Terms, refunds
and privacy.
Terms of service
The service
CCmini rents dedicated Apple Mac mini computers by the month. The machine stays with us, hosted in Bangkok, Thailand, and you use it over the internet by SSH and Screen Sharing. Nothing physical is shipped to you.
Your machine
Each machine is rented to one customer at a time and erased between customers. You get an administrator account. We keep a separate maintenance account, which we use only to keep the machine running or when you ask us for help.
Your Claude account
Claude Code is installed for you as freely available software from Anthropic. To use it you sign in with your own Claude subscription or API key, which you get from Anthropic and which is governed by Anthropic’s terms. We do not provide, share or resell Claude accounts or API access. CCmini is not affiliated with Anthropic.
Payment and rental period
You pay in advance for 1, 3 or 12 months. Prices are in pounds sterling (GBP). Payments are processed by Stripe; we accept major credit and debit cards and Alipay. The rental period starts when we email your login details. Nothing renews automatically: we remind you by email before the end date, and you renew by paying for the next period.
Availability
We aim for the machine to be reachable at least 99% of each month. If it is unavailable because of a fault on our side, we extend your rental by the same amount of time. If it is still unavailable after 48 hours, you may cancel and we refund the unused days.
Acceptable use
Use the machine lawfully. You may not resell, sub-let or publicly share access to it; run proxy, VPN or relay services for other people; resell accounts or API access; mine cryptocurrency; send spam; attack or scan other systems; or store or distribute illegal content. We may suspend a machine that is used in breach of these terms. Where we can, we contact you first.
Your data
You are responsible for backing up your own data. When the rental ends, access stops and the machine is erased. Before you leave, sign out of your Apple ID and turn off Find My on the Mac so that it can be erased.
Liability
We provide the service with reasonable care and skill. We are not liable for loss of data or for indirect losses, and our total liability is limited to what you paid for the current rental period. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
Changes and governing law
We may update these terms; a change applies from your next rental period. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
Refund policy
Before delivery
If you cancel before we have delivered your login details, we refund your payment in full.
Within 7 days of delivery
You can ask for a refund for any reason within 7 days of delivery. We refund what you paid minus the days already used, charged pro rata at the monthly rate (£85 for 30 days).
After 7 days
Payment for the current period is non-refundable, unless the machine has been unavailable for more than 48 hours because of a fault on our side. In that case you may cancel and we refund the unused days.
How to ask
Email hello@ccmini.cc from the address you ordered with. Refunds go back to the original payment method, usually within 5 to 10 business days.
Your statutory rights
If you are a consumer in the UK or the EU, you may also have a legal right to cancel within 14 days of ordering. If the service has already started at your request, you pay only for the days used. This policy does not reduce those rights.
Privacy
Who we are
CCmini is a small business based in London, United Kingdom, and is the controller of your personal data. Contact: hello@ccmini.cc.
What we collect
Your name and email address, your order and payment records, and the emails you send us. Card and Alipay details are handled by Stripe; we never see them. We also record whether your machine is online, so that we can fix faults and credit downtime.
What we do not do
We do not record your screen or your keystrokes, and we do not look at the contents of your machine. We sign in to it only to keep it running or when you ask us to help. We never sell your data.
This website
This website uses no cookies and no analytics. Your language choice is stored in your own browser. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes standard request logs in order to deliver the site.
Who we share data with
Only the providers we need to run the service: Stripe for payments, and our hosting and email providers. Order records are kept for as long as UK tax law requires.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of your data, or to correct or delete it, by emailing us. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
