Terms of Service

Last updated 2026-06-10

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the loothost managed Minecraft hosting service (the “Service”), operated by Davos Dev LLC (“loothost”, “we”, “us”). By creating an account, purchasing a plan, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

loothost provides managed hosting for Minecraft: Java Edition servers. We provision, run, and maintain server instances on our infrastructure on your behalf. You are responsible for the content, configuration, and conduct of the worlds and communities you run on the Service.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be able to form a binding contract to use the Service. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account, and for notifying us promptly of any unauthorized use.

3. Plans

The Service is offered in five plans: Starter, Craft, Modded, Modded XL, and Community. These differ in allocated memory, storage, and suitable player counts. Plan specifications are described at checkout and may be adjusted over time for new purchases.

4. Billing, renewal, and cancellation

  • Payment. Subscriptions are billed in advance through our payment processor, Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges to your payment method.
  • Term and renewal. You may choose monthly or annual billing. Annual billing is priced at ten (10) times the monthly rate (i.e., two months’ savings). Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate until cancelled.
  • Cancellation. You may cancel at any time. On cancellation your server is suspended (its world data preserved) and then permanently deleted after a 30-day grace period. Resubscribing within the grace period restores the server.
  • Plan changes. You may upgrade to a larger plan at any time. Customer-initiated downgrades are not supported; contact us if your needs change.
  • Refunds. Your first purchase on the Service comes with a 72-hour, no-questions-asked refund: tell us within 72 hours of that first charge and we will refund it in full. Beyond that window: monthly subscriptions may be cancelled at any time and the Service continues through the end of the period you have paid for, but fees already paid are not refunded or prorated; annual subscriptions may be cancelled and refunded on a prorated basis within fourteen (14) days of the annual charge, and after that window annual refund requests are considered case by case. Where downtime or a service failure we caused materially affects your Service, we may offer credits or refunds as an accommodation, at our discretion. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable rights you have under applicable law.
  • Taxes. Stated prices may exclude applicable taxes, which are your responsibility.

5. Acceptable use

Your use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. We may suspend or terminate the Service for violations, as described there and in Section 9.

6. Your content, backups, and data

You retain ownership of the world data, configuration, and other content you store on the Service (“Your Content”). You grant us the limited rights necessary to host, back up, and operate the Service on your behalf. We take backups of server data as part of operating the Service. If your subscription is cancelled or lapses, your server is suspended immediately, and its world data and backups are retained for thirty (30) days from the cancellation or lapse, after which they are permanently deleted. Requests to export or delete Your Content are honored within thirty (30) days. Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of any data that is important to you.

7. Third-party terms (Minecraft)

Minecraft is a product of Mojang Synergies AB and Microsoft. loothost is an independent hosting provider and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Mojang or Microsoft. Your use of Minecraft on the Service must comply with the Minecraft End User License Agreement and applicable Microsoft terms.

8. Service availability; disclaimer of warranties

We work to keep the Service available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The Service may be affected by maintenance, third-party providers, or events beyond our control. The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, if necessary to protect the Service or other customers, or as otherwise permitted by law. On termination, your right to use the Service ceases and your server and data may be deleted following the grace period described in Section 4.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, loothost and Davos Dev LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

11. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless loothost and Davos Dev LLC, and our officers, employees, and contractors, from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) Your Content and the worlds, communities, and conduct you host on the Service, including any claim that they infringe the rights of a third party or violate applicable law; (c) your violation of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party. We may, at our own expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

12. General provisions

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Acceptable Use Policy and the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
  • Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
  • Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision.
  • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
  • Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including network or power failures, acts of third-party providers, natural disasters, or acts of government.
  • Electronic communications. By using the Service you consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
  • Survival. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including Your content and data (Section 6), the disclaimer of warranties (Section 8), Limitation of liability (Section 10), Indemnification (Section 11), and Governing law (Section 13), survive termination of these Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by email. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
