Customers requiring guaranteed performance levels, specialized infrastructure, or enterprise-grade service guarantees are responsible for selecting services appropriate to those requirements prior to purchase.
Customers acknowledge that certain services may utilize specific infrastructure architectures including but not limited to:
• HDD-based storage arrays
• RAID storage configurations (including RAID5 or similar configurations)
• Shared node resources
• Performance-balanced storage systems
These infrastructure designs are part of the service offering and may impact performance characteristics including latency, I/O throughput, or workload suitability.
Such infrastructure design choices do not constitute grounds for refunds, credits, or service adjustments
IMPORTANT STORAGE VPS DISCLOSURES
Customers acknowledge and agree that the following disclosures are material terms of the Storage VPS service offering and form a fundamental part of the agreement between the customer and the provider.
IMPORTANT: Storage VPS services are specialized bulk storage products and are not designed, marketed, sold, represented, or intended to provide SSD-class, NVMe-class, database-class, enterprise transactional, low-latency, high-random-I/O, or high-IOPS storage performance.
By purchasing, renewing, upgrading, transferring, using, or continuing to use any Storage VPS service, the customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that Storage VPS services are designed primarily for storage capacity, backup storage, archives, file repositories, media storage, large file transfers, disaster recovery storage, and other storage-oriented workloads.
Storage VPS services may utilize traditional mechanical hard disk drives (HDDs), spinning disk storage devices, RAID-based storage systems, parity-based storage systems, capacity-optimized storage systems, and other storage architectures where storage capacity, redundancy, and reliability are prioritized over random I/O performance.
Storage VPS services are intended for workloads including but not limited to:
Storage VPS services are not intended for:
Customers whose workloads require SSD-class performance, NVMe-class performance, high IOPS performance, low latency performance, high random read performance, high random write performance, database-class performance, virtualization platform performance, transactional storage performance, or similar performance-sensitive characteristics acknowledge and agree that Storage VPS services are specifically unsuitable for such workloads.
Customers further acknowledge and agree that if their intended workload requires any of the foregoing performance characteristics, they will not purchase a Storage VPS service and will instead obtain a service specifically designed for those requirements.
By ordering a Storage VPS service, the customer expressly represents, warrants, and acknowledges that their intended workload does not require SSD-class performance, NVMe-class performance, high random I/O performance, database-class performance, low latency performance, or similar performance-sensitive characteristics, and that they have independently determined that a Storage VPS service is appropriate for their intended use.
If a customer nevertheless purchases a Storage VPS service despite requiring such performance characteristics, the customer does so entirely at their own risk and assumes full responsibility for that purchasing decision.
Customers acknowledge and agree that HDD-based RAID storage systems may exhibit significantly lower random read performance, random write performance, IOPS performance, latency performance, and benchmark results than SSD or NVMe-based systems.
Customers further acknowledge that synthetic benchmark results, including but not limited to fio, CrystalDiskMark, dd, hdparm, IOPS tests, random read tests, random write tests, 4K random tests, latency tests, or similar benchmarking methods, are not representative of the intended purpose of Storage VPS services and shall not constitute evidence of service failure, service deficiency, false advertising, misrepresentation, or grounds for refunds, credits, chargebacks, service cancellations, disputes, complaints, or compensation.
Customers expressly acknowledge and agree that Storage VPS services may experience significant fluctuations in storage performance, throughput, latency, response times, I/O wait times, benchmark results, transfer speeds, queue depths, and other storage-related metrics.
Customers understand and accept that storage performance on HDD-based RAID storage systems may vary substantially over time due to factors including, but not limited to:
Customers acknowledge that storage performance may improve, degrade, fluctuate, vary, spike, stall, recover, or otherwise change over time without constituting a service failure or service deficiency.
Customers further acknowledge that transfer speeds, write speeds, read speeds, latency measurements, I/O wait times, benchmark results, and overall storage responsiveness may vary significantly from one workload, time period, day, week, month, or storage node to another.
No representation, warranty, or guarantee is made regarding minimum transfer speeds, minimum write speeds, minimum read speeds, maximum latency values, maximum I/O wait percentages, benchmark consistency, storage responsiveness, or performance stability on Storage VPS services.
Customers expressly acknowledge that temporary or prolonged fluctuations in storage performance are normal characteristics of HDD-based RAID storage platforms and shall not constitute grounds for refunds, credits, cancellations, chargebacks, compensation, service deficiency claims, or misrepresentation claims.
