Acceptable Use Policy

1. Only run Minecraft

A Cubepals server is for playing Minecraft: Java Edition, with the mods, plugins and modpacks made for it. Don’t use it for anything else, including:

• mining cryptocurrency, or any other work that uses a server’s computing power for something other than the game;
• running a proxy, VPN, file host, website, bot network or any other service that isn’t part of the game;
• storing or sharing files that have nothing to do with your server.

2. Stay within the law

Don’t use Cubepals to do, store, or share anything illegal where you are, where we are, or where your players are. In particular, never:

• share sexual content involving anyone under 18, in any form. We report it to the authorities and close the account at once;
• threaten, harass, stalk or bully anyone, or encourage violence, terrorism or self-harm;
• share someone’s personal information without their permission (doxxing);
• share content that infringes someone else’s copyright or trademark, including mods, plugins or packs you don’t have the right to share;
• scam people, phish for their account details or payment information, or take their money in ways the law doesn’t allow, including gambling.

3. Don’t attack anyone or anything

• Don’t attack other servers, networks or people from Cubepals, for example with denial-of-service attacks, scanning, or spam.
• Don’t upload malware, or mods and plugins built to harm players or the machines they run on.
• Don’t try to break into Cubepals, other people’s servers or accounts, or our providers’ systems, or test their security without our written permission. If you find a security problem, tell us at legal@cubepals.com and we will thank you.
• Don’t overload Cubepals on purpose, or interfere with other people’s servers.

4. Play fair with the plans

• One account per person. Don’t make extra accounts to get more free hours or servers.
• Don’t try to get around your plan’s limits, for example with tools that keep a server busy so it never sleeps, or AFK farms built to defeat the idle kick.
• Don’t resell, rent out or sublet Cubepals servers or accounts as a hosting service of your own.

5. Follow Mojang’s rules

Every server must follow Mojang’s EULA (opens in a new tab) and Usage Guidelines (opens in a new tab). Don’t let people play without their own copy of Minecraft, don’t give away or sell Mojang’s server software, and if you charge players for anything, follow Mojang’s rules about it.

6. Public listings and notes

If you publish a server, its name, description, icon, tags and everything visible from its public page must be suitable for players of all ages, and must describe the server honestly. Don’t use a listing to advertise something else, and don’t pretend to be Mojang, Microsoft, Cubepals or anyone else.

Notes you leave on other people’s servers must be friendly and lawful. No spam, hate or harassment.

7. What happens on your server

You run your server, so you set its rules and decide who plays. You are responsible for what you and the people you let in do with it, as far as it’s within your control. Please moderate your own server, and if a player breaks the law, report it to the police.

8. If these rules are broken

Depending on how serious it is, we may remove a listing or a note, stop a server, limit what an account can do, suspend it, or close it, as the Terms describe. Where we can, we tell you first and give you a chance to fix it, and we always tell you which rule was broken and how to ask us to look again.

To report something, use Report on a server’s public page, or email legal@cubepals.com. For copyright, see Content and copyright.
