Offshore Hosting Terms

These terms explain what HostingTom offshore hosting means and the legal and operational limits of offshore infrastructure.

1. Meaning

“Offshore hosting” means hosting provided from a jurisdiction different from the Customer’s home jurisdiction or from a location marketed for particular privacy, content or network characteristics. It does not mean that the Customer or HostingTom is exempt from applicable law.

2. Legal Compliance

Customers must comply with laws applicable to them, their content and the server location. HostingTom will respond to binding court orders, competent-authority requests and enforceable upstream-provider requirements.

3. Copyright and Complaints

HostingTom does not guarantee that any location will ignore DMCA-style notices, copyright complaints or legal takedown demands. We assess complaints under applicable law, our AUP, our IP & Abuse Policy and the policies of the relevant infrastructure provider.

4. Location Changes

Where necessary because of upstream policy, legal risk, capacity or infrastructure changes, HostingTom may offer migration to another location. Location-specific features can change when a datacenter changes its policy.

5. Prohibited Uses

Offshore services may not be used for child exploitation, fraud, phishing, malware, botnets, extortion, non-consensual sexual imagery, attacks or other prohibited conduct under the AUP.