Storage VPS services are sold as storage-oriented services and not as performance-oriented services.
Customers are solely responsible for determining whether a Storage VPS service is appropriate for their intended workload before purchasing the service.
By ordering a Storage VPS service, the customer expressly represents that they have independently determined that the service is suitable for their intended workload and accepts the architectural limitations and performance characteristics associated with HDD-based RAID storage platforms.
Customers expressly acknowledge that they have not been promised SSD performance, NVMe performance, enterprise storage performance, database-class performance, specific benchmark results, specific IOPS levels, specific latency measurements, specific random read performance, or specific random write performance.
Claims that a customer was unaware of, surprised by, dissatisfied with, caught off guard by, or did not anticipate the normal performance characteristics of HDD-based RAID storage systems shall not constitute evidence of service failure, service deficiency, false advertising, misrepresentation, defective service delivery, or entitlement to refunds, credits, compensation, disputes, chargebacks, or cancellations.
Under no circumstances shall a customer’s workload requirements, performance expectations, benchmark results, storage architecture preferences, dissatisfaction with HDD-based storage performance, dissatisfaction with RAID-based storage performance, or determination that the service is unsuitable for their intended workload constitute grounds for refunds, credits, chargebacks, cancellations, compensation, service deficiency claims, false advertising claims, misrepresentation claims, or any similar claim.
Customers expressly acknowledge and agree that they will not purchase a Storage VPS service with the expectation of SSD-class, NVMe-class, database-class, low-latency, high-random-I/O, or similar performance characteristics and later seek refunds, credits, cancellations, disputes, chargebacks, or compensation because the service performs consistently with its disclosed HDD-based RAID storage architecture and intended design.
If a customer’s requirements change and they determine that their workload requires SSD-class performance, NVMe-class performance, database-class performance, low-latency performance, high random I/O performance, or similar performance characteristics, the customer agrees that the appropriate remedy is to purchase a different service class designed for those requirements rather than asserting that the Storage VPS service is defective, improperly delivered, or unsuitable for its intended purpose.
No representation, warranty, or guarantee is made regarding any specific benchmark result, IOPS level, random read performance, random write performance, latency measurement, synthetic benchmark score, or storage benchmark outcome on any Storage VPS service.
IMPORTANT: Storage VPS services may utilize traditional mechanical hard disk drives (HDDs), spinning disk storage devices, RAID-based storage arrays, and other storage technologies which are inherently subject to hardware failure, degradation, rebuild events, controller failures, firmware issues, media corruption, and other risks associated with data storage.
While reasonable efforts may be made to maintain reliable storage infrastructure and utilize redundancy technologies such as RAID, customers expressly acknowledge and agree that no storage platform can guarantee against data loss, data corruption, data inaccessibility, service interruptions, hardware failures, software failures, configuration errors, human error, malicious activity, natural disasters, force majeure events, or other circumstances that may result in partial or complete loss of customer data.
Customers expressly acknowledge that RAID is a redundancy technology and is not a backup solution.
Customers are solely and exclusively responsible for maintaining independent backups of all data stored on the service.
Customers acknowledge that no storage platform can guarantee against data loss, corruption, or inaccessibility and agree to maintain backup procedures sufficient to protect their own data, operations, and business interests.
Customers acknowledge and accept that hard disk drives, storage arrays, RAID systems, controllers, file systems, operating systems, virtualization platforms, and supporting infrastructure may fail without warning and may result in partial or complete loss of customer data.
No guarantee is made regarding the preservation, recoverability, availability, integrity, accessibility, or restorability of customer data under any circumstances.
Customers expressly assume all risk associated with storing data on Storage VPS services and acknowledge that the possibility of data loss is an inherent risk of any storage service.
Data loss, file corruption, storage corruption, array failures, RAID rebuild failures, controller failures, disk failures, storage degradation, file system corruption, accidental deletion, hardware malfunctions, software defects, or similar events shall not constitute grounds for refunds, credits, compensation, chargebacks, disputes, claims, or liability.
By purchasing, renewing, upgrading, transferring, using, or continuing to use a Storage VPS service, the customer expressly acknowledges and accepts the risks associated with HDD-based storage platforms and agrees to maintain independent backups sufficient to protect their own interests.
