2. Definitions
Services – web hosting services, email services, virtual private server (VPS) rentals, and domain name registration brokerage provided via the noronetwork.cloud website.
Customer – a natural or legal person who has entered into a service agreement for the provision of Services with the Provider.
Consumer – a natural person who, when concluding and performing a contract, does not act within the scope of their business activity, employment, or profession.
Contract – the agreement for the provision of Services concluded between the Provider and the Customer, of which these GTC form an integral part.
Customer Content – any data, files, websites, emails, software, and other information that the Customer stores, operates, or transmits through the Services.
3. Conclusion of the Contract
3.1. The Contract is formed upon confirmation of the Customer’s order by the Provider (usually via email) or by the provisioning of the ordered Service, whichever occurs earlier. For paid Services, the Contract becomes effective only upon payment of the initial Service price based on the request for payment (proforma invoice); the Provider is not obliged to provision the Service before the payment is credited to their account.
3.2. By ordering a Service, the Customer confirms that they have familiarized themselves with these GTC and the Privacy Policy and agree to them.
3.3. The Contract is concluded for the duration specified in the order (billing period). If the Service is not cancelled before the expiration of the period, it is automatically extended for an additional period of the same duration.
3.4. The Provider is entitled to reject an order without giving a reason, particularly if they have doubts regarding the identity of the Customer or the intended purpose of using the Service.
4. Description of Services
4.1. Web Hosting – the allocation of space and technical means for the operation of websites and databases on the Provider’s servers within the parameters of the ordered package variant.
4.2. Email Services – the operation of email inboxes within the parameters of the ordered package variant.
4.3. VPS – the lease of a virtual private server with guaranteed parameters (CPU, RAM, disk space) according to the ordered variant. The operating system and software of the VPS are managed by the Customer; the Provider is solely responsible for the availability of the virtualization platform and network connectivity. The Customer is fully responsible for the security, updates, and configuration of the system within the VPS.
4.4. Domain Registration – the Provider arranges domain name registration through the registrar Gransy s.r.o. (subreg.cz). Unless agreed otherwise between the Customer and the Provider, the domain is registered with the Provider listed as the holder, who holds and manages it exclusively for the benefit of the Customer for the duration of the Contract. The registration and management of the domain are also governed by the rules of the respective registry and registrar, which take precedence over these GTC. The Provider is not responsible for the decisions of the registry or registrar, nor for any disputes regarding domain names.
4.4.1. The choice of domain name is exclusively the responsibility of the Customer. The Customer declares that the domain name chosen by them does not infringe upon the rights of third parties (particularly trademark rights and trade names). If a third-party claim is asserted against the Provider as the domain holder, or if domain proceedings (including alternative domain dispute resolution) are conducted against them, or if a penalty is imposed on them due to the domain name chosen by the Customer or the content operated by the Customer on the domain, the Customer shall indemnify the Provider for all damage and costs thus incurred; in such a case, the Provider is entitled to transfer, block, or surrender the domain in accordance with the decision of the relevant authority or dispute resolution rules.
4.4.1a. Procedure for Third-Party Claims: If a third party asserts a claim to a domain held by the Provider for the benefit of the Customer, the Provider shall immediately inform the Customer at their contact email. The Customer is obliged to request the transfer of the domain to themselves as the holder within 3 business days from the sending of the notification and provide the cooperation necessary for the transfer. If they fail to do so or are unreachable at the specified contacts, it is deemed that they have waived their rights to the domain, and the Provider is entitled to transfer the domain to the third party, settle the dispute, or otherwise dispose of the domain at their own discretion, without the Customer having any claim to compensation.
4.4.2. Right to Domain Transfer: The Customer has the right to request the transfer of the domain to themselves as the holder or to another registrar at any time. The Provider will execute the transfer without undue delay after all due obligations of the Customer have been settled; any transfer fee is charged according to the price list. Upon termination of the Contract, the Provider will transfer the domain under the same conditions upon the Customer’s request.
4.4.3. The Provider is not obliged to renew a domain registration if the Customer has not paid for the renewal at least 3 days prior to the expiration date. The Provider shall warn the Customer of the upcoming expiration in advance via email; the Customer is responsible for the loss of the domain due to failure to pay for the renewal.
4.5. The current parameters and prices of individual variants of the Services are listed on the noronetwork.cloud website and form part of the Contract.
5. Prices and Payment Conditions
5.1. The prices of the Services are listed in the price list on the Provider’s website. The prices are final. The Provider is not a VAT payer.
5.2. Services are paid in advance for the ordered billing period based on an invoice (request for payment) with a maturity of 14 days for monthly payments and 30 days for annual payments.
5.3. If the Customer fails to pay the price of the Service even within 7 days after the due date, the Provider is entitled to suspend (deactivate) the Service. If payment is not received even within 30 days after the due date, the Provider is entitled to withdraw from the Contract, cancel the Service, and permanently delete the Customer’s data. The Provider shall warn the Customer of the impending deletion in advance via email.
