WEDOS Hosting, Cybersecurity and Cloud Services Terms & Conditions

These terms form part of the General Terms and Conditions and govern hosting, cybersecurity and cloud services. The official legally binding version is in Czech. This English version is provided for convenience only.

Basic Ts&Cs

These WEDOS Hosting, Cybersecurity and Cloud Service Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as „HCCS Terms and Conditions“) form part of the „General Terms of Service of WEDOS Internet, a.s.“ (hereinafter referred to as „GTCs“).
The use of these HCCS Terms and Conditions shall prevail over the use of the GTCs.
HCCS includes the following services: web hosting (includes NoLimit, Miniweb, or specialized CMS hostings), mail hosting, WEDOS WebSite, WMS service, WEDOS Global service, WEDOS Microservices service, server hosting (virtual and dedicated servers), WEDOS Disk services. The cloud services include, in particular, the WEDOS CD service and the WEDOS Cloud service. The boundaries between hosting and cloud services can intersect. Any service offered is provided to the extent according to the selected variant of the service based on the current offer of the Provider.
Details, technical specifications and specific restrictions of individual types of services are always listed on the Provider’s website.
Web hosting is the provision of space on the Provider’s web servers for the operation of WWW pages on a level 2 or level 3 domain, or with the support of e-mail boxes (so-called email hosting) for the relevant domain and possibly with the support of databases. This primarily refers to shared web hosting and sharing resources with multiple users simultaneously. This service includes, for example, various versions of the NoLimit service, the NoLImit Extra service, as well as Miniweb, or various specialized CMS hosting services).
Email hosting is the provision of a mailbox service for a relevant 2nd or 3rd level domain. Email hosting can be ordered completely separately or as part of one of the services listed here.
The WEDOS WMS (Web hosting Managed Server) service is a special form of web hosting, which is not shared web hosting, but a web hosting service with reserved parameters for each customer. The service may include email hosting.
The WEDOS WebSite service is a service that includes a limited version of web hosting (with limited parameters) and the rental of an online website editor, which is used for easy creation, editing and management of simple web pages. The Website Editor contains various ready-made templates, blocks and components that Customers can use to create their own websites.
The WEDOS Global service is a set of services using so-called anycast solutions, where individual sub-services are repeatedly distributed around the world in different numbers of copies. The service is very dynamic and the geographical distribution of the service can vary greatly and change dynamically over time. The service includes individual sub-services based on anycast technology. These include DNS, traffic filtering, IDS / IPS protection, DDoS protection, proxy servers, CDN, VPN. The scope of these services can be dynamically changed over time according to the current offer of the Provider. The Customer is able to only choose certain services that they are interested in.
The WEDOS MicroServices service is a rental service that is based on the kubernetes service or similar. It is primarily a lease of various services according to the current offer of the Provider. The scope of these services can be dynamically changed over time according to the current offer of the Provider. The Customer is able to only choose certain services that they are interested in.
The Virtual Servers service is the rental of virtual servers. Virtual servers mean the operation of a server in a virtualization environment, where part of the Provider’s server is reserved for running the Customer’s virtual server.
The Dedicated Servers service is the rental of a physical – dedicated server for a specific Customer.
The WEDOS Cloud service is a cloud service that includes the rental of a set of virtual servers that are managed by the Customer and are reserved for the running of the Customer’s services. The Customer is allowed to create their own virtual environment, including virtual servers, virtual networks, their own virtual data centers and their combinations.
The WEDOS Disk service is the rental of disk space on the Provider’s servers for the purpose of private storage of files, especially backup ones.
The WEDOS CD service is the rental of a complex of services based on NextCloud technology and possibly other related or similar technologies.

The contractual relationship continues even after the Customer moves their applications, web pages and other data to another provider and ceases to use the Provider’s services. In such a case, the Customer must properly terminate the service by filling out the notice form on the Customer Administration website or by filling out the contact form which they are obliged to properly authorize.
Access data (login names and passwords) are sent to the Customer’s e-mail address specified for the service in the customer data when setting up the service. If the password is forgotten, it is not possible to send the password to the Customer again, because the Provider does not register it in their databases for security reasons. In this case, the Customer must set a new password on the Customer Administration website or by sending an authorized request using the contact form.
The Provider declares that they comply with all necessary legal regulations for the operation of the offered services. The Provider declares that they are regularly inspected by the relevant state administration bodies. The Provider declares that regular audits are performed in various forms (eg security, ISO, financial).

