Company Name: PineRiver

1.1 External Payment Services

We use external payment services, including Quickpay, Stripe, and PayPal, to process customer payments. All payments are subject to these providers’ own terms and conditions, as well as applicable legislation.

2. General Rental Terms for PineRiver


2.1 Changes to Terms and Prices

PineRiver reserves the right to make continuous changes to prices and these Terms. Any price changes will not apply retroactively to already ongoing subscriptions, unless otherwise specifically agreed with the customer. Any changes are usually notified via email or posted on our website.

2.2 Access to Customer Data

PineRiver reserves the right to access customer data (including content on servers, VPS, etc.) if we have reasonable suspicion of illegal activities or a breach of these Terms. Customer data will not be accessed without proper cause or disclosed in any unjustified way.

2.3 Updating Your Account

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that contact information (including email, address, phone number, and payment details) is always accurate and up to date.

3. Liability for Data


3.1 Content and Data

PineRiver cannot be held liable for any content or data that the customer may upload, process, or store on PineRiver’s servers. The customer bears sole responsibility for the legality of the content. Offensive, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate material is the customer’s own responsibility.

3.2 Security

The customer is responsible for taking their own backups of data, unless otherwise agreed in writing with PineRiver. PineRiver cannot be held liable for data loss, system failures, break-ins, power outages, or similar issues.

4. Right of Withdrawal


4.1 Digital Product

Purchases at PineRiver exclusively involve digital services (e.g., hosting, virtual servers, software licenses). By completing the purchase, the customer accepts that service delivery begins immediately. Therefore, the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal is generally waived, pursuant to consumer protection laws on digital services.

4.2 Exceptions

In exceptional cases where PineRiver is responsible for significant downtime or delivery shortcomings, a full or partial refund, or other compensation, may be agreed on an individual basis. If the customer has mistakenly purchased the wrong product, the customer may contact PineRiver’s support to find a suitable solution.

5. Scripts and Server Load


5.1 Use of Scripts

PineRiver provides a few scripts to customers. If the customer installs their own scripts, they must not cause unreasonable server load. In the event of unreasonable load or service disruption, PineRiver reserves the right to suspend the affected service or request the customer to rectify the issue within a specified timeframe.

6. Payment and Setup


6.1 Invoicing

When purchasing a product, an invoice will be issued and must be paid via Quickpay, Stripe, or PayPal—unless otherwise agreed in writing. Once the invoice is paid, the product setup begins.

6.2 Choice of Payment Interval

The customer may opt to pay monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, depending on the available subscription types. The listed prices include any fees associated with the chosen payment method, unless otherwise stated.

6.3 Subscription

By purchasing, the customer automatically subscribes to a service that renews at the end of each period.

7. Renewal and Product Expiry


7.1 Invoice Deadline

The invoice for the next period is sent 10 days before the product expires. A reminder about the upcoming renewal is sent 7 days before the expiration date.

7.2 Automatic Charge

If the customer is enrolled in automatic payment via credit card (Quickpay/Stripe), payment is attempted 5 days before the due date to avoid payment issues. For automatic payments through PayPal, the charge occurs on the same day as the due date or in accordance with PayPal’s current procedures.

7.3 Late Payment

If the invoice is not paid on time, the customer will receive daily email reminders for up to 3 days after the expiration date. If payment is still not made, the product is automatically deleted 7 days after the expiration date. Deleted products cannot be restored.

8. Termination of Product


8.1 Termination Procedure

The customer may terminate their product by canceling the automatic payment via PayPal, Stripe, or by contacting PineRiver support in writing (e.g., via email). Upon termination through support, we may ask clarifying questions before finalizing the termination.

8.2 Termination Deadline

The customer must terminate at least 5 days before the expiration date (12:00) to avoid automatic renewal. If termination occurs later than 5 days before the due date, PineRiver may charge a subscription fee for the next period (typically one month).

9. Chargeback


9.1 Handling Chargebacks

If the customer initiates a chargeback, PineRiver reserves the right to immediately suspend the product while the case is under review. The rental period and payment obligations continue during the review period unless otherwise agreed. PineRiver reserves the right to contact the customer by phone or in writing using the information provided on the account.

10. Personal Data and Confidentiality


10.1 Disclosure to Third Parties

PineRiver does not disclose customer information to third parties unless required by law or explicitly authorized by the customer. All data is treated confidentially in accordance with applicable data protection legislation (GDPR).

10.2 Right of Access

The customer may at any time request information regarding which personal data PineRiver is processing about them. Such a request for access should be sent in writing to our support.

10.3 Account Security

The customer is responsible for maintaining the security of their account. PineRiver recommends using a complex password (including uppercase/lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters) and not reusing passwords from other services.

11. Violation of Terms


11.1 Procedure in Case of Violation

If these Terms are violated, PineRiver will generally issue a warning via email. In the event of repeated or severe violations, PineRiver reserves the right to immediately close or delete the customer’s account and/or product without further notice.

12. Data Loss and Disclaimer


12.1 Limitation of Liability

PineRiver cannot be held liable for direct or indirect losses, including data loss, operational losses, loss of profit, or similar, unless otherwise required by non-waivable legislation. Customers should always make their own backups of all critical data.

13. Automatic Subscription Payment


13.1 Automatic Renewal

By ordering a product from PineRiver, automatic subscription payment is usually activated via the chosen payment method (Quickpay/Stripe/PayPal). The customer is responsible for ensuring valid coverage and correct card/account details at all times.

13.2 Canceling the Subscription

Should the customer wish to cancel the automatic subscription payment, they must do so in writing to the support team, or by canceling the agreement directly in PayPal/Stripe, if that option is available.

14. Support


14.1 Scope of Support

PineRiver provides support via email and/or a ticket system, as far as capacity and expertise allow. We reserve the right to refuse support if the request is not related to the product, is unreasonably time-consuming, or if there is an abuse of support. In particularly busy periods, response times may be longer than normal.

15. Server Rules and EULA


15.1 Game Server and EULA

By purchasing hosting for a game server(s), the customer automatically agrees to the applicable EULA (End-User License Agreement) and any rules from third-party developers (e.g., Minecraft’s EULA). PineRiver accepts the necessary EULAs on behalf of the customer during setup, but it is still the customer’s responsibility to comply with them.

15.2 Storage Space

All game servers at PineRiver have a set maximum storage space (e.g., 20 GB), unless otherwise agreed in writing. For Minecraft servers, the following also applies: 4 GB of storage per 1 GB of RAM (4096 MB per 1 GB RAM). In cases of overuse, PineRiver reserves the right to suspend the product until the customer either reduces usage or purchases additional capacity.

15.3 Resource Usage

If a server uses an unreasonable amount of CPU, RAM, or network resources to the detriment of other customers on the same machine, PineRiver may suspend or limit the affected server. The customer will typically be given 4 days to reduce usage or upgrade the service before further sanctions are implemented.

16. VPS and Windows Licenses


16.1 Linux and Windows

PineRiver offers Linux-based VPS solutions at no extra cost. For Windows Server solutions, the customer may either rent a license through PineRiver or use a valid license of their own.

16.2 License Responsibility

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that Windows licenses are valid at all times. If a VPS is operated without a valid license, PineRiver may require the installation of a valid license or suspend the service until this is resolved.

17. Contact and Disputes


17.1 Support and Complaints

If you have any questions regarding the Terms or wish to file a complaint, you may contact us via email at [email protected]. We strive to respond within a reasonable time.

17.2 Governing Law and Jurisdiction
