Let me give some advice here, free of charge, to you. If you don't trust my legal advice, go to your "legal department" and check it.
Which Terms and Conditions? Where can I find them? They weren't on the original site [404], and there isn't a link on the new one. How can customers know what they should or shouldn't do when the terms are nowhere to be found?
OK, Legal obligations. Obligation #1: Don't lie. There is a scroller on your webpage that says "Trusted by 10.000 websites worldwide" with a scroller that suggests a relation to that statement with company names like Discord, Github, etc. Prove that you deliver services to them. And also, usually you have to have consent by these companies to display their names. Do you have that?
This is amazing. Shit the entertainment of this thread is almost worth what I paid for my servers at this point. Lmao
Exactly. On one side I would want to chargeback, but on the flip side I still want to be part of this drama and I don't even know what legal argument could I invoke for a chargeback (since my service is still working - so sad, I know).
This drama at the end of 2025 is one of the best dramas LET ever had. It has so many plot twists and turns, I just can't stop following it. I would feel so sad to chargeback at this point - I feel like paying for quality entertainment here. 2025 was a shit year for me, but at least it ends with a good drama.
You can easily go with fraud since there is no company, no valid invoices were issued therefore you were deceived to spend money at this service.
This is even despite the original owner abandoning the company.
The state of the service and if its working or not is completely irrelevant for the above.

