That's because Canadians are hotter than Americans.

That's exactly right, any decent reseller will add some value to the service, such as management or installation of software. OVH don't offer anything like that, it is very basic support for hardware issues only.

I disagree Mac
Yup MARK i admit ...

Coz majority of the people buying servers from resellers are Americans..
If you resell and you buy from OVH in your own name each time.. then yes it's not allowed. But if you just paying using your card and the 'customer' is actually the person 'buying' from you then does this apply?
as you know, OVH doesn't have special reseller accounts/contracts for people that resell our servers. That means that the same conditions apply to a regular customer and a resellers.
From our point of view, the only person responsible for the server is the customer at OVH, whatever he does with that server. We actually don't answer or provide any sort of information/help to customers or our customers (to start with because we can't disclose information to third parties - Data Protection Act).
The idea of a reseller is not to sell to countries OVH does not, but to resell out servers with a added value or doing the marketing OVH does not. Think that OVH is expanding and therefore, the day that we start selling to the a particular country, the market for that reseller will be gone.

That's the difference between a lease and a rental agreement.
A lease is for a fixed period, and grants you the right to use the equipment for the period of the lease.
A reseller cannot grant you any rights they do not have, so cannot lease equipment to you.

I guess you could look at it like this... the reseller is just a gateway..the reseller is never the customer. They are like a proxy service.. but of the human kind. If you resell and you buy from OVH in your own name each time.. then yes it's not allowed. But if you just paying using your card and the 'customer' is actually the person 'buying' from you then does this apply?
I think OVH meant it to be no resell at all but there is always some tiny crack in the legals...
I would've thought a reseller was leasing, to.
Kinda like renting an apartment block, then renting those apartments out to tenants

All they are doing is allowing someone else to use it.
tbh guys the main reason for me offering this server for resale is because it is on the old unlimited traffic plan. So it just seems a shame to let that go.
The reseller's market is countries OVH does not sell to (yet), offering additional payment options (like Paypal) or providing extra services like managed services or quicker delivery of servers due to having their own stock.
Never understood the point of people reselling OVH servers, because don't resellers normally offer servers/products at a discount compared to the original companies prices?
It's something OVH turns a blind eye to, really. They don't officially support or encourage it.
ok then so er does anyone want a server?
Go ahead. Everybody does it

Not permissable according to the T&C's as per se....
Hey folks, i am not sure if this is allowed or not so perhaps one of you kind folks can let me know if it is or not?
I have a few kimsfui 'L' and 'XL' servers. They are all on the old unlimited traffic plans. However, i am starting to no longer require all of them. So rather than let them vanish i was wondering if it was permissable to offer them here for resale?
Is that allowed?
Apologies if i am going against any rules here!
