In one month you may use a extra 5% of your quota, however continued heavy usage of this will require an upgrade or extra usage fees.

The parties expressly recognize that, where Royal Clouds is acting solely as Customer’s Host, Royal Clouds is not engaged in, and is not actively soliciting, interstate or international commerce for said Customer. Where Royal Clouds is a named party to any type of dispute or litigation involving any acts by Customer that affect out-of-state persons or entities, Customer agrees that it shall indemnify, hold Royal Clouds harmless, defend Royal Clouds exhaustively (including all legal cost(s), and challenge the jurisdiction of out of state authorities over Royal Clouds).

Your refund rights will be voided if you use more than 10% of your package’s bandwidth quota. Your service will be suspended if it receives and or sends any DDoS attack. Service activation or termination after the suspension will be in our sole discretion.
