Acceptable Use Policy

What you may and may not do on our network. Supplements our Terms of Service.

Purpose

Aluy provides VPS hosting, dedicated servers, and IP/ASN (LIR) services for lawful, legitimate use only. This policy describes activities that are prohibited and may result in warnings, suspension, or immediate termination without refund. We may update this policy at any time; material changes will be communicated to customers.

Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for all activity on your account and all content stored, processed, or distributed through our infrastructure. This includes activity by your own customers, end-users, or any third party who accesses the service through your account. Ignorance of the content hosted under your account is not a defence.

Illegal or harmful content

You must not use our services to store, distribute, or facilitate:

• Content or activity that violates applicable law in your jurisdiction, our jurisdiction (Germany/EU), or where the service is hosted
• Child sexual abuse material, non-consensual intimate imagery, or related illegal material
• Fraud, scams, phishing, or impersonation intended to deceive users or steal credentials or funds
• Terrorism, incitement to violence, or other serious crime

Network abuse

The following are prohibited:

• Denial-of-service attacks, flooding, or participation in DDoS activity (as source, relay, or control)
• Unauthorized port scanning, vulnerability scanning of third parties without permission, or probing networks you do not own or lack authorization to test
• Open relays, bulk unsolicited email (spam), or hosting services primarily used to send spam
• IP address spoofing, BGP hijacking, or other routing abuse affecting third parties
• Cryptocurrency mining or other resource-intensive use that materially degrades shared infrastructure without prior written agreement

Malware & phishing

You must not use our services to distribute, command-and-control, or profit from:

• Malware, ransomware, botnets, or exploit kits
• Phishing pages, credential harvesting, or fake login portals
• Services whose primary purpose is to attack or compromise third-party systems

Sanctions & export compliance

You must comply with all applicable trade sanctions and export control laws, including EU regulations and, where applicable, other relevant jurisdictions. You may not provide services to or through sanctioned individuals, entities, or territories.

Enforcement

We may investigate credible reports, preserve relevant logs where appropriate, and take action at our sole reasonable discretion, including but not limited to: issuing warnings, throttling or null-routing traffic, suspending services, terminating accounts without refund, deleting data, and cooperating with law enforcement and payment processors when legally required. We are not obligated to provide advance notice before taking action where we reasonably believe there is an ongoing or imminent violation, a risk to third parties, or a legal obligation to act.

You acknowledge that enforcement actions may result in permanent loss of data and that our liability limitations as set out in the Terms of Service apply.

Report abuse to abuse@aluy.net with enough detail to investigate (timestamps, IPs, URLs). For the full contractual framework, see our Terms of Service.
