You agree to be bound by these Terms of Service on behalf of such an organization. Agreeing to use the Services by clicking "Sign up" constitutes your acceptance and Agreement to be bound by these Terms of Service, and all other operating rules, policies, and procedures that may be published from time to time on the Website by us, each of which is incorporated by reference and each of which may be modified from time to time without notice to you. You acknowledge receipt of our Privacy Policy.

These Terms of Service provide that all disputes between you and IROKO Networks will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THIS CONTRACT (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT A JUDGE OR JURY and your claims cannot be brought as a class action.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS OF USE SHALL AFFECT ANY NON-WAIVABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS THAT APPLY TO YOU. If any provision or provisions of these Terms of Use shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
IROKO Networks reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to amend or to modify these Terms of Service without prior notice to you, provided that if any such alterations constitute a material change to these Terms of Service, IROKO Networks will notify you by posting an announcement on the Website. Amendments and modifications shall take effect immediately when posted on the Website.

For this reason, we encourage you to review the Terms of Service whenever you use the Services. If you do not agree to any change to these Terms of Services, then you must immediately stop using the Services.
Beside the official version of these Terms of Service, we have put a simplified commentary entitled "In other words" to assist you in your comprehension of these Terms. However, it is the "Terms of Service" which govern your access and use of the Services not the commentary set out in "In other words" or included in other similar explanations which are provided for informational purposes only and do NOT include all of the information in the Terms of Service. You should always read the full text of the Terms of Service and not just the "In other words" commentary or other explanations.
SOME JURISDICTIONS HAVE CONSUMER PROTECTION AND OTHER LEGISLATION WHICH MAY APPLY TO THE SERVICES AND WHICH DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN PROVISIONS SUCH AS LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, AMONG OTHERS. TO THE EXTENT THAT A LIMITATION, EXCLUSION, RESTRICTION OR OTHER PROVISION SET OUT BELOW IS SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH LIMITATION, EXCLUSION, RESTRICTION OR PROVISION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
In other words, welcome to our Terms of Service agreement! This document exists to protect both you and us. By using our services, you agree to our Terms of Service agreement. If you're like us, you don't always have time to read through the entire document. That's why we've summarized the key points for you, and will update you when any major changes are made.
Eligibility & Registration1.1 The Services are not targeted towards, nor intended for use by, anyone under the age of 13. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are 13 years of age or older. If you are under the age of 13, you may not, under any circumstances or for any reason, use the Services. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to offer the Services to any person or entity and change its eligibility criteria at any time. You are solely responsible for ensuring that these Terms of Service are in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to you and the right to access the Services is revoked where these Terms of Service or use of the Services is prohibited or to the extent offering, sale or provision of the Services conflicts with any applicable law, rule or regulation. Further, the Services are offered only for your use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party.
1.2 To sign up for the Services, you must register for an account on the Services (an "Account"). You must provide accurate and complete information and keep your Account information updated.

You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your Account, regardless of whether the activities are undertaken by you, your employees or a third party (including your contractors or agents), and for keeping your Account password secure. You may never use another person's user account or registration information for the Services without permission. You must notify us immediately of any change in your eligibility to use the Services (including any changes to or revocation of any licenses from state, provincial, territorial or other authorities), breach of security or unauthorized use of your Account.

You agree to notify IROKO Networks promptly of any unauthorized use of your account and of any loss, theft or disclosure of your password.

In other words, you must be at least 13 years old to use our service (sorry, young devs!). By registering with your information, you are guaranteeing the services offered are solely for your use and not a third party – and that all of the information is accurate. Make sure to keep all of your account information updated!

In other words, we can't be held responsible for the content you create or content you access elsewhere while using IROKO Networks. Additionally, feel free to share and adapt content we have that's marked with the Creative Commons icon, as long as you let others share it the same way. If you write a tutorial for DO, you agree to this license too. Here's a super easy read as to what a Creative Commons license is all about: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/
3.2 You agree that you will not transmit, distribute, post, store, link, or otherwise traffic in Content, information, software, or materials on or through the Service that (i) is unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another's privacy, tortious, offensive, profane, contains or depicts pornography that is unlawful, or is otherwise inappropriate as determined by us in our sole discretion, (ii) you know is false, misleading, untruthful or inaccurate, (iii) constitutes unauthorized or unsolicited advertising, (iv) impersonates any person or entity, including any of our employees or representatives, or (v) includes anyone's identification documents or sensitive financial information.

3.6 Subscribers are restricted from registering multiple Accounts with the same billing details without first notifying IROKO Networks of that intent. Otherwise, IROKO Networks shall have the right to automatically flag such Accounts as fraudulent or abusive, and IROKO Networks may, without notification to the Subscriber of such Account, suspend the service of such Account or any other Account used by such Subscriber. The use of referral codes by multiple Accounts having the same billing profile is not allowed. IROKO Networks also reserves the right to terminate a Subscriber's Account if it is targeted by malicious activity from other parties.