After updating some information, I discovered that not all servers in the same region went offline. Does a DDoS attack spare certain servers?
A few tips:
1) No real American lawyer would EVER fail to state their last name at any time, or refuse to reveal their state(s) of admission when requested to do so.
2) All real lawyers can be looked up/confirmed on their state Bar websites.
3) I predict "Andrew" will admit just being "someone in the Legal Department" when questioned, a non-existent legal department of a non-existent entity.
4) In the U.S. an entity being incorporated (an S- or C-corporation) or an LLC (limited liability company) provides NO consumer/customer protection -- there is no automatic government oversight of activities or redress for complaints of breach of contract.
5) This is a civil matter, which means you hire and pay your own lawyer to figure out what to do. This means there is no real-world recourse because your attorneys will charge WAY more than what you lost to try to get it back!
6) "Eric" claims to be Pennsylvania based. This does not mean he must incorporate in in Pennsylvania, if he incorporates at all. It costs only $149 on LegalZoom (plus state fees) for anyone to incorporate (cheaper for an LLC) in any state, and you can even do it yourself (it's easy) and save the $149.
7) This is not Europe. Small entities incorporate in the cheapest and most company-protective states, such as Wyoming and Nevada. Incorporation/LLC formation ONLY protects the "owners" from liability, it does not help the customers. Repeat, this is not Europe.
8) The U.S. national government has nothing to do with the daily operation or formation status of corporations or LLCs, other than to chase them for any federal taxes owed.
9) Anyone can claim to be "Consolidated Lint Inc." or "National Fuzz LLC" -- no government in the U.S. cares if you are a real "corporation" or not. The only thing they care about is if you have a bank account receiving money under those names and don't pay your taxes.
10) The whole transfer to the "U.S." is irrelevant anyway -- it is an attempt to socially launder the wrongdoing of the massive pre-paid up-front sale and immediate abandonment of the commitments by "Lewis".
11) This matter is nothing more than "I paid some unknown guy who might be in Lahore upfront for 12/36 months of online services" and "they have committed an anticipatory repudiation of the agreement -- they've given me the legally recognized right to reasonably conclude that I will not receive what I have already paid for" -- "and I want someone to give me my money back."
12) If it were me I'd just do a chargeback and forget it. Then watch for Lewis/Eric/TomHarper/Andrew to reappear as the next sudden "good guy" who gives pleasant DMs -- once he finds a partner who still has a working PayPal account.
And 13) the threats made by "Andrew" in his recent post about U.S. authorities do not read like they were written/dictated by anyone who went to law school, or even someone who reads a newspaper.
I'm leaving you guys on your own from here, this is fun but it's a waste of all of our time.
My @VeloxMedia UK VPS has been (and still is) running fine since I installed it again after a linux-centric migration to (it seems) another node which left it inoperable. No downtime whatsoever and my benchmark result set (a bit over 25 runs) is very similar to what it was before the ownership changed.
And, IMO the best part, the new owner constructively and patiently supported me during Christmas (mounted an ISO for me, etc.).
And hey, I get 50 TB monthly traffic volume @10 Gb/s for a quite low price and connectivity is quite good (for the price) too.
So, all in all besides the weird PR and the - at least looking - not at all smooth transfer I see nothing to complain about.
But hey, feel free to continue the witch hunt and "lawyer" games ...
When you run OSINT checks for veloxmedia or veloxmedia01 you will often see results linked to IP addresses in India. I am not sure if that means anything but it happens often enough that it caught my attention.
anyone else client page down? cant ssh to vps also.. ^^
So how do you feel about the price you paid/cashback claim window ? It was worth it? Since nobody is claiming that it's not working now but rather not honoring plans longer than cashback grace period.
Or did you pay via gift card and just want to shill hoping this lasts enough?
my vps was taken down , i can't access anything @VeloxMedia
did i just got scammed ?
Again not quite true and not quite in context. Clients signed up to the tos of velox. After that, even if velox had sold to another uk person, written notification has to be given to every client even if the infrastructure does not change (within 30 days for anctive clients). Under the gdpr. Gdpr is applied automatically based on uk or eu, doesn’t matter if an individual sole trader or company. If your data is transferred out of the contractual jurisdiction, that is different.
You seem to be replying to a different post to the one you quoted.
In the UK it is mandatory to register with the ICO if you are handling any GDPR data. Lewis never appears to have done that, so Veloxmedia has never been GDPR compliant.
That is not so, any person identifiable data falls under gdpr
Are you sure it's down? My vps not available, but ssh works and vm is up. Network is damaged.
the websites hosted are not available , the velox management panel is also not available
i can't access my account to check my services
Do you have problems with basic comprehension?
The last 2 posts of mine that you're arguing against are talking about the lack of COMPLIANCE with GDPR. Of course PII falls under GDPR, I'm not saying it's not. I'm saying that they weren't complying with UK law because they didn't register with ICO. I'm not sure how I can phrase that any differently to make it any easier to understand.
Soon we’ll be meeting the chair of the social committee
Yeah, $80 may mean nothing to you. But for someone in another part of the world, it could feed them for a week.
Btw are you Tom, Lewi, Eric, Andrew or John?
No. I can't. I live in Ireland and here as well as in UK a sole trader can register a business name (not company) under which to operate. Velox Media was a business name.
The invoice was valid, because it was mentioned a sole trader as a business name.
The original owner did not abandon. An abandonment would have been decaying support, no response to messages, services going down in neglect, and so on. But the owner simply passed the responsibilities onto someone else through sale or giveaway.
It is. If a service works and support works, my conscience will judge me if I chargeback. I can't do something like that when a new owner might actually get his house in order. Yes, I don't like this mess one bit, but service works - hence the confusion.
Just wait until they send over the HOA to check on our lawn and then we'll be fucked.

So they will come with an army of lawyers to kick me out of the home? Can they also take away LET from us?
and this was his answer on my ticket, where I asked him to migrate my VPS to a stable node or refund my money back :
** Please contact your credit card company for a refund we will terminate your service

They'll come with Karens to talk at you and that's far worse.
It's weird with all his teams he's the one answering support tickets.
IM A VERY IMPORTANT CLIENT ! I bought premium TRASH from him
The thing is if the original owner wanted to dip out, he could of just left. You guys got nothing going on in your life that you need something to talk about. Two options, take the L and move on or do a charge back so they can filter out all the lames.
Imagine you guys being this passionate about life, you'd have a girlfriend or a wife with kids by now.
After all this bullshit, I am 99% certain, they gonna deadpool.
I guess you can keep dreaming.
Now is the time to stall for time.
