1. Services

Cattledog Gaming provides hosting services for dedicated game servers. Hosting services may not be used for any other purpose. Cattledog Gaming retains the right to terminate the Service if it determines at its sole discretion that its services are being used for anything but the intended purpose.

We host dedicated game servers built by others ("Game Developers"). We do not make any gurantees on the quality of software, nor do we gurantee any support. Sometimes, updates to game servers contain software bugs which degrade the quality of service provided. We will make every attempt to work with the Game Developers to quickly patch the game servers, however, we are not responsible for any damages that result from faulty software from the Game Developers.

Service will continue to be renewed until terminated. You must cancel your service before the next billing cycle to avoid being charged for the next cycle.

You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase a subscription. If you are under the age of 18, parental or legal guardian consent is required.

Some games require your acceptance of other licenses or agreements to use. Use of those servers implies agrement.

Some games may allow you to host and redistribute certain copyrighted works, such as mods or maps. You agree that you have permission to redistribute these works by doing so.

2. Billing

Each game server is treated as a separate subscription. Each billing cycle, you will be charged the subscription fee plus any applicable fees and taxes. Subscription fees are determined based on the game server, amount of resources, and location. By navigating to the game server page, you will find the option to cancel.

We may use a third party to process payment and subscription invoicing.

You may cancel your subscription at any time for no charge. We will continue to run your game server through the end of the billing period, except if other parts of this agreement are breached that warrant immediate termination of service. We do not offer prorations and immediate terminations.

Payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used subscriptions.

We may provide refunds or credits at our sole discretion, for any reason, at any time. Such refunds or credits do not imply any policy or agreement, nor do they imply similar refund or credits for similar circumstances in the future.

We may at any time decide to change the subscription fee. We will provide notice to you by email at least 14 days before any price changes come into effect.