3.7 As a reward for being early adopters of the Services, Subscribers with grandfathered Accounts shall receive free bandwidth for the duration that such Account is operative and conducts its operations in compliance with these Terms of Service ("Grandfathered Accounts"). The free bandwidth may only be used directly by the Subscriber of such Grandfathered Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscribers of Grandfathered Accounts must NOT: (i) run Torrents for download or Seed Servers, TOR, or services that include content of an adult or pornographic nature; (ii) resell services through their Account to provide free bandwidth to other individuals; or (iii) transfer the Account ownership to another individual or entity, or otherwise circumvent the intended fair usage of free bandwidth by distributing it freely to others. Failure of Subscribers of Grandfathered Accounts to follow these terms will result in the revocation of their Accounts' grandfathered status.
3.8 You may not use the Services to obtain information about or make decisions about anyone but yourself. You are solely responsible for any reliance by you on the Services or other use you make of the Services. Comments, suggestions or materials sent or transmitted to IROKO Networks (collectively "Feedback"), shall be deemed to be non-confidential. Subject to the conditions described in IROKO Networks's Privacy Policy, IROKO Networks shall have no obligation of any kind with respect to such Feedback and shall be free to use and distribute the Feedback to others without limitation, including, but not limited to developing and marketing products incorporating such Feedback. IROKO Networks reserves the right to publish or use any responses, questions or comments emailed to IROKO Networks for promotional or other purposes without any further permission, notice or payment of any kind to the sender. All such submissions will be the property of IROKO Networks.
3.9 The enumeration of violations in this Section 3 of these Terms of Service is not meant to be exclusive, and IROKO Networks provides notice hereby that it has and will exercise its authority to take whatever action is necessary to protect the Services, Subscribers, and third parties from acts that would be inimical to the purposes of this Section 3 of these Terms of Service.
Lawful Use of the Network
3.10 In using the Services, Subscribers must comply with, and refrain from violations of, any right of any other person, entity, law, or contractual duty, including without limitation the laws of the Panama, and including without limitation those laws forbidding: (a) distribution of child pornography, (b) forgery, identity theft, misdirection or interference with electronic communications, (c) invasion of privacy, (d) unlawful sending of commercial electronic messages or other marketing or electronic communications, (e) collection of excessive user data from children, or other improper data collection activities, (f) securities violations, wire fraud, money laundering, or terrorist activities, or (f) false advertising, propagating or profiting from frauds and unfair schemes. Subscribers will also comply with the affirmative requirements of law governing use of the Services, including but not limited to: (i) disclosure requirements, including those regarding notification of security breaches, (ii) records maintenance for regulated industries, and (iii) financial institution safeguards.
The Services are subject to the trade and economic sanctions maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"). By accessing the Services, you agree to comply with these laws and regulations. Specifically, you represent and warrant that you are not (a) located in any country that is subject to OFAC's trade and economic sanctions, currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea region of the Ukraine, or (b) an individual or entity included on any U.S. lists of prohibited parties including: the Treasury Department's List of Specially Designated Nationals List ("SDN List") and Sectoral Sanctions List ("SSI List"). Additionally, you agree not to – directly or indirectly – sell, export, reexport, transfer, divert, or otherwise dispose of any service received from IROKO Networks in contradiction with these laws and regulations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the suspension or termination of your Account.
Agreed Use of Allotted Network Resources
3.11 Subscribers shall not use any method to circumvent the provisions of these Terms of Service, or to obtain Services in excess of those for which they contract with IROKO Networks. Subscribers shall use only those IP addresses that are assigned to them by IROKO Networks, and shall not use any IP addresses outside of their assigned range. Subscribers shall not use any mechanism to exceed the amount of resources assigned to them through the Services, or to conceal such activities.
Injurious Code
3.12 Subscribers may not use the Services to distribute, receive communications or data gleaned from, or execute any action directed by any type of injurious code, including but not limited to: (i) trojans, (ii) key loggers, (iii) viruses, (iv) malware, (v) botnets, (vi) denial of service attacks, (vii) flood or mail bombs, (viii) logic bombs, or (ix) other actions which IROKO Networks reserves the sole right to determine to be malicious in intent.
Email Violations
3.13 Subscribers shall not send bulk email utilizing their resources on the Services unless they maintain a double-authorized list of subscribed members including IP addresses and relevant contact information, along with following guidelines for including removal links with all sent emails according to the such legislation. Subscribers shall comply with all laws regarding the sending of commercial electronic messages or other marketing or electronic communications. Subscribers are forbidden from taking any action that would result in their IP addresses, or any IP address associated with IROKO Networks or other Subscribers, being placed on the Spamhaus.org blacklist. IROKO Networks reserves the sole and absolute right to determine whether an email violation has occurred.
Invasion of Privacy, Defamation, or Harassment
3.14 Subscribers may not use the Services in a manner that would violate the lawful privacy rights of any person, or to publish or republish defamatory or libelous statements, or to harass or embarrass, which shall be determined in IROKO Networks's sole and absolute discretion.
