Terms of Service

Last updated: June 2026

Welcome to Theta42. By creating an account and using any services on this system, you agree to the following terms. Please read them carefully — they're short and written in plain English.

1. Who This Applies To

These terms apply to anyone with an account on Theta42 systems, including but not limited to: SSH access, Emby, Gitea, self-managed containers or VMs, Proxmox, and any other services accessible with your credentials.

2. Acceptable Use

Be respectful. Treat other users and the admin with respect. Harassment, abuse, or intentionally disrupting other users' work is not tolerated.
Do no harm. Do not attempt to access, modify, damage, or disrupt any system, service, or data you are not explicitly authorized to use — including systems outside this network.
No malicious activity. Do not use your account to run port scans, exploits, denial-of-service attacks, spam campaigns, or any other activity intended to harm others.
No resource abuse. Do not use shared infrastructure for cryptocurrency mining, bulk email, or other activities that consume excessive CPU, memory, disk, or bandwidth without prior approval.

3. Legal Compliance

You agree to comply with all applicable United States federal law and the laws of your current jurisdiction.
Do not store, transmit, access, or distribute any content that is illegal under US law or the laws where you are located.
This includes but is not limited to: pirated software, copyrighted content you do not have rights to, and any material that is illegal in your jurisdiction.

4. Credential Security

Do not share your password, SSH keys, or any other credentials with anyone — including the admin (who will never ask for your password).
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
If you suspect your account has been compromised, notify the admin immediately and change your password.

5. Self-Managed Resources

Users with access to containers, virtual machines, or Proxmox agree to additional responsibilities:

You are fully responsible for everything you run inside your allocated resources.
Keep your systems patched and reasonably secured. A compromised VM on the network is everyone's problem.
Do not use your allocation to attack, scan, or probe other systems — on this network or anywhere else.
Resource abuse (running workloads that harm shared infrastructure or network performance) may result in immediate suspension of your allocation.
Do not expose services to the internet without coordinating with the admin.

6. Privacy

Your personal data (name, email address, phone number) is stored solely to operate this service. It will not be sold, rented, or shared with third parties.
The admin reserves the right to inspect activity logs, files, running processes, and system usage on shared infrastructure at any time — for security purposes, incident investigation, or to verify compliance with these terms.
You have no expectation of privacy on systems, storage, or network traffic hosted on this infrastructure.

7. Account Termination

Violation of any of these terms may result in immediate account suspension or deletion without prior notice.
The admin reserves sole discretion to terminate access for any reason.

8. Changes to This Agreement

This agreement may be updated at any time. The current version is always available at /tos. Continued use of the services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
