4. Special terms of use for the 4Players game server hosting service
   4.1 4Players offers gameserver hosting services. 4Players provides the user with game servers on the Internet. The user pays a fee for the provision of hosting services. This is independent of the use of the service. The prices applicable shall be the current prices at the time of the order, which can be viewed at http://gameserver.4players.de. 4Players reserves the right to expand, change or improve the services provided. In particular, 4Players shall be entitled at any time to improve or change the selection or the respective version of the games, modifications or additional tools (AdminTools) or the operating system on which the service is based in line with technical progress. The scope of the games provided shall be limited by the availability of any advance services (e.g. licenses from the game manufacturers). Therefore, the user has no claim to the provision of specific games or versions of games, modifications, additional tools or operating systems.
   4.3 The user has access to his own FTP area, which may be used exclusively for the administration of the virtual server. It is not permitted to use the FTP area to exchange files with third parties, to back up data or for any other use that is not directly related to the administration of the virtual server. 4Players reserves the right to stop any misuse immediately, delete data on the FTP area at its own discretion and report any misuse. 4Players shall provide a separate logfile FTP area for the user to download logfiles, but shall not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of the content of logfiles created by the virtual servers at any time. 4Players shall not be held responsible for any misuse of a rented virtual server by third parties, nor for any resulting damage or consequential damage. This applies in particular to the “takeover” or hacking of the voice communication servers or disruptive, abusive or illegal actions while playing on the game servers.
   4.5 4Players guarantees an annual average availability of the virtual servers of 98%. This does not include times when the server is not available due to technical or other problems that are beyond 4Players’ control (force majeure, third party fault, etc.). If the security of the network operation or the maintenance of network integrity is at risk, access to the services may be temporarily restricted. If the user integrates or attempts to integrate his own data into the server operation via the FTP area provided, no availability is guaranteed. 4Players does not guarantee the function or operability of functions, program parts, modifications or other data integrated by the user himself.
   4.6 4Players shall have the right to temporarily disable the virtual dedicated server service for maintenance and organisational purposes. 4Players will give 48 hours’ notice. This shall not apply to shutdowns which are necessary at short notice for urgent reasons or shutdowns in connection with updates and patches, in particular of games, modifications or other software used by 4Players. 4Players draws the user’s attention to the fact that the regular maintenance of the service (daily between 4.00 a.m. and 10.00 a.m.) and the resulting need to restart the servers may lead to temporary interruptions in game operation.
   4.7 The contract for the game server hosting service shall be concluded for an agreed minimum period of time. It is automatically extended by the agreed subsequent term, unless it is not terminated within the contractually agreed period. The notice has to be made in writing (not in electronic form) by post or by fax to the respective valid address in the imprint.
