Terms of Service

Last updated: September 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to OSS Cloud. These Terms of Service govern your use of our cloud services platform and all associated products. By creating an account or using any OSS Cloud service, you agree to be bound by these terms.

OSS Cloud provides a range of technology services to businesses and individuals across South Africa and beyond. Our platform enables you to subscribe to and manage multiple cloud-based services through a single account.

2. Account Registration

To use our services, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old or have parental consent
  • Provide accurate and complete registration information
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access

You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or engage in suspicious activity.

3. Service Description

OSS Cloud operates a multi-service platform offering various cloud-based solutions. Services may include but are not limited to:

  • Network infrastructure services
  • API access and integration tools
  • Monitoring and analytics platforms
  • Management and orchestration dashboards
  • Additional services as introduced from time to time

Each service may have specific terms, pricing, and service levels. These general terms apply to all services, with service-specific terms taking precedence where they differ.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to use our services to:

  • Transmit malicious software, viruses, or harmful code
  • Conduct phishing attacks or distribute fraudulent content
  • Launch cyberattacks or abuse network protocols
  • Violate any applicable laws or regulations
  • Infringe on intellectual property rights
  • Harass, threaten, or harm others
  • Attempt unauthorized access to systems or data

We reserve the right to investigate and take action against any misuse of our services, including immediate termination without refund for serious violations.

5. Subscriptions and Billing

Service subscriptions are managed through your OSS Cloud account. You can subscribe to multiple services independently, each with its own billing cycle and pricing.

All prices are displayed in South African Rand (ZAR) and include VAT where applicable. Payment is due in advance on a monthly or annual basis depending on your chosen billing cycle for each service.

Subscription Management: You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel subscriptions at any time through your account dashboard. Changes take effect at the next billing cycle unless otherwise specified.
Refund Policy: You may cancel within 7 days of initial subscription for a full refund. After this period, fees are non-refundable except as required by law.

6. Data and Privacy

We respect your privacy and protect your personal information. Our data practices are outlined in our Privacy Policy. Key points include:

  • We collect only necessary information to provide services
  • Your data is never sold to third parties
  • We implement industry-standard security measures
  • You may request deletion of your data at any time
  • Usage data may be collected for service improvement

Each service may collect specific usage data necessary for its operation. This data is handled according to our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.

7. Service Modifications

We may update, modify, or discontinue features of our services at any time. We will provide reasonable notice for significant changes that materially affect service functionality or pricing.

You acknowledge that cloud technology evolves rapidly and we may need to adapt our infrastructure to maintain security, performance, and compliance with industry standards.

8. Service Levels and Availability

While we strive for high availability, we do not guarantee 100% uptime unless explicitly stated in a service-level agreement (SLA) for your subscription tier.

Scheduled maintenance will be announced in advance where possible. We reserve the right to perform emergency maintenance without notice to protect service integrity.

9. Limitation of Liability

OSS Cloud provides services on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we strive for excellence, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, OSS Cloud shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of our services. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the three months preceding the claim.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate this agreement with one month's written notice. We reserve the right to terminate accounts or specific service subscriptions immediately for:

  • Non-payment of fees
  • Violation of these terms or acceptable use policy
  • Fraudulent or illegal activity
  • Actions that threaten service stability or security

Upon termination, you must cease all use of our services. We may delete your data after a reasonable retention period unless legally required to preserve it.

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of South Africa, unless mandatory local law provides otherwise.
