I haven't actually found anything particular in the contract for ovh.co.uk: https://www.ovh.co.uk/support/termsofservice/special_conditions_dedicated_server_2013.pdf
However, I have found this in the German ovh.de contract: "9.1. Aus Sicherheitsgründen müssen sämtliche Nutzungendurch Kunden vonnachfolgend beispielhaft und nicht abschließend genannten Diensten vor einer vorgesehenen Nutzung bei OVH per E-Mail an [email protected] beantragtwerden unter genauer Angabe der vorgesehenen Dienste; [...] Anonymisierungsdienste aller Art (z.B. Tor) etc" https://www.ovh.de/support/agb/OVH_Anlage_DRS_2013_2.pdf which basically says that you have to ask them for permission before running Tor at all (the way I understand it, AT ALL, meaning client/relay/exit node, doesn't matter) for "security reasons". Furthermore it continues: "Unabhängig davon ist der Betrieb von öffentlich zugänglichen Proxy-Diensten und öffentlich zugänglichen Exit-Nodes auf Servern der OVH ausdrücklich verboten und nicht genehmigungsfähig." Read: "public" exit nodes are not allowed at all and won't be authorized. The French contract for ovh.com has something similar but different: "7.4 Pour des raisons de sécurité, OVH se réserve la possibilité de procéder à la suspension immédiate et sans préavis de tout Serveur sur lequel serait proposé à titre gracieux ou onéreux, un service ouvert au public de Proxy, IRC, VPN, TOR, pour lequel OVH aur ait connaissance d'une utilisation malveillante, frauduleuse ou illicite." >From my understanding saying that, again for "security reasons", they reserve the right to suspend all services i.e. when running a "public" Tor service. https://www.ovh.com/fr/support/documents_legaux/Conditions_particulieres_location_serveur_dedie_2013.pdf So overall it's safe to say OVH is pretty restrictive about running Tor relays, not to mention exit nodes. Definitely not a Tor friendly hosting provider. Cheers.
