Acceptable Use Policy

We created Pyro to make it easier to host servers for your favorite games. We're committed to making our platform safe, secure, and welcoming, and we need your help to do that. This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") outlines common-sense rules that apply to all Pyro users. The AUP is part of the Terms of Service.
You may not use our Site or the Services (each as defined in our Terms of Service), or enable anyone else to use the Site or the Services, in a manner that:
  • violates or infringes someone else’s rights of privacy, publicity, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right;
  • bullies, harasses, or intimidates any person or group of people;
  • defames, abuses, harasses, threatens, or otherwise violates the legal rights of others;
  • create accounts to access our Services through unauthorized or automated means;
  • interferes with the integrity or performance of the Site or the Services, whether by use of malicious code, unauthorized access, the creation of inauthentic accounts, or otherwise;
You may not use Pyro's Site or Services if you are:
  • a child under the age of 18. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information regarding children's privacy.

Unlimited Storage Policy
Servers are provided with a baseline amount of storage necessary to run the server. We do not typically limit the amount of storage you can use, but we reserve the right to limit the amount of storage you can use if we determine that your storage usage is excessive. Excessive use of storage is determined by the effect it has on the performance of the server and the average storage usage of other users. Thus, this policy exists as a method of protecting other users, not as a method of explicitly limiting your storage usage.

Trial Policy
We offer a 24-hour trial period for all of our paid Minecraft services. If you have previously used a trial period, you are not eligible for another trial period. We reserve the right to limit the number of trial periods you can use if we determine that you are abusing the trial period system.

Refunds and Cancellations
We offer a 24-hour refund period for all of our paid services. You may email us at [email protected], or create a ticket within the Discord server (accessible via the management panel) to request a refund. We reserve the right to limit the number of refunds you can request if we determine that you are abusing the refund system or if we determine that you are not using the Services in good faith. You can also cancel your services via the same methods.

Promotions Policy
We may offer promotions from time to time. We reserve the right to limit the number of promotions you can use. Pyro cannot guarantee that promotions will be available at any given time.
