Terms of Service

Last updated: July 11, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Paycryptohost ("we", "us", "our"), a self-custodial Bitcoin invoicing platform that generates cryptocurrency payment URLs so merchants, freelancers, and businesses can charge their clients in BTC without surrendering custody of their funds. Paycryptohost is not a web hosting, VPS, cloud, dedicated server, or domain registration provider. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, dashboard, APIs, and the related Bitcoin invoicing and payment-link services (collectively, the "Services").

By creating an account, issuing an invoice, configuring a Bitcoin wallet, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms together with our Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Services.

2. Definitions

• "Account" — the registered user profile used to access the platform.
• "Invoice" — a payable request denominated in USD or BTC, generated through the dashboard or API and shared with your customer as a payment URL.
• "Payment Link" — the shareable cryptocurrency checkout URL generated for each invoice.
• "Wallet" — a Bitcoin address, xPub, or extended public key configured by the user as a settlement destination.
• "Cryptocurrency" — Bitcoin (BTC) and any other digital asset explicitly supported on the dashboard.
• "User", "you" — any natural person or legal entity using the Services.

3. User Responsibilities

You are responsible for the security of your account credentials, the configuration of your settlement wallets, and the lawful operation of any website, store, or application that uses Paycryptohost to collect Bitcoin payments. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your contact details current, and promptly notify us of any unauthorized access or suspected compromise of your account.

4. Account Registration and Verification

To use most features you must create an account using a valid email address. We may, at our discretion, require additional verification for higher-volume or higher-risk activity — including email confirmation, two-factor authentication (2FA), and proof of wallet ownership. Accounts are personal to the registered user and may not be sold, leased, or transferred.

5. Platform Usage Rules

When using the dashboard, APIs, and payment-link infrastructure, you agree to operate within the documented invoice volume, API rate-limit, and storage limits of your plan. You will keep your credentials secure, enable 2FA where supported, and rotate API keys you suspect have been exposed. Sustained abuse of API rate limits or attempts to overload shared infrastructure may result in throttling, suspension, or migration to a higher-tier plan.

6. Prohibited Activities

You may not use the Services to invoice for, facilitate, or settle payments tied to activity that is illegal in your jurisdiction or ours, including but not limited to: child sexual abuse material, terrorism financing, sanctions evasion, malware distribution, phishing kits, fraudulent storefronts, unlicensed money-services activity, or content infringing third-party intellectual property. A complete list lives in our Acceptable Use Policy.

7. Cryptocurrency Payment Terms

Paycryptohost is a non-custodial payment processor. When a customer pays a Bitcoin invoice, funds settle directly to the wallet address or xPub you control. We do not hold customer funds, do not rehypothecate them, and cannot freeze or reverse on-chain transactions. You acknowledge that Bitcoin transactions are final, that exchange rates fluctuate, and that the BTC amount displayed on an invoice is a snapshot of the live market rate at the time the invoice was created.

8. Billing and Invoicing Policies

Subscription plans (Free, Pro, and higher tiers) are billed in advance and may be paid in Bitcoin or any other method shown on the pricing page. Invoices unpaid past their expiry are marked expired and may be regenerated at the then-current exchange rate.

9. Refund and Cancellation Policies

You may cancel a subscription at any time from the dashboard; the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Because Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, refunds are issued only at our discretion and are paid in BTC at the prevailing market rate on the refund date.

10. Suspension and Termination of Services

We may suspend or terminate your access without notice if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law; if continuing service would expose us or other users to material risk; or if required by a competent legal authority. You may terminate your account at any time; data is retained per the retention schedule in the Privacy Policy.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Paycryptohost and its affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption — even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount paid by you to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) USD 100.

12. Intellectual Property Rights

The Paycryptohost name, logo, dashboard, documentation, and underlying software are owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual-property law. You retain all rights to content you upload. You grant us a limited license to store, process, and transmit that content only to the extent necessary to provide the Services.

13. Service Availability and Uptime Disclaimer

We target 99.9% monthly uptime for the dashboard, invoicing API, and Bitcoin payment endpoints, measured outside scheduled maintenance windows. The Services are nonetheless provided "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant uninterrupted operation, freedom from defects, or fitness for a particular purpose, and you are responsible for keeping local backups of any business-critical data.

14. Data Protection Responsibilities

Where you process personal data of your own customers through the platform, you act as the "controller" and Paycryptohost acts as a "processor" under applicable data-protection law (including the GDPR and UK GDPR). You are responsible for the lawful basis on which you collect that data and for honoring data-subject requests. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures, described in our Privacy Policy.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Paycryptohost, its officers, directors, employees, and contractors from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Services, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party right.

16. Dispute Resolution

The parties will attempt to resolve any dispute in good faith through written notice and a 30-day informal-resolution period. Failing resolution, disputes will be finally settled by binding arbitration administered under the rules of a neutral arbitral institution mutually agreed upon, with the seat in the jurisdiction identified in Section 17. You waive any right to participate in a class action.

17. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Paycryptohost is incorporated, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Where local consumer-protection law grants you mandatory rights, those rights are not affected.

18. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced via the dashboard or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Services after that date constitutes acceptance.

19. Contact Information

Questions about these Terms can be sent through our support page. For account-specific issues, please sign in to your dashboard so we can verify your identity before responding.
