Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

1. Purpose and Philosophy

Sylense provides purpose-built infrastructure engineered exclusively for Minecraft server communities and game administrators. This Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) protects all users from malicious activity, resource monopolization, and legal hazards.

2. Prohibited Workloads and Activities

Server instances, compute cores, and network allocations may not be used for any of the following activities under any circumstances:

• Cryptocurrency Operations: Mining Bitcoin, Monero, or any digital currency, as well as running blockchain proof-of-work or proof-of-stake validation nodes.
• Network Attacks: Originating, facilitating, or participating in Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) attacks, SYN floods, or packet amplification exploits.
• Port Scanning and Reconnaissance: Executing vulnerability scans, mass port probing, or brute-force access attempts against external networks or internal subnets.
• Malware and Exploit Distribution: Storing, hosting, or distributing Trojan horses, spyware, ransomware, keyloggers, or cracking utilities.
• Tor and Public Proxies: Operating Tor exit nodes, open proxy servers, VPN egress relays, or unauthorized tunneling endpoints.
• Copyright Infringement: Storing or distributing pirated intellectual property, cracked game clients, or unauthorized commercial assets.

3. Fair Resource Utilization

Every plan provisioned on Sylense receives dedicated memory and vCPU allotments. However, deliberate exploitation of system architecture, such as fork-bomb scripts, malicious memory leaks designed to crash host nodes, or unauthorized hypervisor escape attempts, will result in immediate container isolation.

4. Security Responsibilities

Server administrators are responsible for the security of their server software. This includes maintaining strong passwords for control panel and SFTP access, keeping third-party Minecraft plugins updated, and avoiding untrusted server jar binaries from unverified sources.

5. Violations and Enforcement

Sylense investigates all reported violations. Actions taken depend on the severity of the infraction and may include:

• Written notifications requiring remediation of vulnerable scripts or plugins within a specified timeframe.
• Temporary service suspension pending investigation.
• Permanent account and instance termination without refund for egregious, willful, or criminal conduct.

6. Reporting Abuse

To report an alleged violation originating from an IP address within the Sylense network, please send detailed logs and timestamps to abuse@sylense.in. Our security operations center investigates all reports promptly.
