This consent is given by ticking a separate checkbox in the order process.

§ 4. Scope of Services
-
Under the Hosting Service, the Service Provider provides the Client with server resources in accordance with the parameters of the selected Plan, including in particular: a) NVMe disk space, b) computing power (vCPU) and RAM, c) dedicated PHP workers, d) data transfer, e) unlimited websites and MySQL/MariaDB databases, f) SSL certificates (Let's Encrypt), g) LiteSpeed Enterprise server with LSCache module, h) Redis object cache, i) support for 16 PHP versions, individually configurable per site, j) application manager (Installatron) with auto-installation of WordPress and WooCommerce, k) Git hosting with auto-deploy webhook, l) backups in accordance with § 5.
-
Plan parameters (CPU, RAM, IO, IOPS, number of processes) constitute maximum values, enforced by the CloudLinux LVE resource isolation system. The Service Provider does not guarantee constant availability of resources at their maximum level — resources are shared within the server.
-
Additional features available in selected Plans: a) Scale Store and Dedicated Commerce: SSH access in an isolated environment (CageFS jail), b) Dedicated Commerce: dedicated technical account manager, migration handled by the Service Provider, c) All Plans: WP-CLI, DirectAdmin API (Login Keys), ability to connect an AI agent via MCP server (@aderlo/mcp).
-
Auto-installation of applications. The Client may order a Service with pre-installed WordPress or WordPress with WooCommerce (with pre-configured LiteSpeed Cache). Installation creates random application administrator credentials, which are communicated to the Client once. The Client is responsible for storing and changing application passwords. Automatically installed software is third-party software (GPL and other licences), and the Service Provider is not its manufacturer or distributor.
-
Node.js applications. The Client may run Node.js applications (versions 18–22), created in the administration panel, served by LiteSpeed, within the resource limits of their Plan.
-
The Service Provider reserves the right to change the technical parameters of the Service (including server software versions), provided that the change does not materially degrade the quality of the Service. The Client will be notified of material changes at least 14 days in advance.
§ 5. Backups
-
The Service Provider performs automatic backups of entire hosting accounts (JetBackup) with the following retention, depending on the Plan:
Plan Backup retention Starter Store 7 days Growth Store 14 days Scale Store 30 days Dedicated Commerce 30 days -
Backups are performed once daily (during night hours) and stored on a separate backup server in a data centre within the European Union.
-
The Client may create self-service application backups via the administration panel (Installatron), with a limit of 5 backups per installation. Automatic backups created during application updates expire after approximately 12 days.
-
Backups are a best-effort measure and do not constitute a guarantee of full data recovery. The Service Provider is not liable for loss or corruption of data stored in backups.
-
The Client is responsible for creating and storing their own backups of critical data. The Service Provider recommends regular download of backups to the Client's local device.
-
Data restoration from a backup at the Client's request is performed free of charge via the self-service panel. Restoration requiring intervention by the Service Provider's technical team may be subject to an additional fee, of which the Client will be informed in advance.
§ 6. Security Updates
-
The Service Provider reserves the right to perform a forced security update of software installed on the Client's DA Account (including WordPress, WooCommerce, plugins and themes managed by Installatron), if: a) the software publisher has released a patch/minor update addressing a security vulnerability, and b) the Client has not performed the update independently within 30 days of the patch publication date.
-
Before each forced update, the Service Provider automatically creates a backup of the application being updated. In case of update failure, the application is automatically restored from the backup (rollback).
-
Forced security updates are limited to patch/minor/security releases only and do not include upgrades to new major versions.
-
The Service Provider is not liable for incompatibility of third-party plugins, themes or extensions with the updated software version. In case of incompatibility, the Client may use the pre-update backup to restore the previous state.
-
The Client may configure their own auto-update settings in the Installatron administration panel. Client settings selecting more frequent updates take precedence — forced updates apply only to overdue installations.
§ 7. Domains
-
Through the Platform, the Client may order domain name registration or transfer. Domain registration services are provided by MSERWIS Sp. z o.o. (domeny.tv) as an accredited registrar. The registrar's separate terms of service apply to domain services.
-
Each Hosting Service automatically receives a Technical Subdomain in the
*.shops.aderlo.clouddomain. The Technical Subdomain is the property of the Service Provider and is not transferable to the Client or third parties. -
The Client may connect their own domain to the Hosting Service by pointing DNS records to the Service Provider's server.
§ 8. E-mail
-
As part of the Hosting Service, the Client may create and manage e-mail mailboxes within connected domains.
-
The Service Provider uses BlockCracking and other anti-abuse mechanisms that may limit the number of messages sent from the Client's account within a given time period.
-
The Service Provider does not guarantee e-mail deliverability. Deliverability depends on factors beyond the Service Provider's control, including recipients' anti-spam policies, IP reputation and DNS configuration.
-
The Client undertakes to use the e-mail service in compliance with applicable law, in particular regulations regarding unsolicited commercial communications. The Client bears sole responsibility for obtaining necessary consents from marketing communication recipients.
§ 9. API Keys and Remote Access
-
The Client may create API keys (DirectAdmin Login Keys) with limited scope, enabling automation of hosting account management.
-
The Client may use the Service Provider's MCP server (Model Context Protocol), enabling an AI agent (e.g. Claude, Cursor) to manage the hosting account via scoped API keys.
-
All operations performed via the Client's API key or MCP token are treated as operations performed by the Client. The Client bears full responsibility for secure storage, scope limitation, and prompt revocation of compromised keys.
-
The Service Provider reserves the right to apply rate limiting and to deactivate an API key in case of abuse or threat to server stability.
-
SSH access is available in Scale Store and Dedicated Commerce Plans. SSH sessions run in an isolated CageFS jail environment subject to Plan resource limits.
§ 10. Restrictions and Prohibited Uses
-
The Client undertakes to use the Hosting Service only in a manner consistent with the law, these Terms and good practices.
-
The following are expressly prohibited: a) cryptocurrency mining or proof-of-work computations, b) mass sending of unsolicited correspondence (spam), c) network/port scanning or vulnerability scanning of third-party systems, d) operating proxy servers, VPNs or TOR exit nodes, e) public audio/video streaming consuming excessive server resources, f) storing or distributing illegal content, including copyright-infringing material, child sexual abuse material, hate speech, g) phishing, malware distribution, operating botnets, h) any activity threatening the stability of the shared server or the security of other Clients' data.
-
The Service Provider uses Imunify360 protection, which may automatically quarantine malicious files, block suspicious HTTP requests, and restrict access from malicious IP addresses. The Client accepts that these automated protective measures may affect the operation of their websites if they contain code detected as potentially dangerous.
-
Abuse reports should be directed to: abuse@aderlo.com.