Violation of Copyright, Trademark, Patent or Trade Secret
3.15 Subscribers may not use the Services in violation of the copyrights, trademarks, patents or trade secrets of third parties, nor shall they utilize the Services to publish such materials in a manner that would expose them to public view in violation of the law. The provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA") (as required under 17 U.S.C. §512) and all other applicable international trademark, copyright, patent or other intellectual property laws will apply to issues presented by allegations of copyright violations by third parties. IROKO Networks will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat violators. If a third party believes that a Subscriber of IROKO Networks is violating its intellectual property rights, it should notify us by email at [email protected]. A notification should include information reasonably sufficient to permit IROKO Networks to locate the allegedly infringing material, such as the IP address or URL of the specific online location where the alleged infringement is occurring.
Export
3.16 Subscriber shall comply with all applicable export and import control laws and regulations in its use of the Services, and, in particular, Subscriber shall not utilize the Services to export or re-export data or software without all required Panama and foreign government licenses. Subscriber assumes full legal responsibility for any access and use of the Services from outside the Panama, with full understanding that the same may constitute export of technology and technical data that may implicate export regulations and/or require export license. Should such a license be required, it shall be Subscriber's responsibility to obtain the same, at Subscriber's sole cost and expense, and in the event of any breach of this duty resulting in legal claims against IROKO Networks, Subscriber shall defend, indemnify and hold IROKO Networks harmless from all claims and damages arising therefrom.
Acts of Sub-Users
3.17 Subscribers are responsible for the acts of others utilizing their access to the Services, and will be held responsible for violations of the Services by their sub-users or persons who gain access to the Services using the Subscriber's access codes. Any activity that a Subscriber is prohibited from performing by these Terms of Services is equally prohibited to anyone using the access to the Services of the Subscriber.
Access Code Protection
3.18 Subscribers shall utilize proper security protocols, such as setting strong passwords and access control mechanisms, safeguarding access to all logins and passwords, and verifying the trustworthiness of persons who are entrusted with account access information.
Notification Regarding these Terms of Service
3.19 Subscribers shall notify all persons who receive access to the Services of the provisions of these Terms of Service, and shall inform them that the terms of these Terms of Service are binding upon them.
Remedial Action
3.20 Subscribers shall notify IROKO Networks if and when they learn of any security breaches regarding the Services, and shall aid in any investigation or legal action that is taken by authorities and/or IROKO Networks to cure the security breach.
In other words, be mindful about how you use our services. If you are breaking laws, being obscene, or abusing our infrastructure, we have the right to stop you from doing these things. You must also notify IROKO Networks before registering multiple accounts with the same billing address to prevent being flagged for abuse. You're also responsible for the acts of others utilizing your access to our services, as we have no way of distinguishing your actions from the actions of your sub-users. Be careful who you give your information to—it's to protect both us and you!
In other words, it's up to you to be careful when accessing third-party resources on the Internet—they're outside of our control and we cannot be blamed for any negative outcomes. If you have a problem with them, please let those services know directly!
5.1 IROKO Networks accepts major credit cards, debit cards, and Paypal payments. Subscribers who choose to pay with PayPal will be strictly limited to a single IROKO Networks Account per PayPal account. Virtual credit cards and gift cards typically will not be accepted. Other forms of payment may be arranged by contacting IROKO Networks at [email protected]. Please note that any payment terms presented to you in the process of using or signing up for paid Services are deemed part of this Agreement.
5.2 We use third-party payment processors (the "Payment Processors") to bill you through a payment account linked to your Account on the Services (your "Billing Account") for use of the paid Services. The processing of payments may be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processors in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Processors. By choosing to use paid Services, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Processors, all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of such paid Services in accordance with the applicable payment terms and you authorize us, through the Payment Processors, to charge your chosen payment provider (your "Payment Method"). You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment
Billing and Terms
5.3 The term of this Agreement shall be monthly, to commence on the date that the Subscriber signs up electronically for the Services by creating an Account with an email address. All invoices are denominated, and Subscriber must pay, in U.S. Dollars. Subscribers are typically billed monthly on or about the first day of each month, with payment due no later than ten (10) days past the invoice date. On rare occasions, a Subscriber may be billed an amount up to the Subscriber's current balance in an effort to verify the authenticity of the Subscriber's account information. This process ensures that Subscribers without a payment history are not subjected to additional scrutiny. Monthly fees and renewal fees will be billed at the rate agreed to at purchase. At cancellation, your Account will be inactivated and you will no longer be able to log into our site and/or have any access to the Services. Except in the case of subscription commitments you have agreed to, which shall be nonrefundable, as permitted by law, if you cancel, you agree that fees for the first month of Services and any start-up costs associated with setting up your Account ("Start-up Costs") shall be nonrefundable, as permitted by law. With the exception of any subscription commitments agreed by you, if you paid fees in advance for any period longer than one month, then you may, with the exception of fees for the first month of Services and any Start-up Costs, obtain a refund on a pro rata basis for the period remaining after you cancel.
5.4 Some of the paid Services may consist of an initial period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By choosing a recurring payment plan, you acknowledge that such Services have an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation.
