I've run public-facing servers on residential connections numerous times. (I did once yesterday just so I could watch my 3D printer from remotely.) If you aren't hogging bandwidth or committing crimes, it's unlikely they will care.
Also IANAL but "services to anyone outside" does not sound like it includes un-firewalled, password-protected, services for personal use. The word used is "anyone outside" not "any machine outside". The resident themself would presumably be an insider regardless of their physical or network location.
Also I think a reverse proxy with end-to-end encryption could solve the problem with no public-facing open ports. That doesn't count as a server in my book.