Web Hosting

Web hosting includes the operation of WWW pages for a level 2 or level 3 domain on the Provider’s server. The Customer has a reserved space on the WWW server, on which it is possible to place their WWW pages. The server runs on the Linux operating system, it is possible to use various technologies – such as PHP, depending on the selected service, or its variants. The size of the selected space varies depending on the variant selected by the Customer.
Depending on the chosen variant of the service, web hosting may also include the operation of e-mail services (email hosting) for the relevant domain.
Web hosting, depending on the chosen variant of the service, may also include the possibility to order one or more databases. Their number and type are not limited, but the total occupied space is limited. The parameters may differ for different variants of the service in accordance with the current offer of services, which is listed on the Provider’s website.
Web hosting services are operated on shared servers, ie on those where services for multiple customers are located at the same time. This can degrade service availability and speed due to higher server utilization by other customers. The Provider does not guarantee the speed of web hosting services. If the Customer has higher requirements, it is recommended to switch to a different variant of hosting services (WMS, WEDOS Cloud, Microservices, virtual or dedicated servers).
The space for WWW pages is unlimited, in some variants. In such a case, however, it may only be used to locate data that does not break the „Exclusion“ section of the General Terms and Conditions. In the event that the Customer purchases a variant of hosting service with unlimited space, only the files that are necessary for the operation of the website and the presentation of data (and there is a link to them from the website) may be stored within the given website.
The web hosting service does not serve as a backup or storage space, but only for the operation of public WWW presentations, the Provider offers other services for backups (for example WEDOS CD or WEDOS Disk). The entire website must be located on and operated from the Provider’s servers; web hosting cannot be used, for example, only as storage for downloadable files. The Provider is entitled to delete files whose location in the website space is not justified in the opinion of the Provider.
In the event of exceeding the limit of occupied space for databases, the Customer is asked by the Provider to correct the situation. The Customer is obliged to reduce the size of the occupied space or to agree on conditions for increasing this space with the Provider. If the Customer continues to exceed the permitted limits, the Provider is entitled to suspend the service.
The Provider reserves the right to operate only those versions of technologies (PHP, MySQL, etc.) that they consider safe and that do not significantly affect the operation of other customers‘ services. In the event that a version can no longer be operated safely, the Provider reserves the right to terminate its further provision. If the Provider offers older versions of technologies for which security and maintenance updates are no longer issued, the Customer is obliged to modify their scripts so that security holes cannot be misused or other customers‘ traffic cannot be restricted.
The Provider reserves the right to limit certain functions of the technologies (PHP, MySQL, etc.) in such a way that security cannot be compromised or the operation of the services of other customers cannot be significantly affected. Such restrictions may be imposed at their discretion whenever necessary, but the Provider must then contact the Customer by email within 24 hours. All restrictions and the current status of the technology configuration can be found by the Customer on the Provider’s website.
The Provider reserves the right to offer new versions of technologies (PHP, MySQL, etc.) only when they deem it appropriate for security and operational reasons and the new version passes sufficient testing by the Provider.

Email Hosting

The above conditions of web hosting shall apply to the email hosting service. Email hosting is a service that includes the operation of a mail server and mailboxes for a selected domain of the Customer. The Customer has a reserved space on the e-mail server, on which the Customer can create individual e-mail boxes and access them using the web interface, or using the POP and IMAP protocols, and can also send e-mails using the SMTP protocol.
The number of e-mail boxes is not limited (for most service variants) (or is limited for selected variants), but the total space occupied by e-mails is limited in accordance with the selected service variant.
Email hosting can be offered and activated separately, but also as a part of other hosting or cloud services, or as an additional service to hosting and cloud services.
The Provider warns that the receipt of e-mails intended for the Customer, or e-mails sent by the Customer to third parties, is not guaranteed in any way due to the nature of the service. Delivery and speed of delivery cannot be guaranteed. The Provider will do their utmost to ensure smooth delivery or receipt of the Customer’s e-mail messages.
In the event of exceeding the occupied space limit for e-mail services, the Customer is not allowed to receive further e-mail messages (messages are rejected by the e-mail server).
The Provider is not responsible for the chosen name for part or all of the e-mail address, both with regard to property rights, violations of laws, violations of good morals, and reduced delivery of e-mail messages due to incompatibilities, errors and filters.

This space and the number of files include everything that the Customer places in the disk space, including any other data and files that are necessary for the operation of the service. If the total space or the maximum number of files is exhausted, the Customer is not allowed to upload additional files.
The WEDOS Disk service is operated on shared servers and disk arrays, ie on those where services for multiple customers are located at the same time. This can reduce the availability and speed of services due to higher utilization of the server or disk arrays by other customers. The Provider does not guarantee the speed of these services.
The Provider only offers general information and instructions on how to connect the disk space to the client’s computer. The configuration of the client part and the solution of possible connection problems that are not caused by the Provider are fully under the control of the Customer.