5.5 YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US OR OUR PAYMENT PROCESSORS IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR USER NAME OR PASSWORD. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY USE OF PAID SERVICES UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR PAID SERVICES AS SET FORTH ABOVE.
5.6 Subscriber is responsible for any duties, customs fees, taxes, and related penalties, fines, audits, interest and back-payments relating to Subscriber's purchase of the Services, including but not limited to national, state or local sales taxes, use taxes, value-added taxes (VAT) and goods and services taxes (GST) (collectively, "Taxes"). IROKO Networks's standard pricing policies do not include and are not discounted or enhanced for any such Taxes. If IROKO Networks becomes obligated to collect or pay Taxes in connection with Subscriber's purchase of the Services, those Taxes will be invoiced to that Subscriber as part of a billing process or collected at the time of purchase. In certain states, countries and territories, IROKO Networks may determine if Subscriber's purchase of Services is subject to certain Taxes, and if so, may collect such Taxes and remit them to the appropriate taxing authority. If Subscriber believes that a given tax does not apply or that some amount must be withheld from payments to IROKO Networks, Subscriber must promptly provide IROKO Networks with a tax certificate, withholding receipt, tax identifier (e.g., VAT ID) or other adequate proof, provided such information is valid and sufficiently authorized by all appropriate taxing authorities. Subscriber must also provide IROKO Networks with any tax identification information that is necessary for IROKO Networks to comply with IROKO Networks's tax obligations, as determined by IROKO Networks from time to time. Subscriber will be solely responsible for any misrepresentations made or non-compliance caused by Subscriber regarding Taxes, whether with respect to IROKO Networks or other parties, including any penalties, fines, audits, interest, back-payments or further taxes associated with such misrepresentations or non-compliance.
Arrearages
5.7 Payments not made within ten (10) days of invoicing will be deemed in arrears. For accounts in arrears, if any amount is more than ten (10) days overdue, without the requirement of providing notice of such arrears, IROKO Networks may suspend service to such account and bring legal action to collect the full amount due, including any attorneys' fees and costs.
Suspension for Nonpayment
5.8 If a Subscriber is past due on their balance, IROKO Networks may send up to three (3) email notifications within a fifteen (15) day period before suspending the Subscriber's account. Servers will be temporarily powered off during the suspension period. IROKO Networks reserves the right to delete the Subscriber's suspended machines after the final termination notice.
In other words, we currently accept payment through major credit cards and PayPal. Virtual credit cards and gift cards will often not be accepted, as we've seen repeated fraud and abuse with these methods of payment. You may, however, reach out to us at [email protected] to discuss potential alternate methods of payment. You're typically billed monthly (around the first of the month) for the prior month's usage. And please make sure to keep your billing account profile updated!
6.3 THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY INFORMATION DELIVERED AS PART OF THE SERVICES, AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", "AS AVAILABLE" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINTERFERENCE WITH DATA, AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY, THAT YOU WILL HAVE CONTINUOUS, UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE ACCESS TO OUR WEBSITE OR THAT THE SERVICES ARE ERROR FREE AND ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY ANY COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE, ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. WE, AND OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, PARTNERS AND CONTENT PROVIDERS DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (I) THE SERVICES WILL BE SECURE OR AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION; (II) ANY DEFECTS OR ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED; (III) ANY CONTENT OR SOFTWARE AVAILABLE AT OR THROUGH THE SERVICES IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; OR (IV) THE RESULTS OF USING THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SERVICES CONTAIN INFORMATION PROVIDED BY ONE OR MORE THIRD PARTY DATA PROVIDERS. IROKO NETWORKS DOES NOT CONTROL AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY PROVIDER. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT NEITHER IROKO NETWORKS NOR ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY PROVIDER HAS ANY OBLIGATION TO CORRECT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. INFORMATION YOU REQUEST MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE OR MAY NOT BE PROVIDED, AND IROKO NETWORKS HAS NO LIABILITY FOR SUCH FAILURE. IN NO EVENT WILL IROKO NETWORKS WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THE CORRECTNESS, COMPREHENSIVENESS, COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS OF ANY INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES ON THIS WEBSITE. THE INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE MAY INCLUDE TECHNICAL INACCURACIES OR TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS. THEREFORE, YOU AGREE THAT YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF OUR WEBSITE, PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND CONTENT ARE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
THE ABOVE REFERENCED LANGUAGE DOES NOT APPLY TO VENDOR OFFERINGS. RATHER, ALL LIMITED WARRANTIES, WARRANTY DISCLAIMER, LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND OTHER SPECIFIC PROVISIONS REGARDING THE VENDOR OFFERINGS CAN BE FOUND IN THE IROKO NETWORKS MARKETPLACE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
In other words, we as a company have rights, just like you the customer.
Beta Services
6.4. IROKO Networks may offer "beta" versions or features of the Services (each, a "Beta Service"). IROKO Networks will determine, at its sole discretion, the availability, duration (the "Trial Period"), features, and components of each Beta Service. For avoidance of doubt, any Beta Service is a form of the Services and the provision and use of any Beta Service is subject to the entirety of this Agreement, unless otherwise provided for in this Section 6.4.
