Acceptable Use Policy

1. Purpose and Scope

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) sets the rules for using the Services of LeyndHost, a trading name of DataPasa Limited. It applies to every customer and to anyone a customer allows to use their Services.

This AUP is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service. A breach of this AUP is a breach of the Terms of Service and may lead to suspension or termination of your Services or account.

2. Privacy Services Are Welcome

LeyndHost is built for privacy. You may run the following on our servers without asking us first:

• VPN servers, for yourself or for others;
• proxy servers;
• Tor relays and Tor bridges.

Tor exit nodes are allowed only if you notify support at [email protected] before you start running one, and you handle abuse reports about it promptly. Exit traffic attracts complaints, and we must be able to answer them.

Use your own domain

You must not configure a server to masquerade as a third party website by presenting someone else’s domain in the TLS handshake (SNI). A common example is VLESS Reality set up with the domain of a well known site. Some countries respond to this by blocking whole subnets, which cuts off every customer on them. If your setup needs a domain, use your own. We check for this with an automated scanner that inspects only the TLS handshake, as described in our Privacy Policy. A server found doing this may be stopped after a warning.

3. Prohibited Content

You must not store, transmit or distribute content that:

• is or facilitates child sexual abuse material (CSAM). This is a criminal offence under the Protection of Children Act 1978. We terminate the account immediately and report it to the National Crime Agency and other relevant authorities;
• is illegal under the laws of England and Wales;
• infringes intellectual property rights, including distributing copyrighted material without permission;
• is malware, or is designed to deceive people, such as phishing pages and fraudulent websites;
• harasses, threatens or incites hatred against others.

4. Prohibited Activities

You must not use the Services to:

• Attack networks: launch or take part in denial of service (DDoS) attacks or any other attack on third party systems;
• Scan third parties: scan ports, probe or map networks and systems that you do not own or have no permission to test;
• Gain unauthorised access: break into any system, network, account or data, including brute forcing passwords;
• Run botnets: operate command and control servers, botnet nodes or malware distribution infrastructure;
• Send spam: send unsolicited messages, including unsolicited bulk email, or operate open mail relays;
• Phish or defraud: host phishing pages, fraudulent shops or tools designed to deceive users;
• Spoof addresses: forge source IP addresses or take part in traffic amplification attacks;
• Harass: harass, stalk or threaten any person.

5. Resource Use

• Cryptocurrency mining is forbidden without our prior written approval.
• You must not use resources in a way that materially degrades shared infrastructure or the servers of other customers. Where a server creates network load that affects shared uplinks or other customers, we may limit its network speed. We notify you where possible. Where delay would cause further harm, we may act first and notify you afterwards.
• If your workload needs consistently high resources, contact support to discuss a suitable plan.

6. Reporting Abuse

To report abuse coming from our network, email [email protected] with the IP address involved, the date and time with time zone, and a description or evidence of the issue. We acknowledge reports within 1 business day.

We forward reports to the customer concerned and expect them to respond and fix the issue promptly. We do not give the reporter any information about our customer unless UK law requires it.

7. Enforcement

When we find a breach of this AUP, we may take one or more of these steps, depending on how serious it is:

1. Warning: we ask you to stop the activity within a stated time.
2. Restriction: we block specific ports or limit the traffic of the server.
3. Suspension: we stop the server while the issue is investigated or resolved.
4. Termination: we delete the Services or close the account, without refund, where the breach is serious or repeated.

We may act immediately and without warning where delay could harm others or the integrity of our network, and in every case involving CSAM. Where the law requires it, we report illegal activity to the authorities.

8. Customer Responsibility

You are solely responsible for your servers, the software you run on them, the content they host and all activity carried out through them, including activity of people you allow to use them. Keep your systems updated and secure: a compromised server that attacks others is treated as a breach of this AUP even if you did not intend it.

LeyndHost acts as a neutral conduit and hosting provider. We do not monitor the content on your servers and are not liable for content you store or transmit. You agree to indemnify DataPasa Limited against claims, losses and liabilities arising from your breach of this AUP.

9. Changes and Contact

We may update this AUP from time to time. We notify material changes by email to your account address. If you continue to use the Services after a change takes effect, you accept the updated AUP.
