Terms Of Service | LightCDN CDN

Introduce

Welcome to the LightCDN service terms! The first part of our service terms is an introduction, which is similar in structure to FAQs and outlines some concepts before delving into other terminology.

What documents does TOS consist of?

We refer to the service terms as' TOS'.

This page lists the core of our TOS, but we also have other contract documents that you can consider as additional terms for specific topics. Legally speaking, these other documents are incorporated by reference as if they were written here and form a part of the entire TOS. Therefore, you should also review these other documents, which can be found at the following link:

Who does this TOS apply to?

When we mention 'LightCDN' or use pronouns such as' we ',' we ', or' our ', we refer to LightCDN and its parent, subsidiary, and subsidiary companies.

When we mention 'user', we refer to you, and we also use words such as' you 'and' your 'to refer to you. If you use our services on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, who you are may become more complex. In this case, you represent to us that you have the right to bind your company, organization, or other entity to this TOS, and you promise to represent that entity (as well as "users", "you", and "your" and then refer to such entities). If you are unsure of what this means, or if you have the authority to bind your company, organization, or entity to this contract, you should ask other people in your organization to obtain instructions regarding the authority.

What are the terms of service?

This TOS is a binding contract between you and LightCDN, covering all products, websites, products, services, features, content, applications, and other content we provide to users like you.

We will regularly differentiate between our website, such as lightcdn.com (collectively referred to as the "Website"), and all of our other services, such as our Content Distribution Service (CDN) and other paid services (collectively referred to as the "Services").

As you will see later in TOS, Section 3 (Website Terms) is specific to your use of the website, and Section 4 (Service Terms) is specific to your use of the service.

When does this TOS apply to me?

Since we have some common language, we would like to ensure that you understand when and how TOS applies.

Firstly, you must understand that this is a binding legal contract necessary for the use of our website and services. Therefore, you can only use our website and services if you agree to have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by this TOS.

If you register for a service or create an account through our website, it will be considered as agreeing to Terms of Service by default, and 'Terms of Service' will take effect. If you purchase services through a separate written contract, this TOS will be included in the contract, regardless of whether it is indicated or not. Regardless of these other methods, this TOS applies and is legally binding on you and your access and use when you visit or use our website and services. These are common examples, and this paragraph may not necessarily include all other ways in which you can be constrained by this TOS.

How to handle disputes caused by TOS?

One of our TOS requirements is that you must agree to delete the content through direct and binding arbitration between you and LightCDN: what will happen to resolve disputes arising under this TOS? In arbitration, a neutral arbitrator or panel of arbitrators will listen to the arguments of both parties and make a convenient and cost-effective decision on the dispute. When these cases involve small claims, you can still file a lawsuit in court, but all other claims will be subject to arbitration.

You should understand that this means that neither you nor LightCDN has the opportunity to resolve certain disputes in court before a judge or jury. You will not be able to make claims in traditional trials, nor will you be able to participate in court-based Class action or similar proceedings.