5.4. Suspension of the Service due to non-payment does not entitle the Customer to a refund of the price or to compensation for damages.
5.5. In the event of default by the Customer on payment, the Provider is entitled to demand late interest at the statutory rate (for Customers who are not Consumers, according to the Commercial Code; for Consumers, according to the Civil Code) and compensation for purposefully incurred costs associated with debt collection.
5.6. The Provider is entitled to unilaterally modify the price list. A price change will apply to existing Contracts only from the subsequent billing period; the Provider shall inform the Customer about it at least 30 days in advance. If the Customer does not agree with the change, they may terminate the Contract as of the end of the current period.
6. Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
6.1. The Customer must not, through the Services, in particular:
a) store, make available, or distribute content that is contrary to the legal order of the Slovak Republic or the European Union (especially copyright-infringing content, extremist material, material depicting child abuse, or content displaying the elements of a criminal offense);
b) send unsolicited mail (spam) or operate services for its distribution;
c) operate phishing, distribute malicious software, botnets, or command and control (C2) servers for malicious software;
d) perform attacks on other systems (DoS/DDoS, port scanning, password cracking) or attempt to do so;
e) disrupt the security or integrity of the infrastructure of the Provider or third parties;
f) mine cryptocurrencies without the prior written consent of the Provider;
g) use the Services in a manner that unreasonably burdens shared resources (for web hosting and email) and restricts other customers;
h) for web hosting and email services, utilize disk space for storage, archiving, or backing up data that is unrelated to the operation of the website or email inbox (the space is not intended as a data storage repository);
i) resell the Services to third parties without the written consent of the Provider;
j) store, make available, or distribute pornographic or erotic content, even if such content is otherwise compliant with legal regulations;
k) operate or promote gambling, betting, online casinos, or lotteries, even if the Customer possesses the relevant license under Act No. 30/2019 Coll. on Gambling.
6.2. In the event of a breach of Section 6.1, the Provider is entitled, depending on the severity, to: request the Customer to remedy the situation, immediately suspend the affected Service, remove the unlawful content, or withdraw from the Contract with immediate effect, without the Customer having a right to a refund of the price. In case of suspicion of a criminal offense, the Provider will report the matter to law enforcement authorities.
6.3. The Provider is entitled to immediately suspend the Service also if it is necessary to avert damage to the infrastructure, protect other customers, or if required by a decision of a court or public authority.
7. Liability for Content
7.1. The Customer is solely responsible for the Customer Content. The Provider is an information society service provider and, in accordance with Act No. 22/2004 Coll. on Electronic Commerce and Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), is not liable for the stored information, and has no obligation to monitor it or actively seek illegal content.
7.2. If the Provider obtains credible knowledge of the illegality of the Customer Content (especially based on a notification or a decision of a public authority), they shall immediately disable access to it or remove it; they will inform the Customer about this unless prohibited by law or an instruction from a public authority.
7.2.1. Reporting Illegal Content: Notices of allegedly illegal content pursuant to Art. 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act) can be sent to the email address abuse@noronetwork.cloud, which also serves as the Provider’s single point of contact pursuant to Articles 11 and 12 of the said Regulation (communication is possible in Slovak and English). The notice must contain a justification, the exact location of the content (URL), the name and email of the notifier (except for notices regarding offenses involving sexual abuse), and a statement of good faith regarding the accuracy of the notice.
7.3. The Customer undertakes to indemnify the Provider for all damage (including fines, penalties, and legal representation costs) incurred by the Provider as a result of a breach of these GTC or legal regulations by the Customer or by persons whom the Customer allowed to use the Services.
8. Service Availability, Maintenance, and Backups
8.1. The Provider will exert professionally reasonable efforts to ensure continuous availability of the Services. The Provider does not guarantee a specific service level agreement (SLA) unless agreed otherwise in writing for the given Service. The Provider publishes the current status of the Services, ongoing outages, and planned maintenance on the status page status.noronetwork.sk; the data of the status page is decisive for assessing the duration of an outage under Section 8.4.
8.2. The Provider is entitled to temporarily interrupt the provision of Services for reasons of planned maintenance; this also applies to maintenance carried out by the Provider’s suppliers (especially the data center operator), the execution of which the Provider cannot prevent. Planned maintenance with an expected outage is announced in advance on the status page or via email, usually at least 2 business days in advance, or immediately after the Provider learns of the supplier’s maintenance. Unplanned outages are resolved without undue delay. Planned maintenance is not considered an outage under Section 8.4.
8.3. The Provider performs data backups for the purpose of operational recovery following a disaster on their own infrastructure. Backups are not a guaranteed component of the Service — the Customer is obliged to continuously secure their own backups of their data. The Provider is not responsible for any loss of data that the Customer did not back up themselves. VPS instances are not backed up; backing them up is entirely the responsibility of the Customer.
