Terms of Service

Terms of Service

Effective November 12, 2026

1. Agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and MacMiniIDC ("we", "us"), for the MacMiniIDC service. By signing in, ordering or using the service, you accept these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you use MacMiniIDC for a company, you confirm you can accept these terms on its behalf.

2. The service

• A physical Mac mini hosted overseas, rented to you alone and never split or shared. The configuration shown at checkout applies.
• Common software preinstalled, with an admin account and remote access at delivery.
• We run and repair the power, network and hardware.
• A customer can rent several Macs at once; each is a separate whole machine.

3. Your account

You sign in with a Google or Apple account. Keep your details accurate and keep your account and the Mac passwords we hand over secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us right away if you suspect unauthorized use.

4. Prices, payment and renewal

• Prices (USD): monthly $169; quarterly $481.65 paid upfront for 3 months; half-yearly $912.60 paid upfront for 6 months; yearly $1,723.80 paid upfront for 12 months. These prices are per Mac. Yearly orders of 5 or more get a further 2.5% off the first year; renewals are at the yearly price.
• Payment: orders are paid from your account balance. See section 6 for the balance rules.
• Billing period: starts on the day you pay. Usually delivered within 24 hours, and within 3 business days at the latest.
• Renewal: nothing is charged automatically. Before a period ends you can renew that Mac for another period from your balance in your account, at the price at that time; the new period starts from the old end date. You can still renew within 3 days after it ends. If you don't, service stops and section 9 applies to your data.
• Price changes: apply only to future periods, with advance notice. Periods already paid are not affected.

5. Delivery

We usually deliver within 24 hours of payment, and within 3 business days at the latest. If we don't, you get a full refund. Delivery progress and first sign-in details appear on your billing page.

6. Account balance

• Top-ups: contact us to top up. Once we confirm your payment, we add the amount to your balance. Your top-ups are listed in your account.
• Use: the balance can only pay for orders and renewals on this service. It cannot be withdrawn or moved to another account.
• Expiry: the balance does not expire.
• Refunds: when an order paid from your balance is refunded (for example under section 5), the money goes back to your balance.
• Corrections: if a top-up or charge is wrong, we correct your balance and the correction appears in your account.

7. Cancellation and refunds

• Nothing renews automatically. If you don't want to continue, simply don't renew; service ends with the current period.
• Yearly: paid upfront for 12 months and cannot be cancelled or refunded during the year.
• Apart from the delivery refund in section 5 or where the law requires otherwise, started billing periods are not refunded pro rata.
• Orders awaiting payment can be cancelled in your account at no charge.

8. Acceptable use

Apple's macOS license limits leased Macs to software development and testing, such as coding agents writing code, running builds and tests, or running developer tools. You may not use the Mac to:

• break the law or infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or other rights;
• send spam, phish, distribute malware, or attack or scan other systems;
• mine cryptocurrency or otherwise abuse the hosting network with heavy load;
• sublet or resell it to anyone else;
• bypass the security measures or usage limits of our service or any third-party service.

Third-party services you use on the Mac, such as Claude Code, Codex or GitHub, use your own accounts, and you must follow their terms, including the regions they support. An overseas host location does not by itself make you eligible for those services.

9. Admin access and your data

• You get the admin account. We and our hosting provider keep administrative access for maintenance and repairs and can reach the Mac through remote administration tools.
• Your data on the Mac belongs to you, and you are responsible for backing it up.
• When service ends, we keep the Mac for 3 days, then erase it completely and take it back. Erased data cannot be recovered.

10. Availability

We work to keep your Mac online around the clock but do not guarantee a specific uptime. Maintenance, hardware faults, network outages or events beyond our control may interrupt service. Remote desktop performance depends on your connection to the data center.

11. Referral program

Referral commissions follow the rules in effect when an order is placed and accrue only after payment is verified. Commissions are settled offline; there are no automatic payouts. Refunded orders void their commission. The commission depends on the plan of a customer's first order: 15% yearly, 10% half-yearly, 7.5% quarterly, 5% monthly. Renewals do not earn. Commissions are reconciled monthly. The program has one tier: the commission goes to the referrer who made the sale, and referring other partners earns nothing. Joining is free, and commission comes only from real payments. Promotions must be labeled as ads, disclose the commission, reflect real experience, and make no promises we have not confirmed. We may change the rules for future orders.

12. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end the service if you break these terms, especially section 8, or if your use creates security or legal risk for us, our hosting provider or others. Where practical, we will tell you first. No refund is due for termination caused by a breach.

13. Disclaimer

To the fullest extent the law allows, the service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including lost data, lost profits or business interruption. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you actually paid us for the service in the 3 months before the claim arose.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Singapore. Disputes will be handled by the competent courts of Singapore.

16. Changes

We may update these terms. We'll give advance notice of material changes on the site or by email. Continuing to use the service after an update means you accept it. Prices for periods already paid are not affected.