ANY BETA SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. IROKO NETWORKS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH REGARD TO ANY BETA SERVICE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will IROKO Networks be liable to you or any third party for any damages or liability related to, arising out of, or caused by any Beta Service and/or any modification, suspension, or termination thereof. If IROKO Networks permits you to use a Beta Service, you agree to provide IROKO Networks Feedback and respond to IROKO Networks's questions or other inquiries regarding your use of the Beta Service, if requested and as applicable. If IROKO Networks permits you to use a Beta Service, you specifically agree, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, to not: (i) use the Beta Service for benchmarking or performance testing or publicly disseminate performance information or analysis from any source relating to the Service; (ii) modify or create derivative works of the Beta Service or remove any product identification, proprietary, copyright or other notices contained in the Beta Service; or (iii) allow any other individual to access or use the Beta Service. IROKO Networks at its sole discretion shall determine whether or not to continue to offer any Beta Service, and may cease offering any Beta Service at any time. Upon completion of a Trial Period, you may lose access to the applicable Beta Service, unless or until the features of the Beta Service are incorporated into the Services, and you agree to return or destroy all copies of documentation and confidential information related to the Beta Service. Any production candidate or non-production version of the Services will be considered a Beta Service.
Subscriber grants to IROKO Networks a limited license to use, reproduce, distribute, and display any data provided to IROKO Networks by Subscriber and/or any user of a Beta Service solely for facilitating the purposes of this Agreement (such data collectively, "Beta Data") (i) as required to provide the Beta Service; and (ii) in de-identified form, to tune, enhance and improve the Service and other IROKO Networks products and services. Subscriber represents and warrants that it has all necessary rights to grant IROKO Networks the rights set forth in this Section, and that it will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and other obligations regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Beta Data. IROKO Networks may use de-identified or aggregated Beta Data collected through a Beta Service for any purpose, including, without limitation, to enhance and improve the Services.
In other words, we may let you try new features, but these are provided "as-is" and are subject to special terms.
IN ADDITION, YOU AGREE THAT IROKO NETWORKS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA COMPILED BY OUR SERVICES AND THAT IROKO NETWORKS WILL NOT BE LIABLE, IN ANY MANNER, AS A RESULT OF YOUR EXPOSURE TO ANY DEFAMATORY, LIBELOUS, THREATENING, UNLAWFULLY HARASSING, OBSCENE OR OTHERWISE UNLAWFUL CONTENT OR DATA. IN NO EVENT SHALL IROKO NETWORKS, OR ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER OF ANY COMPONENT OF THE SERVICES OR OF ANY INFORMATION DELIVERED AS PART OF THE SERVICES, BE LIABLE TO YOU AND/OR ANY PARTY FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES, CONTENT, PRODUCTS, THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THIS WEBSITE, OR ANY LINKED WEBSITE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR OTHER ECONOMIC LOSSES, LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR OTHER DATA, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, EVEN IF IROKO NETWORKS IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, INCLUDING LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH ANY VIRUSES WHICH MAY INFECT YOUR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT.
SOME JURISDICTIONS LIMIT OR PROHIBIT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS, AND IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL BE APPLIED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
In other words, it's pretty unlikely we'll be sharing confidential information with any of our customers.
In other words, we trust that you'll be responsible and back up your own data. Things happen!
In other words, we're proud to have the quality of customers that we do. If it comes up, we may mention you!
In other words, if, for example, you're angry with someone for something they write on a website that's hosted on IROKO Networks, we can't be held responsible for what they say or do.
In other words, if you violate these Terms of Service, then we have the right to put a hold on your account. These actions are reserved for the most drastic offenses; you will more likely receive a warning and will be able to continue using our services as long as the undesirable behavior ceases. You, however, are free to terminate your account without reason at any time.
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using the Services. These Terms of Service apply to all users of the Services.

Beside the official version of these Terms of Service, we have put a simplified commentary entitled "In other words" to assist you in your comprehension of these Terms. However, it is the "Terms of Service" which govern your access and use of the Services not the commentary set out in "In other words" or included in other similar explanations which are provided for informational purposes only and do NOT include all of the information in the Terms of Service. You should always read the full text of the Terms of Service and not just the "In other words" commentary or other explanations.
SOME JURISDICTIONS HAVE CONSUMER PROTECTION AND OTHER LEGISLATION WHICH MAY APPLY TO THE SERVICES AND WHICH DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN PROVISIONS SUCH AS LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, AMONG OTHERS. TO THE EXTENT THAT A LIMITATION, EXCLUSION, RESTRICTION OR OTHER PROVISION SET OUT BELOW IS SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH LIMITATION, EXCLUSION, RESTRICTION OR PROVISION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
In other words, welcome to our Terms of Service agreement! This document exists to protect both you and us. By using our services, you agree to our Terms of Service agreement. If you're like us, you don't always have time to read through the entire document. That's why we've summarized the key points for you, and will update you when any major changes are made.

