Need clarification on TOS

Post by Rone »

It would be breaking the TOS to sell gameservers hosted on my vds to friends right?

The closest rule I could find in the tos is this line.
Use the webhosting to facilitate duplicating any service that Nuclearfallout provides in another capacity
But that's only in the webhosting category. Do virtual dedicated servers also fall under the webhosting category?

Also, would it matter if they paid via in game Team Fortress items such as keys and hats?
As I've got a friend that occasionally asks me to rent him a Team Fortress server or voice server. He doesn't have a paypal so he buys steam gift cards and then buys tf2 keys to give to me.

Figured now that I own a vds it would a better idea to host it on that.

On a VDS, that line does not apply.

If you accept donations or payments outside of our system, we do not regulate those.

Do you mean a game control panel or NFO's game control panel?
Not a NFO employee

A panel that controls the servers on my vds.

So, a game control panel.

I don't think that it would be a problem for you to do that, but if you are not sure, please email us. We handle TOS exception requests through email on a case-by-case basis.

I would get a warning before any action is taken if nfo does deem it unruly, correct?

Yes, under most conditions a warning is our first step.