8.4. For a Service outage caused by the Provider that lasts continuously for more than 4 hours, the Customer is entitled to a proportional discount on the price of the Service corresponding to the length of the outage (calculated per commenced hour), or, at the Provider’s discretion, to a free extension of the Service by one day for each such outage. The claim must be asserted via email within 3 months of the outage, otherwise it expires. By providing the discount or extension, the Customer’s claims arising from the given outage are settled in full to the extent permitted by legal regulations; the Consumer’s statutory rights regarding liability for defects remain unaffected.
8.5. The Provider is not liable for outages caused by circumstances beyond their control, in particular power outages, outages of upstream connectivity providers, DDoS attacks, natural disasters, or actions taken by public authorities.
9. Limitation of Liability
9.1. The Provider is liable for damage caused by a proven culpable breach of their obligations. The Provider is not liable for lost profits, loss of business opportunities, damage to reputation, or for indirect and consequential damages.
9.2. Total compensation for damage resulting from a single Contract is limited to the amount that the Customer paid for the affected Service during the last 12 months preceding the occurrence of the damage event.
9.3. The limitations under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 do not apply to the extent that they are excluded by mandatory provisions of legal regulations, particularly in the case of damage caused intentionally and in relation to Consumers within the scope of their statutory rights, which cannot be contractually restricted.
9.4. The Provider is not responsible for the functionality, security, and legal compliance of software and applications that the Customer operates themselves within the Services.
10. Rights and Obligations of the Customer
10.1. The Customer is obliged to provide true and up-to-date identification and contact data and to report any changes without delay. Delivery to the last provided email address is considered proper delivery.
10.2. The Customer is obliged to protect their access credentials. The Customer is responsible for acts performed after logging in with the Customer’s access credentials. The Customer is obliged to immediately notify the Provider of any suspicion of unauthorized use of access credentials.
10.3. If the Customer processes personal data of third parties through the Services, they are a data controller in relation to them under the GDPR and are obliged to enter into a data processing agreement (Article 28 GDPR) with the Provider, which forms part of the Provider’s contractual documentation.
11. Duration and Termination of the Contract
11.1. The Customer may terminate the Contract at any time as of the end of the current billing period by notifying the Provider (an email from the Customer’s contact address is sufficient). The prepaid period is non-refundable unless these GTC or the law provide otherwise.
11.2. The Provider may terminate the Contract without giving a reason with a 30-day notice period; in such a case, they will refund the Customer a proportional part of the price for the unutilized period.
11.3. The Provider may withdraw from the Contract with immediate effect in the cases specified in Sections 5.3 and 6.2.
11.4. Upon termination of the Contract, the Provider will delete the Customer’s data after 14 days from the termination of the Contract, unless required otherwise by law. The export of data before the termination of the Contract is the responsibility of the Customer.
12. Special Provisions for Consumers
12.1. Withdrawal from the Contract: A Consumer has the right to withdraw from a distance contract without giving a reason within 14 days from the conclusion of the Contract by sending a notice to the Provider’s contact email (the template form in the appendix to these GTC may be used).
12.2. By ordering a Service with the provision starting before the expiration of the withdrawal period, the Consumer explicitly requests the commencement of the provision of the Service before the expiration of the withdrawal period. If the Consumer withdraws from the Contract in such a case, they are obliged to pay the Provider the price for the performance actually provided up to the date of delivery of the withdrawal. The Consumer acknowledges that by the full provision of the Service, they lose the right to withdraw.
12.3. Domain registration is performed at the explicit request of the Consumer immediately after payment; at the moment of domain registration, the service is fully provided and the right to withdraw in relation to it expires. Registry fees are non-refundable.
12.4. Complaints: A Consumer may submit complaints regarding defects in the Service to the Provider’s contact email. The Provider will decide on the complaint and inform the Consumer no later than 30 days from its submission.
12.5. Alternative Dispute Resolution: If a Consumer is not satisfied with the handling of a complaint or believes that the Provider has violated their rights, they may approach the Provider with a request for remedy. If the Provider rejects the request or fails to respond to it within 30 days, the Consumer has the right to submit a proposal to initiate an alternative dispute resolution procedure with an alternative dispute resolution entity pursuant to Act No. 391/2015 Coll.; the competent entity is the Slovak Trade Inspection (www.soi.sk) or another entity registered in the list maintained by the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic.
13. Final Provisions
13.1. Legal relations between the Provider and the Customer are governed by the legal order of the Slovak Republic; if the Customer is not a Consumer, they are governed by the Commercial Code.
13.2. The Provider is entitled to unilaterally modify these GTC. They will notify Customers of a change via email or on the website at least 30 days prior to its effectiveness. If the Customer does not agree with the change, they have the right to terminate the Contract as of the effective date of the change; otherwise, it is deemed that they agree with the change.
13.3. The invalidity of any provision of the GTC does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
13.4. These GTC come into effect on July 4, 2026.