The use of referral codes by multiple Accounts having the same billing profile is not allowed. IROKO Networks also reserves the right to terminate a Subscriber's Account if it is targeted by malicious activity from other parties.
3.7 As a reward for being early adopters of the Services, Subscribers with grandfathered Accounts shall receive free bandwidth for the duration that such Account is operative and conducts its operations in compliance with these Terms of Service ("Grandfathered Accounts"). The free bandwidth may only be used directly by the Subscriber of such Grandfathered Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscribers of Grandfathered Accounts must NOT: (i) run Torrents for download or Seed Servers, TOR, or services that include content of an adult or pornographic nature; (ii) resell services through their Account to provide free bandwidth to other individuals; or (iii) transfer the Account ownership to another individual or entity, or otherwise circumvent the intended fair usage of free bandwidth by distributing it freely to others. Failure of Subscribers of Grandfathered Accounts to follow these terms will result in the revocation of their Accounts' grandfathered status.
3.8 You may not use the Services to obtain information about or make decisions about anyone but yourself. You are solely responsible for any reliance by you on the Services or other use you make of the Services. Comments, suggestions or materials sent or transmitted to IROKO Networks (collectively "Feedback"), shall be deemed to be non-confidential. Subject to the conditions described in IROKO Networks's Privacy Policy, IROKO Networks shall have no obligation of any kind with respect to such Feedback and shall be free to use and distribute the Feedback to others without limitation, including, but not limited to developing and marketing products incorporating such Feedback. IROKO Networks reserves the right to publish or use any responses, questions or comments emailed to IROKO Networks for promotional or other purposes without any further permission, notice or payment of any kind to the sender. All such submissions will be the property of IROKO Networks.
3.9 The enumeration of violations in this Section 3 of these Terms of Service is not meant to be exclusive, and IROKO Networks provides notice hereby that it has and will exercise its authority to take whatever action is necessary to protect the Services, Subscribers, and third parties from acts that would be inimical to the purposes of this Section 3 of these Terms of Service.

Agreed Use of Allotted Network Resources
3.11 Subscribers shall not use any method to circumvent the provisions of these Terms of Service, or to obtain Services in excess of those for which they contract with IROKO Networks. Subscribers shall use only those IP addresses that are assigned to them by IROKO Networks, and shall not use any IP addresses outside of their assigned range. Subscribers shall not use any mechanism to exceed the amount of resources assigned to them through the Services, or to conceal such activities.
Injurious Code

Email Violations
3.13 Subscribers shall not send bulk email utilizing their resources on the Services unless they maintain a double-authorized list of subscribed members including IP addresses and relevant contact information, along with following guidelines for including removal links with all sent emails according to the such legislation. Subscribers shall comply with all laws regarding the sending of commercial electronic messages or other marketing or electronic communications. Subscribers are forbidden from taking any action that would result in their IP addresses, or any IP address associated with IROKO Networks or other Subscribers, being placed on the Spamhaus.org blacklist. IROKO Networks reserves the sole and absolute right to determine whether an email violation has occurred.
Invasion of Privacy, Defamation, or Harassment
3.14 Subscribers may not use the Services in a manner that would violate the lawful privacy rights of any person, or to publish or republish defamatory or libelous statements, or to harass or embarrass, which shall be determined in IROKO Networks's sole and absolute discretion.
Violation of Copyright, Trademark, Patent or Trade Secret
3.15 Subscribers may not use the Services in violation of the copyrights, trademarks, patents or trade secrets of third parties, nor shall they utilize the Services to publish such materials in a manner that would expose them to public view in violation of the law. The provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA") (as required under 17 U.S.C. §512) and all other applicable international trademark, copyright, patent or other intellectual property laws will apply to issues presented by allegations of copyright violations by third parties. IROKO Networks will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat violators. If a third party believes that a Subscriber of IROKO Networks is violating its intellectual property rights, it should notify us by email at [email protected]. A notification should include information reasonably sufficient to permit IROKO Networks to locate the allegedly infringing material, such as the IP address or URL of the specific online location where the alleged infringement is occurring.
Export
3.16 Subscriber shall comply with all applicable export and import control laws and regulations in its use of the Services, and, in particular, Subscriber shall not utilize the Services to export or re-export data or software without all required Panama and foreign government licenses. Subscriber assumes full legal responsibility for any access and use of the Services from outside the Panama, with full understanding that the same may constitute export of technology and technical data that may implicate export regulations and/or require export license. Should such a license be required, it shall be Subscriber's responsibility to obtain the same, at Subscriber's sole cost and expense, and in the event of any breach of this duty resulting in legal claims against IROKO Networks, Subscriber shall defend, indemnify and hold IROKO Networks harmless from all claims and damages arising therefrom.
Acts of Sub-Users
3.17 Subscribers are responsible for the acts of others utilizing their access to the Services, and will be held responsible for violations of the Services by their sub-users or persons who gain access to the Services using the Subscriber's access codes. Any activity that a Subscriber is prohibited from performing by these Terms of Services is equally prohibited to anyone using the access to the Services of the Subscriber.