– all sent e-mail messages must be fully GDRP compliant
For all offered services, the Customer is obliged to provide the Provider, upon request, with information regarding the performed mass distribution:
– how the e-mail addresses of the recipients are obtained and how consent to sending is obtained
– what messages are sent
– how often messages are sent
– in what quantity they are sent (total number, sending speed)
– how the recipients can cancel the subscription
– any additional information as required by the Provider
If the Customer carries out mass distribution of messages, they are obliged to act in such a way as to burden the target e-mail servers as little as possible, eg by spreading the distribution over time in reasonably small batches. It is forbidden to carry out mass distribution in one large batch.
If the Customer sends e-mail messages in violation of these rules or does not provide the Provider with the required information, the Provider is entitled to completely block the sending of e-mail messages from the Customer.

Customer Support

Customer support may be provided for the services to the extent according to the selected variant of the service, or according to the variant of the provided form (and scope) of the purchased support. For some services, customer support is not provided at all, even at an additional cost.
Customer support, depending on the chosen variant, can be provided, for example, through tickets, chat, telephone, e-mail communication or using the contact form on the Provider’s website, or in any other suitable way agreed between the Provider and the Customer.
Support is provided in time for the period specified on the Provider’s website in the description of the relevant service or form (and scope) of paid support, which the Customer chooses and pays for. Outside this period, only technical supervision and troubleshooting is provided.
In the event of a failure or technical problem on the part of the Provider, the technicians intervene immediately during the day or at night (no later than 10 minutes after the problem is detected). Any interventions are carried out in the order determined by the Provider at their own discretion, especially with regard to the number of affected customers.
Requests beyond basic customer support (non-standard technical or business tasks, technical or programmer intervention) are not fulfilled by support staff and are not completed immediately – such requests are passed to technicians or salespeople and are usually processed within 1 working day, but this is not guaranteed and some requests may take longer. The paid technical support service is implemented only in the case of free and available human capacities and by prior agreement and for a pre-agreed payment.
The scope of customer support provided for individual services is always specified in its current form on the Provider’s website.
The response time of customer support is not guaranteed in any way, except in cases of paid guaranteed customer support. The Provider offers various variants of guaranteed customer support, ie variants where the Customer can pay extra for a guarantee of response speed. In the event that the Provider does not comply with the relevant response time, the Customer is entitled to a discount on the monthly fee for this additional service. This offer of guaranteed customer support, with a precisely guaranteed reaction time, is listed in its current form on the Provider’s website.
The Provider reserves the right to choose a suitable employee for communication, if the question or request better corresponds to the job classification of this employee or the original employee is not available.
Any support provided beyond the Provider’s services is only considered a recommended procedure, without guarantee that the problem will be solved. The Customer should also consider the proposed procedure with respect to the software, versions of technology, scripts used, and think about circumstances that the recommended procedure may not consider, especially if the recommended procedure includes a process for editing and deleting data. The Customer is obliged to back up the data to a necessary extent before applying such a procedure.

Logging Customer Requests

All Customer requirements related to an order are recorded and logged in detail.
The Provider logs (records) in detail all requests for setting up, changes of settings or cancellation of services. The Provider does not only log requests from the Customer, but also all steps related to the setting up of services, changes to service settings, or even related to the cancellation of services.
The Provider logs requests and changes not only in the Customer Administration, but in all interfaces related to the operation of all services, especially cloud services, which are logged in separate administrations (for example, cd.wedos.com or openebula.wedos.cloud).
Customer request logs are usually not accessible to Customers, but are only available to the Provider for internal needs or for diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes.
The Provider shall keep all this data for a necessary period, at least 48 hours and at at most for a time in accordance with the relevant legislation, in particular in accordance with the GDPR, depending on the type and nature of the logged records.

Operation Logging

The operation of hosting and cloud services is logged in accordance with legal regulations.
The Provider collects and maintains various logs, which they further analyze and the Customer agrees to this.
The Provider also collects data on network traffic in the form of so-called netflow, which maintains a sample of network traffic, which is still used for various security and traffic analysis purposes.

Time Synchronization

The Provider uses NTP-based time synchronization on all devices and servers.
The time zone used is Central European Time (CET) – UTC +1 or UTC +2 (in the case of summer time). For some services, the Customer is entitled to change the settings according to their own needs.
The Provider is not responsible for any errors related to incorrect setting of the date and time on their devices or errors related to incorrect settings of the date and time in the Customer’s applications.

