For minor first-time violations, a warning may be issued before termination.

5. Service Availability

This server is operated on a best-effort basis as a private project. No uptime guarantees are provided. The operator reserves the right to shut down, modify, or restrict the service at any time, with or without notice.

The operator is not liable for any loss of data or service interruptions.

6. Content Ownership

You retain ownership of content you create. By uploading content to this server, you grant the operator a limited license to store and transmit that content as necessary to provide the service. The operator does not claim ownership of your content.

The operator acts as a hosting provider as defined under the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Austrian E-Commerce Act (ECG) and is not liable for user-generated content transmitted or stored on this server.

The operator does not actively monitor private communications and has no general obligation to do so. The operator will act promptly upon receiving valid abuse reports and will remove illegal content once it has been brought to their attention.

To report illegal or abusive content, contact abuse@storix.dev. Reports will be handled as quickly as reasonably possible.