Access Code Protection

Remedial Action
3.20 Subscribers shall notify IROKO Networks if and when they learn of any security breaches regarding the Services, and shall aid in any investigation or legal action that is taken by authorities and/or IROKO Networks to cure the security breach.
In other words, be mindful about how you use our services. If you are breaking laws, being obscene, or abusing our infrastructure, we have the right to stop you from doing these things. You must also notify IROKO Networks before registering multiple accounts with the same billing address to prevent being flagged for abuse. You're also responsible for the acts of others utilizing your access to our services, as we have no way of distinguishing your actions from the actions of your sub-users. Be careful who you give your information to—it's to protect both us and you!
- Third Party Services
In other words, it's up to you to be careful when accessing third-party resources on the Internet—they're outside of our control and we cannot be blamed for any negative outcomes. If you have a problem with them, please let those services know directly!
- Payments and Billing
5.1 IROKO Networks accepts major credit cards, debit cards, and Paypal payments. Subscribers who choose to pay with PayPal will be strictly limited to a single IROKO Networks Account per PayPal account. Virtual credit cards and gift cards typically will not be accepted. Other forms of payment may be arranged by contacting IROKO Networks at [email protected]. Please note that any payment terms presented to you in the process of using or signing up for paid Services are deemed part of this Agreement.
5.2 We use third-party payment processors (the "Payment Processors") to bill you through a payment account linked to your Account on the Services (your "Billing Account") for use of the paid Services. The processing of payments may be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processors in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Processors. By choosing to use paid Services, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Processors, all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of such paid Services in accordance with the applicable payment terms and you authorize us, through the Payment Processors, to charge your chosen payment provider (your "Payment Method"). You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment
Billing and Terms
5.3 The term of this Agreement shall be monthly, to commence on the date that the Subscriber signs up electronically for the Services by creating an Account with an email address. All invoices are denominated, and Subscriber must pay, in U.S. Dollars. Subscribers are typically billed monthly on or about the first day of each month, with payment due no later than ten (10) days past the invoice date. On rare occasions, a Subscriber may be billed an amount up to the Subscriber's current balance in an effort to verify the authenticity of the Subscriber's account information. This process ensures that Subscribers without a payment history are not subjected to additional scrutiny. Monthly fees and renewal fees will be billed at the rate agreed to at purchase. At cancellation, your Account will be inactivated and you will no longer be able to log into our site and/or have any access to the Services. Except in the case of subscription commitments you have agreed to, which shall be nonrefundable, as permitted by law, if you cancel, you agree that fees for the first month of Services and any start-up costs associated with setting up your Account ("Start-up Costs") shall be nonrefundable, as permitted by law. With the exception of any subscription commitments agreed by you, if you paid fees in advance for any period longer than one month, then you may, with the exception of fees for the first month of Services and any Start-up Costs, obtain a refund on a pro rata basis for the period remaining after you cancel.
5.4 Some of the paid Services may consist of an initial period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By choosing a recurring payment plan, you acknowledge that such Services have an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation.
5.5 YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US OR OUR PAYMENT PROCESSORS IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR USER NAME OR PASSWORD. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY USE OF PAID SERVICES UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR PAID SERVICES AS SET FORTH ABOVE.
5.6 Subscriber is responsible for any duties, customs fees, taxes, and related penalties, fines, audits, interest and back-payments relating to Subscriber's purchase of the Services, including but not limited to national, state or local sales taxes, use taxes, value-added taxes (VAT) and goods and services taxes (GST) (collectively, "Taxes"). IROKO Networks's standard pricing policies do not include and are not discounted or enhanced for any such Taxes. If IROKO Networks becomes obligated to collect or pay Taxes in connection with Subscriber's purchase of the Services, those Taxes will be invoiced to that Subscriber as part of a billing process or collected at the time of purchase. In certain states, countries and territories, IROKO Networks may determine if Subscriber's purchase of Services is subject to certain Taxes, and if so, may collect such Taxes and remit them to the appropriate taxing authority. If Subscriber believes that a given tax does not apply or that some amount must be withheld from payments to IROKO Networks, Subscriber must promptly provide IROKO Networks with a tax certificate, withholding receipt, tax identifier (e.g., VAT ID) or other adequate proof, provided such information is valid and sufficiently authorized by all appropriate taxing authorities. Subscriber must also provide IROKO Networks with any tax identification information that is necessary for IROKO Networks to comply with IROKO Networks's tax obligations, as determined by IROKO Networks from time to time. Subscriber will be solely responsible for any misrepresentations made or non-compliance caused by Subscriber regarding Taxes, whether with respect to IROKO Networks or other parties, including any penalties, fines, audits, interest, back-payments or further taxes associated with such misrepresentations or non-compliance.
Arrearages
5.7 Payments not made within ten (10) days of invoicing will be deemed in arrears. For accounts in arrears, if any amount is more than ten (10) days overdue, without the requirement of providing notice of such arrears, IROKO Networks may suspend service to such account and bring legal action to collect the full amount due, including any attorneys' fees and costs.
