Terms of Service

1. Overview & Acceptance

Welcome to SSC Services ("we", "us", "our"). We provide high-performance cloud infrastructure, database management solutions, automated security frameworks, and developer toolings ("Services"). By registering an account, subscribing to a cloud resource, or utilizing any component of our platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not accept these terms, you must immediately discontinue use of all SSC Services.

2. Service Subscriptions & Recurring Billing

SSC Services operates on an automated, recurring subscription model:

• Subscription Tier: Active access to cloud resources, instance deployments, and premium features starts at a base rate of $2.00 USD per month, unless otherwise specified during plan selection.
• Automated Renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically every 30 days from the initial purchase date using the payment method on file until canceled by the user.
• Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your active subscription at any time via your account dashboard. Upon cancellation, your access will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle.
• Refund Policy: Payments are non-refundable once processed. In the event of account termination resulting from a violation of our Acceptable Use Policy, all remaining subscription time and associated credits are forfeited without entitlement to a refund.

3. Acceptable Use & Strict Conduct

Our infrastructure is designed for legitimate developer, administrative, and cloud hosting workflows. You expressly agree NOT to use SSC Services to:

• Host, distribute, or execute malicious software, ransomware, keyloggers, or unauthorized exploit code.
• Perform Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) attacks, brute-force operations, or network scanning against third-party targets.
• Exceed API rate limits intentionally or attempt to disrupt network health and shared server resources.
• Store or transmit illegal content, copyrighted materials without authorization, or engage in fraudulent activities.
• Bypass account access controls or attempt to reverse engineer our proprietary storage architectures.

4. Account Lifecycle & Data Retention

We enforce strict data maintenance lifecycle rules to optimize cloud resource availability:

• Active Accounts: Your operational configurations, database records, and settings remain persistently available as long as your account remains active and funded.
• Service Disconnection / Grace Period: If a service instance is disconnected, or if an account enters an unpaid state, a strict 14-day data retention clock is initiated.
• Automated Deletion: If an account or instance is not restored within 14 calendar days following expiration or disconnection, all associated databases, keys, backups, and user configurations are permanently and unrecoverably purged from our storage nodes for security and compliance purposes.

5. Service Availability & Modification

While we strive for maximum uptime across our global network, SSC Services are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. We reserve the right to modify, update, pause, or discontinue specific API endpoints or feature sets to perform emergency maintenance, security patches, or infrastructure upgrades.

6. Account Termination

We reserve the absolute right to suspend or permanently terminate any user account or IP address with immediate effect, without prior notice, if we detect activity that violates these Terms, poses an immediate threat to our infrastructure, or compromises the security of other tenant nodes.
