Terms of Service | SSH Stores

Welcome to SSH Stores. By accessing or using our website (sshstores.net) and VPN/SSH services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before creating an account or using our services.

If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use our services. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time, and your continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

1. Service Description

SSH Stores provides free account creation services for various VPN and secure tunneling protocols including SSH, OpenVPN, WireGuard, Vmess, Vless, Trojan, Shadowsocks, and NoobzVPN. Our platform generates temporary accounts that allow users to connect to VPN servers operated by SSH Stores and third-party infrastructure providers.

The service is provided free of charge and is funded through advertising displayed on our website. Free accounts are time-limited (typically 3-30 days depending on the service type) to ensure fair distribution of resources across all users.

We make no guarantees about service availability, connection speeds, or uninterrupted access. While we strive to maintain reliable infrastructure, VPN services may experience downtime for maintenance, upgrades, or technical issues.

3. Account Creation and Management

No Registration Required: Most of our services do not require email registration or personal information. You simply create a username and password (for protocols that require credentials) and receive immediate access.

Account Validity: Free accounts have limited validity periods ranging from 3 to 30 days depending on the service type. After expiration, accounts are automatically deleted from our systems and cannot be recovered or extended.

Account Limits: To prevent abuse, we implement rate limiting on account creation. Users may only create a limited number of accounts per day from a single IP address. Attempting to bypass these limits through VPNs, proxies, or other means may result in temporary or permanent IP bans.

Server Capacity: Each server has a maximum number of accounts that can be created within a given time period. When a server reaches its limit, you must wait until the limit resets (typically every 12 hours at 00:00 and 12:00 UTC) or choose a different server.

4. Service Limitations and Disclaimers

4.1 No Service Guarantees

SSH Stores is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee that:

The service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
Servers will always be available or have capacity for new accounts
Connection speeds will meet any particular standard or expectation
The service will be compatible with all devices, applications, or networks
Account credentials will remain valid for their full advertised duration if servers experience technical issues

4.2 Third-Party Infrastructure

Some VPN servers in our network are operated by third-party infrastructure providers. While we configure these servers to minimize logging and protect privacy, we cannot guarantee the privacy practices of all server operators. For maximum privacy, users should treat free VPN services as lower-trust than paid, privacy-focused alternatives.

4.3 No Liability for User Actions

SSH Stores is a privacy tool provider, not a shield for illegal activity. We are not responsible for how users choose to use our services. You are solely responsible for your actions while connected to our VPN servers, and you agree to indemnify SSH Stores against any claims, damages, or legal actions arising from your misuse of the service.

If we receive valid legal requests for information related to illegal activities conducted through our service, we will cooperate with law enforcement to the extent required by law.

Reverse engineer our account generation systems or APIs
Use our branding, logos, or trademarks without authorization

If we discover our content on unauthorized websites, we will file DMCA takedown requests and report copyright violations to Google and other search engines.

5. Privacy and Data Collection

Our privacy practices are detailed in our Privacy Policy. Key points:

We do not log browsing activity, websites visited, or data transmitted through VPN tunnels
We may temporarily store basic connection metadata (timestamps, server locations) for abuse prevention

Technical indicators of malicious activity

6.3 Appeals

If you believe your account was terminated or your IP was banned in error, you may contact us at [email protected] with details. We will review legitimate appeals, but our decisions are final.

7. Age Restrictions

SSH Stores services are intended for users aged 13 and older (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher). If you are under 18, you should obtain parental permission before using VPN services.

We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has created an account, we will delete it immediately.

8. Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where SSH Stores operates. Any disputes arising from your use of our services will be resolved in accordance with those laws.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and may provide additional notice through our website.

For questions, concerns, or reports of Terms of Service violations, please contact:

Email: [email protected]

Please include detailed information when reporting violations, including timestamps, server locations, and evidence of abuse. We take all reports seriously and will investigate promptly.

11. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be modified to reflect the parties' intention or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Summary

To summarize: Use SSH Stores responsibly and legally. Don't spam, attack networks, share illegal content, or violate others' rights. Accounts are free and temporary. We don't log your browsing activity. Violations will result in account termination and possible IP bans. By creating an account, you agree to all these terms.

Regards,

Team SSH Stores
