# 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. --- ## Questions? Reach the admin through the SSO manager or through the associated communication channels (Discord, Signal, etc.).
