Beta This is a new service — your feedback will help us to improve it.

Terms of Service

DollarBox is a trading name of UnicornOps Limited, registered in Ireland.

Effective 1 July 2026.

1. The service

DollarBox provides container hosting via Kubernetes namespaces. You can deploy via the control panel or via a namespace-scoped kubeconfig in kubectl mode. All workloads are subject to per-namespace resource quotas matching your subscription. Optional persistent volumes are available as described in our product documentation. We run the infrastructure.

2. Payment

The service is billed via Stripe. All prices are in euro and exclude VAT; VAT is added at the applicable rate and the total including VAT is shown before payment. EU business customers outside Ireland with a valid VAT number are not charged VAT (reverse charge — Article 196, Directive 2006/112/EC).

  • Containers: €1.00 per container per month, or €11.00 per container per year on the annual plan (twelve months for the price of eleven), prorated daily.
  • Persistent volume capacity: €0.10 per GB per month for a pre-paid pool. You pay for the pool size, not the number of volumes carved from it.
  • Snapshot protection: €0.10 per protected source-volume GB per month. Retention length within the supported one-to-seven-day range does not change the price.
  • Off-site volume backups: €0.15 per backed-up source-volume GB per month.

Increasing capacity is charged today, prorated for the rest of the billing period. Decreasing container capacity takes effect at your next renewal: you keep the paid capacity until the current billing period (month or year) ends, and there is no refund or credit for unused capacity. Decreasing storage, snapshot, or backup capacity takes effect immediately; there is no refund or credit for the remainder of the billing period. Switching from monthly to annual billing prorates the unused monthly time onto the annual invoice; switching from annual back to monthly mid-term is handled via support. No refunds for partial periods. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

3. Acceptable use

You may not use DollarBox to:

  • Host illegal content under Irish or EU law
  • Send spam or conduct phishing attacks
  • Mine cryptocurrency
  • Conduct denial-of-service attacks
  • Deliberately exhaust shared cluster resources

Violations result in immediate termination without refund.

4. No SLA

We provide no uptime guarantee. The service is best-effort at this price point. We will try to keep things running. We communicate outages via status.dollarbox.dev.

5. Data durability and backups

You are responsible for maintaining off-site backups appropriate for your workload.

Ephemeral storage (the default disk that comes with a container) is not durable. If your container restarts, you change its image, or you recreate the container, data on that disk is lost.

Persistent volumes (optional block storage from your pre-paid pool) survive restarts and can be detached from one container and attached to another. Deleting an unprotected volume permanently destroys its data.

Volume snapshots are optional, crash-consistent recovery points retained in the same storage cluster. They can recover earlier volume contents, but they are not off-site backups and do not protect against loss of the entire cluster. Restores create a new volume and require sufficient paid capacity.

6. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these terms, at our discretion, with or without notice.

7. Governing law

These terms are governed by Irish law. Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
