I seek clarity about putting up game patches

[posidyn]

Hello Everyone.

I read on the Free Hosting Terms of Service that:
"File Hosting Every file on your site must have to do with the website you put up, we are not a file storage service and we strictly prohibit scripts such as torrentflux or rapidleech."

and
"File Storage: Accounts are not to be used for file storage, your account will be permenantly suspended if found to be breaking this rule. Downloads are only allowed on your x10Hosting account if they have to do directly with your website. e.g. you developed custom software and are selling it or giving it away. Accounts may not be used for mirrors, game file hosting, or any other type of file hosting not specified here."

I have a games website on x10hosting, but I seek clarity on whether I am allowed to put game patches on my site for download?


Thank you.

The key lines here would be:

Downloads are only allowed on your x10Hosting account if they have to do directly with your website. e.g. you developed custom software and are selling it or giving it away. Accounts may not be used for mirrors, game file hosting, or any other type of file hosting not specified here.

Unless you developed those patches yourself, you'd essentially setting up a mirror for the patches, which would break both the mirror and game files hosting part of TOS.

OK. Thanks for the info.
