal capacity to enter into these Terms in your jurisdiction;
• You have not previously been terminated or suspended from the Service for a violation of Section 6;
• Your use of the Service complies with all laws and regulations that apply to you and to the traffic you route through us.

2. The Service Is a Pass‑Through Network

Minlat Guard operates as a pass‑through edge network: we receive requests on your behalf, filter unwanted traffic, and forward legitimate requests to the origin server you designate. We are not a hosting provider.We do not store the content of your website, application, game, or service, and we have no technical ability to remove that content from your origin or from third‑party hosts. Disputes about hosted content must be directed to the operator of the origin server or to that operator's hosting provider.

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee that every attack vector will be absorbed, that uptime will be uninterrupted, that any specific feature will continue to exist, or that the Service will meet your particular requirements.

3. License for Feedback

If you submit suggestions, feature requests, bug reports, ideas, or other feedback about the Service (“Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, and incorporate that Feedback into the Service or any other product, with no obligation of compensation, attribution, or confidentiality. You represent that any Feedback you provide does not infringe or misappropriate the rights of any third party.

4. No Refunds

All payments are final and non‑refundable. We accept only cryptocurrency; once a payment is confirmed on the relevant network, neither we nor the network can reverse it. The no‑refund policy applies — without exception — to: partial usage, accidental purchase, change of mind, plan downgrade, account closure or deletion, inability to use the Service due to your own configuration or network, suspension or termination under Section 10, and discontinuation of any feature. Coupons, credits, and promotional discounts have no cash value and are not redeemable.

5. Service Credits for Outages Caused by Us

If a sustained outage is caused by us— meaning a failure of our edge nodes, our control plane, or our authoritative DNS that prevents your traffic from reaching an otherwise‑reachable origin — we will extend the affected subscription by the number of full days lost, rounded up. Time is added to the end of your current billing period at no charge. Service credits are your sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability of the Service.

The following are noteligible for credit: outages at your origin, your registrar, your network provider, or any third‑party service; attacks that exceed the published capacity of your plan; misconfiguration on your side (including incorrect DNS records, origin firewall rules, or upstream routing); actions taken by us under Sections 6 or 10; force majeure events; and scheduled maintenance announced in advance.

6. Acceptable Use

We take a deliberately permissive stance. You may use the Service to protect a wide range of legal and gray‑area projects, including but not limited to: gaming servers, forums, marketplaces, gambling sites, adult content, file hosts, anonymity services, security research platforms, cryptocurrency projects, controversial speech, and content that may be restricted in some jurisdictions.

The following content and activities are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate, permanent termination without refund or notice:

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any sexual content involving minors, in any form.
• Content that promotes, organizes, finances, or directly facilitates terrorism or mass‑casualty violence.

That is the entire prohibited list. We do not police lawful expression, business models, or political opinions you host behind the Service. We will, however, cooperate with valid legal process directed to us by a competent authority and may take action where required by law.

7. Abuse Reports

Because we operate a pass‑through network and do not host customer content, abuse complaints (including copyright, trademark, defamation, and privacy complaints) should be directed to the operator of the origin server or to that operator's hosting provider. We will not act on third‑party content complaints that fall outside Section 6.

For abuse falling within Section 6, send a detailed report to our Telegram. Reports must include the URL or hostname, a description of the violation, and your contact information. You agree that we may, in our discretion, share the substance of your report (including your identity) with the affected user, that user's upstream providers, and any competent authority.

8. Prohibited Conduct Toward the Service

You may not, and will not attempt to: (a) disrupt, overload, or impair our network, control plane, dashboard, or APIs beyond the limits of your plan; (b) probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network of ours without our prior written consent; (c) gain unauthorized access to any account, control plane, or infrastructure, or use the Service to do the same against a third party that has not authorized you; (d) submit false abuse reports; (e) resell, sublicense, or expose the Service to third parties without our written agreement; (f) scrape, crawl, or harvest our dashboard, marketing site, or APIs except through interfaces we have made expressly public for that purpose; (g) use the Service or any output of the Service to train, fine‑tune, or otherwise contribute to a machine‑learning or artificial‑intelligence system without our written permission; or (h) attempt to circumvent any usage limit, rate limit, or technical restriction.

9. Account Security

You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials, recovery email (if provided), 2FA codes, and any API tokens issued to your account. All activity occurring under your account is your responsibility. We are not liable for losses resulting from compromised account access caused by your own act or omission. You must notify us promptly of any suspected unauthorized use.

10. Suspension and Termination

We may, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, suspend or terminate your account, your access to any feature, or your routing of traffic through us for: a violation or suspected violation of these Terms; activity that threatens the security, performance, or reputation of our network; non‑payment; or where required by law. We may discontinue the Service or any feature in whole or in part at any time. We have no liability to you or any third party for any suspension, termination, or discontinuation, and no refund is owed in any such case.

You may stop using the Service and cancel any recurring subscription at any time. Any provision of these Terms that by its nature should survive termination — including Sections 3, 4, 8, 11 through 16, and this sentence — will survive.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless (along with our affiliates, contractors, employees, and agents) from and against any and all claims, demands, investigations, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your access to or use of the Service; (ii) the content, conduct, products, or services hosted on your origin or otherwise routed through us; (iii) your violation of these Terms or any law; (iv) your violation of any third ‑party right, including intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or property rights; or (v) any dispute between you and a third party. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with us in such defense.

12. Disclaimers — No Warranties

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non‑infringement, accuracy, uninterrupted operation, error‑free operation, and any warranty arising out of any course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that the Service will mitigate any particular attack, that traffic will always reach your origin, that data in transit will not be intercepted by third parties outside our control, or that defects will be corrected. Your use of the Service is at your own risk.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we, our affiliates, or any of our officers, directors, employees, contractors, or agents be liable to you or to any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost goodwill, business interruption, or substitute service costs, arising out of or relating to the Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such damage.

Our aggregate liability for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us during the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty US dollars (USD $50). The existence of multiple claims will not enlarge this limit.

14. Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of nature, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, internet or upstream‑provider failures, denial‑of ‑service attacks exceeding plan capacity, power outages, or pandemics. Our obligations are suspended for the duration of any such event.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the Service, are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which we are established, without regard to conflict‑of‑law principles. You irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of that jurisdiction for the resolution of any dispute that is not first resolved informally.

Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us via the channel listed in Section 18 and to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for a period of at least thirty (30) days. Claims must be brought in your individual capacity and not as part of any class, collective, or representative action.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The current version is always posted at this URL, dated by the “Effective” line at the top. Material changes will be announced in‑product or by email where reasonably practicable. Your continued use of the Service after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not accept the revised Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to stop using the Service.

17. General

These Terms, together with any plan‑level limits, in‑product disclaimers, and documentation presented to you, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreement. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them without restriction. Section headings are for convenience only. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remainder will continue in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