Suspension for Nonpayment
5.8 If a Subscriber is past due on their balance, IROKO Networks may send up to three (3) email notifications within a fifteen (15) day period before suspending the Subscriber's account. Servers will be temporarily powered off during the suspension period. IROKO Networks reserves the right to delete the Subscriber's suspended machines after the final termination notice.
In other words, we currently accept payment through major credit cards and PayPal. Virtual credit cards and gift cards will often not be accepted, as we've seen repeated fraud and abuse with these methods of payment. You may, however, reach out to us at [email protected] to discuss potential alternate methods of payment. You're typically billed monthly (around the first of the month) for the prior month's usage. And please make sure to keep your billing account profile updated!

Beta Services
6.4. IROKO Networks may offer "beta" versions or features of the Services (each, a "Beta Service"). IROKO Networks will determine, at its sole discretion, the availability, duration (the "Trial Period"), features, and components of each Beta Service. For avoidance of doubt, any Beta Service is a form of the Services and the provision and use of any Beta Service is subject to the entirety of this Agreement, unless otherwise provided for in this Section 6.4.
ANY BETA SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. IROKO NETWORKS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH REGARD TO ANY BETA SERVICE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will IROKO Networks be liable to you or any third party for any damages or liability related to, arising out of, or caused by any Beta Service and/or any modification, suspension, or termination thereof. If IROKO Networks permits you to use a Beta Service, you agree to provide IROKO Networks Feedback and respond to IROKO Networks's questions or other inquiries regarding your use of the Beta Service, if requested and as applicable. If IROKO Networks permits you to use a Beta Service, you specifically agree, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, to not: (i) use the Beta Service for benchmarking or performance testing or publicly disseminate performance information or analysis from any source relating to the Service; (ii) modify or create derivative works of the Beta Service or remove any product identification, proprietary, copyright or other notices contained in the Beta Service; or (iii) allow any other individual to access or use the Beta Service. IROKO Networks at its sole discretion shall determine whether or not to continue to offer any Beta Service, and may cease offering any Beta Service at any time. Upon completion of a Trial Period, you may lose access to the applicable Beta Service, unless or until the features of the Beta Service are incorporated into the Services, and you agree to return or destroy all copies of documentation and confidential information related to the Beta Service. Any production candidate or non-production version of the Services will be considered a Beta Service.
Subscriber grants to IROKO Networks a limited license to use, reproduce, distribute, and display any data provided to IROKO Networks by Subscriber and/or any user of a Beta Service solely for facilitating the purposes of this Agreement (such data collectively, "Beta Data") (i) as required to provide the Beta Service; and (ii) in de-identified form, to tune, enhance and improve the Service and other IROKO Networks products and services. Subscriber represents and warrants that it has all necessary rights to grant IROKO Networks the rights set forth in this Section, and that it will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and other obligations regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Beta Data. IROKO Networks may use de-identified or aggregated Beta Data collected through a Beta Service for any purpose, including, without limitation, to enhance and improve the Services.
In other words, we may let you try new features, but these are provided "as-is" and are subject to special terms.
- Limitation of Liability
IN ADDITION, YOU AGREE THAT IROKO NETWORKS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA COMPILED BY OUR SERVICES AND THAT IROKO NETWORKS WILL NOT BE LIABLE, IN ANY MANNER, AS A RESULT OF YOUR EXPOSURE TO ANY DEFAMATORY, LIBELOUS, THREATENING, UNLAWFULLY HARASSING, OBSCENE OR OTHERWISE UNLAWFUL CONTENT OR DATA. IN NO EVENT SHALL IROKO NETWORKS, OR ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER OF ANY COMPONENT OF THE SERVICES OR OF ANY INFORMATION DELIVERED AS PART OF THE SERVICES, BE LIABLE TO YOU AND/OR ANY PARTY FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES, CONTENT, PRODUCTS, THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THIS WEBSITE, OR ANY LINKED WEBSITE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR OTHER ECONOMIC LOSSES, LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR OTHER DATA, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, EVEN IF IROKO NETWORKS IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, INCLUDING LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH ANY VIRUSES WHICH MAY INFECT YOUR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT.
SOME JURISDICTIONS LIMIT OR PROHIBIT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS, AND IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL BE APPLIED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
- Confidentiality
In other words, it's pretty unlikely we'll be sharing confidential information with any of our customers.
- Backup
In other words, we trust that you'll be responsible and back up your own data. Things happen!
- Publicity
In other words, we're proud to have the quality of customers that we do. If it comes up, we may mention you!
- Indemnification
In other words, if, for example, you're angry with someone for something they write on a website that's hosted on IROKO Networks, we can't be held responsible for what they say or do.
- Termination and Access
In other words, if you violate these Terms of Service, then we have the right to put a hold on your account. These actions are reserved for the most drastic offenses; you will more likely receive a warning and will be able to continue using our services as long as the undesirable behavior ceases. You, however, are free to terminate your account without reason at any time.
