Permission is granted to download the materials (information or software) on Lilypad's website/associated websites for personal, non-commercial viewing only. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title, and under this license you may not:

• modify or copy the materials;
• use the materials for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial);
• attempt to decompile or reverse engineer any software contained on Lilypad's website;
• remove any copyright or other proprietary notations from the materials; or

Any abuse or violation of this license may result in your access to Our Services being automatically terminated by us without notice.

Your account

When using any of Our Services, you are accountable for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your account and password/authentication methods, and are responsible for all activities that take place under your account. This includes the disclosure to any third party, other than Lilypad or its payment service providers, any Personally Identifiable Information that you obtain via the use of Our Services.

By using Our Services, you acknowledge and agree that you are at least 18 years of age. If you are under 18 years of age but are at least 13 years old, you may only use Our Services with the consent of your parent or legal guardian.

You agree to maintain up-to-date account and payment information to ensure Lilypad can provide you with a reliable and responsive service.

Charges, payments & refunds

New Customers may register for their Lilypad account on our website while purchasing Our Services. All newly purchased services are invoiced immediately in accordance with the monthly or quarterly billing option selected. The invoice must then be paid in full before the service(s) are provisioned.

By using Our Services, you agree that, if you have a payment method on file with us, we will automatically charge your designated payment method on a monthly or quarterly basis for the agreed-upon service fees presented at checkout. This payment will be taken on the due date for your server each month/quarter, which is available to be viewed within the Servers page of your billing panel. If you wish to cancel your server, please refer to our cancellation guide.

For existing Customers with recurring monthly and quarterly Game Hosting services, the timeline for invoices and payment is as follows:

• 7 days before the due date, invoices for monthly and quarterly billed services are issued
• 3 days before the due date, if an invoice is unpaid, a payment reminder email is issued
• On the due date, if an invoice is unpaid, the Customer is given 3 day's grace to make full payment
• 3 days after the due date, if an invoice remains unpaid, the Customer will be notified by email and the relevant service will be suspended. When this happens, the service will cease to operate but can be reactivated without any loss of data once full invoice payment has been received
• 7 days after the due date, if an invoice remains unpaid, the Customer will be notified by email and the relevant service will be terminated, after which data will no longer be accessible

For Customers on our Managed Dedicated Server offerings, however, any notice of cancellation must be made at least 3 days before the due date of the service. This allows us time to migrate data elsewhere, and make our upstream provider aware of the cancellation.

When a service is terminated for non-payment of an invoice (or for any other reason), any data associated with that service is automatically deleted from our systems and cannot be recovered. Your Lilypad account will not be removed from our systems.

Lilypad offers a 72-hour, no-questions-asked refund policy for Game Hosting services, referred to on our website as a "Money-Back Guarantee". Managed Dedicated Server offerings are non-refundable. We reserve the right to deny a refund request if we believe fraudulent activity may be involved, and we will only ever issue one refund request per Customer. We will not offer refunds after this 72-hour period, unless it forms part of a promotional offer. To request a refund, please contact us as soon as possible.

Initiating a dispute or chargeback via any payment gateway will result in immediate termination of your account including any services purchased, and a permanent ban from using Our Services at any point in the future.

"Free credit" on partner platforms of Lilypad, offered with some plans, applies to paying Customers only. Customers partaking in a promotional deal may be excluded from this offer.

For Customers selecting "Tebex" as the payment gateway at checkout, we partner with Tebex Limited (tebex.io), who will be the official merchant of record for digital services provided by us through this gateway. In order to make any such purchase from Tebex, you must agree to their terms, available here. If you have any queries about a purchase made through Tebex, such as technical issues during purchase, you should contact Tebex support in the first instance.

Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Lilypad guarantees a network and hardware uptime of 99.95% in any given month. In the unlikely event that the uptime of your server falls below 99.95%, you may request to be compensated by getting in touch with us. We will then investigate the circumstances and duration of the downtime.

Where the downtime was entirely due to a problem with Our Services and was beyond your control, at our discretion we may agree to credit your Lilypad account with an amount equal to the cost of that downtime. Any credit held in your Lilypad account can be used to make future purchases of Our Services.

Note that any "free" services are provided without warranty and are not eligible for SLA compensation.

Lilypad disclaims all liability whatsoever for any damage, loss, or destruction of data stored through usage of Our Services.

Cancellation of services

When a Customer wishes to cancel one or more of Our Services, they must notify us of this using the Request Cancellation option within our billing panel. The cancellation options are as follows:

• Immediately — the selected service is terminated within 24 hours of receipt of the cancellation request. No refunds will be provided for any of the billing period that is outstanding
• Next Due Date — the selected service is terminated on the next invoice due date

In both cases, all data associated with the service will be deleted automatically on the relevant date with no option for recovery. Where a Customer wishes to retain any of their data, it is their responsibility to save it to a safe location outside their server before the service termination date.

Customers are responsible for cancelling any recurring payment subscriptions for Our Services that they have set up with a payment gateway or provider such as PayPal upon service termination.