Billing and Payments

The operation of hosting services is paid for in the form of a subscription according to the current price list, which is published on the Provider’s website. The choice of subscription length varies from service to service, but monthly or annual subscriptions are most common.
After the Customer has ordered the service, the Provider will issue a proforma invoice to the Customer for the first subscription period. Only after the payment of this proforma invoice will the Provider set up the ordered service for the Customer.
The Provider shall issue a proforma invoice (request for payment) for another period at least 10 days before the expiration of the prepaid period, unless otherwise set by the Customer via the Customer Administration.
The above rules for billing hosting services shall apply appropriately to the procedures for the billing of cloud services. For some selected services, especially cloud services, it is possible to pay in the form of subsequent payment.
Selected services (eg WEDOS Cloud, WEDOS Microservices) can be paid for in the form of a short-term lease, which can be paid after a period of time other than a month or a year, most often in the form of an hourly or daily subscription.

Service Variety Changes

The Customer may, trough the Customer Administration, request a switch to another variant of a specific service, or a change in certain parameters of the service (in accordance with the current offer of the Provider). Changes to the settings are made in the settings of the respective service.
In the event that the settings of a service cannot be changed via the Customer Administration, the Customer may request changes via the contact form on the Provider’s website. The Customer may request a switch to another variant of a service, the expansion of data space or the establishment or cancellation of another additional service. In this application, the Customer must prove their identity with their login data to their WEDOS customer account. The Customer shall state (in the application) on which date they request the change take place.
If it is a transition to a higher service option or the establishment of a surcharge service, the Provider will issue an invoice to the Customer for the difference the amount to be paid for the extension of the service until the end of the current subscription period. The extended service will be included in the subsequent down payment invoice for the next subscription period.
If it is a change to a lower version of the service or a cancellation of the supplementary service, the Provider does not refund the Customer the difference from the amount paid for the current subscription period. The price for the service will be deducted on the down payment invoice for the next subscription period.
When the service is terminated, the Customer will not be refunded the amount for the unused portion of the prepaid period.

Data Backups and Recovery

The Customer is obliged to back up all their data by themselves in the way they deem appropriate and is obliged to perform backups to locations outside the hardware resources of the Provider. The Customer is also obliged to check the status of backups, especially whether they occur, are complete, functional and can be used for full recovery.
The frequency of backups and their location is determined by the Customer and the Customer is fully responsible for the creation of these backups.
Restoration from backups made by the Customer is performed by the Customer themselves with their own resources and at their own expense.
For each service, the Provider uses different (especially hardware) means of data protection (for example, different versions of RAID or data cloning) to prevent data loss. A description of the data protection methods used is given for each service, if this is not the case for a service, then RAID6 or its equivalent is considered to be used. The Provider acknowledges that the data protection used does not exclude damage or complete loss of the Customer’s data and it is therefore necessary for the Customer to perform their own backup.
The Provider handles data backup and recovery for individual services in various ways. A detailed description and scope of data backup is given in the description of individual services and the scope can be changed in case the service offer changes.
The Provider warns that some services (such as dedicated servers or trial versions of services) are not backed up at all.
The Provider warns that some variants of services may be backed up in a different way than other variants of the same service. Everything is always listed on the product page of the relevant service (in its specifications).
A description of any data recovery process is given for each service separately, and if this is not the case, these terms and conditions shall apply appropriately. Eventual data recovery takes place gradually using the tools available to the Provider. Due to the amount of data, restoring data from a backup can, in some cases, take several days or longer.
Backups performed by the Provider are used to restore data in the event of a failure of the server on which the services are operated. Backups performed by the Provider are not used for data recovery caused by the Customer themselves or an error in their software or due to data loss, for example due to poor security of the Customer’s applications. If the Customer requests data recovery from the backup if the data loss was not caused by the Provider or a failure of their technology, such recovery may not be available, the Provider may refuse to provide it to the Customer for operational reasons, or such recovery may be charged according to the current price list.
The Customer understands that if the data are backed up, then the backups serve primarily for the needs of the Provider and for the case of necessary recovery in the event of an accident.
The Customer understands that the data backups performed by the Provider may be incomplete or damaged and, despite maximum care on the part of the Provider, may not be in working order. The content and integrity of the data on the servers is unknown to the Provider and so the Provider is not able to verify the integrity of the data in any way and whether the content of the live (especially virtual, dedicated server) corresponds to the performed data backups.
The Provider does not have the ability to verify the contents of backups, so it is not possible to verify the timeliness of the data inside the backup.
The Provider backs up data as physical images of the operating system and not as specific data. The Provider therefore backs up one file – an image, which then has, for example, an identical creation date to the creation date of the virtual server, and the size of this image is identical to the size of the purchased variant of the service. The Provider does not have access to the content of the data stored inside the image.
