Terms of Service

By signing up for a 4k.pics subdomain, you're confirming that you've read these terms and agree to follow them. If you don't agree with something here, unfortunately our service isn't the right fit for you.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and 4k.pics governing your access to and use of our subdomain service.

To get your own 4k.pics subdomain, you need to:

• Be at least 13 years old
• Use your subdomain legally and responsibly
• Be honest when requesting your subdomain

We're offering you a free subdomain that ends with .4k.pics to use however you want (within reason). This could be for your personal website, gaming server, portfolio, file sharing, or any other project you have in mind.

We'll handle the DNS setup for you, making it easy to connect your subdomain to hosting services like GitHub Pages, Vercel, Netlify, or your own server.

While we aim to approve all reasonable requests, we might say no if we think your planned use breaks our rules.

We reserve the right to deny any subdomain request without providing a reason, though we'll generally try to explain our decision when possible.

Please don't use your 4k.pics subdomain for:

• Anything illegal – this should go without saying
• Adult or NSFW content of any kind
• Sharing pirated or copyrighted stuff you don't have rights to
• Distributing malware or other harmful software
• Scams, phishing, or other shady activities
• Hate speech or discriminatory content
• Invading others' privacy or infringing on their rights
• URL redirects to shortened links (like ad.fly, bit.ly, etc.)
• Anything that could damage our reputation or servers
• Any form of gambling, betting, or lottery services
• Cryptocurrency mining or distribution of cryptocurrency
• Content that impersonates individuals or organizations

Breaking these rules means we'll have to take down your subdomain, likely without warning.

We reserve the right to determine, in our sole discretion, whether any content violates these terms. Our interpretation of these rules is final.

The Domain: While you get to use your chosen subdomain, we maintain ownership of the main 4k.pics domain.

Your Content: Whatever you put on your subdomain belongs to you. We just need permission to use your DNS records and similar data to keep the service running.

Grant of License: By using our service, you grant 4k.pics a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, and use your DNS configuration information as necessary to provide the service.

No Transfer of Rights: These Terms do not grant you any right, title, or interest in any subdomain. Your right to use a subdomain is limited to what is expressly granted in these Terms, and we reserve all rights not expressly granted.

We might need to deactivate your subdomain if:

• You break any of these terms
• Your subdomain sits unused for too long (typically more than 6 months)
• We run into technical issues with your subdomain
• We receive a valid legal order to do so
• We receive a legitimate DMCA takedown notice
• We decide to discontinue the 4k.pics service entirely
• Your use of the service creates legal liability for us
• We need to comply with applicable laws or regulations

If your subdomain is deactivated due to a violation of these terms, we reserve the right to refuse future service to you.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before deactivating your subdomain, but we cannot guarantee advance notice in all cases.

We value your privacy and only collect what we absolutely need to provide this service. Have questions about your data? Contact us at [email protected].

Just know that we're not responsible for any data breaches that happen on your end or through how you use your subdomain.

Information We Collect: When you request a subdomain, we collect your contact information (email), requested subdomain name, and the technical information necessary to set up your DNS records.

How We Use Your Information: We use your information solely to provide, maintain, and improve our service. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Data Retention: We retain your information as long as necessary to provide the service to you. If you would like us to delete your information, please contact us at [email protected].

THIS SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

We're offering this service as-is. We can't promise it will be perfect, uninterrupted, or exactly what you need. We make no warranties or representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the service.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not guarantee that:

IN NO EVENT SHALL 4K.PICS, ITS OPERATORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THIS SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

If something goes wrong, 4k.pics and the people running it aren't liable for damages or losses you might experience from using (or not being able to use) our service.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain types of damages. Therefore, some of the above limitations in this section may not apply to you.

By using our service, you agree to protect 4k.pics and its team from any legal claims or expenses that come from your use of the service or from breaking these terms.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless 4k.pics, its operators, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees) arising from:

• Your use of the service
• Your violation of any term of these Terms
• Your violation of any third-party rights, including without limitation any copyright, property, privacy, or publicity rights
• Any claim that your content caused damage to a third party

This defense and indemnification obligation will survive these Terms and your use of our service.

We might update these terms sometimes. When we do, the new version takes effect immediately. Continuing to use your subdomain means you accept any changes we've made.

We'll try to notify you of significant changes by sending an email to the address associated with your subdomain request or by posting a notice on our website.

You are responsible for keeping your contact information up to date. If you don't agree with the changes, your only recourse is to stop using the service.

These terms follow German law. If there's ever a legal dispute, it'll be handled in German courts.

You agree that any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the service shall be governed by the laws of Germany, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

You agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Berlin, Germany for the purpose of resolving any such disputes.

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose, or the claim will be permanently barred.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by an authorized representative of 4k.pics.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and 4k.pics regarding the service and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter.

No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of 4k.pics.

If you have any questions or concerns about these terms, reach out to us at [email protected].

By requesting or using a 4k.pics subdomain, you're agreeing to everything we've outlined above.
