Legal documents

Platform terms of service in detail

The sections below set out in full the rules, rights, and obligations governing use of the zovmac platform. Please read them carefully before using our services.

These platform terms of service (the "Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you (the "User" or "you") and zovmac Inc. (the "Platform", "we", or "us") governing your use of the Platform's Mac cloud compute services and related features (the "Services"). Please read every clause carefully before using the Services, paying particular attention to the provisions on disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By clicking "Agree", "Get started", or a similar confirmation button, or by accessing and using the Services in any way, you are deemed to have fully understood and accepted these Terms in their entirety. If you disagree with any provision, please stop accessing the Platform immediately.

What the Services include

The Platform provides cloud compute rental built on genuine physical Apple Mac hardware. We reserve the right to make reasonable adjustments to service features, content, technical specifications, or delivery processes as our operations require.

Service continuity

We make every effort to keep the Services running reliably, but we cannot promise uninterrupted operation or zero faults. You understand and accept that factors such as network jitter, normal hardware aging, and routine system maintenance may cause brief interruptions. Any compensation is governed by the service level agreement (SLA) agreed between the parties.

Third-party integrations

The Platform may integrate tools or feature modules provided by third parties. We make no warranties regarding such third-party services and accept no joint, incidental, or consequential liability for them.

Accuracy of registration information

You must ensure that all information you submit at registration and thereafter is true, accurate, complete, and kept up to date. You are solely responsible for any losses caused by providing false information or failing to keep your account details current.

Protecting your credentials

You are responsible for safeguarding all credentials that grant access to your account, including but not limited to your username, password, and SSH keys.

Any action taken using your credentials is deemed to be authorized by you, and you bear the resulting legal responsibility. If you notice unusual sign-ins or signs of unauthorized access, contact us immediately and take steps to secure your account.

Payment model

The Platform operates on a prepaid model: payment must be made in full before service is activated. All plan prices are in US dollars (USD) and exclude tax. You are responsible for declaring and paying any taxes arising from your use of the Services under the laws applicable where you are located.

Refund policy

Except where mandatory law provides otherwise, all amounts paid are non-refundable, including account balances and purchased but unused service time. The Platform reserves the right of final interpretation of this policy.

Price changes

The Platform reserves the right to adjust prices from time to time. Any price change will be announced in advance via a Platform notice or an account message. Renewals are billed at the price in effect at the time of renewal.

While using any part of the Services, you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations. The following is strictly prohibited:

  • Violating the laws, regulations, or compliance requirements of any applicable jurisdiction;
  • Infringing others' copyrights, patents, privacy, or other legally protected rights;
  • Sending spam, conducting phishing, or taking part in online fraud of any kind;
  • Performing unauthorized port scanning or penetration testing, or distributing trojans or malicious code;
  • Cryptocurrency mining of any kind (unless you have obtained our prior written authorization);
  • Excessively consuming or deliberately abusing Platform compute resources in a way that interferes with other users.
Once a violation is confirmed, we may suspend or permanently terminate your access without prior notice, delete the associated data without refund, and pursue legal remedies.

Ownership of your data

All data you upload to or store on Platform servers belongs entirely to you. The Platform claims no rights over your data or its contents.

Your backup responsibility

You are solely responsible for backing up and protecting all of your data. Even where the Platform offers backup features, they are optional add-ons and constitute no express or implied guarantee of data integrity or security.

How we handle personal information

You agree that the Platform may collect, store, and process the personal information you provide in a lawful and compliant manner in accordance with ourPrivacy Policy.

The Platform's Services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Platform expressly disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will meet all of your business expectations, or that they will be available without interruption, respond in real time, or be entirely accurate or error-free.

Under no circumstances will the Platform or its affiliates, directors, employees, or partners be liable for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages (including lost profits, data loss, or business interruption), even if the Platform was previously aware that such damages might occur.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you—whether based in contract, tort, or any other legal theory—is capped at the total service fees you actually paid to the Platform in the one calendar month preceding the dispute.

Termination by you

You may stop using all or part of the Services at any time, but fees already paid are non-refundable.

Termination by the Platform

If we have reasonable grounds to believe you have breached any provision of these Terms, we may suspend or permanently revoke your access at any time without liability. After termination, the Platform may immediately erase all of your data and associated records from its servers.

Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are interpreted, given effect, and enforced under the laws in force where zovmac is incorporated. Any dispute arising from these Terms will be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction or an appropriate arbitration body in that jurisdiction.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remaining provisions will remain fully intact.

Entire agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Platform's Services and supersede all prior written and oral communications, promises, and arrangements on the same subject.
